The Age of Empire is a story of expansion and death filled with contradictions, where unparalleled peace creates unparalleled war. The hope of progress hides an increasingly uneasy fear, and the effortless conquest breeds the unstoppable destruction. It seems to have broken off the past, but is directly connected to the present. We are no longer in it, but we don't know how much it is still in us. When a group of advanced countries carve up the backward world, the economic position shifts from free competition of small businesses to protectionist conglomerates, and the political motivation moves from the middle-class elite to the masses. The labor movement bursts out from the economic boom, and the bourgeoisie falls from wealth. Nationalism moves to the right waving the national flag. New women break out of darkness and appear in history. Popular art completes the cultural revolution that the avant-garde aims to promote. The scientific revolution disintegrates the certain and stable truth of the universe. The ancient empire set off a huge wave of revolution, and the new empire was shrouded in the haze of war.

Power and love are always difficult to have at the same time, but truth and death go hand in hand - in the spring of 1502, Arthur Tudor, who was only sixteen years old, died unexpectedly. The young crown prince who had the same name as the ancient British king passed away before he could realize his ideals of governing the country. The king and his wife lost their beloved son, and his young widow Catherine had to wait for the king's brother to come of age to remarry him... In the autumn of 1514, a newborn baby stopped breathing in his infancy. Queen Catherine suffered the loss of another son, and the Tudor dynasty still had not yet welcomed the expected heir. Only the last of the Plantagenets, Margaret Pole, might know why. That was a curse, derived from the power of the water goddess Melusina-those who murder the princes in the tower will also be cut off from their own escape. The book "The King's Curse" tells the story of the troubled life of Margaret Pole, a descendant of Plantagenet. Her noble birth was the reason why she was deposed by the Tudor family. She fell into abject poverty and lived in hardship for a time. After Henry VIII succeeded to the throne, she regained the favor of the royal family and her status rose. She was even later named Countess of Salisbury. Queen Catherine's inability to give birth to an heir becomes a dark cloud hanging over the Tudor royal family. Margaret remembers a secret curse passed down in the family: the descendants of anyone who murders the Plantagenet Prince in the Tower will suffer the same fate. As Henry fell out with the queen, Margaret, who sided with Catherine, once again lost the king's trust, and her fate became precarious... Readers who want to understand the history of the Tudor Dynasty can feel the intensity of the various struggles surrounding the throne of England at that time from the book.

And can Anne's cousin, Catherine Howard, who is only fourteen years old, recreate the glory of the Boleyn family? The legacy of the Boleyns is power, wealth, and the seed of tragedy...

"Aspects of the Novel" is a series of lectures given by Forster in Cambridge in 1927. It was widely praised in the history of literature and had an important influence on later literary creation and literary criticism.

The author uses his own writing as a starting point and conducts in-depth analysis against famous works in literary history, including some sharp comments on writers such as Fitzgerald and Henry James. In this series of lectures, Forster talked about the relationship between novels and reality, proposing the view that novels are both larger than reality and smaller than reality; he proposed the views of "flat characters" and "round characters", which became terms often used by later critics; he proposed that "the function of the novelist is to reveal the hidden life from its roots". The discussion of narrative angles and artistic expressions such as patterns and rhythms is particularly pioneering and inspiring.

Omu wrote this experience into a best-selling book, where suppressed feelings were rekindled, spreading unpredictable fires in new relationships, and eventually led to a conflagration. Different from the simple content of the early works, "Beauty and Sorrow" expresses various clues and emotions such as first love, unethical love, same-sex love, teenage revenge, etc. It expresses deeper psychology and the deeper secrets of human nature, and reflects Kawabata's more advanced narrative skills in the late period. It is more mature, has more breadth and depth, and is more readable. It is praised by Mishima Yukio as the "methodological work" that best reflects Kawabata's writing ability.

A Brief History of Humanity: from Animals to God

100,000 years ago, there were at least 6 different human species on the earth, but today only 1 remains, Homo sapiens. What happened to cause the rest of the human species to disappear? What will happen to us Homo sapiens? The famous Israeli historian Yuval Harari pioneered the combination of history and science to tell the complete story of the history of Homo sapiens from the Big Bang to the present. Professor Yuval Harari believes that in the long evolutionary history of Homo sapiens from an inconspicuous animal to the ruler of the earth, three key revolutions took place: the cognitive revolution, the agricultural revolution and the scientific revolution. The cognitive revolution gave Homo sapiens the ability to create imaginary orders and fictional stories, completely surpassing other species; the agricultural revolution allowed Homo sapiens to move from a hunter-gatherer life to a settled life, with revolutionary changes in lifestyle and social organization; the scientific revolution allowed Homo sapiens to become a god-like "creator" and gain dominance over the entire earth. Professor Yuval Harari also reminded us to look forward, because in the past few decades, we have begun to violate the law of natural selection, which has been the law of life for the past 4 billion years. Today, we have not only gained the ability to design the world around us, but also gained the ability to design ourselves. Where will this lead us, and what kind of human beings do we want to be? It's time to redefine "human". "A Brief History of Mankind" is a global bestseller that abandons the old interpretive framework and proposes subversive ideas, giving us a new understanding of our own existence.

Theatre 1 A certain man's light and beguiling voice came, "You broke into my bath, how do you think I should give you a way to die?" "Sir Messenger, what's your favorite way to die?" A certain Qing was sweating on his back and couldn't help but swallowed. "What I like the most... Is of course letting people die under the thing that scares them the most. It's much more interesting than pulling bones, pulling tendons, melting souls, and throwing them into the blood pool. I wonder what the little fox is most afraid of?" Mou Qing was stunned for a moment, then she smiled widely, "I am most afraid of dying under the peonies." "Peony flower?" The man said softly, seeming a little confused, "Why?" "Well, if you die under the peonies, you can be a romantic ghost. I'm afraid of becoming that romantic ghost, and I'm afraid of being crushed underneath." "..." Theater 2 One day, a certain dragon cried sadly: "Master, I haven't seen Xiao Qi for a month." A certain man raised his eyebrows calmly: "Huh?" A certain dragon cried again: "I saw Xiaoqi today and she said she wanted to move out." A certain man said slightly different: "Huh?" A certain dragon took a deep breath and clenched his fist angrily: "Xiao Qi said that he would move to the theater just opened by the princess." A certain man's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, "Open a theater? Let's go, I want to see which one of them is prettier than me!" A certain Long Mo: "..." Is this the point?
