The Shadow of Great Britain

There is no clear plot direction for Arthur, a common man's promotion path. The protagonist is more about climbing along the pole. He often even does things that are not conducive to promotion and wealth for the sake of conscience. Of course, climbing to No. 3 Scotland Yard in two years is still too fast. The significant impact on the historical process is about zero so far. It is more like a semi-empty historical scene reappearance with the protagonist as a clue. However, the protagonist's sense of existence is indeed very strong and the character creation is very successful. It is a classic good by any means necessary. There is no heroine. At least there is still no heroine and emotional line. The development of the plot is perfectly combined with historical events. A large number of historical figures join the plot in a reasonable way and can stand out with distinctive personalities. The British joke lovers of the protagonist and some supporting characters not only conform to stereotypes but also adjust the atmosphere of the work. Many jokes are incorporated. The writing is very good. The only thing that makes me uncomfortable is that the writing skills are too skilled and obvious. It is a work worth pursuing.

[Recommendation] Graduated from the University of London, but unable to receive a degree certificate; rich in knowledge, but unable to find a corresponding job - London in the 19th century, a hellish era when a nine-year-old child was about to be hanged for stealing an umbrella. How can the protagonist who is a companion of the devil overturn this society in the turbulent historical trend? [Book title] Shadow of Great Britain [Tag] Fantasy History [Highlights of this book] ★Interesting world view setting A fantasy novel in a world without demons, with the setting of a devil possessing the protagonist. But rather than reading a fantasy novel, it is better to read a Western historical novel. The narrative style is very Western. The author's solid historical background creates a real, cruel and beautiful world. It has a strong sense of picture and substitution, and vividly describes the human emotions and state of the European society in the 19th century. ★Rich characters and personalities The stunning and solid writing style gives people a long-shot movie feel. In the first chapter alone, the image of the devil is created through the plot retrospection in the dialogue. What is the devil made of? Instead of passing through force, the contract is used as a tool to enslave human beings through intimidation, torture, and deception - this fully reflects the character charm of the protagonist and the devil duo in the article. Of course, because the identity of the time traveler is not restricted by the contract, the protagonist will not be easily manipulated by the devil. The protagonist uses the devil while fighting with the devil, and the process of becoming partners with each other is very contrasting and really cute. Recommended Readers This is a work of grain and grass, recommended to book friends who like fantasy historical texts with rigorous research. {"TopicId":"847235287436099584","TopicName":"New book trial reading"}

Sir Arthur Hastings was a Tory noble gentleman and a Whig progressive pioneer. Possessing all the good qualities, he is generous and kind, not greedy for money and sex, conscientious and capable, and all without talking about rights. Ever since our Sir Arthur opened his mind under the Tower of London, the British Jesus Christ has been lying in the coffin forever, and what climbed out was an Agares who surrendered to power. Sir Arthur's thirst for power is unimaginable. Even the republic is to Alexander, the throne is to Louis Napoleon, and the nine-section whip is to Schneider. Only Barr's desire for the "Relic Processing Plant", Heine's love for hemorrhoids and the tough guy "Lionheart" Carter's enthusiasm for cave exploration can be compared. Although Sir Arthur's reputation is polarizing, in my opinion he is really the most honest character. It's just because he was a little short-sighted and didn't know what remedies he found. He used his power to fill this hole. It also pitied my kind and generous Mr. Arthur.

