"The Record of Panic" is a collection of late essays by Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa, all of which are fragments of "fake diary". It is one of the author's masterpieces. It was a work that had been lost for a long time and was later collected and compiled by many Pessoa research experts. The author's stance changes from time to time in his essays. Sometimes he is a spiritual person, and sometimes he becomes a material person... This is the perseverance in the changes, the similarities in the differences, the firmness in the contradictions, and the clarity in the incomprehensible. It is this kind of spiritual temperament and this kind of breakthrough to the world alone that makes Pessoa praised by contemporary critics as "the core figure of European modernism", "an outstanding classic writer" and the writer "who can best deepen people's hearts".
