It was selected as one of the top ten books by Taiwan's China Times in 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Tang Dynasty was a time of great prosperity, both civil and military, embracing the world with unparalleled confidence and passion. Poetry, once the most free form of poetry, was imbued with the rules of meter and became a means to change destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy did the ethereal Li Bai, with his aspirations to \"apply the teachings of Guan Yu and Yan Zhenqing, and devise the strategies of imperial rule,\" fail to qualify for the imperial examinations, even concealing his origins and wandering the world, destined to miss out on the prosperity of the world? Unable to conform to the rhythms of his time, his verses were arbitrary, so how could he have composed unrivaled verses that reached the ears of the gods, achieving the supreme glory of \"Gao Lishi removing his boots, Yang Guifei pouring wine\"? Even after achieving worldwide fame, why did he still lose sight of his original self, so that, millennia later, people still mostly remember only his name?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Behind the prosperity of the world, beneath the fame, often overlooked is the burden of freedom. The immortals that later generations admire, envy, and strive to reach are merely those excluded from the mundane world. As real life unfolds, the immortal realms of poetry gradually fade away, shaped by the various assumptions and restrictions of the times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Li Bai changed Tang poetry, but missed the era; and how could the entire Tang Dynasty miss him?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \"Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty\" series is a culmination of author Zhang Dachun's mastery of modern fiction and classical cultural heritage. Across millions of words, it recreates the life of the immortal poet Li Bai and the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. The first installment, \"Youthful Travel,\" traces Li Bai's early travels, unravelling the mysteries of his origins and mentorship, and depicting the vibrant world of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. The author weaves between fiction and history, not only using poetry to infer the inner and outer worlds of contemporary literati, but even boldly ghostwriting Li Bai, supplementing and rewriting his poems. The narrative is both elusive and captivating, a captivating and captivating interplay of rationality and intellectuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e I think the reason why a novel like \"Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty\" is fascinating is not only because it uses a lot of \"unconventional, wild, and unreliable history\" to weave the stories around the legendary figure Li Bai, but also because it uses vague materials such as poetry to reversely infer the creative situation at that time, and tries to make that situation (of the times, society, and individuals) come alive again. This is undoubtedly a great challenge and satisfaction for a novelist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTherefore, this book can be said to be a textual research, a poetic theory, a documentary, and of course a novel of a new form that is extremely challenging for readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e —Wu Mingyi (novelist and professor at National Dong Hwa University in Taiwan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \"The great road is as vast as the blue sky, yet I alone cannot escape.\" The grandeur of the prosperous age reflects the poet's dilemma. Laughing up to the heavens, only to become a weed, Li Bai's sorrow is no less than Du Fu's. Rather than describing the grandeur of the prosperous age, it's better to describe its embarrassment, and Zhang Dachun captures this embarrassment with unwavering vigour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e ——Liao Weitang (Hong Kong writer and poet)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"广西师范大学出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46085138874607,"sku":"9787549549733","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1ly-4pDoRFN3nyhOtaoarzDbkjH81zm7Z.jpg?v=1734602801"},{"product_id":"厌女简史-9787559676016","title":"A brief history of misogyny","description":"◆ “Misogyny was invented long before the wheel was invented.”\u003cbr\u003e ◇Pandora myth, witch-hunting craze, Jack the Ripper...\u003cbr\u003e ◇Misogyny has lasted for thousands of years, permeated civilization, and is everywhere.\u003cbr\u003e ◆The final work of renowned Irish journalist Jack Holland ◆A shocking investigation into one of humanity's oldest prejudices ◆Tracing the ideological roots of misogyny and presenting a panoramic view of its evolution\u003cbr\u003e +++\u003cbr\u003e From Plato's supreme ideal to Freud's \"castration anxiety\", from the myth of Eve's fall to the denigration of women in Hamlet, from medieval witch hunts to serial killers in London's alleys, misogyny exists in every aspect of civilization, traveling between different cultures like a virus and reproducing itself. \u003cbr\u003eWhy has misogyny persisted for millennia?

