Staying at home to fight the epidemic, what books should I read to reduce restless legs?

The Silk Roads

The concept of "the East" is understood to be the range from Eastern Europe through Central Asia and then deep into China and India; holding a central position in global political, commercial and cultural activities and shaping the modern world. In the Western view, the East was once considered a less developed region than the West, forgotten in mainstream history, but this place was the cradle of great civilizations.

The bookThe Silk Roads(The Silk Roads: A New History of the World) by Peter Frankopan is a sophisticated global history reference book that will organize and rearrange the reader's understanding of the world from an Eastern perspective. In it, the "silk roads" in the East are not only the flow of goods, ideas, religions, diseases... but also the rise and fall of empires; the spread of major religions around the world: Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Islam...

With a large amount of knowledge, new thinking and attractive travel language, the book takes readers through each continent and helps them better understand the concept of economic and cultural globalization and the shifting connections of civilizations throughout history.

Journey to the East

Journey to the Easttells the experiences of a scientific delegation consisting of leading experts of the Royal Society of England sent to India to research occultism and supernatural abilities of humans. During two years of wandering around Indian temples, witnessing many magical spells, many scenes of superstition, even fraud by many magicians and priests..., they had contact with wise monks living in seclusion in towns or on the Tuyet Son range. Thanks to that, they witnessed, experienced, and deeply understood the ancient and esoteric sciences of Indian culture such as yoga, meditation, astrology, health preservation and healing methods, knowledge of cause and effect, karma, the law of cause and effect, life and death...

The East glides out the window

For Paul Theroux, the Eastern trains were like markets that attracted him with their full flavor and color, with their mysterious, strange qualities that could not be explained. He boarded those trains, traveling for four months across Asia, to paint each piece of the vast Eastern picture: Türkiye with its unique culture and hidden sexual repression, Afghanistan in turmoil, India with its glittering temples but poverty and fantasy, Singapore with its neatness down to the last detail, Thailand with its smell of entertainment and sex, Japan with its conveniences but people seem to have become machines...

He also visited Vietnam, took a train across Hai Van Pass, and was surprised to realize during the journey that this was the land of the most poetic natural scenery...

His writings made Asia appear as if it could be touched, tasted, smelled, and stirred in us the urge to one day leave behind our familiar, boring lives, pack our bags, and hop on a train somewhere, to experience all the sounds of the vastness of life.

Dalat under the mist

Dalat under the mistare the cold, dry, cruel moments of history when all the layers of mist and smoke have been peeled away. The human perspective at this time is no longer vague, but only the years and exact events that took place. History is returned to its true meaning: containing events related to the land and people of Da Lat.

With 400 books, author Nguyen Vinh Nguyen had to flip through thousands of pages of text and hundreds of documents from many historical periods of Dalat to make a concise record, helping readers visualize what has been hidden under the mist.

“There are documents that have a corner burned. There are bundles of moldy files, pins that crumble when touched by human hands. There are pages of documents with blood stains. And there are events hanging in limbo with no clear beginning or end…”

Shadow on the Sand

Shadow on the sandre-enacts the journey in the footsteps of Master Xuanzang to India to seek Buddhist scriptures in the 7th century. The work begins with a brief introduction to the lives and careers of four great people who influenced Buddhism, including: Buddha, King Ashoka, Master Xuanzang and archaeologist Cunningham. The journey is divided into three stages: Stage 1: Nepal - India journey; Stage 2: Kyrgyzstan - Uzbekistan journey; and Stage 3: China journey.

In addition to focusing on describing the unique cultural features, religious changes, historical values, natural beauty and people in the lands marked by Huyen Trang's footsteps, the book also shares touching stories about the lives of the characters that the author had the opportunity to meet and interact with at transition points in the journey, such as Kathmandu, Novosibirsk airport, Naryn, or at additional sightseeing places such as Ala Archa National Park, Ham Huong mausoleum, Qin Shi Huang mausoleum, Xi'an night market, Bach Ma pagoda... All of them make readers feel a kind heart; feel warm about the modesty and sophistication in the way of storytelling; feel interesting with the elegant appearances and disappearances in old stories...

