This book is the first part of the long series "Time Travelers" by French writer Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt. This masterpiece, which the writer spent thirty years gestating, tells the history of mankind in the form of a novel: the protagonist goes through evolution and revolution from prehistory to the present, and the past illuminates the present. The protagonist Norm was born in a lakeside village in the Neolithic Age and grew up surrounded by nature. He encountered the tragedy of the tribe, met the charming woman Nora, and was changed by a famous disaster-the great flood: he gained the ability to live forever. It's a gift and a curse. He is free from human fears: disease, aging, and death; but he is also unable to establish ordinary relationships with people. In order not to be discovered, he has to escape every once in a while. He was forced to become an eternal wanderer, constantly traveling through new places, new languages, and new societies to explore what happened to himself and try to grasp the essence and meaning of life. To tell Nome's adventures is to tell the history of mankind. From the time of the Flood to today, Nome has witnessed and even participated in all the transformations that make us who we are: from hunter-gathering to settlement, from villages to cities, the creation of writing, the birth of class, the beginning of the economy, the construction of religion, the survival of political institutions, technological and scientific inventions, the birth and decadence of art and civilization... And the irreversible damage to the environment caused by human existence.

What brought prosperity to the Umaru Empire was a unique type of rice, Ole rice, which was not only high-yielding but also fearless of pests, so it was also called the "miracle rice." To the surrounding vassal states, Ole rice is a rice that brings joy and sorrow. Although it can fill the stomachs of the people, its seeds must be distributed by the Umaru Empire. One day, Orade rice suddenly encountered a pest called Oyoma. For people who could no longer grow other crops because of Orade rice, this was a life-and-death crisis. At this time, an improved "Rice of Hope" appeared. It was not afraid of Oyoma and could grow in the sea breeze, saving people from the disasters caused by Oyoma. Just as people were cheering, a bigger disaster followed...

Aisha, a girl with a keen sense of smell, discovered the secret of the "Rice of Hope", but she also found herself in danger.

Facing this "rice of salvation", people cried with joy, and the voices of praise spread throughout the empire. Only Ayesha felt vaguely that this kind of rice was a bit scary. Soon, someone brought back a type of locust from the bank of the Shenxiang Praying River that was said to be able to eliminate the Oyoma insect. However, it was discovered that they could multiply their larvae quickly and eat up the Ora rice and all other plants quickly.

I sat on the sofa chair with a headrest and waited while observing the people at the dinner party. I recalled my experience of being close to and alienated from the art world over the past few decades, the various situations of artists, and Joanna's funeral during the day today. In my eyes, they suffered artistic or spiritual collapse decades ago. It can even be said that their entire souls collapsed. All the people in the music room heard me say the words "art world" and "art spirit" as if I were talking, like the Olsbergers, about "artists' dinners". They only paid attention to the sound of these words when I said them, and they had no way of understanding what meaning these words meant to me when I said them.

Amidst the endless guilt and sorrow, Beauvoir recorded the last moments between mother and daughter, interspersed with memories of his mother's life and reflections on the relationship between mother and daughter. In Beauvoir's eyes, the mother is humble yet arrogant, strong yet fragile, sacrificing herself for marriage and family, yet unable to give up her control and invasion of her daughter. She once hated and feared her mother, but now facing this dying old woman in the hospital bed, her heart was filled with compassion and deep love. In this book, she rarely reveals her soft core, but her perspective is still sharp.

Through this work full of pain, tenderness, regret and contradiction, Beauvoir will lead us to re-understand the meaning of aging, death, life and love.

Life is too small to accommodate her. The swan song of a novel by the first talented female writer to be posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize, a painful specimen of women's awakening in the 20th century.

The novel focuses on the marriage and love story of the Dashwood sisters with very different personalities, and presents the intellectual and emotional struggle between women in the process of pursuing their own happiness. The rational and restrained Eleanor and the frank and emotional Marianne drank up the joy and sorrow of love, and their vision of the world became broader and more accessible from the original single perspective. In an era when female writers were still bound by prejudice, Austen anonymously published the book "By A Lady", "I will keep calm and I will be my own lover." She used humor and irony to break the shackles of sentimental literature and reshape modern women's outlook on marriage and life.

For readers who like Defoe's works, this book is worth reading. The work is in English, so English lovers should not miss it. The novel is likely based on records kept by Defoe's uncle, Henry Defoe. In this book, in order to achieve a realistic effect, Defoe took the trouble to describe specific communities, streets, and even which houses were affected by the epidemic in detail. In addition, the work also provides a table of casualty figures and discusses the credibility of various records and anecdotes. Defoe's account, although fictional, is more detailed and systematic. The work was first published in 1722, and its influence is second only to "Robinson Crusoe". Defoe wrote about the occurrence and spread of the plague, the terror and panic it caused, as well as the number of deaths and the situation of escaping the epidemic, as if he was actually there. At that time, the plague was prevalent in Marseille, France, which attracted special attention. It can be said that Defoe's works satisfied the citizens' curiosity about the plague. Defoe had a deep understanding of the characters he described, and he was good at writing about individuals overcoming difficulties in adverse circumstances. His protagonist is intelligent, full of energy, does not believe in destiny, and believes in "common sense." The plot structure leaves no trace of chiseling. Defoe is particularly good at describing the environment with realistic details and fictional situations that make people feel like they are actually there.
