About the author

Bi Lan is an author writing on world history. Public information about this person is limited, and no systematic record of their life is available. The library currently holds eight works by Bi Lan, all centering on American history and forming the "Story of America" series. It includes volumes such as The Colonial Land, The Fire of Revolution, The War of Independence, The Road to Constitution-Making, The Founding Fathers, The Struggle of the Three Powers, and A Republican Nation, as well as a seven-volume collection. Judging from the arrangement, the series follows a chronological thread, covering North American colonization, the War of Independence, constitution-making and nation-building, founding figures, the separation of powers, and republican institutions. It is a general historical writing on the United States aimed at Chinese readers. The writing emphasizes clear structure and continuous narrative, using separate volumes to lower the barrier to reading and help readers understand, from colonial origins onward, the formation and evolution of American political institutions, thus presenting a relatively complete series within world history literature.
