Synopsis

This book is a great combination of philosophy and literature. Its characteristic of the organic integration of wisdom and beauty has always been appreciated by scholars all over the world, such as the famous British poet Shelley praises, ""His words have a beautiful and solemn rhythm, which gives a touching beauty to the emotions. His argument contains superhuman wisdom and philosophy, which gives a profound enlightenment to reason."" At the same time, this book explains profound theories in simple language and is fond of by intellectuals all over the world. It is translated into almost all the languages and is rated as one of the ten most popular books in the United States in 2000. Each of the chapters and sections is filled with the philosophers wisdom and understanding. His precise insights on life problems as well as his careful and meticulous writing style can not only improve our wisdom, but also help us get the pleasure in reading. The language in this book is beautiful. He is used to convey profound philosophy in simple words. Many of these statements have become mottos in the process of wide circulation, such as Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showdth best by day; but it will not rise to the price of a diamond, or carbuncle, that showeth best in varied lights. It is no less worthy, to observe, how little alternation in good spirits, the approaches of death make; for they appear to be the same, till the last instant. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.
