Written with the style of Goethe's Faust, it presents a (shocking) historical perspective on the waves of productivity and production relations propelling human history forward, offering a fresh interpretation of the "World Compendium of the Last 5,000 Years."
War and peace, civilization and barbarism, progress and regression—these cycles repeat: it elucidates the fundamental laws of human activity over 50,000 years, forging the blood-stained years of five millennia of history. This is a buried history where time stands still, and history reflects. This book comprehensively records a series of shocking and soul-stirring historical truths in the history of world civilization—those truths altered by victors or concealed by rulers. It is both an honest dialogue between humanity and savagery and a conscience-driven self-examination of the human soul. What we offer is not merely a simple review but a genuine recreation of history, even if it delivers a powerful visual and emotional impact, evoking profound shock and awe.
