"Who speaks on behalf of Europe?" "Is the German problem coming again?" "What will Brexit bring?" "Will the EU collapse?" "Where will the United States go?" Under the guidance of such questions, historian Winkler takes readers back to the beginning of the European Union or the founding of the United States to find the source of each current problem buried in historical clues. The West is still a force that cannot be ignored on the world economic and political stage, and understanding Europe requires a deep understanding of its history and thought. Continuing his previous work "A General History of the West", in this book, Winkler profoundly describes the challenges and dilemmas that the West has encountered in recent years, focusing on various major events that have occurred in the West in the past decade.

"The Great Rip" takes the economic crisis that broke out in 1929 as the background and "Roosevelt's New Deal" as the main narrative line, vividly showing the United States from 1929 to 1939, a thrilling decade full of crises and changes. Starting from the Hoover administration's adherence to the old economic system and its clumsy way of handling the new economic situation, which caused the United States to slide into a more terrifying abyss in a nightmare crisis, the author places the emergence of "Roosevelt's New Deal" in the debates and confrontations between various forces, which further demonstrates its inevitability. It can also glimpse some details of American democracy from the side, as well as the change in the mentality of American society in the face of major crises. In the last chapter, the author gives an overview of the bankruptcy of the United States' "isolationist policy" and its new international political participation policy under the cloud of fascist war.

A World History of Nomads (revised Edition)

(japan) Sugiyama Masaaki

201K0

Before the Age of Discovery in the West, Eurasia had always been the main stage of human history. The main theme of the historical development of Eurasia is actually the coexistence, interaction, conflict and integration of nomads and farmers for thousands of years. However, the perspective of Western maritime civilization established since the Age of Discovery and the orthodox view of dynastic history of the Han people have marginalized the nomadic steppe peoples, ignoring the historical fact that nomads once led or triggered many changes in the economy, politics, military, culture and other aspects of Eurasia. Nomads, who once existed as a marginal existence in history, play an active and positive role in this book. Masaaki Sugiyama went beyond the vision centered on Western Europe and China to depict a unique nomadic empire and world history, completely subverting the image of nomads as "barbaric invaders" or "military saboteurs". Therefore, this is a work that breaks the historical perspective of the Central Plains and Western civilization and looks at the Eurasian continent!

"The Record of Panic" is a collection of late essays by Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa, all of which are fragments of "fake diary". It is one of the author's masterpieces. It was a work that had been lost for a long time and was later collected and compiled by many Pessoa research experts. The author's stance changes from time to time in his essays. Sometimes he is a spiritual person, and sometimes he becomes a material person... This is the perseverance in the changes, the similarities in the differences, the firmness in the contradictions, and the clarity in the incomprehensible. It is this kind of spiritual temperament and this kind of breakthrough to the world alone that makes Pessoa praised by contemporary critics as "the core figure of European modernism", "an outstanding classic writer" and the writer "who can best deepen people's hearts".

In 1853, Tsar Nicholas I invaded the Danube Principalities that are now Romania due to religious disputes. Subsequently... The Crimean War, which lasted for 18 months, caused huge human losses, completely rewritten the political landscape of Europe, and profoundly affected the modernization processes of Russia and Turkey. Figgis quotes extensively from Russian, French, British, and Ottoman Empire documents to comprehensively demonstrate how nationalist sentiments, imperial power struggles, and religious conflicts affected countries' involvement in the war. From kings and ministers, reporters and writers reporting on the war, to officers and soldiers on the battlefield, and women and children in the siege, Figes not only restores the panoramic view of the war from multiple perspectives, but also provides a new entrance for today's understanding of the "Eastern Question" in the 19th and 20th centuries, the relationship between Christians and Muslims in the Black Sea region, and the world rift between Russia and the West.