The civil war almost engulfed the entire Liu Song dynasty and subsequently escalated into a war with Northern Wei. Wang Zhong'er, born into a middle-class bureaucratic family in the Southern Dynasties, was forced into the conflict, her family destroyed. Two years later, at the age of thirty, she was taken as an ordinary palace maid to Pingcheng. However, her fate unexpectedly became intertwined with the \"son honored, mother killed\" system, drawing her into a vortex of power struggles. As a palace maid and then a Buddhist nun, she became a pivotal figure in raising two generations of emperors, living in the Northern Wei court for fifty-six years.\n\nProfessor Luo Xin uses epitaphs and other historical materials to recount Wang Zhong'er's long and tumultuous life, viewing the era through her eyes. He reconstructs emperors, empresses, imperial relatives, court officials, eunuchs, and palace maids as concrete individuals, observing their joy, suspicion, arrogance, and despair in the face of power. Wang Zhong'er's life story unfolds alongside nearly eighty years of Northern Wei history, from Emperor Xianwen and Emperor Xiaowen to Emperor Xuanwu and Emperor Xiaoming, as well as the many people swept away by the turbulent currents of the era.\n\nWe focus on ordinary people from distant times because they are an integral part of real history; without them, history is incomplete and unreal.\n\nLuo Xin, born in Hubei in 1963, is a professor at the Center for Ancient Chinese History and the Department of History at Peking University.

This is a travelogue of wandering, yet it tells stories of people searching for home. The ghosts of history loom over this Southern European peninsula, as queer individuals and poets, refugees and drug dealers, murderers and victims, believers and merchants all make an appearance. In Slovenia, he stumbles into a poetry salon, witnessing poets' efforts to rebuild their homeland with words in a country so small it's easy to overlook. In a border town in Croatia, he sees the afterglow of a bygone empire, discovering past elegance in an old waiter. In Montenegro, he meets a woman who works as a call-taker for an American pizza chain, surprised by Americans' appetites but unable to taste the pizza herself. He encounters the godfather of e-commerce in Serbia, who embraces the tide of commercialization, seeing a world that is smooth and without resistance. He meets a generation that grew up during the Greek economic crisis, shouting leftist slogans and proudly declaring, \"We are also a Balkan country.\" The Balkans become more than just a geographical concept; it's like an adjective, fraught with complex meanings of pain, struggle, exploration, and hope. Traversing the long shadow of history, arriving at scenes marked by bullet holes, and collecting the bloody tales of wanderers along the way, he explores a more universal question, one that begins in the Balkans but resonates with each of us: in these uncertain times, where do we find home?

At the same time, it uses Yuan Dynasty songs, dramas, calligraphy and painting documents to outline the customs and culture of the Yuan Dynasty.\u003cbr\u003e The Yuan Dynasty was vast and ethnically diverse, resulting in vast variations in natural products, culinary techniques, and flavors across different regions. The Mongols, during their campaigns east and west, encountered and integrated the culinary cultures of Central and Western Asia. Furthermore, various ethnic groups entered the Yuan Dynasty as officials, missionaries, and merchants, bringing foreign cuisine to the people, which then blended with local cuisine. Consequently, compared to previous works, this book features dishes that utilize more mutton and dairy products, with Northwestern and Central Asian influences, showcasing the unique blend of ethnic groups and exchanges between the north and south during the Yuan Dynasty. While the total number of dishes included has been reduced, the book offers a more detailed and in-depth exploration of subsequent culinary culture and historical customs.\u003cbr\u003e 【Editor's Recommendation】 \u003cbr\u003eThe author has devoted years of meticulous research, writing, and revising the two books in the series, \"Song Banquet\" and \"Yuan Banquet,\" while also working on subsequent works. He has become a leading figure in the study of Song Dynasty culinary culture, serving as a project developer for De Shou Palace in Hangzhou and as a historical consultant for the television series \"Dream of the Red Chamber.\" He has also participated in numerous documentaries, including the Douyin video \"Delicious Food in Ancient Books,\" and holds multiple influential roles.\u003cbr\u003e Yuan Dynasty cuisine, while continuing the traditions of the Song Dynasty, possessed distinct characteristics, with many dishes still found in Northwest China and Central Asia today. However, relatively few publications on the subject have been published, making this book unique. The author's previous work, \"Song Banquet,\" was selected as one of the top ten books by the Beijing News in 2018.

