Books are the ladder of human progress. Comparing books to the ladder of human progress means that human progress cannot be separated from books, which provide a lot of knowledge and experience for human beings, so we must read more books and read them well.
This famous saying comes from Gorky's mouth. Books are the wealth created by all mankind in history, the best embodiment of human wisdom, will and ideals, the material carrier for human to express ideas, spread knowledge, accumulate culture and transmit experience, the treasure house for storing wisdom handed down from generation to generation, and the most important carrier and preservation method of human knowledge.
Historical background:
Maxim Gorky is a writer, poet, critic, political critic and scholar in the former Soviet Union. Gorky's works have been introduced to China since the early 20th century. Many novels, plays and works have not only been translated into Chinese, but also edited and published into single-volume and multi-volume Gorky's works. His literary creation and literary theory had an important influence on the development of China's new literature after the May 4th Movement.
Books are the carrier of human knowledge, the crystallization of human wisdom and the ladder of human progress. Reading has many advantages, such as obtaining information, increasing knowledge, broadening horizons, cultivating temperament and improving thinking ability.
