The Story of the Malakand Field Force
The future prime minister served as an officer with a cavalry unit in India that saw no action, while he was there. Wanting to see some fighting, young Churchill connived to get himself temporarily attached to the Malakand field force, which was in action in the northwest frontier area and contracted with some British newspapers to write of what he saw.

An autobiography
Gandhi's non-violent struggles against racism, violence, and colonialism in South Africa and India had brought him to such a level of notoriety, adulation that when asked to write an autobiography midway through his career, he took it as an opportunity to explain himself.

日记
翻开一本尘封的日记，仿佛推开了一扇通往十七世纪伦敦的窗。
塞缪尔·佩皮斯（Samuel Pepys，1633年2月23日—1703年5月26日），是英格兰海军的一名高级官员，同时也是国会议员。他从1660年开始，几乎不间断地记日记，一直写到了1669年——前后将近十个春秋。这部篇幅浩大的私人日记，如今已是研究英国复辟时代最珍贵的第一手资料之一。
佩皮斯被后世誉为史上最伟大的日记作者。这一称誉并非溢美之词：他对自我弱点的坦率书写，对日常琐事与时代大事近乎纤毫毕现的忠实记录，都让人难以企及。读他的文字，你会遇见伦敦的宫廷与剧院、家中灶台的烟火，也会撞见那些震动一时的大事件。他亲笔记录下了伦敦大瘟疫、第二次英荷战争的硝烟，还有那场吞噬半座城市的伦敦大火。

The Dragon and the Raven
多少个年头，英格兰一直被丹麦人的野蛮洪流所侵扰。那些异族入侵者将撒克逊人蹂躏得支离破碎，原本相连的村落沦为孤岛，处处是劫掠与残杀，景象惨不忍睹。公元九世纪后期，欧洲大陆仍笼罩在漫长的阴霾之中，一位名叫阿尔弗雷德的人物从历史的暗处走来。他凭藉过人的智慧、渊博的学识与非凡的勇气，将一群骁勇善战的武士凝聚成一支铁军，硬生生将维京海盗驱回了北海之北。
这是一段荡气回肠的真实历史，战火纷飞，巴黎之围的惨烈令人屏息，无数次跨越汪洋的征程波澜壮阔。而贯穿其中的故事，则环绕着一个虚构的少年——埃德蒙。他亲眼见证了不同文明的风土人情，也目睹了自己同胞惨遭屠戮、流离失所的悲剧。在那兵荒马乱、黑白颠倒的乱世之中，他毅然投身于阿尔弗雷德王的麾下，接受骑士的训练，统领一支斗志昂扬的长枪兵，誓要夺回那片沦陷的锦绣河山。
