333K0

"On War" is hailed as a classic of modern Western military theory. It played a major role in the formation and development of modern Western military thought and is hailed as one of the 100 books that influenced the course of history. In the book, the author reveals the subordinate nature of war to politics, points out the role of human factors, especially spiritual power, explains the historical trend of the transformation of the nature of war into popular war, explores the dialectical relationship between strategy and tactics, offense and defense, and the purpose and means of war, and puts forward theories such as concentrating superior forces to annihilate the enemy. "War is a tool of politics; war inevitably has political characteristics... War by its very nature is politics itself, and politics is represented here by the 'sword', but that does not stop thinking according to its own laws." Regarding Clausewitz's argument, Lenin once gave a very high evaluation and called Clausewitz "a very famous writer of war philosophy and war history."

My name is Grace. He is a revered storm singer who can withstand storms in people's eyes. I felt the storm. This feeling pressed against the top of my skull, as if it was distorting my dreams in the dark. Today, I came to Kingston. Just now, the people in Kingston City were shocked when they saw us. The souls of the dead mingled with the crowd of spectators. Their lips moved, but no sound came out. How can we deny the abominable motive of the Aylan Kingdom in attacking the Rainier Kingdom? Whenever I think of the soul engine in the basement of the sanatorium, I feel a tremor in my heart. This cruel war, for every drop of blood shed by the soldiers on this battlefield, the country of Aylan cannot escape the blame. And I am a wizard from the country of Aylan.

"Sen no Rikyu: The Posthumous Writings of Honkakubo" is one of the representative works of the late Japanese writer Yasu Inoue. The novel is based on a famous event at the end of the Warring States Period in Japan: Sen no Rikyu, a tea sage, was killed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. As Toyotomi Hideyoshi's tea head, Sen no Rikyu's death has always been a mystery. How Rikyu angered Hideyoshi and was actually ordered to commit seppuku by the person he had been serving for so long has been a topic of discussion among historians and history buffs for hundreds of years, as well as a source of inspiration for novelists. Most novelists explain Rikyu's seppuku incident from various aspects such as historical background, interpersonal relationships, conspiracies and intrigues. There has never been a shortage of discussions on major life issues such as life and death in Japanese literature. In this book, Rikyu does not use the tea ceremony to understand life and death, but uses life and death to understand the tea ceremony, so that the "silent tea" he has pursued throughout his life can truly be realized.
