Yoshihiko Amino was one of the most original historians in Japan in the 20th century, and he single-handedly created a new situation in the study of Japanese medieval history. In this book, he shows the changes in Japan's country and society before modern times from many aspects such as the popularization of writing, currency circulation, class and discrimination, women's social status, the origin of the emperor and Japan's national title, and the differences in culture and life in different regions. He breaks the existing common sense and rethinks and interprets Japanese history. In his writings, medieval Japan was not an isolated island country, and its residents were not just farmers who worked on the land. Nor were they just warriors with strong armor, nobles vying for power, and emperors of the eternal line. In sharp contrast is the dynamic Japanese history driven by trade, circulation and competition. A large number of non-agricultural populations are active on these stages: mountain people and sea people who live on mountains, rivers and seas, various craftsmen who form guilds, various sects of New Buddhism that are deeply involved in social changes, women who enjoy a certain degree of freedom and actively participate in social activities, and fully participate in social activities. Merchants who make use of the land and sea transportation network, geishas, beggars, and witches who run around begging for a living, various "non-humans" with "filth" on their hands, lords and bureaucrats who work hard to run estates and territories... Together with the farmers, they constantly adapt and transform the environment in order to survive and develop, and create an economy, politics, society and culture with their own characteristics.

Haiku is an extremely important literary genre with Japanese characteristics, and Matsuo Basho is known as the "Saint Haiku". He is the first master of classical haiku and the haiku artist who pushed the art of haiku to its highest peak. Basho is to haiku what Du Fu is to Tang poetry. Basho's haiku not only inherits the classical tradition of Chinese poetry and Japanese waka, but also does not shy away from mixing in daily colloquialisms. It captures the essence of comedy and is full of the spirit of free creation. Basho is good at capturing the absolute loneliness in daily life and the colors of sound and fragrance in quiet moments, such as the fragrance of leaves when they are heated by sunlight in the morning and dusk, or the faint sound of cold water when a frog leaps into an ancient pond. The poet uses this to show a passionate glimpse of nature in the eternal flow of time. The spirit of mourning for things in later Japanese literature and the spiritual sensitivity to all things in nature were mostly influenced by it. In his writing, the harmony of elegance and vulgarity in haiku has reached an unprecedented height. This book selects more than 300 haiku sentences that Basho wrote throughout his life, arranges them chronologically, and includes the original text, pronunciation and brief notes to aid appreciation.

Among the three treasures of the Louvre, two are ancient Greek heritage. Among the four great tragedians in the history of Western drama, three are ancient Greeks. The Roman poet Horace once said: "The Romans conquered Greece, but Greek culture conquered Rome." Ancient Greek civilization is one of the two major sources of Western civilization. In this book, two well-known American historians and archaeologists work together to bring us into the long history of ancient Greece from prehistory to 30 BC. They skillfully weave together historical events, influential figures and social systems, as well as themes such as politics, economy, religion, geography, war, philosophy, mythology, drama, painting, and architecture. Combining 53 maps, 182 illustrations, and rich and wonderful historical documents, they take us deep into the daily lives of the ancient Greeks, experience the fluctuations and extensions of their spiritual world, and understand the important driving force behind their own civilization. More importantly, this book is not limited to the description of the Aegean region, but expands its horizons to the entire Mediterranean world, striving to comprehensively present the countries and people who interacted with the ancient Greeks. From this, the book narrates the Mycenaean civilization, the centuries-long bleak Dark Ages, the birth and success of city-states in the Archaic era, the Hellenistic era, and the moment of fate that fell to the iron heel of ancient Rome. In the author's writing, this land demonstrates its ups and downs, struggles, and endless power in the torrent of the times. As for the ancient Greeks as the protagonists, we can also fully understand the specific contributions their actions made to major historical processes.

