Geography is Destiny: Britain and the World, 10,000 Years of History (ian Morris History of Civilization Series)

I

359K0

In this book, the well-known historian Ian Morris relies on a large historical perspective and a global perspective to clearly point out that what determines the rise and fall of Britain is its geographical elements, and the resulting issues related to identity, mobility, prosperity, security and sovereignty. The connection of sea routes promoted the exchanges and development between Britain and the European continent, and also opened up the grievances and grievances between the two sides that lasted for more than a thousand years. Whether to join the European Union for its own security and prosperity, or to safeguard sovereignty and people's identity and insist on independent development, has been a puzzle that has plagued this island for thousands of years. In the struggle and choice, Britain experienced the triangular trade, the establishment of the United Kingdom, the colonial world, and the industrial revolution... This small country gradually moved to the center of the world stage and realized its ambition to dominate the world. But in modern times, the Irish War of Independence, the depletion of two world wars, the wavering on whether to "Brexit", the rise of Eastern power... The empire, beleaguered internally and externally, became increasingly powerless, and gradually lost its way forward. The world stage and the core of development have shifted from the West to Asia, and the problems that have plagued Britain for more than a thousand years have quietly changed. Whether to firmly follow the United States, open up channels of cooperation with China, or become a hub connecting the United States, Europe and China has become a question that Britain in the 21st century has to think about. Looking back at the world, geographical relations have become the key to cooperation and conflict among countries. Perhaps we can also get a glimpse of China's next step on the world stage in this book.

At the end of the 20th century, the core area of ​​the original Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania had been divided into four modern countries named after their ethnic groups: Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania and Belarus. How did an early national concept evolve into four modern national concepts? Vilnius, Vilnia, Vilna, in this book, these subtly different names referring to the same city appear at both ends of the same sentence in a seemingly calm way. They are the background notes of the story told in this book, indicating a set of memories, ideas and discourses about "who am I", "where is my country" and "what is a nation". Spanning four centuries and four countries, by focusing on this land with a complex background of mixed ethnic groups, an extremely diverse political system, and a land that has been torn apart and even destroyed several times, Snyder attempts to reveal to us the mystery of the transformation of national concepts, tracing how concepts are interpreted, distorted, invented and abused, and how they cause deep suffering in the process of mutual derivation with more complex external forces, but also glow with new brilliance. More importantly, the author attempts to find answers to the ultimate question about the path to nationhood: How can we avoid the painful experiences along the way?

G

Ackroyd's "Venice: The Marketplace of the Islands of Dusk" is an interpretation of Venice in the same vein as his acclaimed "London". Like "London," "Venice: The Marketplace of the Islands of Dusk" is a fluid writing adventure that revolves around several themes. Each chapter is based on historical facts and background. The portraits of Venice written by Peter Ackroyd have a unique novel-like charm and a poetic quality. Colorful and intoxicating. You couldn't ask for a better guide - reading "Venice: The Marketplace of the Islands of Dusk" is in itself a glorious journey to the ultimate city. Peter Ackroyd's narrative not only depicts objective facts, but is also rich in romantic legend, creating a vivid atmosphere of canals, bridges, squares in the sun, churches and markets, festivals and flowers. He takes us through the city's history, from the first refugees sailing into the mists of the lagoon in the fourth century, through the rise of a great commercial state, the founding of a trading empire, the wars against Napoleon, and today's tourist invasions. The book contains a vast world: the merchants on the Rialto Bridge, the Jews in the ghetto; the glassmakers on Murano; the masks of the Carnival and the miserable settlements of lepers; the artists Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto, and Tiepolo. And there are the lingering whispers of Venice-the dark corners and dead-ends, imprisonment and punishment, wars and sieges, gossip and seduction.

A Kingdom Divided: John, the Barons, and Magna Carta

I

156K01

The year 1215 holds an extraordinary position in Britain's millennium history. At that time, John, the "King of Soft Swords," was busy appeasing the restless barons. The Magna Carta, which was of great significance to the world's legal and political systems, was born in such an environment and would have a profound impact on British democratic politics. At the same time, also in 1215, King John was once in a situation of internal and external difficulties. In the competition with the Capetian dynasty on the European continent, it gradually lost its advantage. A little further east, Innocent III made decisions at the Fourth Lateran Council that changed the fate of millions. Author Dan Jones once wrote the best-selling book "The Plantagenets". This time, he chose the unique year of 1215 to show readers every detail of this turbulent country. In addition to describing the magnificent political struggle, Jones also takes readers closer to the daily life of England in the 13th century: from the royal family to the clothing and diet of civilians; social order and legal justice; animal species and nobles who are keen on hunting; the living conditions of women and children, etc. There's even the strange mantras and quirks of King John and his family. In short, the book paints a vivid picture of England in this turning point and turbulent year.

European civilization in the 27 years from 1789 to 1815 belonged to Napoleon's century. Napoleon was an unprecedented dictator, but paradoxically, he devoted his life to seeking order for France after the liberal riots. After his death, he once again became a son of the revolution, an enemy of absolutism and aristocracy, a symbol of the riots, and a moderate spokesman who constantly demanded freedom. Hegel believed that he was a world force with the meaning of transforming fragmentation into wholeness and chaos into profoundness. This zeitgeist is necessary to maintain order and end individualism, abuse of freedom and broken rule. From this perspective, Napoleon was a progressive force. Europe moved forward for half a century under his 15-year rule.

"Renovation" is the final volume of Ackroyd's "Six Parts of History of England". With the death of Queen Victoria and the tragic situation of the British army in the Second Boer War, the theory of the decline of the British Empire began to become rampant: it paid a heavy price for its strategic mistakes in the two world wars, and lost its colonies in the wave of national independence. The British Empire seemed to be in decline. But as the 20th century progressed, Britain relied on its own strength to complete the rise of the working class, the popularization of women's suffrage, and the construction of the welfare state. It also witnessed the prosperity of the Bloomsbury Group, the popularity of the Beatles, and the influx of colonial people. This ancient country, which has experienced rise and fall, will glow with new vitality in the new order of the 21st century.

When Lessing looked back at the 20th century and her own life, she saw a series of large-scale mass events, a dance of emotions, and a flurry of fanatical partisan enthusiasm. The constant occurrence of these things prevents us from thinking rationally. In this book, Lessing addresses the major question we as humans currently face: How often do we fall under the sway of our savage instincts? How can advances in psychology and technology be used by experts to turn them into tricks on us? How did we become prisoners of group consciousness, repeating the history of party unity and opposition? By sharing her life experience, political life, ideological process, and keen observation of society, combined with the latest psychological experiments and interesting historical anecdotes, Lessing drew a portrait of this divided era and also provided us with a new possibility of examining the world and ourselves.

Benjamin once said that all great literary works are exceptions, and Marcel Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" is among the most unfathomable of these exceptions. This seven-volume masterpiece is known as "the most beautiful text and the most difficult to read novel". It is a symbol of French literature. It has an incredible synthesis of its own, which combines the cohesion of a mystic, the skill of a master of prose, the edge of a satirist, the learned memory of a scholar and the self-awareness of a paranoid in an autobiographical work, and it is written with great interest. It seems that there has never been a work with such rich and complex beauty, but at the same time so clear and elegant.
