A

205K0

"The Construction of the Heartland" uses rich historical materials from multiple countries (including China, Japan, the United States, folk and official historical materials), and based on previous research, explores the social, economic and ecological changes in the North China hinterland from 1853 to 1937 in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China and their causes. In the book, the author Pomeranz describes the social situation in the inland areas of North China, especially Henan, Shandong and other areas at that time, including a comprehensive description of the local finance, farming, transportation, taxation conditions and farmers' resistance struggles, and also compares the development of the inland and coastal areas of North China at that time. He believes that the development of social ecology and natural ecology in inland North China showed signs of decline during this period. Pomeranz not only painted a vivid and magnificent ecological portrait of the North China inland, but also used sociological theory, historical geography, social regional theory and other multiple perspectives to analyze the reasons for the decline of the North China inland. He pointed out that under the background of the country withdrawing from economic and policy support for local society and coastal areas, at this time, the inland of North China was encountering war and natural disasters, and decline was an inevitable result. China's hinterland is not inherently "backward"; this situation is more caused by the country and the current situation.

The mortal Beren fell in love with Lúthien, who was born in the immortal elven clan. However, their love was initially unable to get the approval of Lúthien's father, the Elf King Thingol. In order to make Beren quit, Thingol put forward the conditions for marrying Lúthien: Beren must complete a seemingly hopeless task. This mission is the core of the legend, and it prompted Beren and Lúthien to accomplish a supreme heroic feat together: to recapture a Silmarillion from the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, who was more powerful and terrifying than Sauron in later generations. The legend of Beren and Lúthien is one of the most important stories in Middle-earth, the magnificent world created by Professor J. R. R. Tolkien.

He wrote: "She was the source of the story that became the main part of The Silmarillion... But the story went off the rails, I was left behind, and I could not plead before the unforgiving Mandos." In Beren and Luthien, Christopher Tolkien made a new The attempt is to extract the story from the general background and use a series of manuscripts written by the author at different stages of creation to sort out and compare the development of the characters and plots, thereby showing readers the full evolution of the story of Beren and Lúthien over the course of decades.

"Submarine" is a novel by Japanese writer Kotaro Isaka. It tells a story about youth and hope. Although it is a little cruel, it still makes people feel extremely warm. Isaka Kotaro said: "I want to write stories that cannot be truly solved. For example, a car accident, the perpetrator who suddenly takes away an innocent life is hateful, but maybe through media reports, we will learn about the various difficulties involved and gradually feel confused. "Submarine" is the subject I gave myself." Synopsis of the story of "Submarine": My job is to contact minors who have violated the law and judge whether to impose criminal sanctions. This time, I encountered a tricky thing. A young man named Yuma Tanaoka drove without a license and killed a pedestrian. A few days later, a young man came to the door. It was he who was distracted while driving, rushed onto the sidewalk, and took the life of Bangaoka's friend. On the day when Bangaoka caused the car accident, this young man had appeared at the scene of the accident. It's like we are playing mahjong with an invisible opponent all the time.

People with good luck will always draw good cards, while people with bad luck can only win a small amount of money even if they draw by themselves. Even if they complain that they are not lucky and can no longer play cards, they still have to continue playing.

"The Complete Sherlock Holmes" includes "A Study in Scarlet: The Sign of Four", "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes", "The Return of Sherlock Holmes", "The Hound of the Baskervilles: The Uncanny Valley", "Last Regards" and "The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes", including 4 novels and 56 short stories created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The four novels include "A Study in Scarlet", which established Sherlock Holmes' "basic deduction" reasoning status, to "The Hound of the Baskervilles", which is full of adventure and allowed Holmes and Dr. Watson to narrowly escape death; from "The Sign of Four", which is full of human ugliness, to the lamentable "Uncanny Valley". The 56 short stories show more of Holmes' rich detective experience: the debut and final confrontation of his old enemy Moriarty; the witty response of the only woman he admired, Irene Adler; the story of his determination to retire but had to come back because of his strong sense of mission; and his battles of wits with politicians and criminals.
