Books are the ladder of human progress. ——-Gorky

Books are the ladder of human progress. Comparing books to the ladder of human progress means that human progress cannot be separated from books. Books provide humans with a lot of knowledge and experience. So we must read more and read good books.

This famous saying came from Gorky. Books are the wealth created jointly by all mankind in history. They are the best embodiment of human wisdom, will and ideals. They are the material carrier for human beings to express their thoughts, spread knowledge, accumulate culture and pass on experience. They are the storage of wisdom passed down from generation to generation. The treasure house is the most important carrier and preservation method of human knowledge.

Books are a necessity for human beings to reach a new level, paving the way for human progress. It is difficult to imagine how human beings could have progressed to modern civilized society without books. Books can enable us to open the treasure house of knowledge and acquire more knowledge. The development of society and the progress of human civilization are inseparable from books. Great men in history passed down their thoughts and spirits to future generations through books.