There are many people in the comment area who question why there are demons in a world without demons, and whether the author has forgotten that this book is set in a world without demons. In my opinion, this is not the case. Since reading Chapter 29 of Volume 2, I have not seen the devil affecting the real world. The existence of the so-called devil is simply the protagonist's fantasy, and he is composed of the protagonist's negative emotions. For example, the devil devouring the enemy's soul is more like the protagonist imagining the devil tearing the enemy's soul apart in order to satisfy his desire for revenge after revenge. Just like in reality, when a conflict occurs, someone will be stabbed to death. The advice or help provided by the devil is actually formed by the protagonist's subconscious mind, but the protagonist is unwilling to face it or already knows it but just to give himself an explanation, so he blames it on the devil. As the devil said in Volume 2, Chapter 28: There are some things that you don't know better than you know, and you don't have the ability to know. In fact, it has been hinted that the protagonist already has a guess in his subconscious, but it takes courage to face the results directly, so at this time the devil warns the protagonist that you will not play to explore the truth. The protagonist must be quite hesitant at this time. The decision made by the protagonist during the struggle represents the victory of the good side of the protagonist's human nature over the evil side, and the pursuit of the truth triumphs over the idea of ​​silent escape. A thousand people have a thousand ways of interpreting Hamlet, so you don't have to worry about whether other people's opinions are consistent with your own. P. S: If you still can't understand the existence of the devil, I recommend you to watch the movie "A Beautiful Mind"

It is easiest to shape the rational side of a person. You only need to give the principles that a person follows, and then put various dilemmas in front of this person and let him make choices - just like completing a math problem - and finally come up with various answers. Human rationality is no different from what we use when thinking about questions. It is nothing more than that we use mathematical axioms when completing questions, but in life we ​​use our own three views. The difference is nothing more than the difficulty of the questions. This kind of thinking may be ridiculed as a question-answering maggot, but this is how human rationality is. We weigh and consider based on our own three views; growth in this dimension is also defined as deep learning training of neural networks. On the contrary, human sensibility is the most difficult to mold, and this is where the beauty of the human species lies. Emotional impulses are unpredictable, yet they reflect a person's truest self. Reason builds a person's bones and connects his tendons, but what gives him flesh and blood is emotion, the abandonment of the optimal solution, and the aura in the cage of reason. Therefore, sensibility is difficult to shape. On the one hand, you have to pave a path for the character that is unexpected by the readers; on the other hand, you have to give sufficient reasons for the character to embark on such a path. It is easy to write a character who always makes the optimal solution, because the author has a God's perspective and can always add various patches to make the choice the optimal solution, but it is those choices that lead to the rugged path that lead the character and the work to greatness. In the end, Arthur Hastings did not step on the stairs to heaven that had been opened before him. Like Anna Karenina finally lying on the railroad tracks. The characters inevitably abandon their rationality under torture, but gain their own subjectivity through this. In current online articles, long pages describe how the protagonist reaches the top step by step through the rational optimal solution, and even tend to turn the protagonist into a face, a mask, a leather jacket, to make readers feel more involved. However, only works with real writing power will flesh out the protagonist, write about the moments when the protagonist deviates from the rational optimal solution, and writes about the moments when he deviates from the predetermined track. Therefore, in this work, the most shuddering thing is firstly the gunfire under the Tower of London, and secondly in the corner of this garden. That was what Arthur Hastings was as a man.

Tmd, my buddy is researching literature to write a final project, and the boss is researching literature to write a novel. What is the gap? This is called the gap.

I have little experience or perseverance in writing book reviews - I only think about how to organize the words, because I am not sure where to stop - and sometimes I find it interesting to think of fragments that cross my mind from time to time but are not completed in the proper form. Those kind words are resting somewhere, but they just refuse to bear fruit. Maybe I think they are not written well enough, but maybe they have appeared in other forms in the comments of others who have been able to put pen to paper. Let me pick some up for the benefit of others (for now). Revisiting the past can also show authenticity, but it takes a lot of effort on the part of the author to connect the past to the present satisfactorily. In any case, there must be the presence of ordinary, level-headed contemporaries, just as detectives need Watson and Hastings* to play ordinary observers. The author spent a lot of time on the plot of the demon, a supernatural thing, appearing for the first time, setting up a background for it, and using some amazing descriptions to show the significance of its existence, thus fully highlighting Agares and making him a central character. But we don't need and can never use all the colors in the box. The author is like this, with only one comparison, Arthur Hastings also comes to mind on the page. In the writing of Charles, who had not yet emerged at this time, there is this sentence: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the age of faith, it was the age of doubt; it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; people have everything in front of them, people have nothing in front of them; people are going straight to heaven, people are going straight to hell. For me, scene setting or environment setting is a key point, the more easily perceptible this is for the average reader, the better. Another key point is that before the final blow, our observers should let people gradually perceive it, creating an atmosphere of exaltation before suppression. So, on our April Fool's Day, Hastings, who appeared in the cold spring, put on the dark blue police uniform that replaced Detective Beau Street, determined to pierce this hypocritical London.