On November 16, 1776, the rumble of cannons was heard from an inconspicuous fortress on the Dutch island of St. Eustatius. This was a response to the customary salute fired by the American warship "Andrew Doria" when it entered a foreign port. Although the salute was weak, it announced for the first time the most significant event of that century - the birth of a new country destined to change the course of history. Barbara W. Tuchman writes about the American Revolution from a new perspective in this work. She writes not only about Washington and the bloody soldiers, but also about the frustration and decadence of British general Rodney, and the assistance provided by France and the Netherlands for their own complicated reasons. In the words of George Washington, the United States "seems to have been specially designed by God to demonstrate the greatness and happiness of mankind." However, mankind does not move toward freedom as steadily as it praises. Between truth and endless falsehoods, the restraint of reason seems to be eternal.

"The Era of Great Change" is divided into three main parts. The first part depicts the intervention of the rich in national politics under the "old order". The federal government was largely subordinated to business interests, and the gap between the rich and the poor increased accordingly; the second part, "The Dynamics of Change", describes the various forces that have gradually changed the country's traditions since the 20th century: mass production, the Great Depression and the big government model, World War II and the rise of the United States as a world power. Against this background, the author shows how economic institutions can be reformed without being destroyed; in the conclusion, "The New America" ​​is a promising assessment of postwar American culture, and Allen analyzes many common and critical issues.

A well-known historian of the Mongolian Empire and an expert on inland Eurasian history and culture; he compiles historical materials in six languages ​​and uses pearls as a window to link land and sea trade in the Eurasian world; he traces the cross-ecological interaction between the north and the south and reexamines the long-term influence of Mongolian political culture. In 1221, in present-day Turkmenistan, a woman captured by Mongol soldiers claimed to have swallowed her pearls to protect them. She was immediately executed, and in order to find a few pearls, Genghis Khan ordered his soldiers to disembowel those who died on the battlefield. With aesthetic, economic, religious and political value, pearls were the supreme treasure of the ancient world. And Mongolia, the most extensive inland empire in history, is its unrivaled collector, supporter, and transmitter. What kind of new starting point and new challenge will it bring for nomadic people to expand their influence to the ocean area?

"History" written by Herodotus is the first historical masterpiece in ancient Western times. Its main content is an "investigation and study" of the history and culture of various nations around the world at that time. It was divided into nine volumes by later generations of scholars. Taking the relationship between Greeks and foreigners as the main line, the author describes the geographical environment, ethnic distribution, economic life, political system, and history of Lydia, Media, Babylon, Egypt, Persia, India, Scythia, Libya, and the Aegean Sea region of Greece. It includes historical events, customs, religious beliefs, places of interest, etc., And then focuses on describing the course of the ancient "World War" - the Persian War, starting from the beginning of the war, passing through the Battle of Marathon, the Battle of Salamis, and ending with the Battle of Plataea and the Battle of Mycale.

Herodotus (approximately 484 BC - 425 BC) was the greatest historian and writer in ancient Greece. Chinese readers often compare him to Sima Qian (145 BC-90 BC), the author of the great historical work "Historical Records". Sima Qian's son inherited his father's legacy and served as the Taishi Ling. He traveled around various places to learn about customs and collect rumors. Herodotus also used vivid writing to record what he heard and saw during his long journeys in his life, as well as the history of Persia and other countries, and wrote a book that influenced later generations for more than two thousand years - "History of Herodotus". Cicero, the famous political orator in ancient Rome, called Herodotus the "father of history" (paterhistoriae). It can be said that it is not an exaggeration at all, just as Sima Qian can be regarded as the "father of Chinese history." The book "History of Herodotus" mainly records many historical stories Herodotus heard. Indeed, this is similar to Sima Qian. In fact, there are many stories in "Historical Records" that Sima Qian heard. But this does not prevent Sima Qian from becoming a great historical recorder. Precisely because of his records, even the stories heard from hearsay were completely recorded and passed down to this day more than two thousand years later in the form of books. Isn't this a miracle in itself? Assuming that without Sima Qian's records, many wonderful stories in Chinese history might have fallen into darkness and remained unknown. Herodotus recorded or dictated many battles, histories, and many interesting stories in his books. It is precisely because of Herodotus's records that later generations have a basis for studying the Peloponnesian War and have historical data for reference. Herodotus once said that the reason why he wanted to record these things and pass them on to future generations was "to preserve the achievements of mankind so that they would not be forgotten due to age, to prevent the admirable achievements of Greeks and foreigners from losing their luster, and especially to record the causes of their disputes." Of course, it is undeniable that many of the stories in his world-impacting book were imaginary, and many of them were seriously distorted. But after all, this is the earliest record of human history left to the world. If we don't read it, what can we read? In the same way, if we don't read Sima Qian's "Historical Records" to understand the history he knew, even if it was hearsay, who can we read? There is no room for choice. Therefore, we can only look at the people and events at that time from Herodotus's historical perspective, and we can only observe the first-hand historical information he provided us from Sima Qian's historical perspective. There is no other choice.

