Diary chat: Go to the Tron-World Network to see the author from here, who was once the only million-dollar alliance leader in his book, he is a little well-known but not well-known enough, and he finds that it doesn't seem to be very good.

Getting used to this place, it is inevitable to compare, people are easy to get used to, unless the other side is particularly outstanding, otherwise it is still used to the original place

Although there are many young passers-by who come and go, whether they are readers or writers, they should be stupid or stupid, smart or smart, and they are more simple and quick to talk to the smart.

If you only write a book for your own use, it will be too difficult, because with a million words or more, only a literary genius or a person with top talent can do it, otherwise it will look familiar.

So that author has written 4 books, and it's hard to break through the current pattern, because there are too many imitations that come and go. Yesterday, a stupid passer-by said that I have money and write books, and the gods have money to seal the pen, in fact, the books I wrote have not been in me so far, and they have all ordered books.

In short, it's just that I like books, and I can only know that writing is really mind-consuming, and plagiarism is not counted. Some of them also do a little bit of bi (disadvantage) to match the results, which is really another bittersweet thing.

If you stay in any environment for a long time, you can always see some clues! Life is life, it is wonderful to say that it is not, whether to say it or not.

Oops! I forgot to buy a book about Dream Into-Shenji, it's really a hassle to have a bookstore here! I'm just curious what else he can talk about? I read a book called Yongsheng before, from beginning to end. Only this special impression is left, and the fight is endless.

Recently, I've been reading Mu Xin's literary memoirs, and I'm a master of literary thinking! I used to see Mu Xin's 2 words and I was fart, I was not interested, my name was not my style, I accidentally bought his book, and I flipped it twice, only to know that I was a master!

Introducing the Demon Hero's faction

One of the guardians of the Demon Hero, Proust

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was a French stream-of-consciousness writer.

His father was a famous doctor. The mother was Jewish. Faith in Roman Catholicism. First wheezing attack at the age of nine. As a result, he often missed classes, but when he studied philosophy in his youth, his literary brilliance gradually came out.

He enlisted in the army in 1889 and began writing for magazines after his discharge in 1890. Graduated from college. Become a librarian. However, due to deterioration in health, he suffered from severe asthma and could not touch the air outside the house. Without leaving home, I started writing novels.

Proust was introverted and sensitive, very attached to his mother, and in his youth he frequented the salons of high society, and was a regular in the salons of Parisian ladies, and was familiar with the various characters of high society.

When he writes, he believes that the subject matter is not important, but how the "objective world" is reflected in the "subjective mind". Through his special narrative style, he creates a unique personal world.

His narrative is interrupted, and his novels are mixed with a great deal of discussion, association, and psychological analysis, and a sleepless night can be described in 40 pages, and a three-hour party can be used in 190 pages.

Time can be laid out infinitely, nature can also be compressed at will, and the past, present, and future can be reversed, overlapped, and interpenetrated in the stream of consciousness.

In 1896 he published his first novel, Joy and Time. His father died in 1903 and his mother in 1905. The death of his parents prompted him to trace his childhood through writing, and most scholars believe that he conceived and wrote "Reminiscences of the Lost Years" at this time.

At the end of 1913, the first part of "Reminiscences of the Lost Years" was published, "To the Swan's Side", and the second part was published the following year.

In the autumn of 1922, Proust was critically ill with pneumonia, and he refused to be treated by doctors, and he starved himself to a cure, eating only a small amount of fruit and ice cream. It is said that when Proust was dying on November 18, he sent a chauffeur to the Ritz Hotel to buy his favorite cold beer.

He spent his last energy on the revision of the draft of "The Female Prisoner". Before Proust's death in 1922, three books were published. "The Female Prisoner" and "The Female Fugitive" were published one after another, "Albertina's Whereabouts" and "The Time Reappeared", and it was not until 1927 that they were published in their entirety, with a total of 15 volumes and 3,200 pages. This book has been hailed as a masterpiece of French literature.

The second of them, "In the Shadow of a Maiden", won the Prix Goncourt in France.

Proust's characteristic is that he meticulously depicts every perception, every character, every allegory, and in his books you can feel the flowing realism, from his childhood all the way to his youth, whether it is a city, there are traces of the characters.

John Ruskin is thought to have had a great influence on him, laying the foundation for him to stream his thoughts intuitively.

Proust was also very concerned with the concept of "change", and in "Reminiscences", he described the decline of the French aristocracy and the rise of the middle class during the French Third Republic.

"Reminiscences of the Lost Years" is also translated as "Chasing the Passing Time", "Reminiscing Like Water", and "Tracing the Past".

The full text consists of 7 volumes, namely: "On the Swann Side", "By the Girls", "On the Guermant Side", "Sodom and Gommour", "The Female Prisoner", "The Female Fugitive", and "The Time Returned".

The work delicately portrays the French high society and literati in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, shifting from simply describing human society to analyzing human psychological emotions, completing the first mature analysis of human emotions in literary works, opening a precedent for "stream of consciousness" novels, and becoming a symbol of the development of a new literary form in the history of literature.

The overall structure of the work is the narrator's retrospective of the past experienced, and this retrospective is a kind of struggle against forgetting. At the same time, this work is the first work to describe the birth of a work.

Proust believed that human life only forms a "real life" in memory, and that "the life in memory is more realistic than the real life in the place at that time", and Andrew and Moroya mentioned in the preface that "the only real paradise is the paradise that people have lost", and "the happy years are the lost years." 」

"Reminiscences of the Lost Years" is a huge volume, more than 4,000 pages, more than 2 million words, euphemistic and tortuous, extremely delicate, difficult to read and difficult to translate, some experts believe that we should read the fifth volume first, and then look back at the first volume.

Proust's brother Robert smiled and said, "If you want to read "Reminiscences of the Lost Years", you have to get seriously ill or break your leg, or how much time will you have?"

When the first volume of Remembrance of the Lost Years was published, many publishers refused to publish it, Andre Gide, the famous writer of the Review Nouvelle de France, refused to recommend the novel, and Alfered and Ambro of the Orange publishing company read the manuscript and were puzzled, "Why do you have to write in the beginning 30 pages that you can't sleep?"

Therefore, Proust had to pay for the publication of the book out of his own pocket.

In 1913, "On the Swann Side" was published, and the editor-in-chief of the "Review of Nova Française" and the poet Rivière strongly recommended it, causing a heated discussion, and Gide graciously admitted his mistake and wrote a letter to Proust apologizing.

In 1919, "By the Side of the Maiden" was published, and the response was initially mediocre, but then he won the "Prix Goncourt" (PrixGoncourt), and Proust began to make a name for himself.

In 1922, the second volume of Sodom and Gommour was printed at the New French Review Agency. Proust died in the same year, but fortunately by this time his novels were all finished.

In 1923, The Female Prisoner was published at the Neue Française Review, in 1925 The Woman Fugitive and Albertina Missing, and in 1927 the book was published.

"Reminiscences of the Lost Years" has been hailed as one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, and it was a difficult task for Stephen and Black Rain to adapt these seven huge novels into 12 comic books at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

The second part of the first volume of the novel, "On Swan's Side," "Swan's Love" is often published separately. Its main content is the love story between Charles, Swann and Odette, De, and Cressie. This section is short and independent, so it is considered to be the best choice for the first reading of Reminiscences of the Lost Years, and is used as an important reading material in French or philosophy classes in some schools in France.

The book comes from an uncanny synthesis that combines the cohesion of a mystic, the skill of a prose master, the sharpness of a satirist, the erudition of a scholar, and the paranoid self-consciousness in a single autobiographical work. (To be continued......)