The region's tribes were disorganized and unable to resist the Turkish invasion. The British military dispatched Lawrence, an Army intelligence officer known for his \"Arab expertise,\" to conduct operations there. The British intention in the Arabian Peninsula was to provide the Arabs with limited firearms and ammunition to tie down Turkish forces while simultaneously bringing the Arab tribes under their control. Lawrence largely followed this strategy, but his approach was highly strategic. He adopted Arab clothing and tried to live as close to Arabs as possible. His commando unit's numerous military exploits, which resonated throughout the Middle East, earned him the nickname \"Lawrence of Arabia.\" The book details Lawrence's heroic long-distance raids against the Turkish garrisons of Aqaba and Damascus, his friendship with the Arab leader Prince Faisal, and other historical details. The book highlights Lawrence's rich inner life, particularly his resistance and struggle with British imperial policy in the Middle East. To highlight Lawrence's unprecedented and potentially unparalleled feat, the author also uses parallel narratives to narrate the efforts of two outstanding American and German intelligence officers, effectively serving as a foil to Lawrence. In short, this is an excellent biography, with a captivating subject and elegantly written, with a plot twist that remains true to its core. It is a key to understanding the history of the Eastern Front in World War I, British imperial foreign policy, and the modern history of the Middle East.","brand":"社会科学文献出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242099495151,"sku":"9787509759233","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1xt9zHY8lrW7bFvDRkNqhdDF2smWrm5Qr.jpg?v=1738969319"},{"product_id":"金雀花王朝-9787509768129","title":"Plantagenet dynasty","description":"The first Plantagenet kings inherited a fragmented, blood-soaked kingdom from the Normans, but they built it into an empire that, at its peak, stretched from Scotland to Jerusalem.

It interviews concentration camp survivors and Nazi perpetrators, restoring historical truth and details. It focuses on humanity under Nazi rule, revealing that the Holocaust was a collective evil committed by a \"few madmen\" and countless \"ordinary people.\"\u003cbr\u003e ------------------------------------------------- \u003cbr\u003eAuschwitz, one of the most horrifying names in history, is not just the \"final solution\" or a concentration camp where Jews were massacred, but a concrete manifestation of Nazi Germany's overall values. This is a much bigger story, but we have never truly understood it.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing upon years of research, this book, using the specific location of Auschwitz as a starting point, attempts to offer the most insightful interpretation of one of the gravest crimes in human history. Unlike anti-Semitism, Auschwitz had a definite beginning date—the arrival of the first Polish prisoners on June 14, 1940; and unlike genocide, Auschwitz had a definite end date—the liberation of the concentration camp on January 27, 1945. Between these two dates, human behavior and beliefs were repeatedly and instantly reversed, evolving in unforeseen directions in response to their circumstances. \u003cbr\u003eThrough a wealth of accounts from diverse individuals and perspectives, Lawrence Rees breaks down the common, often overly simplistic, understanding of Auschwitz. Was Auschwitz specifically designated for Jews? For SS guards, which was more punishing: refusing to kill or looting the victims' belongings? Did anyone survive the gas chambers? Why did the Danish government, while Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary actively cooperate, assist Jews in escaping? What role did civilized France play in the Holocaust?\u003cbr\u003e Human depravity knows no bounds. Studying Auschwitz not only offers readers a deeper understanding of the Nazis but also allows them to understand what humanity can do under the most extreme circumstances in history. Many of the stories presented here can help us better understand ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e ------------------------------------------------- \u003cbr\u003eHighlights\/Editor's Recommendation★ This masterpiece is by Lawrence Rees, a British historian and \"one of the most distinguished producers of historical documentaries.\" A graduate of Oxford University, Lawrence Rees previously served as Creative Director of History Programming for the BBC, earning numerous accolades. After fifteen years of dedicated writing and television on Nazi themes, he penned this classic. In his search for evidence, the author employs a rigorous and thorough approach to uncovering historical facts, employing the principle of \"no citation of isolated evidence.\"\u003cbr\u003e ★ Breaking Down Preconceived Notions and Restoring the Historical Truth About Auschwitz: This book's most significant historical contribution is its reconstructive of the true nature of the Auschwitz concentration camp, allowing readers to understand what Auschwitz was and wasn't, what happened there, and how it evolved and developed. Rees demonstrates that the Nazis didn't meticulously and methodically design Auschwitz as a murderous den from the outset. Instead, Auschwitz was the cumulative result of repeated improvisations as the Nazis faced new challenges. \u003cbr\u003eExisting Holocaust research often draws heavily on the testimonies of survivors and victims, but rarely on the testimony of perpetrators. This book is unique in that it collects a significant amount of firsthand testimony from perpetrators, answering two key questions: How could anyone commit such a heinous act, with such impunity, murdering innocent people with no grudge against them? And who made the decision to kill? The first is the question of human nature, concerning the good and evil of human beings. The second is the question of political responsibility and legal accountability, concerning how justice should be served for the victims. \u003cbr\u003e★Focus on what ordinary \"good people\" would do in extreme situations. The author affirms that Hitler's interconnected decisions ultimately led to the massacre of the Jews, but at the same time focuses more on the creativity and evil behavior of ordinary Nazis, revealing that the criminals are not a few sadists or perverts, but countless mentally normal people, \"good people\", and social elites. He points out that one of the most dangerous ideas is that Europeans were forced by a few lunatics to unwillingly and reluctantly commit the crime of exterminating the Jews.\u003cbr\u003e ★Looking back and looking forward, reflecting on the Holocaust, giving warnings and hopes. The author emphasizes that the impact of human circumstances on individual behavior is far greater than we can imagine. Do not ignore the effect of the Nazi rule on the humanity of ordinary Germans. This period of history will always be a warning; but it also shows that if individual behavior is affected by the environment, then the joint efforts of a group of people can create a better culture, which in turn improves individual morality.\u003cbr\u003e ★A long-selling classic in world history and European history, ranked TOP5 on Douban's history book list and TOP2 on the list of popular books on World War II.","brand":"民主与建设出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242181611759,"sku":"9787513942393","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1ejS1GL45NoH9P3LWSnFKzs9i5jxYKCJY.jpg?v=1738972264"},{"product_id":"叫魂-9787542643216","title":"Soul Calling","description":"\"Soul Calling: The Great Chinese Witchcraft Panic of 1768\" tells the story of \"witchcraft in a prosperous age.\" During China's millennial imperial era, Emperor Qianlong was unparalleled.

