Features: The purpose of the "New Horizons Library" is to provide readers with a "time tunnel" to "travel through time and immerse themselves in history." In the books published under this series, we can glimpse: from the inner courts of ancient Egyptian pharaohs to the Roman arenas where gladiators spilled blood, from the witches' gatherings in wild forests to the "hippie" communities in modern metropolises, from the bohemian lifestyle of unrestrained freedom to the romance between medieval knights and noblewomen, from the forced smiles and bitter tears of Japanese geishas to the cruelty and horror of Nazi Germany. Through the meticulous portrayal of social and historical life scenes and the vivid depiction of historical group activities, readers are enriched in their understanding of world civilization and world culture.
The authors of the "New Horizons Library" are mostly middle-aged scholars with specialized knowledge or young scholars who have spent ten years studying to obtain their doctorates. To present these historical details in an accessible, engaging, and entertaining manner, they adopt a scientific attitude toward sorting through historical materials and verifying facts, combined with their own life experiences and imagination. They repeatedly revise their writings and tirelessly search for illustrations, resulting in the beautifully bound, richly illustrated books presented to readers.
