The publication of the second volume of the "General History of the World" added another fire to Zhou Nan's lecture tour in Europe. The name Jonas Zhou, no longer an unfamiliar symbol, has formed a clear concept among the countries of Europe.

The publication of the first volume was actually hyped up at the beginning, from the popularity of the Liberal Democratic Party to Toynbee's preface, the praise of a world-recognized master brought Zhou Nan not only an explosion of fame, but also tangible benefits.

However, most of the content of the first volume is about the content before the Middle Ages, and it has been separated from the current society for too long, except for the academic world, ordinary people do not pay much attention to this book.

Zhou Nan's fame was touted at first, but his speeches in Switzerland and France were the main reason why Europeans recognized Zhou Nan.

Lectures at universities in Switzerland are a process of getting to know Zhou Nan as a whole. The trip to France, which began in Strasbourg, was an important factor that really promoted Zhounan's fame.

The historical relations of Europe, the international relations of France and Germany, the impact of World War I and World War II on Europe, and then to the prediction of future society.

Although Zhou Nan was young, his orderly speech, which combined the history of the whole of Europe with the present, let everyone know Zhou Nan's profound skills and clear understanding of social and humanistic aspects.

In the debate between the French academic community and Zhou Nan, Zhou Nan did not fall behind, he was debating with dozens of academics on his own, which is very rare.

And the founder of the Annals School, Fèvre, the master of existentialism, Sartre, the representative of absurdismism, Camus, and the pioneer of feminism, Beauvoir, their recognition of Zhou Nan also made the academic community really know and accept Zhou Nan.

At this time, Zhou Nan began to break away from the propaganda of his works in Lyon, and for the first time transferred scholarship from history and humanities to his ideology.

The birth of humanist ideas originated from the skepticism and denial of divine rights in the European Renaissance, and in the past few hundred years, although these ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no one has ever been able to completely sort out the logic and ideas in them.

In Lyon and later in Marseille, Zhou Nan for the first time completely analyzed the idea of humanism, summed up all the contents of humanitarianism, and classified them.

Therefore, Zhou Nan's forced style was immediately greatly improved. Originally, he was just a relatively erudite historical humanist, but now he has created a school of thought of his own and has become a true thinker.

Although no one has been able to sort out humanitarianism before, it is also in line with universal values, so its impact is far-reaching.

Zhou Nan now not only summed up the humanism of capitalism that belongs to the West, but also pioneered the analysis of the humanitarianism that belongs to the Eastern materialist thought, and his position as the originator of the mountain can hardly be shaken.

A school of thought in line with universal values, which allowed Zhou Nan's influence to spread not only to Europe, but also to the East, across the ocean, and to the United States.

Originally, there were still some doubts about Zhou Nan in the academic circles, but they immediately disappeared. Because Zhou Nan's scholarship is now linked to universal values, to deny Zhou Nan is to oppose mainstream society.

No matter who it is, when they don't find a direction that can question Zhou Nan's academics, they don't dare to fire indiscriminately.

The Red Cross only saw the value of humanitarianism, but did not think of the importance of this idea to Zhou Nan, so they wanted to find someone to improve the content.

But I don't know that this is one of the important cores of the Zhou Nankai sect, how can it be possible to allow others to get involved. This idea belongs to him, completely belongs to him, and anyone who wants to step in it, Zhou Nan will not allow it.

On the contrary, Zhou Nan does not care too much about the economic value that this book can create. Because this kind of thinking needs to be promoted, even if he sticks money into it, Zhou Nan is willing to do it.

The Red Cross wants to help him publish and publicize, and Zhou Nan will only be happy.

As for the incidental economic benefits, Zhou Nan set up a foundation to reward a certain percentage of people who have made special contributions to the humanitarian spirit every year. If you have a global impact, what is that money compared to?

Just like Nobel, because of the five awards he established, his influence in the world is probably greater than that of any one person, which cannot be bought by any amount of money.

Although the scope of this humanitarian award is smaller, with the Red Cross, an international organization, to help him publicize, the influence will not be small in the future.

This is the main reason why he did not think about doing it himself, but relying on the Red Cross.

On Monday, the heavy rain still did not stop, but it did not affect Zhou Nan's itinerary.

After Stolco came from home, they set off from Villa Sennar and headed directly to Geneva.

Melissa reluctantly left Ollie, still thinking about the puppy in her belly as she left.