The Land Near the Sky

There are eagles, grasslands, tents and flocks of sheep grazing on clouds in the morning light of a thousand colors and scents...; there are nomads drinking milk, eating bread and gravy under the starry sky. By the firelight, stories about horses, camels, mastiffs and brave horsemen are passed down from generation to generation, along with modern tales about cars, about the tiny Saravag that guards the sky, about salt stones in the mines, monuments, ancient temples...

And there are many more amazing things waiting for you to discover in Mongolia - "the country near the sky"!

Cloud Road Through Snow Country

Cloudy Road Through the Land of Snowrecords what Anagarika Govinda witnessed during his travels in Tibet. The author's journey took place between the 1930s and 1950s, before the complex political developments that led to the annexation into the territory of the People's Republic of China as it is today. At that time, a part of western Tibet was considered to be under the control of the British colonial government, so the author traveled from Sri Lanka to India and then penetrated western Tibet (all of which were British colonies), with travel documents controlled by the British. For the latter part of the journey, the author went deep into the eastern part of Tibet, which was under the control of the Lamaist government in Lhasa, so he had to apply for additional travel documents from this government.

In fact, from ancient times until now, Tibet was only considered a closed mysterious land, a link on the legendary silk road, so although it was invaded many times, the temporary occupying governments gradually "abandoned" this land; therefore, this place was headed by spiritual advisors, the Lamas, the highest of which was the Dalai Lama. From the Western perspective, Tibet was considered a part of the Indian kingdom (which also included the countries of Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh today) because this place was more influenced by Indian beliefs and religions than by China.

The political developments from the 1950s onwards have certainly had some influence on the customs and religious life of Tibet. However, if one studies and puts one's mind back to the period before these complex changes took place, the reader will feel more clearly the "Freedom", the profoundness and the originality of Tibetan Buddhism that the author Anagarika Govinda wants to convey.

HIMALAYA - Journey to Touch the Sky

The book was written when Mai Lan and her companion were on their way back to Salleri - the closest point to Sagarmatha National Park that can be reached by car. The two trekked to an altitude of 5,364 m above sea level, through countless mountain passes, rivers and streams with a total distance of more than 200 km. They chose to start and end their trekking trip from Salleri, instead of Lukla as usual plans of tourists, to avoid the super expensive 45-minute flight from the capital Kathmandu of Nepal to Lukla - known as one of the most dangerous airports in the world. Choosing Salleri means having to travel twice as long, with twice as many mountains and passes to cross, but certainly, there will be many more wonderful experiences waiting. And this trip turned out to be much more brutal than Mai Lan could have imagined, but also more memorable than any journey she had ever experienced. Although I had previously traveled to 22 countries on 3 continents by hitchhiking.

The author's trekking trip to Everest Base Camp with his companion - a journey that seems purely physical but opens up unexpected and unique discoveries in the inner self. The absolute majesty and greatness of the highest peaks in the world, projected onto the small human being, makes us realize the pure and identical nature of everything and of ourselves. Interwoven in the story are very human psychological developments when facing difficulties or challenges, being subjective, trying, being discouraged, then trying again until almost giving up. The message given is very simple, happiness is always hidden in every moment of life, when we understand others as we try to understand ourselves, there will no longer exist negative and empty emotions, every person born has the ability to be completely happy, because true happiness comes from within.

Vanishing - A Memoir of the Everest Disaster

Disappearis the last memory of the most tragic climbing season in Everest history, which happened on May 11, 1996, as recounted by the world's leading memoirist - Jon Krakauer - in his memoir and became a controversial topic for a long time in the American media.

Jon Krakauer is a survivor of that tragedy, and the vivid, heroic, tragic and dark side of mountaineering is described in this memoir. He takes the reader step by step from Kathmandu to the deadly peak, unfolding a breathtaking story that makes the reader shiver and shudder.

