Reader comments
What a great book! Bacon's writing is concise and full of wisdom. Every essay in the book is like a key, helping us open the door to life. The author's observations on human nature, society and nature are very profound and have benefited me a lot. Just like what is said in the book, "Reading history makes people wise." I feel that this book has also made me wiser! Highly recommended!
