A milestone in the history of military theory and a military history classic that explains the truth of three thousand years of war. "A Brief History of Three Thousand Years of War in the West" is a classic work by the British military theorist Liddell Hart. Liddell Hart conducted a detailed study of more than 280 famous battle cases in Western military history from the Greco-Roman era to World War II, and restored the ingenious strategies involved. Through research, the author summarized the concept of "indirect route" that had a significant impact on modern military theory, and proposed that the indirect route is the most effective military strategic model in modern military theory; on this basis, he also constructed a brand-new strategic theoretical system. In addition, the author was the first to think and study the grand strategy and tactics of guerrilla warfare in the atomic age.

It is a panoramic documentary of the naval battles of World War II. At the same time, Professor Paul Kennedy continued the method in his book "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers", combining the narration of historical events with strategic analysis. From multiple perspectives such as economy, military, technology, geopolitics, strategic thinking, political decision-making, etc., He took stock of the strengths and weaknesses of the navies of the six countries, and analyzed in detail the reasons for the ups and downs of the navies of the six countries, especially the rapid rise of the U. S. Navy. The naval battles of World War II led to the rise of U. S. Maritime hegemony and established the global order for decades after the war. This new work by Professor Kennedy provides us with a powerful help in understanding this order in depth!

All she can do is refuse and escape. And he doesn't understand these!

"On Sea Power" is Alfred Thayer Mahan's work on the history of naval warfare and the theory of sea power. In this book, Mahan epoch-makingly proposed the concept of "sea power", elevating the control of the ocean to a strategic level that determines the rise and fall of a country. He believed that sea power and the rise and fall of a country share weal and woe, and maritime interests were crucial to the strength of a country. At the same time, he advocated vigorously developing the navy, developing the merchant fleet, developing maritime trade, and building naval bases and commercial ports. This book interprets the view of "sea power supremacy" from six perspectives: geographical location, natural structure, national territory, population, national characteristics, and government nature. As a masterpiece of sea power, this book also has literary qualities. It objectively and vividly reproduces the process of previous naval battles, expresses praise for those outstanding naval generals without revealing anything, and elaborates on the role of sea power in the development of history, especially the development of world history from the geographical discovery in 1660 to the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1784. It also discusses some necessary factors for sea power. The book attracted attention as soon as it was published. The United States, Japan, Germany, the former Soviet Union and other countries have successively used it as a guide for formulating national development strategies. Since Mahan's death, two world wars and changes in the world's strategic pattern have fully verified the view of sea power theory.

Fu Lei: "I occasionally read the biography of Beethoven, and after reading it I couldn't help crying. I felt like I was illuminated by a divine light, and I suddenly gained the power of new life. I suddenly cheered up like a miracle. This is a major event in my spiritual life." "Celebrity Biography" includes three heroic biographies written by Romain Rolland: "The Biography of Beethoven", "The Biography of Michelangelo" and "The Biography of Tolstoy". The three people in the biography, one is a musician, one is a sculptor and painter, and the other is a novelist, each has his own garden. The three biographies all focus on recording the great genius who dedicated his life to creating immortal masterpieces that can express truth, goodness and beauty on the journey of life's hardships and hardships. The reason why they can persist in their arduous journey depends entirely on their love and confidence in mankind. Romain Rolland called these three great geniuses "heroes".

Whenever you feel down, watch "John Christopher"! Nobel Prize in Literature classic masterpiece! Romain Rolland took 20 years to write it, and Fu Lei translated it twice and revised it six times, which took ten years. It is recognized as a superior standard for translation. Romain Rolland: "In this chaotic era of endless disasters, I hope that Christophe will become a strong and loyal friend, so that everyone can have the joy of life and love in their hearts, so that everyone can live and love regardless of everything!" Romain Rolland personally ordered four volumes in 1921. The first volume includes the life of Christophe as a boy (Dawn, Morning, Boy), describing the awakening of his senses and emotions. The second volume (Resistance, Festival) is written about Christophe's naive, arbitrary, extreme, and rampant crusade against the social and artistic lies of the time. The third volume (Antoinette, Indoors, Girlfriends) contrasts with the passion and hatred of the previous volume. It is a gentle and quiet atmosphere, a lament for friendship and pure love. The fourth volume (The Burning Bush, Fudan) is about the great difficulties in the middle of life. Almost everything is about to be destroyed, but the result still tends to a clear and lofty state, revealing the dawn of another world.

