The Complete Collection of Maugham's Short Stories (7 Volumes in Total)

Anthony Burgess once said, "Maugham's real talents are all in the short stories he wrote. They are the best language I have ever read." Compared with longer stories, short stories may be what Maugham really loves to write, and they are also what he is most comfortable in writing, so people call him "the British Maupassant". In 1951, Maugham compiled 91 of his own short stories into the three-volume "Collected Short Stories" and personally wrote the preface for each volume. In 1963, the British Penguin Publishing Company republished it in four volumes. Since then, this version has been reprinted many times, translated into various languages, and circulated around the world. This set of "The Complete Collection of Somerset Maugham's Short Stories" (7 volumes) has been translated based on this. It is the first time in China that all the short stories of this great writer have been completely released, including "Rain", "The Lion's Coat", "The Man with the Scar", "Footprints in the Jungle", "The British Agent", "The Gluttonous Man" and "Portrait of a Gentleman".

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been warmly welcomed by people since its publication, and many printed editions have emerged one after another. The earliest extant edition is the engraving in the Renwu year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. This version is recognized as the closest to the original. However, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been widely circulated due to the extensive tampering by Mao Lun and Mao Zonggang since the early Qing Dynasty. Jiajing Renwu was originally ignored by the world. This makes people sigh with regret. You know, after Mao and his son's wanton transformation. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has changed beyond recognition: many characters have been masked, the storyline is getting further and further away from historical facts, and the ideological tendency is also very different from Luo Guanzhong's original intention of creation. Now, the Jiajing Renwu version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will show us its original style, providing us with new choices and a new reading experience.

Mediterranean Naval War Trilogy (set of 3 Volumes)

The "Mediterranean Naval War Trilogy" is an important work by the famous Japanese non-fiction historical writer Shiono Nanao. It tells the story of two heterogeneous civilizations, Christianity and Islam, using the Mediterranean as the war stage. They fought against each other for belief, land and trade control, and ultimately changed the world structure and the direction of human civilization. The three wars - the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the attack and defense of Rhodes in 1522, and the Naval Battle of Lepanto in 1571. "The Fall of Constantinople" tells the story of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's capture of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, in 1453. The aging civilization was defeated by the emerging civilization. Constantinople was located at the intersection of the East and the West, and was a battleground for the military strategists of that era. After this battle, the shining pearl on the Eurasian continent changed hands, ushering in the prelude to the changes of the times. "The Battle of Rhodes" tells the story of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's attack on Rhodes in 1522, the stronghold of the Knights of St. John in the Mediterranean and the frontier against the pagans. It records the last glory of the dying European knight class. In the face of the Turkish army, a declining religious group fought bravely and left a magnificent mark in history. Even though it was defeated, it was glorious. "The Battle of Lepanto" tells the story of a battle that took place at the Cape of Lepanto between the Ottoman Turkish Empire Navy and the Holy Alliance's combined fleet composed of Venice, Spain and the Holy See in 1571. The combined fleet won a great victory, but the fruits of victory were soon wiped out by the dismal dissolution of the Holy Alliance. These three "wars to divide the world" were an important turning point in the development of human civilization and a key singularity in the historical process. In the blood and fire, the European Christian civilization and the Islamic civilization in Central Asia collided with dazzling sparks. Since then, the power of Christianity has gradually declined, and the Islamic civilization has gradually taken control of the Mediterranean world and embarked on the journey of hegemony on the historical stage.