Originally a semi-professional climber, Jon was sent by Outside magazine to join the Adventure Consultants expedition led by Rob Hall to write a 5,000-word article for publication. And Jon's initial goal was just to reach Base Camp (main camp, at an altitude of over 5,000m). But unexpectedly, the final article was up to 16,000 words for publication and not finished, then became a worldwide bestseller, voted Book of the Year by Time magazine and won many other awards.

Jon's memoir, in addition to strongly inspiring readers, helping them witness the most vivid experiences of the bravery and generosity of Everest climbers, also shows the negative aspects of the commercialization of Everest climbing, the serious environmental pollution caused by climbers leaving empty oxygen tanks and garbage on the mountain top.

Into the wild

In April 1992, a young man from a well-to-do East Coast family hitchhiked to Alaska and trekked alone into the wilderness north of Mount McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless (or Alexander Supertramp, as he called himself). He donated his entire $25,000 savings to charity, abandoned his car and nearly all his possessions, burned through the cash in his wallet, and set out to create a new life for himself on a solo journey through the wilds of North America...

Under the vivid pen of Jon Krakauer,Into the wildThe book, which describes the extraordinary experiences of Alexander Supertramp, became a famous autobiography, an unforgettable work of nature and adventure, praising a devoted and moving life. The story was made into a film in 2007 in the US.

On the road

The American adventure of Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty is based on the real-life journeys of Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady, two of the most important figures of the Beat Generation. It is essentially a journey in search of meaning and authentic experience. Written with a mix of naive sadness and wild abandon, between Kerouac's deep love of America, his compassion for its people and his sense of language, as if it were jazz.

On the Road is a classic example of the American vision of freedom and hope, especially as the "American Dream" begins to crumble. WithOn the road, Jack Kerouac began to develop a style of writing that he called “Spontaneous Prose” which was characterized by many long sentences, loosely structured, written as soon as an idea came to mind, and was highly personal.

Despite fierce controversy since its inception,On the roadis the most vivid evidence of a period in American history, an intellectual movement. The book is recognized as one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century in American and world literature.

Me, Charley and the American Journey

At the age of 58, after living abroad for some time, the American writer and Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck decided to rediscover his country. He drove a pickup truck with a cab on the bed, and with his dog Charley, he traveled across the United States. It was a journey of nearly 10,000 miles that John Steinbeck called his journey “in search of America.”

John Steinbeck encountered many situations, events, and people during his travels. He found diversity in the American people and landscape, but also sought to generalize. He also faced many personal problems, mainly loneliness and health problems.

The writer has always stood on the side of the workers, has seen his homeland exist not in the places but first and foremost, in the people who have chosen this land as their place to live and, though different, are all just trying to make the most worthy journey of existence.

Las Vegas Party

One must readParty in Las VegasHunter S. Thompson's book is "the ultimate chronicle" of America's 1970s and a unique comedy in the history of American pop culture.

Published in 1972, this autobiographical novel recounts the journey of journalist Raoul Duke and lawyer Gonzo from California to Las Vegas to cover the “world’s greatest” car race as a way of pursuing the American dream that the 1960s had established. However, with “two bags of weed, seventy-five mescaline tablets, five blister packs of extremely potent acid pellets, half a bottle of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of ecstasy, ecstasy, laughing pills, scream pills…”, the trip of the two not-yet-old but no-longer-young men quickly turns into a constant state of confusion and wakefulness.

It's hard to tell what they did and saw in Las Vegas - and it doesn't really matter what they did and saw - because in their drug-induced stupor, which is always accompanied by the fear of what they must see and do when sober, Duke and Gonzo show us that the hallucinatory and auditory reality of drugs and the reality of sobriety are equally ridiculous, absurd, and heartbreaking. Being drunk and crazy, therefore, has its own beauty and appeal. Sobriety, on the other hand, is not always something to look forward to.

