I especially look forward to the wanderer who drinks a lot of wine and eats meat. He opens the sliding door of a strange restaurant with a clatter, strides forward without hesitation, pulls out the heavy sword from his waist and puts it beside him, roaring: "Boss, eat!" Eating should be a happy and stress-free thing, putting aside complex psychological struggles. , And put aside futile Internet searches, no matter whether it tastes good or not, and whatever you want to eat, you can bravely open the sliding door of a strange restaurant and shout: "Boss, eat!" The anxiety when entering a strange restaurant, the excitement when waiting for the food to be served, the supreme satisfaction when chewing, the myriad flavors slowly seep into the heart from the tip of the tongue. A person can be like a vagabond, eating what he likes freely and living happily every day. In fact, it is a small happiness to be able to eat what you like when you are hungry. Soft and smooth abalone slices, Chinese cold noodles full of summer flavor, rustic rice with mashed yam, grilled bamboo fish for bed and breakfast, fried noodles with beer amidst the chirping of cicadas, hot soup noodles covered with vegetables, sukiyaki dipped in raw eggs... Of course, when encountering unpalatable food, the author also comes with powerful barrage and complaints. "The Wanderer Gourmet" is a book about the small blessings brought by food. It is a collection of delicious and interesting essays. Masayuki Kusumi sincerely describes the touching story between him and food, and the descriptions are as vivid as comics. It is easy for people to have the urge to go out to eat alone, and to eat whatever they want to eat immediately. This idea is really great! From today on, be a happy person!

In 1572, he began writing the "Collected Essays", which is called "a collection of all kinds of knowledge in the sixteenth century". Among sixteenth-century writers, few are as revered and accepted by modern people as Montaigne. He was an intellectual authority and critic in France before the Enlightenment, and an encyclopedic scholar who conducted dispassionate studies of various national cultures, especially Western culture. Judging from his thoughts and feelings, people seem to regard him as a modern man in his time. His prose, mainly philosophical essays, is world-famous for its rich ideological connotation and is known as the "treasure house of ideas."

"The Complete Essays of Bacon" was written by Francis Bacon (1561-1626), the greatest philosopher and writer during the British Renaissance. "The Complete Essays of Bacon" is the pioneer work of British essay literature, with a total of fifty-eight short essays. With its concise language, beautiful writing, thorough reasoning, and repeated aphorisms, it has become one of the greatest prose works in the history of world literature. Shelley, the great British poet, once praised in his famous "Poetic Defence": "Lord Bacon is a poet. His language has a sweet and solemn rhythm, which satisfies our senses, just as the almost superhuman wisdom in his philosophy satisfies our intelligence. The tone of his articles, magnificent and majestic, impacts the limitations of your heart, and pours your heart together, rushing towards the universe with which it will always resonate."
