Dogs, horses, cows, pigs, donkeys, goats, sheep, camels, these 8 animals are no stranger to us. They often appear around us, in various works, and even on our dining tables. But did you know that they are not only human food, tools and cute pets, but also have a profound impact on the entire human history. Around 15,000 BC, some wolves that often scavenged for leftovers around human settlements integrated deeply into human society and became the first animals domesticated by humans-dogs. Over the next 10,000 years, pigs, goats, sheep, cattle, donkeys, horses and camels entered human society. But in industrial society, everything changed. Except for dogs, which continue to be favored by humans, donkeys and camels have long been forgotten, horses linger in niche sports, and pigs, cattle, and sheep are only regarded as meat for large-scale production. Living creatures have turned into cold numbers, and the once intimate relationships have become callous, mercenary, and insensitive. This book combines the research results of history, archaeology, anthropology, climatology, biology and other disciplines, breaks the anthropocentric narrative, and presents a grand historical picture of "humans domesticated animals, and animals changed humans".

In "The Present World", the author traces the life experience of a grain of sand, observes the records left by a few clouds in history and artistic works, and traces the footprints of paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin's mule team in the Chinese desert. The form of expression is also unusual. The scenes described in the book are distant and unfamiliar, and the narrative tone used is simple and self-possessed, with almost no personal emotions. Looking from the present to the past, from China to Israel, from birth to death, we ask: Why do flaws and beauty coexist? If there are miracles, why are there tragedies? What is time and where is eternity? When we wake up and face the deep shore of eternal time, when darkness covers the far slopes of time, this is the time to abandon everything - such as our reason and will; then, it is time for us to turn to work hard to get home. Except for thoughts, except for the firm change of heart, except for the slow thinking of where to find love and who to love, the rest are just short stories and stories that have nothing to do with this moment.

Sakhalin's Travels (translation Classic)

268K0

This book is the only non-fiction work in the life of the great Russian writer Chekhov. However, "Travel to Sakhalin" occupies an irreplaceable position in Chekhov's literary legacy. It can even be called a manifesto of Chekhov's world view and literary practice throughout his life. The Sakhalin region has long been a barren land in Russia. Most of the people living here are hard labor exiles. The living conditions here are extremely difficult. However, what is more terrifying than the harsh natural environment is the human factor: the prevalence of bureaucracy, which destroys human dignity and kindness. Chekhov's records present these bloody facts to every reader, but the value of "Sakhalin's Travels" does not lie in its truth, but in the "human conscience" that shines between the lines. The ultimate purpose of Chekhov's writing is not to criticize and expose, but to protect everyone and fight against "violence and hypocrisy."

This is a sincere writing. The author wrote this autobiographical novel based on his personal experience, revealing in detail the growth and love experience of a person who is incompatible with the normal world, as well as their life situation. Any reader who has been hurt by being different while growing up can relate. Hall was the first British writer to dare to write about the lives of sexual minorities, something no one had done before her. This book caused huge controversy in Britain and the United States as soon as it was published, and first-class novelists such as Eliot, Forster, and Woolf unanimously supported it. Its social significance far exceeds the significance of the work itself, and it is regarded as a must-read classic of gay literature. The work's exploration of love itself, questioning of the world, and doubts about self-existence are worthy of our reflection and doubt on the world we are accustomed to. Is tradition correct? Doesn't it exist if you haven't seen it?