Endless festival

Even after his death, Hemingway continues to captivate readers and define his inimitable vision of literature and humanity. Published in 1964, a few years after his tumultuous death,Endless festivalNot only is it a writer’s memoir, it is also like a feast of words with a way of adjusting the content and flavor that only Hemingway knows the secret (the famous cocktail recipes are the same, which can only be called “the way of Papa Hemingway”). Don’t be fooled by the plain and laconic appearance, because the Paris of Hemingway’s youth is richer than any description, and Hemingway is also one of the rare people who fully grasped that vague appearance and flavor.

Hemingway arrived in Paris in 1921, and soon became acquainted with famous figures of American literature at that time such as Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound and Sylvia Beach. Later, he also met other genius writers such as James Joyce, TS Eliot, Scott Fitzgerald... Through Hemingway's memories, we can see a lively Paris, bustling with writers and artists in parties, conversations about life, literature and art. It seems that Paris plays an extremely essential role in Hemingway's heart, as he wrote in a letter to a friend: "If you are lucky enough to live in Paris in your youth, then no matter where you go for the rest of your life, Paris will stay with you, because Paris is a never-ending party."

The 1920s was a period that the French called les années folles (the crazy years). At that time, Paris was the capital of modernism, many streams of art, music and literature gathered and flourished in this city of light – from Picasso, Duchamp, to Stravinsky, Poulenc and Satie, from Breton, Proust, Stein to Joyce. Living in those years of indulgence and enthusiasm, between books and art, was truly a blessing, a priceless treasure. As Hemingway also admitted in the bookEndless festival“To be able to immerse oneself in a completely new literary world and have time to read books in a city like Paris, where one can live and work comfortably regardless of one's wealth or poverty, is like being given a wonderful treasure.”

A Paris with meetings with friends, writing sessions at cafes, borrowing books at Shakespeare and Company, bringing his hungry stomach to enjoy paintings at the Luxembourg Museum... Everything appears in a flash and almost incoherently, because this is not a memoir but just the reminiscences of a Hemingway, who by then had become an old man, looking back on his youth about 35 years ago, the period that was probably the most beautiful of his life, a Paris "in the beginning, when we were very poor and happy."

Eat, pray, love

Liz’s journey to freedom and happiness spans three unique cultural territories, which she names for each stage: Eat (Italy), Pray (India) and Love (Bali, Indonesia). With her witty narrative voice, meticulous observations and sly, sly capture of events, combined with her ability to expose her own most specific emotions, thoughts, desires, and inhibitions, Elizabeth draws us into the act of actively experiencing unique cultural traits, along with the desirable psychological and spiritual maturity that comes from those very cultural expressions.

In Italy, it is the release of the senses and feelings in the simple expressions of life: delicious, unusual dishes, the taste of enjoyment - "the beauty of doing nothing", the good meaning of one's own existence or the sweet feeling of Italian, the language of Dante... Being comfortable with one's own feelings, and moreover, allowing oneself to go to the intense limits of feelings, joy... is the way for Liz to proactively overcome the loneliness and depression that still cling to her. It is also the way for her to escape the way of measuring life by pragmatic norms, such as money or a happy family... that most people confine themselves to.

The feeling of self is the first step for Liz to enter the spiritual journey, in the Ashram of the masters she admired in India. Readers can feel extremely interesting with each step of practice to forget the narrow ego, enter the state of pure spiritual tranquility, where Liz forgives and is forgiven for all the troubles that people unintentionally cause each other in their limited lives, including her own recent tragedy. In Bali, Liz finds a life full of love from old and new friends, with a satisfied lover and a beautiful sharing between people without being hurt by the excesses of her own loved ones.