In Geneva, Etinny had reached an agreement with the Red Cross for the publication of a single edition of humanist ideas.

The Red Cross obtained the thirty-year publishing rights for the book worldwide and in various languages under the authorization of Zhou Nan. But all proceeds from the book will go into a special custody account, earmarked for exclusive use.

Every year, the Red Cross selects about 20 people from all over the world who have made special contributions to the humanitarian field and gives them material rewards.

In the future, according to the size of the prize pool, the amount of reward will be determined, and the insufficient part can even accept donations from the society.

However, the name of the foundation will be named after Jonas Zhou, who originally wanted to add Hoffmann as well, but the surname with a distinctly German flavor was rejected by the Red Cross.

The defeated Germany, which had been divided into four control areas, had no influence in the international community at all at this time, but was discriminated against.

So they insisted on not adding the surname Hoffmann.

However, these are only small sections, so Zhou Nan didn't insist too much, so he agreed.

Next, it was Heitinga who began to refine the terms of the contract with them, and Zhou Nan took Stolco and Etini to start their trip to Italy.

At the beginning of the trip to Italy, there were not many confirmed itineraries, only two places, one was the capital Rome, and the other was the economic capital Milan. The few universities contacted were all asked by Nord and the Liberal Democratic Party to help Zhou Nan with public relations, and it was quite embarrassing.

This is mainly due to the fact that the academic thought of Italy is too confusing, the country was the cultural center of the Renaissance world, and many academic ideas spread from here.

It can be said that the tide of thought in the world has been influenced by Italy, whether it is France, Russia, or England, and all reforms have been influenced by Italy.

The people here may not be able to fight, but when it comes to lip service, almost no one can compare, and they also think very highly of themselves.

However, due to the great popularity of Zhou Nan's speech during his trip to France, especially after Zhou Nan's humanitarian ideas were fully expounded, Zhou Nan's speech was very popular in Europe. In France, there are many students who have even taken a lot of classes and listen to the speeches behind Zhou Nan.

At first he was followed by only a few Swiss media outlets, but when he left France, more than twenty media outlets were following him.

Italian universities are not real ivory towers that do not eat the fireworks of the world, they saw the topicality of Zhou Nan, and invitations came one after another.

Etinny and Stolco made a selection for Zhou Nan and helped Zhou Nan choose several more university invitations, including the first university in the world, the University of Bologna, which is ranked first in Italy.

"Jonas, are you ready for your presentation in Italy?"

"It's been a busy day and I've only prepared the content of the two presentations in Milan at the moment...... This time, I am going to use the ideological battle between East and West as the topic of my speech. ”

Stolko frowned and said, "Jonas, I think our progress should be a little slower......"

"What do you mean?"

"In order to promote the General History of the World, you have already talked about too many new ideas and analysis of the current situation, and I personally believe that you should not throw too many hot issues at once to attract people, but should give the people a time period to digest them," said Stolko. ”

Zhou Nan groaned for a moment and asked Etinny, who was sitting in the passenger seat. "Do you think so too?"

Etinny nodded and said, "Yes, I also think that just a humanitarian spiritual exploration will take a long time to ferment. You should also leave some topics for future publicity. ”

They didn't know that Zhou Nan actually had a very rich knowledge reserve, for fear that Zhou Nan would throw out too many academic problems at one time, and he would not be able to keep up with the times in the future, which would be detrimental to the continuous fermentation of his fame.

Because this will give Zhou Nan the impression of a meteor, or Jiang Lang's talent.

But Zhou Nan is actually not worried about this, the scholarship he involved in another life is very rich, and after his own refinement, even if he publishes a book every year, it can be published after he is sixty years old.

However, he decided to accept Etinny's opinion, because there was always a process of acceptance for the people. Whether it is his scholarship, his thoughts, or his image, it takes a long process to take shape.

The car travelled along Chambéry, through the Vanse National Park, into Italy. Etini replaced Pierre and drove into the heart of Turin, Italy's third-largest city.

This city, which was not originally promoted in Zhounan, has now become the first stop of Zhounan's trip to Italy.

Before arriving at the booked hotel, Zhou Nan and Stolko had already agreed that this trip to Italy would not promote new ideas, except for the analysis of some social hot spots, he would continue to improve the humanitarian content.

The content of the speech will serve the humanitarian monograph that will be written, so that this idea will be accepted by more people.
