If you do this, beauty will be invisible to you. --Liu Zongyue.

This book records what Haruki Murakami saw, heard and thought during his travels in Greece and Turkey. The author presents the cultural landscapes of Greece and Türkiye from a unique perspective. If what you feel in a Greek village is religion, then what you feel in Türkiye is more politics.

Murakami's experience and thinking about the two during this trip were integrated into his later masterpiece "The Journey of Strange Birds". It can be said that travel not only produced travel notes, but also indirectly gave birth to his novels. It's just that the Murakami in the novel is the shadowy Murakami "inside the door", and the Murakami during the journey is the real Murakami "outside the door".

This book is a study by the famous sinologist Nicolas Standaert on the spread of "Di Bao" in Europe during the Qing Dynasty. The sources of existing Dibao documents dating back to 1800 are mainly European-language documents compiled by Europeans living in China in the early Qing Dynasty. After being compiled in China, these documents were sent to Europe in the form of personal letters, reports, and translations, and most of them were included in anthologies about Chinese culture. On the one hand, they record the actual appearance, specifications, format, content and usage of Di Bao in the early Qing Dynasty, and cover information not recorded in Chinese historical materials; on the other hand, they also show how Europeans read Di Bao in China and how they, as global agents, introduced China to Europe, thereby allowing Di Bao to join the global information network. The author selects representative cases from Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties to analyze this process in detail, confirming that the Enlightenment's important views on China's political system and governance were based on texts directly related to Di Bao, indicating that Di Bao and the ideas it carried entered the global public domain much earlier than we thought.

The two giant ships of Pearl Harbor soared into flames, and the unsinkable legend disappeared into the towering black smoke. The battle situation in these six months not only determined the direction of the Pacific War, but also affected the entire situation of World War II. If the balance of history moves even a little bit, the world we know will be completely different. "The Burning Ocean" writes about the gripping initial stage of the Pacific War. From it, we can not only appreciate the strategizing behind Roosevelt and Churchill's chatting and laughing, Yamamoto Isoroku's arrogant gamble, but also the despair of the pilots who narrowly escaped death when faced with the relics of their fallen comrades, and the despair of the fleet commander when he received unfavorable information just after issuing an order. Along with the ups and downs of the characters in the book, history is no longer out of reach. "The Fury of Conquest: 1942-1944, from the Battle of Guadalcanal to the Battle of the Philippine Sea": In early June 1942, the Japanese army, eager to win, suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Midway.

"Religious Reform" is the sixth volume of the "The Story of Civilization" series of "Utopia Classics Hall". Abstain from entertainment, burn dissidents, and attack literature and art... The Reformation denounced the joy of the Renaissance, believed that worldly achievements and joys were of no benefit, and that life was nothing but a vale of tears, and called sinners to convert to faith, repent and pray. It was almost medieval reaction. Yet, despite all its intolerance, the Religious Revolution made a contribution to the Enlightenment: it undermined the authority of dogma and allowed for vigorous debate among different voices. In these disputes, in attack and defense, all orders and authorities weakened, and a hundred years after Luther cried out for faith, Francis Bacon declared that knowledge is power.

Socrates' life was turbulent. He was born in a ghetto but grew up to be a thinker and a fighter.

The Enlightenment liberated the human heart and mind, and its results are still with us today.

More than a century after the end of World War I, "The Flood" looks back on this important historical moment and attempts to answer from a new perspective: why the international order after World War I failed to prevent the outbreak of World War II, and why the League of Nations lost its due role.

Work protects people from the three great evils: boredom, sin, and want. How could I connect the act of making money with a sense of accomplishment in a work that was both painfully sad and ecstatic? What kind of success do I hope to achieve? How should I face my life? In this book, the British genius Alain de Botton examines the role of work, career, and personal hobbies in life with the perspective of a philosopher, and explores the little-known mysteries of various professions and the fun brought about by all kinds of incredible hobbies with the vivid writing style of a novelist and the sensitivity of a scholar. De Botton's new book may be seen as an "intertext" with the philosophical novel "Candide" (1759) by the 18th-century Enlightenment writer Voltaire. According to Voltaire, the world is far from perfect, and work can save people from three major evils: boredom, sin and lack. His protagonist Conrad said the truth recognized by many people: "It is more important to plant our garden." The years pass by in a hurry, like water, like shuttles, like floating clouds on the top of green mountains. 250 Years later, de Botton also has a deep affection for work, but his perspective has changed slightly, focusing more on the "joy and sorrow" brought by work. In his writing, although work and "sideline" hobbies are extremely challenging, have setbacks and hardships, they are the most enjoyable, lasting and beneficial fun in life. "Work can divert our attention, give us a beautiful bubble, let us be in it, and make life perfect." Work is life.

At the end of World War II, the U. S. Military had achieved successive victories in the Pacific battlefield and was making great strides towards the Japanese mainland. As victory approaches, a series of questions are also placed in front of the U. S. Government: Will Japan surrender without attacking the Japanese mainland? Once the US military lands on the Japanese mainland, will the Japanese resist desperately and cause huge casualties to the US military? After occupying Japan, how to transform Japanese society and whether to retain the emperor... Therefore, understanding the Japanese thinking and behavioral patterns has become a top priority for the US government. In June of the same year, the author of this book was ordered to study Japan from a cultural perspective in order to find the answer. "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" is this answer sheet. It is actually a research report submitted to the U. S. Government by the author after analyzing Japanese culture. Facts have proved that the views in the book had a great impact on future U. S. Relations and policies toward Japan, and achieved good results. Therefore, although this book has only a few hundred thousand words, "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" is a veritable masterpiece, whether in terms of its impact on a country's destiny or in terms of its academic achievements. "Chrysanthemum" and "sword" respectively represent the two mentalities of Japanese people when facing ideals and reality, and are also portrayals of two different living conditions. The author analyzes different fields of Japanese society from the political structure, social class division, entertainment, human society, and even children's education. Not only is the theory clear, but the writing is also fluent and beautiful.
