Thoreau stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the world. He wanted to find an authentic state of existence and a more poetic life in the tranquility of nature. The book "Walden" records in detail the writer's daily life and thoughts for two years. He cultivated land next to his cabin, planted in spring and harvested in autumn, and was self-sufficient. He is a son of nature. He admires nature, makes friends with nature, talks with lakes, forests and birds, observes animals and plants in the forest, plays the flute on the boat, fishes by the lake, and writes down his observations and thoughts in the cabin at night. He pursued spiritual life and paid attention to the growth of the soul. He proudly declared: "Everyone is the king of his own kingdom. Compared with this kingdom, the Tsarist Empire is just a humble country, like a small snowball in the ice and snow." Thoreau tells us with his practical actions: Most of the luxuries people pursue, most of the so-called comfort of life, are not only unnecessary, but also a great hindrance to human progress. "Walden" describes the author's deep thinking and self-reshaping process in a simple life. The writing style is quiet and tranquil, thought-provoking, and has a calming power.

The travel notes of Victor Hugo, the author of "Notre Dame de Paris" and "Les Misérables", follow in Hugo's footsteps and travel across Europe to experience the real Europe from the perspective of a literary giant. Hugo is considered to be one of the greatest writers in the history of world literature. He is also a talented painter. Perhaps it is because of his too bright light in the field of literature that he has obscured his painting talent. During his travels, he liked to record everything he saw and heard, and tell his friends and family. The gaps and back of the letter paper provided him with space for painting. Hugo's paintings are similar to Chinese ink paintings, focusing on interest and spiritual resemblance. "Hugo's Travels" contains the words of Hugo's travels to various parts of the European continent for decades, from which we can get a glimpse of the European style in the 19th century and Hugo's personal interests.