He explored the environmental ecology, animal ecology and husbandry, economic activities, social organization, and the relationship between nomadic and settled populations of these three nomadic tribes, as well as their interactions with the Han Empire.\u003cbr\u003e The nomads' seemingly \"free\" choices were actually forced survival choices made under certain circumstances. The development of an ethnic group cannot be judged by its superiority or inferiority; rather, it is a state of affairs determined by its environment and internal social structure.

The \"Chinese rural sedentary theory\" obliterates many \"alternative elements\" in our historical experience. This book presents the various forms of nomadic society in northern China during the Han Dynasty, making the Xiongnu, Western Qiang, Donghu, and their descendants, long considered \"others,\" a step in our self-understanding.\u003cbr\u003e No ancient empire boasted as many nomadic peoples as China; no other written language preserves as rich a record of nomadic peoples as the Chinese. Yet, today, the study of nomadic peoples is the province of Western, Russian, and Japanese scholars. After reading this remarkable and unique work, we can declare with some pride that the study of the nomadic world has finally gained a share of Chinese experience—from the theoretical to the microcosmic.\u003cbr\u003e The author deconstructs the one-sided accounts of older historians while also carefully considering the research findings of predecessors to avoid overreaching.

From individuals to nations, and even entire peoples, countless memories and traditions are gradually being forgotten. Language, like biological genes, stores a rich store of historical information, yet it has long been considered a \"lost art.\" This book transforms this so-called \"lost art\" into accessible and engaging stories, leading us to discover a more authentic world within language. \u003cbr\u003e-- Pan Wuyun, a historical linguist and professor at Shanghai Normal University and Fudan University. Everyone can speak, so everyone likes to discuss language and writing. Unfortunately, even experts rarely offer clear explanations of common sense beyond their own specific areas. Zheng Zining has painstakingly compiled this \"expert common sense\" from various sources, providing us with reliable topics for discussion. \u003cbr\u003e--Sino-Tibetan scholar Gong Xun, Research Fellow at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. Many myths about ancient Chinese and Chinese dialects circulate in China today, such as that Cantonese is closer to ancient Chinese and that Mandarin is actually a product of Manchu and Mongolian, not Chinese. These claims are widely and firmly held. While some have tried to correct these myths, their voices are often weak and ineffective. Zheng Zining's book, written in a relaxed and clear manner, clearly exposes the falsity of these myths (and thus the conclusions based on them), demonstrating how engaging and inspiring the methods and conclusions of genuine linguistic research can be. This is a must-read for anyone interested in languages, whether a beginner or a seasoned expert in multiple languages ​​and dialects.\u003cbr\u003e ——Zhang Zhan, Iranian scholar and PhD in Iranian Studies from Harvard University 👀 Introduction👀 \u003cbr\u003eEveryday language influences individual thinking, dialects preserve a nation's historical memory, and political language shapes a nation's present consciousness. \"Eastern Dialects, Western Languages\" is a book that challenges readers' intellectual boundaries, breaking free from individual thought patterns, tracing a nation's lost history, and exploring the logic of national consciousness. Using the contemporary modern Chinese dialects as a framework, Zheng Zining surveys the panorama of Chinese dialects and national cultural heritage, explicating the cultural biases inherent in them. Using the historical evolution of ancient Chinese as a weft, he surveys the historical landscape of Chinese language and tradition, systematically revealing the cultural memories that lie beneath.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, Zheng Zining uses an easy-to-understand way to transform dialectology and historical linguistics, which have always been regarded as \"lost knowledge\" and have extremely high barriers to entry and difficulty, into nearly 50 wonderful stories. He integrates almost all the core issues of language and culture such as Mandarin Chinese, pinyin, dialects, ancient Chinese, names, titles, foreign language acquisition, etc., and uses a coherent logic with internal unity to help us find a brand new China in language.","brand":"海峡书局","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242080063727,"sku":"9787556711260","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1Dg-WvFZqeUHFA6pbMtEz2uxSZHE9cmQD.jpg?v=1738968663"},{"product_id":"野蛮大陆-9787509772775","title":"Savage Continent","description":"A Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller and winner of the PEN\/Hessel-Tillman History Book Award, The Savage Continent offers a window into the chaotic, fleeting period between the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War.

