Person has been living in memories, insisting on staying in the same hotel every time he goes to Switzerland; at the same time, he tries his best to escape from memories, because memories can only bring pain. Nabokov writes about this ambivalence vividly, exploring the interplay between memories and reality with a light, transparent tone. The transparent world surrounding Person is an existence different from reality, and it is the silent history he carries.

"Laura's Archetype" provides a refreshing and richly detailed description of death and the afterlife, a subject that interested Nabokov since childhood. The publishing process of "Laura's Prototype" was controversial. Nabokov once asked that it be burned, but his son Dmitry finally decided to publish it. "The Original of Laura" is a key to the labyrinth of Nabokov's writing.

On the European continent, there has long been a confrontational relationship between France and Germany. Russia was growing in power, the Ottoman Empire was on the verge of disintegration, and the world outside of Europe seemed to be falling apart. Although Berlin was called the Athens of the world at that time, Germany was panicked by Russia's rapid development. Germany, which competed with Britain for global supremacy, established a completely unnecessary navy in the early 20th century that was directed at British ports. It was in this relationship between countries that the Sarajevo incident started the First World War. Europe in 1914 was like a colossus that everyone admired. Four years later, the continent faced catastrophic fragmentation from economy to society, from life to dreams. In this book, "A Brief History of World War I: The Illusion of Empire," Norman Stone changed the historical professional writing method that was mainly based on analysis to narrative. With novel and unique insights, he concisely and clearly outlines "World War I", the most important and complex topic of the twentieth century.
