Reader comments
This book allowed me to see Gide's profound thoughts on travel and life. He not only depicts the scenery along the way, but also reveals human nature and social issues. Just like I am about to enter marriage, I will also have hesitation and confusion, but this book made me understand that life is a journey, and what is important is the experience and growth in the process. Moreover, this series from Translation Agency is really good, with beautiful cover design and careful selection of content. I think this book is worth reading, especially for people who like to think and explore.
