This is the story of three parallel worlds that exist in the same time and space. They rise together, alternate with each other, share weal and woe, and depend on each other for life and death. The first world belongs to ants. They build civilization in the soil and compose a magnificent epic at our picnic place. The second is human society. If an anthill is like a miniature human society, then human society is also equivalent to a magnificent anthill. The third world is the biosphere, which is the sum of all life, a habitat full of infinite knowledge and mysteries, and the common home of thousands of species. In "Anthill," Wilson tells the coming-of-age story of an American boy named Rafe Cody. In order to escape the conflicts between his parents, little Cody often fled to the Nokobe Lake area near his home, where he observed and studied various animals and plants, and gradually grew into a little naturalist. When he graduated from college, Cody completed his graduation thesis using anthills as a research object. When he learned that the Nokobe Lake area might be destroyed by real estate development companies, Cody chose to enter Harvard Law School for further study, became an excellent lawyer, and successfully defended the ecological environment of the lake area using legal weapons. The entire novel can be divided into three main lines, namely anthill, human society and the entire ecosystem. Wilson's description of the rise and fall of ant colonies and tribal wars is comparable to "Homer's Epic", and his portrayal of human families and society by analyzing anthills has paved a unique, almost spectacle-like path for us to understand human society.

"Demian" is one of Hesse's masterpieces. It uses a lyrical style and delicate writing to describe the young Sinclair's journey of pursuing himself, firmly becoming himself, and exploring his own destiny. This psychological novel can be said to be Hesse's iconic and monumental masterpiece. Sinclair, who was born and grew up in the "light world", accidentally discovered a completely different "another world". The chaos and darkness there made him anxious and confused, and he fell into the disaster caused by lies. At this time, a young man named Demian appeared and took him out of the swamp. From then on, he began his lonely journey to find himself. In the years that followed, "Demian" appeared in different identities and became his guide every time he was searching alone and making difficult decisions. German literary master Thomas Mann commented: "This is a work that hits the nerves of the times with its extremely accurate description. A whole generation of young people are convinced that a spokesperson comes from the depths of their lives, and they are grateful and fascinated by him. Everyone's life is a journey to self, an attempt on a road, a quiet call of a trail. ." Speaking of Hesse, Paulo Coelho said: "Herman Hesse has already felt the inner turmoil of our generation, the inherent need to find his own way in youth; this need makes each of us demand what is naturally ours: our own life. This kind of prophetic vision will surely inspire people in the future."