Moments of Shores

Moments of shoresare notes on trips. For Ho Anh Thai, trips to the land of Buddha India, to Persia, the homeland of magical stories with markets and carpets, to the ancient capital of Laos "also sitting together in Southeast Asia", to Korea, or to America, Australia, Europe... are all exciting and attractive with many colors because of the surprising mystery of each unique cultural region. Reading Ho Anh Thai's travelogue, I feel the urge to set off, to the places he has been, to see "Culture is the meeting of people with people".

Missing Dong Van

Like a whisper recounting her stories, emotions and love for the places she has been, Thuy Tran will take readers through other lands, from the "heavenly" point of the Fatherland to Ca Mau Cape, from the plains to remote islands, from the highlands to urban areas, from the high mountains of the Northwest - Northeast to the Mekong Delta,... And especially her love for the "stone plateau" of Dong Van, the articles are like whispers, whispers she wants to say to the land at the headland, where there is "the sound of the mouth flute behind the stone fence", when "the stone plateau blooms", making people restless and worried.Missing Dong Van.

"If I only had one memory, I would definitely miss Sung La. Miss the girl waiting for her husband under the persimmon tree until she forgot to spin. Why did the spring fade on the stone fences? Why did tears fall like dew drops? Why did you propose so that the moon would eventually wane? Are there any fragments of the moon still stuck in you?"

Mekong, drifting alluvium

Mekong, drifting alluviumdivided into four parts: Thailand, Cambodia, Laos & Myanmar and Vietnam. These are five downstream countries, enjoying the natural and human resources that the Mekong River brings. But this is also the area affected by the extreme changes taking place in the upper reaches of this river. Without the ambition to convey grand narrative views, Khai Don quietly goes on solitary personal journeys to tell the story of fates: the fate of a border, a bridge or an anonymous wandering person...

In Cambodia, it is the poor country boys who go to the city to provide sexual services to Western tourists who are looking for “something new”, it is the temple precariously located on the Cambodia-Thailand border, a hot spot of dispute, an invisible fragile border with its own life. In Thailand, it is the bewildered fate of people searching for their gender identity, the bloody road on the bridge over the legendary River Kwai, the monk determined to protect the forest for his homeland, the town where the Vietnamese boat people of the past drifted to. In the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, it is the landslides, floating houses, giant fish that are only in legend. In Myanmar, it is the religious conflict beneath the seemingly peaceful surface and the persecution of an entire nation that has been deliberately pushed into oblivion. And in Laos, it is the tranquility and peaceful life of a land that preserves the tradition of Theravada Buddhism...

The ordinary people, the drifting lives, the sad, forgotten lives preserved on Khai Don's writings have the sparkling power like wandering grains of alluvium that contribute to the great life of the Mekong, a river with a history, a special reality, an uncertain future.

Vespa Travelogue: From Rome to Saigon

Vespa Travelogue: From Rome to Saigonrecounts Giorgio Bettinelli's first trip on a Vespa from Rome to Ho Chi Minh City. The story begins when Giorgio Bettinelli was given an old Vespa.

Italian mind

“Being Italian means working a full-time job. We never forget who we are, and we are so difficult that it confuses everyone who looks at us.”

For some foreigners, Italy is a vast, romantic and unchanging country. A land of light and perfume, of evening cocktails. But in the minds of Italians, unfortunately or fortunately, there is something else. Along the length of the peninsula with his foreign friends, Beppe Severgnini portrayed his country in a very ironic and sometimes cruel way.

From Milan to Florence, from Rome to Naples, Beppe's sharp pen "sketches" the streets, houses, squares, shops, churches, stadiums, supermarkets and beaches. A humorous, self-deprecating metaphorical journey into the way Italians live today. Ten days, thirty places. Through the eyes and pen of one of Italy's most beloved authors, the portrait of "our Italy is a labyrinth. Fascinating but complicated. Once inside, it's easy to wander around for years. But it must be fun" gradually emerges vividly.

Under the titleLa Bella FiguraIn its original form, The Italian Mind became the first New York Times Bestseller in decades written by an Italian, and has been translated into dozens of languages.
