This is a true story in human history, a story about how plague shaped our cities and even the world today. In the 19th century, during the era of Queen Victoria in England, London, as a modern metropolis, suffered from disease pandemics every few years, with each outbreak claiming thousands of lives. Doctor John Snow conducted a series of studies and discovered and proved that cholera exists in water. When no one believed it, the Reverend Henry Whitehead helped Snow plot the number of people who drew water to drink versus the number of people who did not draw water to drink on the same graph and label the number of deaths in each neighborhood. It was found that the further away from the water pump, the fewer deaths occurred. It turned out that the water pump was the source of pollution. This great discovery saved the city of London from the last cholera outbreak in Britain. This neighborhood map has deservedly become one of the most influential maps in history, as important as Columbus's early maps that led navigators around the world. It created a new way of life, and people began to build sewer systems, create urban public facilities, and ensure clean water for the benefit of everyone. And this period of history that ushered in a new era of medicine is also deeply recorded in the immortal monument of the progress of human civilization.

"Farming Poem" describes the miserable conditions of the soldiers and the people during the great defeat of the French army in the spring of 1940, the tragedy that occurred to an aristocratic family during the French Revolution in 1789, and the feelings of a young American who participated in the Battle of Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. The closely intertwined themes of war and revolution make the novel rich in epic color. The novel is named after the ancient Roman poet Virgil's long poem "Farming Poem" because the protagonist of the novel never forgets his homeland, spring sowing, summer working, autumn harvesting and winter, no matter in the stormy waves of the Great Revolution or the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke in the north-south war. Tibetan farming also embodies the philosophy contained in Virgil's poems; things in the world are complex and ever-changing, and as long as the four seasons are constantly changing and orderly, people can only enjoy fun in pastoral farming and gain peace and comfort in nature.

It's hard to feel happy, but luckily there's Woody Allen. Here are eighteen humorous and rhapsodic "literary talk shows" that poke fun at marriage, middle class, anxiety, Hollywood, beauty standards, death and other topics. These anhedonic Allen-esque protagonists show you what they see as a ridiculous and pathetic world, and although they understand Dostoevsky, they cannot handle the absurdity of everyday life. The last sixty-page autobiographical novel, "Growing Up in Manhattan," is a mixture of romance, sentimentality, and confusion. It is another paradoxical mystery in a world "specifically designed to keep him confused for the rest of his life." Now more than ever, we need clowns who can make people laugh, and here comes Woody Allen. "If you want to read casually and be amused, and take a brief break from the bad reality, then this book is a dessert, like my previous works." - Woody Allen