He was not afraid of the scorching sun, heavy rain, flying dust, and difficult mountain roads.

How are their lives shaped by the times? How do they view the major events that rewrite history and destiny?\u003cbr\u003eIn countries with extreme gender inequality, what kind of life do women lead? To what extent are their lives constrained by gender? How do they view their own living conditions?\u003cbr\u003eDriven by curiosity and questions, author Yao Lu spent four years (2016-2020), overcoming various difficulties, traveling alone to almost all Middle Eastern countries—Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, leveraging the convenience of her female identity and using the unique travel method of \"couchsurfing,\" she deeply immersed herself in 31 unfamiliar Middle Eastern families, integrating into their daily lives. What is particularly rare is that she was able to closely interact and communicate with many local women.\u003cbr\u003eAfter four years of solid travel and in-depth observation, the author, with this book \"The Unseen Middle East,\" reveals to us a more vibrant and rich Middle Eastern world beneath the news, long obscured by smoke and veils, as well as the fates of individuals, the daily lives of ordinary people, and the living conditions of women in this turbulent and mysterious world.\u003cbr\u003eAuthor Yao Lu is also a photographer, and the book is accompanied by over 70 high-quality documentary and landscape photographs, complementing and illuminating the text.\u003cbr\u003e......\u003cbr\u003e◎ Editor's Recommendation\u003cbr\u003e★ Everyday life perspective, a more authentic and rich Middle East. Unlike focusing on hot news topics such as Middle Eastern politics, war, and refugees, this book's author pays more attention to the daily lives of ordinary Middle Eastern people, long obscured by smoke and veils. Therefore, she lived in various Middle Eastern homes, deeply participating in the daily lives of the Middle Eastern people—attending family gatherings, weddings, celebrating Eid al-Fitr in Iraq, watching football matches in Syria, camping in the desert of Saudi Arabia, etc., presenting a more internal, and thus more vibrant and rich Middle Eastern world.\u003cbr\u003e★ The Middle East from a female perspective, and the group of Middle Eastern women from a female perspective. Almost all tourists venturing into high-risk areas of the Middle East are men, but due to Middle Eastern religion, culture, and customs, it is difficult for men to deeply enter local families and almost impossible to interact with local women and conduct in-depth interviews. As a highly approachable woman, the author used couchsurfing to live in Middle Eastern families, showcasing a rare and valuable female perspective on the Middle East and the group of Middle Eastern women. She addresses issues such as Middle Eastern women's right to education, right to work, and domestic violence, both lifting a rather mysterious veil and presenting lives and inner worlds that are both different from ours and somewhat similar.\u003cbr\u003e★ \"High-difficulty travel\" and in-depth analysis and reflection. In recent years, very few people have traveled across the Middle East as tourists, especially to countries like Syria and Iraq. For four years, due to war and poor neighboring relations and conflicting visa policies, the author had to frequently adjust her plans based on the situation. This book records various unexpected problems encountered during the author's travels and, through real and vivid stories, provides in-depth analysis and reflection on Middle Eastern history, war, women, and other issues.\u003cbr\u003e★ High-quality landscape and documentary photography. The author is also a renowned landscape and documentary photographer. The book is accompanied by over 70 high-quality documentary and landscape photographs, complementing and illuminating the text.\u003cbr\u003e......\u003cbr\u003e◎ Reviews\u003cbr\u003eYao Lu stumbled into the Middle East, and \"the Middle East\" was no longer a grand, vague concept.\u003cbr\u003eShe saw distinct individuals, vibrant and living beings. Because of similar experiences, reading her words often made me laugh; I completely understood what she was saying, but sometimes she was closer than I was. Our initial intentions for intervening in the Middle East were different; her motivation was an exploration of gender issues. But all roads lead to Rome; a girl comes to know herself by traveling the world.\u003cbr\u003e——Zhou Yijun [Senior International Journalist, author of \"Out of the Middle East\" and \"Life and Death in the Middle East\"]\u003cbr\u003e......\u003cbr\u003eThis is a moving book to read, and for me personally, it was long-awaited—finally, a Chinese person could write such a work!\u003cbr\u003eA Chinese girl, through couchsurfing, entered ordinary families in multiple Middle Eastern countries. She didn't just travel; she lived and felt. With a brushstroke that is both delicate and expansive, especially through the perspectives of different Middle Eastern women whom she deeply understood, she vividly presented history and reality, politics and family, struggle and hope, life and dreams... This is knowledge and experience that general reading cannot provide. I have read many similar works by Western female writers and anthropologists, which were also excellent reading experiences, but I always felt something was missing. Yao Lu's \"The Unseen Middle East\" fills that gap, meaning she writes with a Chinese perspective and a rather refined style, making her observations and records truly friendly to Chinese readers.\u003cbr\u003e——Zan Tao [Director of Peking University's Turkish Studies Center, Middle East scholar]","brand":"民主与建设出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242104705263,"sku":"9787513946933","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1_i9Qe7FWPBRAztcDB0uTT5W2yIK6b67O.jpg?v=1738969502"},{"product_id":"凯列班与女巫-9787542680525","title":"Caliban and the Witch","description":"Editor's Recommendation: A history of women's bodies during the transition to capitalism.