This writing method is not suitable for online reading mode. I was lucky enough to finish the second volume when I finished it. I stayed up all night and read it all at once, and it was okay. However, if it is a follow-up reading, I can understand that some readers feel that it is too overwhelming. Even now thinking about it, if it stopped in some parts in the middle, I would not be able to bear it if I was asked to wait for updates. There are many chapters where the plot is basically not advanced and mixed with daily life, and there is basically no "substantial content" for a month or two. Then again, if you can read a big drama in one breath, the emotional value will be good. It is difficult to say whether it is a poisonous point to meet celebrities, but the author's research and skills are of a high level. Whether it's character creation or a certain translation accent, if you're right, Shang Dianbo will probably like it very much. This book does not have a clear and normalized main line. The protagonist is more like being pushed step by step in daily life. The devil's temptation is not even important. He is just pushed forward by life. Isn't this really the way to write a physical book? But daily life is too daily, and this length makes it look like a serial work updated every day. Looking at it this way, it really feels a bit like a diary and a unit drama, and it is still the kind of unit drama where many things are very dull. (Too few explosive points) The second volume has a good ending. Whether it is to die like this or to "pay tribute" to Jesus, I think it is okay to end it here. Some plots are too taken for granted, but it is originally a fantasy story, a popular novel like "The Count of Monte Cristo", and even includes devils and resurrection. In general, I like this story, excluding the shortcomings of "explaining popular science", I like the growth of the protagonist, and "the sacrifice and resurrection of the prophet".

This is the first time I read a novel of this style. The concept and writing are very good, which makes me wonder which master's trumpet this is 😍😍

This is science, and it can only be science

Tmd, how can you write so NB?

So wonderful, this book is destined to be regarded as a classic

PS1: *This refers to the captain companion of Sir Agatha Christie's detective Hercule Poirot. PS2: Written late at night in emo style, it is seriously fragmented. PS3: The manuscript is still under review, please try posting a picture first.

It's so good, why when I found out there were only 29 chapters instead of 290 😭😭😭😭😭

This book is the best one I have read about Qidian's foreign history.

Perhaps the emotional description of the characters in some plots is a bit stiff, but this does not hinder the merits of the novel itself, and the author's progress can be seen. The author can use the 19th century Great Britain as the background, a police officer as the protagonist, add some fantasy elements from a historical perspective, and have his own ideas on the plot. This is one of the better novels I have read in the past few years. I hope the author can have a beginning and an end.

😬😬😬😬

This is the first time I have the desire to subscribe and read. I really like the style and content of this book. If I keep it up, it can be said to be a masterpiece. Come on, author!

Come on

It's a monthly ticket, don't let it down, and update it on time next time.

I've given you the monthly pass, update soon PS I just discovered that this book doesn't have any extras

I recommend this book, it's interesting

It's very interesting. I haven't read at Qidian for more than half a year.

