Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zong of Tang and Song Ancestors, all these romantic heroes are "all gone". However, the merits and demerits and political wisdom they left to future generations have disappeared with the passage of time and the change of dynasties.

Divided into three volumes, this book tells the history of England from 50 BC to 1689 AD, when Queen Victoria ascended the throne, and also covers some major historical events in Scotland, Ireland and France. Although it is a history book, Dickens used a more interesting and story-telling literary writing technique, and created it on the basis of historical facts. He created the dialogue and characters' emotions in the text vividly, giving readers an immersive feeling...

Historian Emma Rothschild combined parish archives, tax records, memoirs and other materials to conduct a panoramic observation of the story of five generations of an ordinary French family, and restored a huge local social network around a prenuptial agreement, thus opening up a boundless historical time and space composed of many ordinary people. It is like a painting by Bruegel, with countless detailed historical contexts buried in it, telling the fear and love, uneasiness and hope of ordinary people of the same generation as Robespierre, Napoleon, Tocqueville, and Balzac, and describing the political, economic and social vicissitudes of France in the past three hundred years.

This book is a medieval history textbook written by Professor Miles. It narrates the history from the Western Roman Empire to Columbus's discovery of the American continent.

In the two to three hundred years after 1500, millions of white Europeans were kidnapped by Muslims from their homes at sea or along the coast, and then sold in the slave markets of North Africa. The British boy Thomas Pellow was one of the white slaves. In the early 18th century, he was bought by the Moroccan Sultan Moulay Ismail. At that time, the sultan was building a magnificent palace, which was built entirely by white slaves. Because Pelo was younger and more resourceful, he became the Sultan's personal slave. Perrault witnessed both this cruel regime and the spectacular scene of this court. After more than twenty years of servitude, Pelo finally regained his freedom and wrote his own story. This book is mainly based on Perlow's experiences and other relevant documents.

The collection of Toynbee's works (set of 7 volumes) includes "Historical Studies (Part 1 and 2)", "Man and Mother Earth: A Narrative World History", "A Historian's View of Religion", "Civilizations Tested", "Customs and Change: Challenges of Our Times", and "From East to West: A Global Travel Note". \U003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E "Man and Mother Earth" was written in 1973. It is Toynbee's last work. It is a panoramic survey of world history from a global perspective and a highly readable chronological historical work. In a lyrical and graceful style, Toynbee demonstrated the interrelationship between human beings and their living environment, described the entire process of the origin, development, interaction and integration of human civilization, and systematically introduced the types of civilizations in various periods and regions of the world from 500,000 years ago to the 1970s. \U003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E In "Historical Research", Toynbee listed more than twenty living or dead civilization forms in world history, and made a comprehensive comparison of their respective developments. Toynbee believed that culture suffered through the "challenge" of the environment. The growth of culture is determined by the historical activities of a few great figures who "retired" and "reappeared"; the decline of culture comes from the loss of creative ability by a few creators, and the majority of people accordingly no longer support and imitate, and the entire society loses its ability to challenge new challenges; the disintegration of civilization lies in the split of the social system and soul. "Historical Research" breaks away from Western centralism and the historical view of linear development of a single history, and has a lofty status in Western historical and philosophical works. \U003Cbr\u002F\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003EFebruary 1956 to August 1957 After retiring, Toynbee and his wife undertook a 17-month global trip to three continents and nearly 20 countries and regions. "From East to West: Toynbee's Global Travels" is his travel diary of this trip. Different from ordinary travel notes, this book is not a continuous account of this trip, but a series of scanned accounts worthy of attention based on Toynbee's unique insights and his profound understanding of world history, geography and religious life. For readers of Toynbee's other series of works, this book provides a fascinating supplement, not only reflecting Toynbee's unique historical wisdom at every turn, but also a precious account of a part of the world in the 1950s. \U003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003EIn Toynbee's view of history, religion occupies a special position. He believed that religion was essential for understanding human nature and correcting human self-centeredness. "A Historian's View of Religion" is Toynbee's work on the relationship between religion and society. It can be said to include all of his religious thoughts. The book is divided into two parts, namely "The Germination of Advanced Religion" and "Religion in the Westernized World". It reveals the important role of religion in world history and the history of civilization from a cultural perspective, and explores the origin, essence and relationship between religion and other ideologies. At the same time, it focuses on reflection on Western culture and believes that the revitalization of "advanced religion" can be used to solve the crisis of Western society. \U003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E "Change and Custom: Challenges Facing Our Times" is Toynbee's work with a strong sense of mission, written in the 1960s. In response to the problems existing in the world at that time, such as the threat of human destruction caused by the arms race, global population surge, religious disputes, and environmental damage caused by over-development, Toynbee started from whether human habits can be changed. Through the analysis and research of past history, he pointed out that, unlike nature, human habits can be changed when faced with inescapable choices. Although the analysis in this book deals with the world of the 1960s, most of the issues mentioned still exist or are even more pressing today. \U003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E "Civilization Stands the Test" is a collection of Toynbee's series of articles about the relationship between civilization and reality in the mid-20th century, which shows his consistent strong concern for the destiny of mankind. If Toynbee believes that human history as a whole, an irreversible movement in time and space, can be understood within a certain limit, then the real world after World War II has become the background for his view of the history of civilization at this moment. In this book, Toynbee's realistic concern and historical philosophy met after World War II, and the result of the challenge and response was the "world government" and "higher religion" that he repeatedly emphasized. He hoped that different human civilizations could shake hands and realize that the future and destiny of mankind must find a suitable way to live in peace, maintain vitality, and continue to develop. His feelings of compassion for mankind are vividly displayed on the page.