A classic Marxist feminist text that complements the missing female perspective in Capital. Highly recommended by scholars including Xia Ying and Yan Fei of Tsinghua University, Lan Jiang and Yang Qiaoyu of Nanjing University, and Ni Zhange of Virginia Tech! \u003cbr\u003eRecommended by scholars Well worth reading… enables us to better understand the close relationship between modern patriarchy, the rise of the nation-state, and the transition from feudalism to capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e —The Guardian\u003cbr\u003e A groundbreaking work… Federici has become a key figure… in a new generation of feminists.\u003cbr\u003e —Rachel Kushner, author of \"The Mars Club\" In describing the abhorrent state terror unleashed against women, Federici has written a book truly for our times. Neither compromising nor overbearing, \"Caliban and the Witch\" conveys the unwavering impartiality and dignity of a global scholar. It is both a passionate work of recovered memory and a historical hammer. \u003cbr\u003e—Peter Linebaugh, Professor at the University of Toronto This book, by situating witch-hunting within the historical process of capitalist society's growth, presents the disenchanted growth of modern capitalism. Its perspective is unique and powerful. Theory finds its fleshed-out expression here, not only offering a unique gender perspective but also imbuing its critique of modernity with a personal pain. Capitalism's birth and development were precisely driven by this personal pain, achieving its own rationalization.\u003cbr\u003e —Xia Ying, Professor of Philosophy at Tsinghua University. \"Caliban and the Witch,\" by tracing the question of witches, fills in a missing link in the history of women in the transition to capitalism, long overlooked by Marxism and other theories. Federici makes us understand that in the development of modernity, the oppression of women formed the bloody foundation of capitalist primitive accumulation. Only by uncovering this mystery can feminism truly find a crack in its resistance. \u003cbr\u003e—Lan Jiang, Professor of Philosophy at Nanjing University. The church's suppression of witchcraft, along with the rise of the capital market and the construction of the nation-state, is a cornerstone of the rise of modern society. Witch-hunting targeted the social organizations and folk knowledge led by women, aiming to discipline women's bodies, exclude them from paid labor, and trap them in newly constructed domestic spaces, engaging in unpaid social reproduction. Witch-hunting, the slave trade, and the exploitation of nature together constitute a truth about the primitive accumulation of capital that has been overlooked by traditional Marxism. \"Caliban and the Witch\" not only reveals the complex interweaving of gender, race, ecology, and religion in the history of global capitalism, but also reminds us to analyze and reconstruct the power relations that permeate every aspect of daily life. \u003cbr\u003e—Ni Zhange, Associate Professor of Religion and Culture at Virginia Tech. Within the cultural power dynamics between colonial powers and colonies, Caliban symbolizes resistance to the colonizers and a change of fate. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, when over 100,000 common women were executed for being accused of witchcraft, many more rose up, and through the women's movement, they sought to dismantle the social disciplines imposed by capitalism and reclaim control over their sexuality, bodies, and labor. Federici shows how each independent and courageous woman, in the process of dismantling witch-hunts, used her own body to drive historical change. \u003cbr\u003e——Yan Fei, Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, Tsinghua University Content Introduction This book revolves around a core question: How to explain the execution of hundreds of thousands of \"witches\" in early modern Europe? Why did the rise of capitalism coincide with the war against women? The book is divided into five parts: the daily struggles of peasants and workers before the 15th century; the impact of land privatization and expansive population policies; the rise of the mechanical view of the body; large-scale witch hunts on the European continent; the recurrence of witch-hunting strategies in the Americas and the counterattack of local women.\u003cbr\u003e By reviewing this 300-year history, Federici argues that witch-hunting was a manifestation of capitalism's rationalization of social reproduction, providing essential support for two core principles of modern social organization: labor capacity and self-ownership. In other words, control of women's fertility and bodies (represented by witch-hunting) was a key step in capitalism's achievement of primitive accumulation.\u003cbr\u003e Federici's dialogue with Marx's theory of primitive accumulation and Foucault's body theory from a female perspective poses a powerful challenge to traditional historical narratives and theoretical paradigms.","brand":"上海三联书店","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242108604655,"sku":"9787542680525","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1IdJ_yFPOzd7IV_GlwraO9HVfMF2m73ag.jpg?v=1738969666"},{"product_id":"切尔诺贝利的午夜-9787559834027","title":"Midnight in Chernobyl","description":"【Editor's Recommendation】\u003cbr\u003e ★ Nearly 30,000 people on the famous reading website Goodreads gave it a high score of 4.38, praising \"Midnight in Chernobyl as one of the best non-fiction books you can read.\"\u003cbr\u003e .\u003cbr\u003e ★ Highly recommended by leading European and American writers and scholars, including Pulitzer Prize winner and author of \"Gulag: A History,\" Anne Applebaum;\u003cbr\u003e Craig Mazin, creator of the HBO drama \"Chernobyl\": I feel very sorry that I didn't read the book before filming.\u003cbr\u003e .\u003cbr\u003e It vividly tells the story of one of history's worst disasters, while also allowing us to see the puzzling realities of the daily events that unfolded in the final years of the Soviet Union.\u003cbr\u003e —Anne Applebaum (Pulitzer Prize winner)\u003cbr\u003e .\u003cbr\u003e This book is a valuable contribution to history and an exceptionally well-told story about a world-renowned event like Chernobyl.\u003cbr\u003e — Shahili Puloki\u003cbr\u003e . \u003cbr\u003eChernobyl, the eternal nightmare of human civilization: Over a decade of in-depth investigation by leading journalists, hundreds of hours of interview recordings, and the first exposure of a wealth of archives, letters, and memoirs offer a panoramic view of the entire process of this devastating nuclear disaster of our time.\u003cbr\u003e Author Adam Higginbotham is a veteran reporter for The New Yorker, known for his mastery of storytelling and his ability to dig up and apply material.

