In order to facilitate readers' observation and appreciation, it is published in the form of English-Chinese comparison, so that readers can fully appreciate the charm and beauty of English and American essays at a quick glance.

The representative work of Fernando Pessoa, a Portuguese national treasure writer and master of European modernism, was lonely during his lifetime but made a sensation after his death. He shocked the European literary world with his posthumous manuscript "The Book of Disquiet". The author's lonely ravings during his lifetime are disturbing and thought-provoking, reaching deep into his heart. Loneliness written with life, a pillow book dedicated to every lonely person. Pessoa lived a lonely life with a monotonous life and a sensitive heart. He created a spiritual universe with elegant and philosophical words, leading himself to transcend the ordinary life and embrace a transparent and clear world.