On April 16, 2017, Turkey's referendum on constitutional amendments ended. The people agreed to change the prime ministerial system to a presidential system, giving the president greater power, causing an uproar around the world. Why does a country's constitutional reform affect the world? What impact will the political changes in Türkiye have on world politics? The famous historian Norman Stone started writing 1,000 years ago and narrated the vicissitudes of Turkey's past. In a few words, he wrote from the Seljuks in Anatolia in the 11th century to Turkey's application to join the European Union in the 21st century, from the Ottoman Turkish Empire to the Republic of Turkey. He also made an in-depth analysis of the post-World War I Turkey that was full of turmoil and conflicts due to factors such as East and West, religion, tradition, and modernization, and even affected the country's positioning. Only by understanding Turkey's rise and fall, national awakening, religious resistance, etc. Can you understand why Turkey, a country at the junction of Europe and Asia, has become an "Eastern problem" in the past century.

This book describes the glorious but turbulent life of ancient Greece, the origin, growth, maturity and decline of Greek civilization, the subtle but not man-made ups and downs of its complex cultural rise and fall, and the changes in its basic factors. In Western culture, except for machinery, there is almost no modern thing that is not handed down from Greece. However, despite their repeated efforts, the Greeks failed to achieve integrity, unity and peace in their politics. They even fell into the chaos of civil war and class antagonism. They lost their land and destroyed the morale of the people. They finally surrendered to Eastern dictatorship, quietism and mysticism. In the end, they almost took the initiative to welcome the conquering Romans. Through the Romans, the dying ancient Greece passed its science, philosophy, literature, and art to Europeans, becoming the vivid cultural cornerstone of our modern world.

From 1995 to 1997, Kaplan embarked on a western journey from Kansas to the West Coast in his native United States. Through political and cultural perspectives, he discovered a transforming United States in geographical details: This big country is not in decline, but is slowly and irreversibly transforming into a new identity. Kaplan traveled from St. Louis in the center of the United States to Portland in the west, from the Canadian border in the north to the Mexican border in the south. During his travels, Kaplan discovered a new America: an America full of divisions and fractures in terms of race, class, education, and geography. In this America, wealth is increasing rapidly, but the gap between rich and poor is also widening; traditional beliefs have passed away, and new beliefs are only in their infancy. In "Wild Empire: A Journey into America's Future," Kaplan examines the United States with a keen and penetrating eye, interpreting the United States' future through reflections on its past, and ultimately points out that the most successful country in the world has entered the final and highly unknown phase of its history. In this era that is heavily influenced and infiltrated by American culture and values, "Wild Empire" undoubtedly provides an entrance for Chinese readers to "step into" the past and future of the United States. Kaplan's narration of his own journey allows us to be immersed in the scene and understand what has happened and what will happen in this land.