Taking Rome's political hub, the \"Senate and People of Rome\" (SPQR), as its starting point, the author skillfully and insightfully begins with the clash between Cicero and Catiline in 63 BC, passionately telling the story of Rome. The book not only explores Rome's rise from an insignificant village in central Italy to an empire spanning three continents, but also reveals how the Romans viewed themselves and their achievements. The author consistently portrays each stage of Roman history from both an external and internal perspective. At the same time, the book is permeated with a strong sense of contemporary concern. As the author discusses Rome's military expansion, democracy, immigration, religious conflict, social mobility, citizenship, and exploitation, we encounter reflections of our own world, understanding why ancient Rome continues to matter to us. \u003cbr\u003eThe book, while grand in scope, is brimming with vivid detail. While drawing heavily on the latest findings in archaeology, numismatics, and epigraphy, it employs little technical jargon. With a down-to-earth and humorous touch, the author tells the \"other side\" of many stories, challenging conventional wisdom and presenting a Rome that, despite its many unresolved mysteries, remains captivating nonetheless.\u003cbr\u003e ◎ Media recommendation: The plot is compact, exciting, sharp-minded and boldly skeptical.\u003cbr\u003e — Brian Appleyard, The Sunday Times\u003cbr\u003e Very engaging... a very enjoyable read, and also quite scholarly.\u003cbr\u003e —Natalie Haines, The Observer\u003cbr\u003e To keep a book of over 600 pages devoted to Rome full of energy, while also providing a coherent answer to the question of how Rome was able to expand so spectacularly, is a truly ambitious undertaking.

