"In Praise of Idleness" is a collection of essays by Nobel Prize winner Russell. There are 14 articles in total, including work, education, society, civilization, how to obtain happiness, etc. It integrates perspectives from philosophy and psychology, economics, science and history. Russell accurately predicted the "involution" problem of modern society a hundred years ago: as technology develops, people fall into more intense competition and longer working hours. This book boldly challenges the "hardcore work theory": the belief that work is a virtue is causing a lot of harm in the modern world, and the path to happiness and prosperity lies in the organized reduction of work. The ethics of work are the ethics of slaves, and the modern world does not need slaves. Work only 4 hours a day and everything will be fine! True idleness is not about idleness, but about being freed from the pressure of work, shifting the direction of efforts from "making a living" to "life itself", and pursuing those things that truly define civilization and happiness - art, love, knowledge, leisure and exploration of the world.

Europe is a vast territory with numerous countries, numerous ethnic groups and diverse religions. As the source of Western civilization, it has shaped the spiritual world of Westerners with faith and rationality, and has also caused drastic changes in the world with technology.

Colonial competition among European countries intensified, nation-states emerged one after another, the authority of the Roman Catholic Church declined, the Glorious Revolution broke out, mercantilism became popular, the guns rang out in Lexington in the United States, the French Revolution broke out, science and technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and the bourgeoisie entered the stage of history... Carlton Hayes, a well-known American historian, tried to organically combine the social and political development of Europe from the 16th century to the early 19th century, using social and economic factors to assist in explaining political facts, thereby helping people "understand ourselves, our kind, and the various problems and prospects of mankind."

This book is a collection of novels by the Japanese writer Kyoka Izumi. It includes five representative works: "The Holy Monk of Kono", "The Sleepy Watcher", "Surgery Room", "The Legend of Pipa" and "The Love of Yushima". It was translated by the famous translator Wen Jieruo. Izumi Kyoka's writing style is pure and brilliant, the content is profound and realistic, and the cruel reality is revealed in the dreamlike description. For example, "Surgery" uses unexpected dramatic plots to show the struggle of lovers in love against feudal arranged marriages. "Yushima Love" uses the description of the short life of the geisha Tokichi to reflect the miserable life of the people at the bottom, especially women, under the rule of feudal nobles. The novel's writing is compact and the plot is bizarre. While reading, one can speculate about the origin of ghosts, estimate the elasticity of human nature, and rejoice in one's own mediocrity, accompanied by Izumi Kyoka's clear Japanese voice.
