More than a century after the end of World War I, "The Flood" looks back on this important historical moment and attempts to answer from a new perspective: why the international order after World War I failed to prevent the outbreak of World War II, and why the League of Nations lost its due role. From America's entry into the war to the global financial crisis, Adam Tooze charts the process by which America's economic and military power reshaped the world. By tracing how nations adapted to the new American-centered landscape and slid toward fascism, "The Flood" is an account of the origins of today's world order that will fundamentally change our view of the First World War.

The Complete Collection of Cao Cao

Cao Cao (AD 155--220), named Mengde, was a native of Qiao County, Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui). He was an outstanding politician and military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, and he also had profound attainments in literature. His thoughts had a great influence on later generations and are worth studying. Since there is currently a lack of a good quality compilation of Cao Cao's works on the market, we have reprinted this collection of Cao Cao. This collection was compiled and printed in 1959. It is based on Ding Fubao's Collection of Famous Masters of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties and the Collection of Emperor Wu of Wei. For the poems and essays, I have used Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Song Dynasty Music Chronicles, Yuefu Poetry Collection and various other books for proofreading, and the sources have been indicated.

"The Brothers Karamazov" is a novel written by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky and one of his masterpieces. The book is adapted from a real patricide case, describing the sharp conflict between the old Karamazov and his three sons, as well as the court trial of the patricide case. The whole novel has two levels: on the surface, it is a case of patricide, and the victim's sons are suspected of conspiracy to some extent; but on a deeper level, it is a drama about the human spirit, telling a moral battle between lust, faith, reason and free will. The work shows an intricate tragic theme of society, family, morality and human nature.

The Insulted and Harmed Person

279K0

With a desolate and tragic tone, the novel unfolds the two main lines of the story, one is the tragic fate of Neli's family, and the other is the misfortune of Natasha's family. The culprit of the destruction of these two families is Duke Valkovsky. He abducted Neli's mother, defrauded Neli's grandfather of all the family property, and finally caused three generations of Neli's family to die out of hatred. He also falsely accused Natasha's father and bankrupted his family. Natasha was also deceived by the Duke's son. The writer angrily reveals the dark reality of society and expresses deep sympathy for the "insulted and damaged" people at the bottom of society. But the novel is full of dark, tragic, and groaning tones. While maintaining the style of his works in the 1840s, in this novel, he began to preach about docility, patience, forgiveness, and voluntary suffering that cannot cleanse the soul. Christian humanism, the dominant idea in Dostoevsky's creation, began to take shape.