The author argues that during this period, the separation of classics from history disrupted the dominant position of Confucian classics; the decline of imperial power at the end of the Han Dynasty led to the prevalence of private historical writing; and the strong intervention of the Sui and Tang dynasties in historical writing led to the formation of the official historical revision tradition. In the ten years since its publication, this book has received widespread acclaim from the academic community.

Ensuring this responsibility is ensured by the historian's virtues: criticism, skepticism, and imagination.\u003cbr\u003e The history we are familiar with contains a wealth of myths and pseudo-history. Some of these will be exposed, eliminated, and replaced, while others, due to a lack of historical materials and limited evidence, leave skeptics helpless.

In this magnificent historical work spanning four hundred years and covering seven continents, the author starts with the commodity of cotton, allowing us to see how the history of capitalism is closely linked to the history of nation-states, colonial history, and the history of the slave trade. \u003cbr\u003eCotton products are so ubiquitous in our lives that we often overlook their importance. Yet, the history of the cotton industry is inextricably linked to the history of modern capitalism. Understanding the history of the cotton industry is key to understanding capitalism and the contemporary world. Author Sven Beckert recounts the history of the cotton industry, explaining how European nations and capitalists reshaped one of the most important industries in world history in a short period of time, ultimately changing the face of the world. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is a truly global history, spanning five continents, linking the African slave trade with the Red Sea trade, and the American Civil War with cotton cultivation in India. Merchants, commercial capitalists, brokers, agents, state bureaucrats, industrial capitalists, tenant farmers, yeoman farmers, and slaves all play their roles in Beckett's sweeping magnum opus. Beckett clearly demonstrates how their fates are intertwined with the development of modern capitalism and how they shaped our present world of profound inequality. This book demonstrates that there is no so-called \"globalized\" stage of capitalism; capitalism has been globalized from its inception.\u003cbr\u003e ◎ Celebrity recommendation: \"The Cotton Empire\" was written in contemporary times, but its structure and layout reveal the grandeur of a classical epic... For colleagues in the field of global history, \"The Cotton Empire\" has set a benchmark for research quality. \u003cbr\u003e—— Wang Xi, Professor of History Department, Peking University The book \"Cotton Empire\" is a masterpiece that uses the global history method to explain the origin of the modern world. So far, I think this book is one of the most successful works that uses the global history method to explore important historical issues.\u003cbr\u003e — Zhong Weimin, Professor of History at Tsinghua University. Cotton and cotton cloth are among the most important products ever produced by mankind. In a sense, the Industrial Revolution that transformed the world began with the cotton textile industry. This book vividly describes how entrepreneurs and politicians in modern Europe transformed the cotton textile industry into its most important industrial sector, while also revealing the key phenomena of modern society: imperialism, slavery, machine production, and wage labor. As the world's largest cotton textile producer, the Chinese people should learn about this period of history through this book.\u003cbr\u003e —— Li Bochong, professor of the History Department of Tsinghua University, is incredibly knowledgeable.\u003cbr\u003e —— Orhan Pamuk is fascinating and profound...this is how global history should be written. \u003cbr\u003e—Eric Foner, American historian. \"Beckett convincingly demonstrates how Europe's voracious cotton textile trade fostered the emergence of capitalism, drawing clear connections between the practices that nurtured the cotton empire and similar elements in the production of goods for today's large international retailers. Those eager to learn more about how and why slavery flourished in Europe, Africa, and the Americas will find this book deeply illuminating. Even better, those who benefited from the legacy of the cotton empire and find the exploitation and enslavement of workers deeply disturbing will find further inspiration in their efforts to achieve a more just and equitable society.\" \u003cbr\u003e—Ruth Simmons, President Emeritus of Brown University ◎ \"Excellently recommended by the media… Deeply researched and highly readable, Empire of Cotton offers fresh insights into the relentless expansion of global capitalism.

A stunning achievement.\"\u003cbr\u003e —Thomas Bender, The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e This is a significant piece of scholarship, unsurpassed in its study of cotton as a commodity.

A significant portion of these Inner Asian traditions have been lost or distorted in historical records, leaving them vague and difficult to discern. Therefore, unravelling these remaining clues is a task that can only reveal the diversity and richness of history.
