Don't worry, at Clarkson's Farm, ideas come as fast as beer. In the new year, the "British Idea King" will use wood to make cricket bats and walking sticks, and he is planning to enter the wood processing industry. He was brave enough to have a lot of money, and even when more than a thousand bars closed down every year, he bought one to satisfy himself. Milk and beef are unprofitable, so how about using healing as a gimmick and setting up a fee-based program for city dwellers to embrace cows? ... "The first year I farmed, I made 114 pounds. When I came up with this year's numbers, 114 looked like a dream."

Captain Ahab is obsessed with hunting down Moby Dick, the white whale who bit off one of his legs. His paranoia is not only the epitome of human desire for conquest, but also a crazy allegory of industrial civilization's declaration of war on nature. From the ports of New England to the vast Pacific Ocean, the whaling ship "Pecod" has become a floating laboratory of civilization: the crew members with different skin colors, beliefs, and traumas collided in the closed cabin with the undercurrent of colonization, belief, and class. Whale oil, as the "black gold" of the industrial age, quietly connected human greed with ecological catastrophe. With a prophetic touch, Melville shaped the white whale into multiple metaphors - it is the divine incarnation of nature, the abyss projection of unknown destiny, and the ultimate mirror image of human arrogance. When Ahab and the white whale died together, this tragedy was not only the decline of individual destiny, but also foreshadowed the eternal dilemma of the relationship between modern civilization and nature.

"Notes from the Underground" was a turning point in Dostoevsky's creation. He penetrated and sublimated from his early immersion in the human compassion and psychological care of small people, and became a philosophical thinker who foresees human tragedy. Through this novella, he "seems" to tell us the most lacking thing at the time but the most precious thing in the world - personal character, and raised a long list of questions surrounding this central theme. The novel talks about the "individual" versus the group, and the process from the group's blind obedience to the laws of nature to the rebirth of belief in the awakening of individual self-awareness. It is expressed through the literary image created by Dostoevsky, the "basement man," who symbolizes a man on the margins of civilization who has retreated to the corner of his heart. He "consciously" buried himself in the basement of his heart, and his relationship with the group was one of ideological dialectics and the other of social quarrels. The novel is divided into two contrasting parts. The author is proud to say that this is similar to musical variations, and the two complement each other. The author tries to put the entire era, especially the negative characteristics, into this character image, and compare and synthesize a unique character of the era. If we repeatedly chew on these lies that are sometimes funny and sometimes shocking, we may have a new understanding of the source of power that stirs up human souls and renovates social life. For example, the basement man's last question: Which one is better? Is it cheap happiness or noble pain?

He plays with the society of the entire era, and also fights with his inner self, sincerely exposing his own emptiness and patheticness. The author uses the image of a "contemporary hero" to reflect many bad habits of society throughout the era, and synthesizes a sharp but touching spiritual outlook. This image is extremely modern and even transcends time and space, making us living today realize that the unknown side of our hearts is responding stupidly when reading. "Contemporary Heroes" is a novel that explores the soul. It is a collection of travel notes, diaries and confessions. It contains five interrelated novels - "Bella", "Maxim Maximich", "Taman", "Princess Merry" and "The Fatalist", as well as two prefaces. The stories are intertwined and narrated by three narrators, integrating into a unique story feast. It created a new situation in the genre of Russian novels, enriched the depth of psychological analysis, influenced and created subsequent writers such as Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov.

In the fictitious Daxia Dynasty, from 1205 to 1290, there were no handsome men and beautiful women traveling through polyamorous romances. There were only thrilling power struggles within the royal family, and the difficult respite of the lower class people under feudal oppression. Li Heyong hid the prince, but deliberately allowed party strife on the grounds that he had no children. The prince Li Shanyu grew up difficultly in the undercurrent.

By showing the cruel power struggle within the Li family, this book profoundly exposes the decadence and darkness of feudal society, and takes you to witness the true history behind the rise and fall of the feudal dynasty.

Most of the great achievements in the history of world civilization occurred on the edges of the Eurasian continent, and in the middle of this vast continent is a barbaric land separated from civilization. Attila, Genghis Khan and Tamerlane... These names from this land still echo in the dark side of the history of civilization. Have the grassland people brought only disaster and destruction to world history? In order to answer this question, René Gruset collected historical events related to the grassland from written historical materials scattered in various civilized worlds in Eurasia, supplemented by archaeological data, restored the history of the grassland from about 1000 BC to 1759, and told the origin, development and demise of each grassland regime. In the author's writing, the invaders from the grassland are no longer a disaster sent by God, but a periodic interaction between the grassland world and the civilized world.

As one of the most "anachronistic" scholars of the nineteenth century, Burckhardt's ideological theme was the diagnosis of European "modernity" and its attendant crisis of civilization.

Instead, he adopted a subtle way of speaking and integrated his own thinking into his works, lectures, and thousands of letters left during his lifetime. This book selects 181 of Burckhardt's most representative letters, including 9 diaries from his stay in London in 1879, which provides a panoramic view of Burckhardt's life and thinking from the age of 20 to the eve of his death.
