There are 13 stories in "The So-So Story", which the author "made up" in his early years to answer various questions raised by his daughter (such as why the whale's throat is so small, why the elephant's trunk is so long, and why the camel has a hump, etc.). Most of the stories in the book begin with an affectionate "My dear child," and many of the stories are peppered with jokes that fathers and daughters have shared privately. Kipling made full use of his extraordinary imagination and childlike sense of humor to explain to children why the things we see are the way they are.

Inspired by the Nordensköld expedition, Swedish explorer Sven Hedin embarked on his first trip to Asia in the summer of 1885, from Russian Central Asia to Persia, and gradually towards the heart of Asia. Five years later, he followed a camel team from a small town in eastern Russia to Kashgar, an important border town in China. This trip made him have an indissoluble bond with China's Xinjiang and Tibet regions. Three years later, Hedin once again visited Central Asia for an expedition, focusing on the Tarim region, with a total distance of 10,498 kilometers. After that, he went deep into the western regions of China many times to fight against the barren mountains and rivers, trying to climb the "Father of Icebergs" Muztagh Peak, and challenge the "Place of Death" Taklimakan Desert. Among them, the most eye-catching achievements were the discovery of the ancient city of Loulan and the redefinition of the location of Lop Nur.

The Walden Pond in his works is clear and pure, deep and meaningful, suitable for winter and summer, sunny and rainy, suitable for viewing from a distance and close up, suitable for close reading and shallow appreciation, and suitable for the ages. He uses it as a means to wash away the worldly dust and cleanse the spirit. This great poet was wandering by the lake. He had talents and philosophical thoughts that transcended time and space. With his wonderful pen, he turned this small lake of only 61 acres into a bright starry sky that the whole world looked up to. This is a simple book, but also a profound book, a simple book, but also a gorgeous book. Today, when the natural ecology is subject to unprecedented pollution and damage, it has even more special significance. Walden Pond has become a symbol of mankind's desire to return to nature.

However, "1491: Apocalypse in Pre-Columbian America" ​​tells us with pictures and facts - we were all wrong! "1491: Apocalypse in Pre-Columbian America" is the work of American journalist Charles Mann. He followed a scientific research team to the sites of ancient American civilizations, visited and investigated local historical relics, folk customs, and consulted local preserved historical documents and records, as well as many archaeologists. Experts in anthropology, biology, linguistics, sociology, and ethnology communicated and communicated.

Li Bingyin has been involved in literary activities and engaged in literary criticism writing for nearly 20 years. Compared with this short period of time, the results achieved appear very meager. Every time I think of this, I can't help but feel ashamed. There are three parts to the papers selected for inclusion in this book. They are reviews of writers' works, reflections on the creation of novels and essays, and articles on research on the creation of reportage. The time when these articles were written and published almost accompanies my entire history of literary criticism research.

Cao Cao (AD 155--220), named Mengde, was a native of Qiao County, Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui). He was an outstanding politician and military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, and he also had profound attainments in literature. His thoughts had a great influence on later generations and are worth studying. Since there is currently a lack of a good quality compilation of Cao Cao's works on the market, we have reprinted this collection of Cao Cao. This collection was compiled and printed in 1959. It is based on Ding Fubao's Collection of Famous Masters of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties and the Collection of Emperor Wu of Wei. For the poems and essays, I have used Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Song Dynasty Music Chronicles, Yuefu Poetry Collection and various other books for proofreading, and the sources have been indicated.

I want to make the world a more beautiful place, even just a little bit. My work is a small expression of this desire. --People from Lushan, Beida Road

In the modern history of China, Hunan produced more reformers, military officers, and revolutionaries than any other province in China. However, historical research rarely conducts coherent discussions on Hunan. This book is different from the common view that China's modernization was inspired by the capital and treaty ports inland. Instead, it focuses on Hunan and believes that Hunan's internal ideological reforms and discussions have affected the direction of China's modern history.

The story takes place in 1888, which is also known as the "Year of the Three Emperors" in Germany. Although Wilhelm II, the last emperor of the Second German Empire, flaunted his reform after ascending the throne, he actually clung to the old tradition of autocratic monarchy. Correspondingly, the novel's protagonist Joachim, who was born in a traditional Junker family, was also influenced by old and new forces, wandering between tradition and modernity. According to the Junker tradition that "the eldest son inherits the family business and the youngest son must join the army", Joachim was forcibly sent to Kulm Military Academy by his parents when he was ten years old, and he has been homeless since then. Twenty years later, when he became a lieutenant, he fell in love with Ruzena, a waitress whom he met by chance. However, after his brother Helmut, the intended heir to the manor, died in a duel with a Polish landowner, he faced a major life decision: inheriting his father's inheritance, taking over the manor, and proposing to the baron's daughter Elizabeth. However, during the decision-making process, sharp conflicts arose between father and son, which eventually led to his father's mental breakdown.

The prodigal son leaned out and almost fell off. When he turned around, he saw Takeo frantically waving the handkerchief and calling. Suddenly the track turned around the corner of the mountain. Outside the car windows in both places, there are only green mountains. But hearing the whistle blowing was like the sound of breaking cloth. The train was speeding toward the west.

This is a wonderful book that gives a panoramic view of British history. Jeremy Blake condenses 3,000 years of Great Britain into this book, taking readers on a breathtaking journey through British history. This book takes chronology as the axis and introduces how Britain gradually grew from a small island country to become the British Empire that has "held power in the world" for hundreds of years from aspects such as wars, regime changes, economic and cultural development, and how it gradually declined. The book takes the popular Scottish independence referendum event as an opportunity to show the development process of modern "Britishization". Starting from the impact of the British geographical environment on its development, this book explores the formation of British society and political culture, and also shows readers the national identity and collective memory of the British people after the vicissitudes of life. The rise of the British Empire and the process from its dominance to its end are clearly reflected in the book.

The book begins with an exploration of familiar imagery from the French Revolution, from Dickens, Baroness O'Shea, and Tolstoy, as well as the legend of "if there's no bread, let them eat cake" and the tricolor flag.

Doyle strives to make readers realize that the French Revolution destroyed long-lasting culture, institutions, and social structures in France and beyond, and that we are still living with the legacy of this revolution today. The final part of the book considers why this revolution caused so much controversy.

Xenophon was one of the three major historians of ancient Greece along with Herodotus and Thucydides. He not only wrote "History of Greece" and "The Long March" and other masterpieces that were praised by later generations, but also wrote many short articles criticizing the city-state system and people and events at that time. "Economics and Politics of Ancient Greece" is a collection of seven short treatises by Xenophon, including "Domestic Economics", "On Financial Resources", "Spartan Constitution", "Agesilaus", "Hiero", "On Captains of Cavalry" and "The Constitution of Athens" written under the name of Xenophon. Although these articles are short, they are quite groundbreaking. They are the earliest works in the classical era to discuss topics such as family life management, city-state income and expenditure reduction, and cavalry combat training. They have left a wealth of historical materials for future generations to understand the major city-states of Sparta and Athens in the Greek classical era, as well as the social life and political, economic, and military conditions of the time.

Ten years later, Maslova, who became a prostitute, was falsely accused of murder and thrown into prison. In the court, Nekhlyudov, as a juror, discovered that the criminal on trial was Maslova, so his conscience found out and he was determined to atone for his crime and appeal for her. After his appeal failed, he was exiled to Siberia with Maslova and decided to marry her. Maslova rejected him, but was deeply moved by his behavior.
