Readers who are interested in ancient travel notes must read this book. In the fourth year of Chunxi reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty (1177), the author sent an envoy from Sichuan to summon him back.

"The first private novel in my life... I want to leave a suicide note to the realm of death where I used to live." The famous work of the Japanese literary wizard Mishima Yukio, a monument to Mishima's youthful passion, caused a huge sensation in the Japanese literary world after its publication, telling the story of Mishima Yukio's growth process in adolescence. "Confessions of a Mask" is a novella published by Yukio Mishima in 1949. It is also Mishima Yukio's famous work. The work has a keen and delicate grasp of the characters' psychology, and is permeated with the author's sensitive traits. His thinking is complicated and detailed, he repeatedly doubts, overthrows and overthrows, and then rebuilds. Twenty-four-year-old Mishima Yukio uses perverted introverted confessions and combines autobiographical plots and stories to intellectually explore his inner world, starting from a kind of social psychological repression to fight against the constraints of traditional order and values. The work first describes "my" birth and family situation, and then introduces readers to "my" strange inner world when I was five years old, and then describes "my" bold psychology in adolescence. "I" felt ashamed of my natural weakness, longed for a strong and wild body, and was determined to carry out spiritual self-training. During the war, "I" approached the opposite sex with the mentality of trying to fall in love, and finally fell in love with my classmate's sister Sonoko, but the relationship ended because I felt that I was not capable. After the war, Sonoko married someone else, but "I" tried to still date her secretly, trying to completely give up the spiritual love of sensuality.

Golding, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, is another masterpiece that explores the darkness of human nature after "Lord of the Flies". The subject matter of the novel focuses on primitive humans, using the perspective of prehistoric Neanderthals to witness the conflict between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens - a profound reflection on the inheritance of human civilization. Nobel Prize winner William Golding considers his most successful work to be even more profound in theme than "Lord of the Flies". The novel tells the story of the arrival of spring, when a small group of primitive Neanderthals returned to their familiar habitat as in previous years. But this year, strange things happened - mysterious sounds and smells, unexplainable acts of violence, and looming, unimaginable creatures hiding behind the leaves. These Neanderthals, their life or death was uncertain, their world hung in the balance. Through their eyes, the story explores the emergence of a new race - ourselves, Homo sapiens - and the catastrophe it brings to ancient races as its dominance continues to strengthen. At the end of the novel, Homo sapiens snatched away a Neanderthal baby, leaving a glimmer of hope that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens once thrived together. The great thing about "The Heirs" is that Golding created a language to express Neanderthals, leading readers to see everything from a Neanderthal perspective, enter the interior of a life, and experience its various senses. At the same time, Golding uses plain, cold and simple language to describe the most solemn cruelty and pain in the world. The progress of human civilization has to pay such a cruel, bloody and moral degradation price.

The world is made up of me, my thoughts, and my feelings; everything else is just fantasy."

You think about them from time to time, and sometimes you become so obsessed with them that you can't think of anything else, and then you just write them out so they don't bother you anymore. --Maugham

The Greek ancestors lived in an era where reality and fantasy could not be distinguished. In that era, every natural phenomenon was a god in human form, and every episode of life could be woven into a myth. As a romantic writer in the 19th century, Hawthorne added the color of the times to the dreams that were both real and illusory. He replaced moral education with humorous ridicule.

"Their thinking points directly to the things themselves" and "We should think like great men and express like ordinary people" ("On Writing and Style"). Readers who have read Schopenhauer's work, whether they agree with Schopenhauer's views or not, will probably have no objection to this: Schopenhauer always practices his own views and expresses his thoughts objectively and clearly.

