Cardiac surgeons have the mysterious power to open chests, perform blood transfusions, and bring the dead back to life, but they are also living people who experience core emotions that all humans share-most of the time. A freak sports accident shaped Westaby into one of the world's leading cardiac surgeons. "I went from a withered violet to a carefree, bold and conceited bastard. I became immune to stress and became a habitual risk-taker, always hungry for excitement, attracting high-risk cases to me like a magnet, and reveling in the competition with death." And on another cold winter day, the rescue and birth of a child "helped me change my view of life, and also shaped me into a better person." An excellent surgeon - I have become a much better person than before, and I have once again understood that love can bring joy and joy." Through Westaby's confession and self-reflection, readers will see the adventures of life, the joys and sorrows of love, and the entire gripping story of modern cardiac surgery - "They are gradually unfolding in my life, and I am proud to be a part of it."

This book is Mr. Wu Hong's first recollection of 76 years of personal history. He breaks through the general memoir-style writing and presents to readers neither the real past itself nor the complete fiction of a novel, but a creative reconstruction and imagination of experience, a more free and open "memory writing". He uses fantasy techniques to present the throbbing and nightmare of encountering the flying apsara statue in the Kizil Grottoes mural after surviving a desperate situation; and using a calm and restrained style, he reveals the intricate, pious and peaceful connection between individuals, national treasures, cultural relics, and traditional culture through the theft and recovery of the "Cicada Crown Bodhisattva" statue in the Northern Dynasties. He writes about his memories of life in the ancient city of Beijing when he was a teenager, and also reveals his peeping in books and personal stories with his nanny that were either private or frustrating and embarrassing. Under the clear blue sky, on the shores of Lake Michigan, which is green and purple, he reunited with himself who had regained his study time after the turbulent era, and realized the pursuit of his teachers, friends, and old friends for academic transcendence of politics and personal integrity and independence. Current experiences collide with past memories. "At that moment, we felt that we were all survivors of a madhouse, but many people were not as lucky as we were."

Yoshihiko Amino was one of the most original historians in Japan in the 20th century, and he single-handedly created a new situation in the study of Japanese medieval history. In this book, he shows the changes in Japan's country and society before modern times from many aspects such as the popularization of writing, currency circulation, class and discrimination, women's social status, the origin of the emperor and Japan's national title, and the differences in culture and life in different regions. He breaks the existing common sense and rethinks and interprets Japanese history. In his writings, medieval Japan was not an isolated island country, and its residents were not just farmers who worked on the land. Nor were they just warriors with strong armor, nobles vying for power, and emperors of the eternal line. In sharp contrast is the dynamic Japanese history driven by trade, circulation and competition. A large number of non-agricultural populations are active on these stages: mountain people and sea people who live on mountains, rivers and seas, various craftsmen who form guilds, various sects of New Buddhism that are deeply involved in social changes, women who enjoy a certain degree of freedom and actively participate in social activities, and fully participate in social activities. Merchants who make use of the land and sea transportation network, geishas, beggars, and witches who run around begging for a living, various "non-humans" with "filth" on their hands, lords and bureaucrats who work hard to run estates and territories... Together with the farmers, they constantly adapt and transform the environment in order to survive and develop, and create an economy, politics, society and culture with their own characteristics.

This is the eve of the 22nd century: the dead send postcards from heaven, evangelists use trance to gain opportunities for scientific breakthroughs, genetically engineered vampires can solve problems that basic humans are helpless to solve, and soldiers carry zombie switches that turn off self-awareness during battle... And all of this is under the surveillance of an alien who refuses to show up. In a world where biology has turned into computational science, one of the findings of field biologist Daniel Brux has become a terrorist's killing tool. For this reason, he lives deep in the Oregon desert, refusing to associate with the human society that is dividing into different subspecies. But one night he woke up to find himself in the eye of a storm. In the pursuit and survival of unknown reasons, he was coerced onto a spaceship, the Crown of Thorns, bound for the center of the solar system. He traveled with the vampire Valerie who escaped from the laboratory, Colonel Jim who was looking for the whereabouts of his son, and a group of monks who claimed to have received evolutionary enlightenment. At the end of the pilgrimage, Brux will face the biggest evolutionary breakpoint since mankind began to think.

"Rome Diaries" is the latest collection of essays written in Italian by the famous American novelist and Pulitzer Prize winner Giupa Lahiri. There are twenty-three articles in total, recording her long process of learning to express herself in another language and finding a "new voice." This is not a boring language learning notebook, but a novelist's spiritual revelation that opens up new areas - language, culture, and self-awareness. At a certain moment, the creator feels the need to change his path: this is a crazy impulse, which may mean giving up his original characteristics and symbols as an expresser; this is also a bold leap, and what he gains is richer possibilities in creation and life.

In France in the early 1960s, "I" met Philip Dean, a wandering Yale University dropout, a "living idol" in Paris. "I" and Dean drove a Dracchi antique sports car for fun, until Dean met the French girl Anne-Marie, the object of a fiery and burning fantasy, and thus began a love story full of sensual charm. "I" follows Dean and Anne-Marie's romance between voyeuristic fragments and imagination, entering the dizzying depths of desire and emotion like the reader's accomplice. What is love beyond the short time and everything attached to it? Is it merely an artistic conception, an illusion described by others as impossible, created just to somehow understand the coming together and separation in life? A celebrated masterpiece by Paris Review Lifetime Achievement Award winner James Salt, "A Game and a Diversion sets a new standard for literature's primary tool: imagination. A tragic novel about a French love affair that is actually an ambitious and tortuous exploration of the nature and meaning of storytelling itself, and the underlying reasons why we need to create romance." (Sarah Hall)

Euripides was an ancient Greek tragedian who had a great influence on the development of European drama in later generations. He brought the daily lives of ordinary people to the stage. His works presented distinct social issues, created some important images of ordinary people, and also showed profound psychological descriptions.

A world of hotter temperatures, more floods and droughts, and more disasters is approaching. We are in a new geological epoch-the Anthropocene. Humans have not only changed the natural environment on the surface, but also affected oceans, forests, rivers, and the terrain of more than half of the earth's surface from the inside out. We even genetically change the types of plants and animals. Humanity is getting stronger and stronger, but losing control on more levels. We'll read about the most cutting-edge, wildest plans to combat global warming: launching tiny diamonds or other particles into the stratosphere-"like sprinkling the world with pixie dust"-to simulate what would happen after a volcanic eruption, using reflective particles to reduce the temperature of the sun as it reaches the ground. Solar geoengineering works quickly, but it also comes with unknown side effects. What researchers are sure of is that this will change the look of the sky, and the new "sky blue" will be white. This time, Colbert will examine how humans, sometimes bravely and sometimes foolishly, change nature in order to control it, how they destroy within a few decades things that took millions of years to create, and how they try to undo the damage they have caused by interfering with nature.