**  : ，* Said that I wished I could write an article explaining the difference between monkeys and Mr. Elder, so as to prevent the embarrassing situation of causing gentlemen and ladies in the social circle to behave impolitely. I agreed very simply at that time. After all, in my opinion, no matter how humble I am, I am still a naturalist with my own views and research directions. The difference between Mr. Elder and the monkeys can be observed with the naked eye. In my young mind, this kind of thing does not need an article to prove. However, reality gave me a hard blow when I was young. In the first stage of the observation experiment, I conducted follow-up observations on Mr. Elder for two weeks, and the results surprised me. In the past two weeks, Mr. Elder has been almost like a monkey in terms of behavior, social expression, and even thinking logic, which made me deeply aware of the importance of this article. Mr. Arthur is worthy of being a close friend of Mr. Elder. He had predicted long ago that Mr. Elder would bring cognitive bias to many gentlemen and ladies when he appeared in the London social circle. After all, if a man looks like a monkey, acts like a monkey, and even has logical habits like a monkey, how can people think that he is not a monkey? This aroused my thirst for knowledge, so I asked the London Zoo for help and loaned me a Mediterranean macaque (scientific name: Macaca sylvanus) so that I could use it to make a more scientific comparison with Helder (English name: Helder). The second phase of the observation experiment begins. Two months after the start of the second phase of the experiment. I even had serious shakes in my own knowledge and understanding. As we all know, although I am a naturalist, I am scornful of Lamarck's biological evolutionism. However, based on my two-month comparative observation of Mr. Elder and Mr. Macaque (hereinafter referred to as Mr. Egger in this article), I found that Lamarckism seems to have achieved perfect... Self-consistency between Mr. Egger and Mr. Elder?! At this time, I put down the pen in my hand and looked at the interaction between Mr. Egger and Mr. Elder. At this time, Mr. Egger was sitting on the desk and helping Mr. Elder, who was sitting in front of me, to catch lice. It can be seen from their expressions that both of them are very satisfied with this social event. Finally I returned to my desk and continued writing. I hope I didn't make too many mistakes or write too many mistakes during the confusion, because thinking back to that scene gave me a headache and even caused me to faint, so I really couldn't proofread the article anymore. The above is what I said about the research. I hope to give readers who read this article a preemptive reminder.

Newcomers to the Monster Series are all here, so I'll start with a fairy tale here. It's a very rigorous and detailed Western historical text. The author must have put a lot of effort into it. No matter from the plot, writing style, or world presentation, it shows a shining point that cannot be forgotten. Although the subject matter is niche, I really want to wave the flag and say, everyone should read this article! {"TopicId":"847235287436099584","TopicName":"New book trial"} [Book title]: "Shadow of Great Britain" [Personal evaluation]: When it comes to signing a contract with the devil, people will naturally think of Faust first. This is true, but it can be seen that this article is not as influenced by "Faust" (written by Goethe) as I imagined (although at that time It is close in reflection, but the image of the protagonist is not the same as the Faust described by Goethe), but Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus" has a greater influence (I don't know if the author has read this book, but it seems like this to me) This article almost entirely uses dialogue as a way to advance the plot, and it reads very smoothly. This is one reason why the comment area shouted that this is not like a newcomer at all - wanting to advance the plot through dialogue so smoothly is not something that a newcomer can grasp. Not only that, in addition to the control of words (such as that long speech), the author's grasp of the rhythm of the plot is also quite accurate. Whether it is inserting a bit of humor in the main drama that is relaxed but not dramatic, making people smile knowingly and not making people tired, or the foreshadowing and events in the overall plot, they are all very good. To be honest, from the current look, I can't imagine how the author can write this article. It is a very powerful new book for newcomers! [Author]: Trend (Is it really a newcomer???? [Status]: New book New book list 28 Very, very good-looking Highly recommended