This volume covers the period from 1450 to 1650, which has long been considered an extremely important period in the history of European cartography. The book first introduces the academic circles' discussions and reflections on the concept of "Renaissance" in recent years, and carefully analyzes the continuation and rupture between the maps of this period and the medieval maps, and introduces the role of maps in late medieval society, thus setting the tone for the writing of this volume. This volume discusses maps and Renaissance culture by topic; the drawing of cosmographic, nautical and celestial maps; the visual, mathematical and textual models used for map drawing; the relationship between literature and maps; the production and consumption of technology; maps and their role in national governance during the Renaissance; and finally discusses the history of cartography in Italian countries, Portugal, Spain, etc. As advances in science during the Renaissance, the use of classical mapping techniques, the emergence of new trade routes, and dramatic political and social changes fueled an explosion in map production and use, this volume, unlike other volumes, spends considerable space discussing maps in a variety of contexts and connections, resulting in some innovative interpretive monographs.

"Persian War" tells the story of the causes and consequences of the Persian War and the entire process, from the Persian emperor who was proficient in power and the Greek city-states who were keen on infighting, to the Spartan warriors who were militarized and perverted, and the Athenian politicians who flaunted good government. It wrote a majestic epic full of wildness. The most exciting thing about the book is the restoration of the thrilling and fierce battle scenes between the two sides. Whether it was the encounter between the two sides on the Plains of Marathon in 490 BC; or the bloody battle between 300 Spartan warriors and the "King of Kings" Xerxes at the Thermopylae Pass; or the naval battle of Salamis, where 1,200 Persian warships were completely defeated by 300 Athenian warships... Every scene is vividly depicted, as if the reader was on an ancient battlefield and saw it with his own eyes through armor. As the first international contest across Europe and Asia in the classical world, the Persian War marked the beginning of thousands of years of conflict between Eastern and Western civilizations. "Persian War" reproduces this civilizational struggle in the classical world from a new perspective. For readers who want to understand this period of history, this book is a highly anticipated introductory book.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Europe was prosperous and peaceful. Suddenly, the Europeans who had enjoyed all this were dragged into the Great War, experiencing deep suffering, sorrow and fear. After the Napoleonic Wars, Europe had been at the pinnacle of civilization for nearly a hundred years, but now it suddenly fell into the abyss of barbarism. The 20th century, which opened with the praises of civilization, turned into a century of war. From 1914 to 1949, Europe experienced two brutal wars in succession, and seemed determined to destroy itself. It was a time of great chaos. Ethnic hatred, territorial disputes, class conflicts, and economic crises have poisoned politics. Under the haze of war, the evil of human nature is revealed through machines and technology. It was also a time of great change. After the two wars, Europe, which had gone through hell, tried to be reborn on the ruins of humanity and civilization, and the outline of a new Europe gradually became clear. In the first half of the 20th century, Europe went to hell and was reborn. After this chilling history, the world we live in is moving forward bearing its mark.
