This book contains a selection of "lonely" works by twenty-six famous masters from the East and West, including Nietzsche, Hesse, Thoreau, Goethe, Kafka, Schopenhauer, and Tagore. The genres of the selected articles are diverse and eclectic; the writing styles are colorful and brilliant, some are concise and concise, some are obscure and weird, some are simple and casual, some are sonorous and passionate. Here, loneliness means asking for but not getting it, losing the one you love forever, being in a foreign land, and taking off the disguise; all kinds of loneliness are both terrible and respectable, hateful and amiable. Each one is derived from the author's unique vision; between the lines, the fearless pursuit of "independence" and the immortal response to "I" by centuries of ideal intellectuals are revealed.