A British Story Eddystone is a group of rocks between the English and French Channel. It is very low and difficult to find. It has been a nightmare for all ships passing through the English and French Channel hundreds of years ago. There were no GPS and telegraphs at that time, and if something happened, it would basically result in a ship being destroyed, cargo damaged, and people killed. Many ship owners hope that the semi-official pilot association can set up a lighthouse here. However, on offshore reefs, transportation, docking, construction and maintenance costs were very high. At that time, there were no drilling rigs, electric welding, concrete, or solar energy. They could only be built manually with stones, iron pillars, and wood. People had to be transported to the lighthouse to light the lights for maintenance. The cost was much higher than that of shore-based lighthouses. Therefore, the Pilot Association has no interest in doing so. At this time, the hero appeared. His name is Henry Winstanley (Henry Winstanley, 31 March 1644-27, Nov1703), born in 1644. He was a painter, engineer, and inventor in his early years. He used his earnings to invest in five merchant ships, two of which were destroyed at Eddystone. After that, he negotiated with the Pilot Association and obtained the right to build and operate the lighthouse, and he shared the lighthouse fees (such as 1/4 or 1/2 pence) collected when passing ships entered the port. The Navy also supported his choice and provided him with ships and crew to assist him. He began construction in the summer of 1696. However, the construction of the lighthouse was very slow because it was limited by the conditions at the time: it required rowing more than ten kilometers to climb onto the reef, drilling through the reef by hand, and inserting iron pillars as supports. When the construction was nearly a year old, an accident happened: the ship sent by the Navy to protect it was transferred away due to participation in the war. The enemy French took the opportunity to sneak attack and brought his prisoner back to France, and the part under construction was also demolished. Fortunately, King Louis XIV of France asked for his immediate release and sent him back after learning about it, and left a famous saying: France is at war with England, not with humanity (France is at war with England, not with humanity). Construction resumed, and the lighthouse was opened in November 1698, becoming the world's first offshore lighthouse standing in the ocean. In the five years since its opening, no ship has suffered a shipwreck here. Unfortunately, a huge storm occurred in 1703. Dozens of British ships and hundreds of windmills were destroyed, and tens of thousands of people died or went missing. Winstanley and several employees who were maintaining and strengthening the lighthouse at the time were also killed in the sea. In 1709, two private investors rebuilt the lighthouse. There was a fire in December 1755. Sparks ignited the wooden structure and melted the lead-covered top of the tower. The lighthouse keeper, Henry Hall, who was 94 years old at the time, still insisted on throwing water upwards to put out the fire. The melted lead water continued to pour into his mouth. He died a few days later after being rescued by a passing merchant ship. People believed it was true after doctors found a 7-ounce (1 ounce = 28.35 Grams) piece of lead in his stomach. The lead block is still preserved in the National Museum of Scotland. Above: The lead mass removed from Henry Hall's stomach collected by the National Museum of Scotland. Below: A commemorative sign based on the prototype on the street near the Duke of Cornwall Hotel in Plymouth. Image source: National Museum of Scotland official website /Wiki The reconstruction of the lighthouse in 1756 invited John Smeaton, the most famous "Academician of the Academy of Engineering" at the time, to preside over the project. He ignored the cost and discovered and used hydraulic lime (lime made from clay and limestone) for the first time. This discovery was a major leap forward in the accumulation of knowledge during the invention of cement. It not only contributed to the British maritime industry, but also played an important role in the invention of "Portland Cement". In 1879, due to the erosion of the reef, a new lighthouse was built on a different reef. The upper half of the old tower was dismantled and rebuilt in Plymouth as a memorial, while the base of the tower remained in place. Over the past hundreds of years, in addition to Louis XIV's famous saying, the Eddystone Lighthouse and many heroic stories have also become widely known through the spread of the crew, sailors and their families. They have appeared in songs, paintings, and novels, inspiring countless travelers who have the courage to explore the unknown and challenge their destiny. This lighthouse has also become a holy place for lighthouse lovers around the world, and has been voted the most beautiful lighthouse in the world many times. In 2015, Google named the latest low-power Bluetooth protocol "Eddystone".

One look at the writing and plot arrangement makes it look like the reincarnation of the dirty land. Well, I believe it's just the newcomers with extraordinary talents, and the newcomers are all monsters.

