Just after experiencing the ecstasy of love, her father suddenly passed away due to illness. The author Schulz felt disoriented and anxious. She avoided work, books, time, happiness, and reality. Like most people, she was obsessed with sadness and could not extricate herself, so she began to seek solace in poetry, which then extended to the exploration of gains and losses in life. In the end, she calmly accepted the reality: life is always counterproductive - sometimes you collapse, sometimes you recover; sometimes you are busy, sometimes boring; sometimes scary, sometimes absurd; sometimes funny, sometimes uplifting. It is impossible to escape this feeling of constant fusion. Schulz is known in the industry as "one of the greatest writers of our time." She once published an article in The New Yorker about an imminent major earthquake in the Pacific Northwest, for which she won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for feature writing, marking the first time that the Pulitzer Prize has been awarded to magazine media. In this book, Schulz uses her extensive knowledge and curiosity to wander between philosophy and intimacy, transforming a story about love and death into an exploration of chance and fate, sadness and happiness. Her elegant writing touches the most subtle truth deep in the human heart, which makes people suddenly enlightened after reading it. This is a warm, healing and rational philosophy of life. It is not a simple emotional catharsis, but a rational approach to the gains and losses of life with curiosity and insight from the perspective of different disciplines such as history, poetry, literature, psychology, etc. This is the best gift for people who are sad and worried.

"Flowers of Evil" is a masterpiece of French poet Baudelaire, which established his position in the history of French and even world poetry. This classic poem shows evil and the relationship between good and evil surrounding evil through poetry. Baudelaire broke away from the view of good and evil for thousands of years and looked at evil from a dialectical point of view. He believed that evil has a dual nature. It has an evil side and exudes a special kind of beauty. On the one hand, it corrodes and infringes on human beings, and on the other hand, it is full of challenge and resistance spirit, inspiring people to fight against their own laziness and social injustice. Therefore, Baudelaire both hates and praises evil, fears and yearns for it. He lives in evil; but he strives not to be swallowed up by evil. Instead, he faces evil with a critical eye, dissects evil, and refines the flowers of evil.

Four Monarchs

143K0

King Henry VIII of England, King Francois I of France, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire, these four great monarchs were born in the same decade (1491-1500). They were all important in the history of their respective countries, and in this book, John Julius Norwich zooms in to show how the feud between these four monarchs laid the foundation for modern Europe, against the backdrop of the Renaissance and Reformation. Individually they were different, Henry had six wives and Charles was ascetic; together they dominated the world stage. This book describes the meeting of the Golden Sea that nearly bankrupted France and Britain, tells the story of Suleiman's pile of two thousand enemy heads after the Battle of Mohács, mentions that Anne Boleyn's left hand has six fingers that pious people are afraid of, and mentions the true story of the Maltese Falcon. These stories make "The Four Monarchs" an extremely vivid and interesting historical work.

The Qing Empire Entering the Global Public Sight: China Di Bao in European Documents

W

254K0

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 Burning Ocean: 1941-1942, from the Assault on Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway": In the early morning of December 7, 1941, the residents of Honolulu, who were used to military exercises, woke up to the noisy sound of artillery fire as usual. They did not realize that a magnificent symphony that staked the fate of the country had already been played... The arrogant Japan declared an undeclared war on the United States. 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. The 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.

"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.

In the modern era, different countries have adopted written laws as political tools to promote change. There are profound historical connections behind this trend. From a unique perspective, this book traces transcontinental wars such as the Seven Years' War in the modern era, reviews the legislative activities of Haiti, the United States, France, Russia, Japan and other countries, analyzes the interaction between military pressure and rights-related legislation during this period, and shows the popularity of the printing and publishing industries and the development of long-distance transportation. How development can promote the spread of written laws in different countries and continents, promote the development of rights and political changes; the author also points out that under the trend of development, written laws will also become a tool to exclude the rights of women and colonial residents, and some non-Western countries draw on written laws to consolidate national identity and resist Western colonial expansion. It can be said that the formation of the modern world is a historical process in which countries create written laws and promote the development of rights and national transformation.
