A dark family history full of revenge and deceit, repression and sadness, a dense forest intertwined with countless plots; a classic translation that has been out of print for many years, and precious original illustrations to reproduce Dickens's great classic. "The Little Society," published in 1857, is one of Dickens's greatest late works. The novel is set in Marshall West Gaol, a famous debtor's prison in London during the Victorian period. It tells the bitter and bumpy growth process of the "prison daughter" Little Dolly, and reveals the dark family history of Clennan, the hero, full of revenge and deceit, oppression and sadness. The story and characters are so complex that critics call it a "dense forest intertwined with countless plots".

"On Sea Power" is Alfred Thayer Mahan's work on the history of naval warfare and the theory of sea power. In this book, Mahan epoch-makingly proposed the concept of "sea power", elevating the control of the ocean to a strategic level that determines the rise and fall of a country. He believed that sea power and the rise and fall of a country share weal and woe, and maritime interests were crucial to the strength of a country. At the same time, he advocated vigorously developing the navy, developing the merchant fleet, developing maritime trade, and building naval bases and commercial ports. This book interprets the view of "sea power supremacy" from six perspectives: geographical location, natural structure, national territory, population, national characteristics, and government nature. As a masterpiece of sea power, this book also has literary qualities. It objectively and vividly reproduces the process of previous naval battles, expresses praise for those outstanding naval generals without revealing anything, and elaborates on the role of sea power in the development of history, especially the development of world history from the geographical discovery in 1660 to the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1784. It also discusses some necessary factors for sea power. The book attracted attention as soon as it was published. The United States, Japan, Germany, the former Soviet Union and other countries have successively used it as a guide for formulating national development strategies. Since Mahan's death, two world wars and changes in the world's strategic pattern have fully verified the view of sea power theory.

The poem cleverly shows the children's pure psychology and unique and lively way of thinking to the world by describing their games and fun. What Tagore wanted to eulogize in his collection of poems was the precious nature of human life: innocence. In addition to depicting the innocence of children, the poem also praises maternal love.
