The future is not all as far away as science fiction. Every second is a part of the future and the starting point of the distant future. The choices we make at the moment determine what the future will look like. Edgar Allan Poe wrote many works that were defined as "science fiction" by later generations, but perhaps in this genius's mind, those wild futures were just small echoes of the choices made by mankind at this moment.

Notes from the Underground (golden Classic of Russian Literature)

G

97K0

"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?

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.

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. Out of defense of the classical humanistic tradition, he refused to use any modern disciplinary paradigm to systematize his thoughts. 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.

Osamu Dazai's entire confession in the last 500 days of his life, including the goodbyes he never finished saying; an analysis of the nihility and despair of the post-war era, facing the abyss of human nature and the desire for survival; a book of the soul about degradation, struggle and redemption, seeing fragility, loneliness and the eternal longing for love and recognition. This book is a collection of works by the Japanese literary giant Dazai Osamu. It contains a total of 18 works. It is the last two years of Osamu Dazai's life that concentrated his brilliance. These include many representative works such as "The Unworthy of the World" and "Setting Sun", as well as the posthumous work "Goodbye". Together, these articles describe the decadent atmosphere of postwar Japanese society and the plight of individual spirits. Osamu Dazai used his trademark self-deprecating and desperate style to create a series of images of "marginal people" who were sunk in alcohol, drugs and emotions. They either struggle to survive in the decline of aristocratic families, or explore the meaning of existence in self-exile, or they wander painfully between family and morality. The lines are full of doubts about traditional morality, confusion about being a human being, and a deep desire for love and understanding. This collection of works is not only the core microcosm of Osamu Dazai's literary world, but also a mirror that reflects the loneliness and emptiness common to mankind. With its ultimate truth and beauty, it faces the complexity and fragility of life.

"Memoirs of the Roman Civil War" is a memoir written by Caesar after the civil war. Although the civil war ended with Pompey's defeat, the republican forces opposing Caesar remained strong after the war. In order to declare the inevitability of his victory over Pompey and at the same time avoid arousing fierce resistance from the opponents, Caesar used the third person "he" in most cases in the book to show that Caesar was objective rather than subjective. Unfortunately, this book does not stitch up the irreconcilable contradictions between republicans and monarchists, slavery and feudalism. In the end, Caesar was assassinated, and a new civil war broke out again... This civil war was a key battle in Rome's transformation from slavery to feudalism, and republic to monarchy, and had a profound impact on the historical trend of the entire Europe.
