Chapter 75: Testimonials on the Shelf
Chapter 75: A Message from the Shelf
Tomorrow at twelve noon will be on the shelves, although the shelves are not the first time, but still can not help but a little nervous and apprehensive.
After all, every book is a brand new start, a brand new story, and a brand new experience.
Although it’s not the first time I’ve written about history, it’s really the first time I’ve written about the Victorian era.
To be honest, I discussed a lot with my editor-in-charge, Canaan, before I started the book, and I’m very grateful for the inspiration and help he gave me in setting up the story.
In fact, in the beginning, I originally planned to write a fantasy story set in the Victorian era.
But as I prepared more and more for the opening of the book, and read more and more related books, I finally realized that even if I didn’t change the setting magically, directly taking the historical background of the Victorian era and creating it was already very wonderful.
That’s what led to this current book, Shadows of Great Britain.
In A Brief History of Mankind, the author divides human history into stages and delineates them with three landmark events.
The first is the Cognitive Revolution that began in the distant past and ended with the formal conclusion of the era with the victory of Homo sapiens, who had higher organizational skills, over the Neanderthals and many other races.
The second is the Agricultural Revolution that began 10,000 years ago, a revolution that changed the way humans produced, transitioning from gathering and hunting to settled agriculture based on farming, on which point city-states were established and the fires of civilization began to appear. Slavery, feudalism, and centralization …… of various forms of social organization came on the scene one after another, and all kinds of empires and kingdoms came to the fore.
The third is the industrial and technological revolution that started two hundred years ago. To be honest, until now, there is still a lot of debate in the academic world as to why the industrial revolution started in Britain, a small island that was isolated overseas. Some say it was the accumulation of colonial plunder, some say it was Britain’s earliest establishment of a constitutional monarchy, some say it was because of Britain’s naval and trading traditions, and some say the Industrial Revolution was purely a coincidence.
I can’t figure out exactly why, and I can’t figure it out. I can only try my best to present you with a glimpse of that era through my own little minuscule understanding of it.
Of course, my perspective does not represent that era.
Here, it is still important to quote a famous line from Marco Aurelius – everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
I hope to entertain you while providing you with a perspective, and it is up to you, the reader, to see what you can see from that perspective.
Well, with all that nonsense out of the way, it’s time to talk about the shelves.
Here, still want to thank all readers and friends of the collection, recommended, voting, reward, but also want to thank the old wolf and magic melon chapter push, really thank you very much.
The first thing I’d like to do is to ask for a subscription, and I’m going to ask for a first subscription tomorrow.
Tomorrow’s update should be five, and then every day to maintain the frequency of three updates.
The rule of increase is that the first booking over three thousand, every more than a thousand plus one more, the monthly ticket every thousand plus one more.

In addition, just now I trouble the book’s operating officer Gargamel help to build a book group, group number in the words of the author and the introduction have, cast a monthly vote has 100 fan value can enter.
