The Greco-Persian Wars were a collective name for a series of wars that broke out between the Persian Empire and Greek city-states from 499 BC to 449 BC, which lasted for half a century. Although the Greeks were far weaker than the Persian army in terms of military strength, the final victory of the Greeks opened the way for the Greek city-states to develop a unique creativity, independent spirit, and democratic atmosphere, which also affected the future development of Western history.

The novel "Proceedings" tells the wandering life of Adam Poirot. In the eyes of the world, Adam is a man who has nothing to do all day long, wandering on the beach and in big cities. He does not care about the news and movements of society and the city, nor does he think about his past, recall his relatives, or consider his future. He seems to have cut off all ties with modern society. He always maintained a straightforward approach and refused to accept rational directions of thought. At the same time, he strives to materialize himself so that he can dissipate and melt into a bit of matter in the universe. In the end, he was regarded as a mental patient by the police because of the "weird" speech he made on the street and was sent to the hospital. "Proceeding Transcript" has the rich fantasy color of Le Cléchio's early works. Adam was considered a "madman" by society because he told the truth, but he showed extremely high intelligence and amazing thinking ability in his tit-for-tat conversations with the medical team.

As the Swedish Academy commented on him, he "is a writer who marks a new beginning in literature. His works contain poetic innovation, sensual ecstasy, and an exploration of human nature under the dominance of civilization and free from civilization." Former French President Charles de Gaulle once commented: ""Proceedings" allowed me to enter another world. Maybe this is a real world."

From being devastated by the artillery fire of the Thirty Years' War to trying to control the world during the Third Reich, Germany followed a winding path under different rulers. We cannot help but ask: How do political decision-makers in Germany and around the world understand and use the power in their hands, and under the guidance of what concepts do they make decisions to determine the fate of the country and influence the development process of the world? In order to answer this extraordinary question, German history expert Christopher Clark ingeniously grasped the philosophical incision of "time consciousness" and used four shapers of German history, namely Elector Friedrich Wilhelm, Friedrich II, Bismarck and Hitler as research samples, to conduct a groundbreaking interpretation of the issue of "the relationship between the power of those in power and their time consciousness." Time consciousness relates to a country's past, present and future: drawing lessons and strength from past history, presupposing possible future crises and changes, and guiding current decisions and actions to achieve one's own political goals are the basic thinking logic of national political decision-makers. From a vast sea of ​​historical materials, Clark extracts information such as the personal experiences, historical background, speeches, and political actions of Friedrich Wilhelm, Friedrich II, Bismarck, and Hitler. With thoughtful and passionate writing, Clark reveals the answers to questions such as how decision-makers understand and use the concept of time, the interaction between power and time, and the impact of time consciousness on the internal affairs and diplomacy of major powers.

In the court, Nekhlyudov, as a juror, discovered that the criminal on trial was Maslova, and was deeply condemned by his conscience. He ran to avenge her and asked to marry her to atone for his sins.

Lou Ling thought that she and Mo Sheng would be happy forever, but she didn't know that all his love was just a premeditated revenge, and she was the target of his revenge from the beginning to the end. "Actually, everything should have ended as early as the day you fell in love with me. I was kind enough and gave you two more months to dream." She looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, and her heart fell into the abyss. "Did you ever love me?" She asked. His face was expressionless: "No." "That's good, otherwise I'm afraid that after I leave, you will stay up at night and miss you." "Actually, I don't love you either, all I love is your face that is exactly like his." A few months later, they met on a narrow road in a shopping mall, and she smiled like a flower at other men after she was reborn as a phoenix. He realized that he had missed the most beautiful scenery in the world.

This play was created in 1900. It uses 10 dialogues between men and women to convey the moral decadence of Austria at that time, and reveals the fundamental human nature of pursuing desires that are immediately satisfied. Ten characters from the upper, middle and lower classes of society, including prostitutes, soldiers, civilians, artists and nobles, appear in turn in the form of AB-BC-CD-DE-EF-FG-GH-HI-IJ-JA. Different people are connected together through the theme of "sex", presenting a recurring, end-to-end structure, which also implies the interlocking relationship between different social classes. Schnitzler deliberately introduces characters only by stating their identities and status. It was 20 years after the script was published that it was all put on the stage. It caused an uproar during the performance and was later banned from being performed as a pornographic play.

"Voices of History" contains the most beautiful and evil speeches in history. Some of these speeches were heroic and inspiring, some were evil and cruel, and some were poignant and heart-warming. Not only can we see the appearances of Socrates, Alexander the Great, Churchill, Hitler and others, but we can also see how they relied on the power of language at critical moments to either capture the truth of the times or tell a big lie, thereby influencing the thinking of the masses and changing the course of history. Like a master storyteller, historian Simon Montefiore recounts these speeches and the stories behind them in gripping style. Massacres on the battlefield, shouts for freedom, foolish delusions, heartbreaking farewells... These stories that have happened all over the world and spanned thousands of years tell us how history has come to this day, and how they can inspire the future.
