Do you remember the first time you heard a fairy tale? Is it "Once Upon a Time" written by your grandparents on an autumn afternoon, or is it the story your parents read to you before going to bed? Only when I grew up did I realize that the way I dealt with life contained the shadow of these fairy tales: bravery, tenacity, kindness, honesty... Hesse's fairy tales also have these qualities, but at the same time, they are many different. Hesse, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, uses poetic language to deconstruct fairy tales, just like a movie script, showing the other side of fairy tales around the world and the details that we have ignored. While constructing fairy tales, it also presents the truth of life. Brave adults, please open this "Hesse's Fairy Tales".

An Italian writer's "COVID-19 Diary", a precious specimen of the times, and a dictionary-style record of the epidemic. Starting from rationality, we explore the crises and changes that COVID-19 has brought to mankind; in the subtleties, we pay attention to those surprising but unnoticed facts. "Us in the COVID-19 Era" can be regarded as the "COVID-19 Diary" of Italian writer Paolo Giordano. It records the social conditions in Italy in the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak and offers profound thoughts on the fate of the human community. In February 2020, the new coronavirus began to rage in Italy, and on March 4, Italy announced a nationwide school suspension. The famous Italian writer Paolo Giordano quickly wrote down his observations and thoughts. He said: "I am not afraid of getting sick. But I am afraid of the changes that the virus may cause. I am afraid that everything will return to zero, but I am even more afraid that it will all be in vain in the end and bring no change." Therefore, just like Freud wrote down his dreams after waking up, Giordano also tried to record his current feelings during the COVID-19 epidemic. Starting from mathematical concepts, he talked about the impact of the pandemic on mankind, and combined with his own personal experience, he further reflected on the backlash of environmental destruction on mankind. The whole work is short and concise, with a lofty perspective. It is a precious specimen of the times.

The first work of Carlos Fuentes, the leader of the "Latin American Literature Explosion", takes us to peek into the secrets behind the mask that we don't want to reveal to others. The six stories have different styles and are full of whimsical ideas. When it was first published in 1954, it sparked heated discussions in the Mexican literary world at the time. The collection of short stories "The Day We Weared the Mask" was first published in 1954. It is the first work created by Carlos Fuentes, one of the four protagonists of the "Latin American Literature Explosion" and a master of Mexican literature. The book is composed of six short stories full of text and ideological vitality. There are macro thoughts on human civilization, a political allegory pointing to the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, a tragic identification with foreign invasion and enlightened monarchs, a bizarre metaphor for the Panama Canal, awe of the Aztec gods, and a mockery of consumerism that ultimately destroys civilization. The whole work is full of whimsical ideas, and the opening chapter "Chuck Mohr" is one of Fuentes's most acclaimed short stories.

"Periodic Table of Elements" is a collection of essays by Italian writer Primo Levi with a strong style. It has autobiographical elements, but also combines fables, imagination, and even history. By explaining the characteristics of twenty-one elements, the author narrates his own growth and life before and after World War II, and conducts a profound and moving inquiry into the hidden relationship between human morality and the material world. The two identities of chemist and Auschwitz survivor coexist so strongly in Levi. For Levi, chemistry was "a political school". The material world of chemistry presented him with many subtle ethical and moral metaphors, helping him face the various displacements he experienced as an Italian Jew during the fascist years. Levi used the inert gas "argon" as a metaphor for the separation between the Jewish community where he grew up and other ethnic groups in the Piedmont region; he used "mercury", an unstable and volatile gas, to refer to the Italian intellectuals who followed Hitler at the time; and the element "zinc", which is "inert and requires impurities to carry out chemical reactions", effectively satirized Hitler's absurd statement that "Jews are an impurity that must be removed". The stories of "cerium", "vanadium" and "gold" vaguely restore the painful memory of the author's experience as a "chemical engineer" in Auschwitz; and Levi's views on life are also fully revealed in the last chapter "Carbon". The author uses a super-historical perspective to restore the transmission and circulation of a carbon atom among all things in the world and the human body. Every reader is forced to face the same thinking as Levi: Since life is the accident and reorganization of matter, then must life be nothingness?