"The Life of Michelangelo" is one of Romain Rolland's "Celebrity Trilogy". It was created in the early 20th century and is also one of Fu Lei's classic translations. Michelangelo had the power to influence an era. Before him, the artistic sky in Florence was dull and lacked vitality. His appearance blew away the dark clouds hanging over it like a sudden storm. After him, Michelangelo's style influenced artists for almost three centuries. In "The Biography of Michelangelo (Essence)" written by Romain Rolland and translated by Fu Lei, the author highly praised Michelangelo's artistic achievements and analyzed his inner world, thus revealing to readers a Michelangelo who was both ordinary and extraordinary, with unparalleled artistic talent and creativity.

"Childhood" is the first of a trilogy of autobiographical novels written by Gorky based on his own experiences (the other two are "In the World" and "My University"). It tells the childhood life of Alyosha (Gorky's nickname) from the age of three to ten, vividly reproduces the living conditions of the lower class people in the former Soviet Union in the 1870s and 1980s, and writes about Gorky's understanding of suffering and unique insights into social life. There is an endless desire and strength in the words. "Childhood" (Illustrated Collector's Edition) will include nearly a hundred exquisite original Russian illustrations, striving to be presented to readers with exquisite binding.

In 1916, Gorky published "In the World" in "Chronicle" magazine. The story describes that after the death of his mother, his bankrupt grandfather drove Alyosha out of the house. He joined society and came to the so-called "human world". In order to survive, Alyosha worked everywhere to make a living, working as a draftsman's apprentice, a dishwasher on a ship, and an apprentice in an icon workshop. He came into contact with all kinds of people at the bottom of society. During his difficult life, he read all the books he could find, hoping to find answers to life from books. Not only did he gain comfort and inspiration, but he also realized that books are a powerful ideological weapon for a better future. Facing complex social problems, he was troubled and hesitant, and wanted to rely on knowledge and science to get out of the predicament, so he left his hometown and went to Kazan.

In this book, Professor Paul Kennedy has begun to use the research methods he later used in his book "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers". He combines historical narrative with strategic analysis to provide an innovative explanation of the rise and fall of British maritime hegemony. He believed that Britain's acquisition of world hegemony not only relied on sea power, but also relied on the combination of sea power and land power. This was the case both in the Elizabethan era and in the Napoleonic era. . He also viewed sea power more rationally, believing that after entering the 20th century, the importance of sea power has begun to decline. Only countries with both land and sea power can become a new generation of hegemonic countries. No country that once held world hegemony can retain its hegemony forever. The sun never sets on an empire that has long since set. But looking back at the ups and downs of British maritime hegemony over more than 400 years may help us gain insight into the accelerated evolution of the current world structure!

In "The Race for Wealth," a historical masterpiece that integrates military, technology, and society, William McNeil is committed to exploring the ups and downs of mankind in the past millennium, and tracing our original development path, allowing us to see clearly how the world has step by step reached the terrible dilemma we have to face today. This book first starts with the use of bronze weapons and armor in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC, and then talks about the changes in weapons in 1800 BC and the emergence of professional armies in 1000 BC. Then it is divided into ten chapters and focuses on describing the industrial progress, weapons manufacturing, government management, and social order evolution of the world's major countries in the East and West after 1000 AD, the improvement of European war business and war skills, the pressure brought by violent bureaucratization, the impact of the French political revolution and the British Industrial Revolution on the military, and a brief introduction to the world wars of the 20th century, especially the U. S.-Soviet arms race and planned economy since 1945. The core argument of this book is that the worldwide commercial transformation that began in the 11th century resulted in military operations becoming increasingly subject to the dictates of market forces and the dictates of rulers. McNeil believes that it is only in our era that planned economies began to replace the manipulation of large-scale human activities by market forces. This book directly confronts the major issues facing the world since 1000 AD. The discoveries, hypotheses and extensive knowledge contained in it are enough to make readers re-examine our era and provide us with solid evidence for wiser decisions in the future.