The thickness of the original work is 10%, but the essence is 100% presented! It condenses the three essences of the original work - each chapter contains dramatic turning points, each chapter has unique analysis, and every page is filled with beautiful writing! In 1787, Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" was published. Over the past two hundred years, "The History of Decline and Decline" has become a supreme classic with its three essences: 1. A summary of the great changes in history; 2. An incisive and unique analysis; 3. Beautiful writing. It is these three essences that make it still the supreme classic in the field of literature and history. However, the original work of 5 million words has deterred many readers. To this end, the Essence Edition condenses twelve original works, retaining the three essences of the original works at one-tenth the thickness.

Montefiore, an indispensable historian of our time and author of "Three Thousand Years of Jerusalem", tells the history of 3,000 years of world figures. History is not shaped by a few people, but they have more or less changed the direction of history. They were prophets, kings, queens, poets, artists, philosophers, conquerors, explorers, prostitutes.

Simon Montefiore uses vivid writing, detailed information, and chronological order to tell the lives and anecdotes of more than 100 historical giants, thus forming a world history spanning more than 3,000 years.

In early June 1942, the Japanese army, which was eager to win, suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Midway, and its desire for a quick victory was completely shattered. The Pacific War has since turned into a protracted war of attrition. After the Allied forces sounded the clarion call for counterattack, the beautiful Pacific islands, from the Solomon Islands, the Gilbert Islands to the Marshall Islands, all turned into blood-filled Shura fields. In order to seize these strategic locations, the Allied forces launched a large-scale amphibious landing battle unprecedented in history. In "Rage of Conquest", Ian Toll pointedly pointed out that the United States gradually gained an overwhelming advantage at this stage by virtue of its strong and stable resource supply, military output and logistical support, and by the end of the war it was a sure win. However, Japan's domestic and military forces continue to promote and beautify "Jade Sui", requiring troops and even civilians to fight to the end and die when there is no hope of victory. The result of this is that 1.5 Million Japanese soldiers and civilians will die before the Japanese rulers lose their fighting spirit...

Eastern Europe, from the Danube River Basin to the steppes north of the Black Sea, is the westernmost point reached by the horsewhip of nomadic civilization, and it is the heartland that changed the direction of European history. From 1500 to 1800, Eastern Europe ushered in new changes. Millions of pioneers reclaimed grasslands into cultivated land in blood and tears. It was no longer horses but artillery that determined the outcome of the war. The force that formed the country changed from marauders on horseback to civil servants writing pens.

The borders of modern Eastern Europe were quietly delineated amidst the intrigues and conflicts of the various powers.

This is America's overlooked "sub-revolution." In 1776, in order to resist the British and strive for independence, the thirteen states of the United States formed an alliance. The overthrow of the British colonial rulers in 1783 allowed the United States to win precious independence and freedom. However, at this time, it was still difficult for the United States to become a country worthy of the name. After the victory in the War of Independence, deep divisions between states in the country also emerged. Looking at these local powers that were doing their own thing from the perspective of that time, no one was sure whether there would be a country called "the United States" in the future. In the years after independence, the United States gradually lost control in an atmosphere of victory. No country is willing to pay for the foreign debts owed during the war; countries that disagree with the treaties negotiated with foreign countries refuse to implement them. In terms of international reputation, the United States quickly fell from the revolutionary light of mankind to a country with ruined credibility. In addition, there were differences such as western land interests, slavery, pro-French and pro-British differences, etc., Which pushed the United States to the brink of division in the early days of independence. Some optimistic British politicians even waited for the American states to fight in their nests, and then begged to return to the embrace of the British Empire. In this almost hopeless situation, it was indeed a political miracle that the American Revolution could succeed and establish a solid national foundation. The book "Creating the Republic" will spell out the full picture of this miracle for you: the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention in 1787, the "Federalist Papers", Washington, Madison, the father of the U. S. Constitution, Hamilton, the father of finance... These people and events are remembered because they formed the country and national identity of the United States at that critical moment.