After three western expeditions, the four great khanates, the reunification of China, and several eastern and southern expeditions, the Mongol Empire at that time was indeed a veritable world empire, and the Genghis Khan clan was indeed a veritable "world conqueror."

A deck of tarot cards that can predict the future! A transshipment book that can be read in infinite reincarnations! A magical and peerless book! Pavic depicts the experiences of two Serbian families who worked for Napoleonic France and anti-Napoleonic Austria respectively, representing Serbia's choice between the two forces of East and West. However, no matter which side they fight for, they are not fighting for the future of Serbia, but for things that have nothing to do with their own nation. At the same time as the Napoleonic Wars, Serbia's revolution to break away from Turkish rule was also in progress. This major event was consciously ignored by the author and was almost never mentioned in the book. This highlights the characters' indifference to their own nation and the absurdity of the war. It does not have an ending in the traditional sense. Everyone in the book is driven by the wheel of fate. While struggling and resisting, they have to accept the guidance of fate.

In "The Race for Wealth," a historical masterpiece that integrates military, technology, and society, William McNeil is committed to exploring the ups and downs of mankind in the past millennium, and tracing our original development path, allowing us to see clearly how the world has step by step reached the terrible dilemma we have to face today. This book first starts with the use of bronze weapons and armor in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC, and then talks about the changes in weapons in 1800 BC and the emergence of professional armies in 1000 BC. Then it is divided into ten chapters and focuses on describing the industrial progress, weapons manufacturing, government management, and social order evolution of the world's major countries in the East and West after 1000 AD, the improvement of European war business and war skills, the pressure brought by violent bureaucratization, the impact of the French political revolution and the British Industrial Revolution on the military, and a brief introduction to the world wars of the 20th century, especially the U. S.-Soviet arms race and planned economy since 1945. The core argument of this book is that the worldwide commercial transformation that began in the 11th century resulted in military operations becoming increasingly subject to the dictates of market forces and the dictates of rulers. McNeil believes that it is only in our era that planned economies began to replace the manipulation of large-scale human activities by market forces. This book directly confronts the major issues facing the world since 1000 AD. The discoveries, hypotheses and extensive knowledge contained in it are enough to make readers re-examine our era and provide us with solid evidence for wiser decisions in the future.

In Europe today, countries interact frequently, and their lifestyles are generally similar. People move around. Immigrants change the places they go, and they are also changed by their surroundings. This pattern was actually formed more than a thousand years ago. The origins of modern Europe can be traced back to a thousand-year transformation. With the rise and fall of empires, the Germanic-speaking Goths, Anglo-Saxons, and Franks, the nomadic Huns, Avars, and Magyars, the Vikings who came across the sea, and the Slavs who replaced the Germans to rule Central and Eastern Europe came and went across the land of Europe. These immigrants coveted the empire's wealth and were also afraid of the empire's violence. They followed the land route, sea route, and river network, either dragging their families with them to find a new home, or forming small teams to plunder, or trading slaves and furs for profit. From Rome to Europe, this is the story of immigrants who changed the world. A thousand years of migration ended the order dominated by the Roman Empire. The barbarians in the eyes of the Romans redrawn the human geography and political map of western Eurasia. In the struggle between the empire and the barbarians, the prototype of modern Europe gradually emerged.

In 2060, three historians from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom decided to travel back in time to World War II to experience history through personal experience. Michael prepares to go to Port Dover to investigate the Dunkirk evacuation. Merope transforms into a maid in a manor to take care of the children who were evacuated from the city to the countryside to avoid the German bombing. Polly comes to a department store in London to become a saleswoman, experiencing the worries and strength of ordinary people under the haze of the London bombing every day. As the research progressed, the three historians soon noticed anomalies. First, the things happening around them began to appear slightly different from historical records, and then the portal back to 2060 could not be opened for unknown reasons. Trapped in World War II-era Britain, the trio became prisoners of time, struggling to find a chance to survive amid the flames of war. What's even more frightening is that perhaps due to their inadvertent actions, history itself is losing control and the outcome of the war will be rewritten...
