Essays of Bacon [EPUB ebook] 

Francis Bacon (1561–1626) is the greatest philosopher and litterateur of the British Renaissance, who is "the real ancestor of British materialism and the whole modern experimental science".He is not only remarkable in literature and philosophy, but also in the field of social science and natural science. He is praised as "the tongue of law" and "the light of science".The Essays written by Bacon is a start point of English essay literature, with a total of fifty-eight essays, which have become one of the greatest prose works in the history of world literature with its concise language, graceful writing, thorough reasoning and many aphorisms.Shelley, a great British poet, once praised Bacon in his famous A Defence of Poesie and Poems:"Lord Bacon is a poet.His language has a sweet and solemn rhythm that satisfies our senses, as the wisdom of his philosophy satisfies our intellect, which is almost superhuman wisdom; the tone of his article is magnificent to shock the limitations of your mind and take your heart to pour into the universe that it always resonates with." The Essays of Bacon translated by Mr. Pu Long not only includes the "analytic edition", that is, Complete Works of Essay, which analyzes each essay one by one, but also contains the brief translation of the other two important works by Bacon, namely The New Organon and The New Atlantis. With a book in hand, we can enjoy wisdom and senses as if we have traveled thousands of miles away.