"Wake up, get up" I feel dizzy, so uncomfortable "I had a long dream, I dreamed of a world without Arthur Hessjens" "Everyone has dreamed about it. Do you know how many pages the physics, chemistry, and biology textbooks will be missing without Arthur? Every time I am upset, I dream about inventing a time machine to take Arthur's life in Yorkshire. My roommate is a science student. He has had more contact with Arthur than me, a liberal arts student. Although Arthur is recognized as an all-rounder, Arthur does not occupy much space in the liberal arts knowledge in middle school, at least not as much as in science. If Arthur does not appear in a comprehensive science paper, it is as outrageous as if Elder does not appear in a book dedicated to Arthur. "Class is about to begin" "What class are you taking today?" "Take the Hastings class, you can't remember such a unique class" The teacher in our foreign literature appreciation class is a fan of Hastings, and will definitely mention the greatness of Hastings in every class, so we will call this class the Hastings class. In the last class, he seemed to have said that he would treasure the original version of 713 issues of "The Englishman" This issue is the one with the most celebrities, and is also called "Holy and Evil". As we all know, although Arthur is a Catholic with noble qualities and an ascetic life style, he is always very open-minded in his thinking and will not taboo the 13 that represents the devil. In his famous "I am just a humble social instrument" speech, he expressed that he has no fear of the devil. Some people think that Arthur is an atheist. The back row of the classroom was already full, because the teacher would randomly ask questions when he was interested, but because I got up late, I could only sit in the front row. The teacher came in with a bag. He opened it solemnly, took out "The Englishman" from it, and started today's lecture A simple summary is In the starry sky of literature, "The Englishman" is like a bright beacon, illuminating every corner of the literary world. It is not only a magazine, but also a mark of the times and a cultural treasure. From obscurity in its early days to its star-studded glory today, it has witnessed the glory and changes of the literary world, and has led generations of new literary talents to fly. The brilliance of literary giants such as Alexandre Dumas and Dickens blossomed on the pages of "The Englishman" and became stars in the literary world. Their writing is talented and unique, and they lead the trend of novels, which is amazing. It is a pity that Disraeli stopped writing in the political arena, but the light of Alexandre Dumas and Dickens still shines brightly. The popular science chapter of Darwin, the biological master, the spark of thinking ignited the desire for knowledge. Arthur's detective novels are fascinating, unique, authentic and believable, making them excellent works. His former career as a Scotland Yard superintendent gives his works a real and believable charm. The semi-autobiography "Robin Hood" by the British hero Elder is a treasure in historical literature and has attracted much attention. In the supplement of "The Economist", the posthumous works of Robert Peel, Napoleon III, Louis Bonaparte and David Ricardo are of extraordinary value and far-reaching influence, and are the witness and inheritance of history. The Arthur team, working quietly behind the scenes, has unique vision and unremitting efforts, discovering and cultivating countless new literary stars. Their work transcends the boundaries of words and dedicates their efforts to inherit culture and lead trends. Then the excited teacher randomly asked me a question and asked me to briefly describe the content of this lesson. I cleared my throat "The Englishman", you are the beacon of literature, shining brightly in the night sky of the literary world. You are not only the carrier of ink, you are also a mark of the times and a cultural treasure. From the obscure start-up period, to the glorious moment when the stars are shining, you have witnessed the glory and changes of the literary world, leading the flight of generations of new literary talents. Alexander Dumas, Dickens, the brilliance of literary giants, bloom on your page and become a star in the literary world. Their writing style is talented and unique in wisdom, leading the trend of novels, which is amazing. It is a pity that Disraeli stopped writing because of the political stage. Alexandre Dumas and Dickens, the two bright stars illuminate the literary world. A popular science chapter by the biological master Darwin, The spark of thinking ignites the desire for knowledge. Arthur's detective novels are fascinating, unique, authentic and believable, and can be called masterpieces. A former Scotland Yard police superintendent, his professional experience gives his works a real and credible charm. The semi-autobiography "Robin Hood" by the British hero Elder This treasure of historical literature has attracted much attention. And in the supplement of The Economist, the posthumous works of many politicians are of extraordinary value and far-reaching influence, and are the witness and inheritance of history. The Arthur team, working quietly behind the scenes, has discovered and cultivated countless new literary stars. Their work transcends the boundaries of words, dedicating their efforts to inherit culture and lead trends. "British", you are the epitome of the times and the intersection of cultures. Your success is not just a pile of words, but also the blooming of passion and talent. Your passion lights up the entire literary world and makes the world shocked and admired! Another class is over, and this is my ordinary life.
