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 selected publications, we can glimpse: from the inner courts of ancient Egyptian pharaohs to the Roman arenas where gladiators spilled blood, from witches' gatherings in wild forests to the "hippie" communities in modern metropolises, from the Bohemian lifestyle of unrestrained freedom to the romance between knights and noblewomen in the Middle Ages, from the forced smiles and tragic tears of Japanese geishas to the cruelty and horrors 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 expertise or young scholars who have devoted ten years of hard study to obtaining their doctorates. To present these historical details in an accessible, engaging, and entertaining manner, they adopt a scientific attitude of organizing historical materials and verifying facts, combined with their own life experiences and imagination. They meticulously revise and rewrite every passage, tirelessly searching for illustrations, to produce the beautifully bound, richly illustrated books presented to readers.