This book selects 36 polemical essays from Friedrich Nietzsche's many important works. The book opens with three classic articles by Nietzsche discussing educational issues: "On the Future of Our Educational Institutions", "Humanistic Education Begins with Strict Language Training" and "Three Measures of University Education". The rest of the book contains 33 exquisite expositions selected from important works such as "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", "Twilight of the Idols" and "Look, This Man". In the process of criticizing Christianity, Nietzsche focused on criticizing "pity". Nietzsche believes that great acts of kindness will not make people grateful, but will lead to revenge; if this small favor has not been forgotten, it will become a worm that is always gnawing; loving one's neighbor is a pathological good and the morality of the weak; the kindness of the strong should inspire people's unique personality of self-respect and self-improvement, and promote "healthy selfishness" in people. And "healthy selfishness" is the clean selfishness that overflows from the powerful soul. It takes all things into itself and then makes them ebb from the individual soul as a gift of love. Therefore, Nietzsche advocates that human beings should love distant people, love people in the future, love the beginning, and love ghosts.

The central question this book answers is how group decisions fail, and what happens when group decisions fail. In extreme cases, not only the group will go crazy, but the entire country will go crazy. "The Madness of Crowds" tells us that now we should explore the roots of fanaticism. Why did the Islamic State rise? How do religious beliefs shape human behavior? What influences U. S. Policy in the Middle East? What does doomsdayism have to do with the political polarization of American society? Why would a group of people chase a ridiculously overpriced investment from time to time? Why do people prefer stories to data and facts? Why are new concepts such as Bitcoin and the Metaverse making people crazy again?

Bernstein combines advances in information technology, finance, and neuroscience to shed new light on the mass illusion. Beginning with the conquest of the Jews and ending with the rise of the Islamic State in the Middle East. In between, the book details various financial and religious fanaticisms over 3,000 years of human history, as well as the development of related neuroscience.

In the midsummer Kyoto that turned into a flaming hell, the only air conditioner in the student apartment failed. The cause was that the monster's friend Ozu let water enter the remote control last night. How am I going to survive the rest of the heat? Just as I was discussing countermeasures with Akashi, the iceberg beauty whom I had a crush on, a rustic male student appeared in front of us and said that he had traveled through a time machine from the future twenty-five years later. So, a genius idea flashed in my mind - why not use a time machine to go back to yesterday and retrieve the remote control that has not been damaged? Facing Ozu and others who unscrupulously changed the world of yesterday, I had a premonition that the world was about to be destroyed.

"The Plague" is a fable novel that describes a plague disaster that occurred in a small town called Oran in North Africa, and the process of people's resistance to the plague. Camus uses a third-person perspective throughout the novel to depict various social pictures of life and death struggles during the epidemic. He ends the novel with a short-lived victory, clarifying that the pathological social phenomenon has led to the long-term presence of plague in human life. The exclamation issued by the work is not an accusation but a beautiful expectation, a metaphor for people's choices and struggles in the face of absurd situations. Camus deeply hopes that social viruses like the plague can disappear forever, freeing mankind from these senseless disasters. True redemption is not victory after a fight, but the ability to find the strength to live and peace of mind in suffering.

Dogs, horses, cows, pigs, donkeys, goats, sheep, camels, these 8 animals are no stranger to us. They often appear around us, in various works, and even on our dining tables. But did you know that they are not only human food, tools and cute pets, but also have a profound impact on the entire human history. Around 15,000 BC, some wolves that often scavenged for leftovers around human settlements integrated deeply into human society and became the first animals domesticated by humans-dogs. Over the next 10,000 years, pigs, goats, sheep, cattle, donkeys, horses and camels entered human society. But in industrial society, everything changed. Except for dogs, which continue to be favored by humans, donkeys and camels have long been forgotten, horses linger in niche sports, and pigs, cattle, and sheep are only regarded as meat for large-scale production. Living creatures have turned into cold numbers, and the once intimate relationships have become callous, mercenary, and insensitive. This book combines the research results of history, archaeology, anthropology, climatology, biology and other disciplines, breaks the anthropocentric narrative, and presents a grand historical picture of "humans domesticated animals, and animals changed humans".
