Why so many people,
Love "Remembrance of The Age of Water"?
How high is Proust's Remembrance of a Watery Age in France?
Simply put, it is equivalent to Cao Xueqin's "Dream of the Red Chamber" in China.
His genius, "transcended Freud and saw the depths of love and lust".
Once the characters in the book fall in love, the degree of empathy caused by them is no less than that of our own personal experience.
Those who do not love us are like missing people, and although we know that there is no more hope, we still look forward to it. Wait for a little movement, a little noise.
Not to mention the "Love of Swann" in the first volume, when the elegant aristocratic prince Swan falls in love with the infamous lover Odette, and its "sexual jealousy is absolutely unprecedented in the history of literature".
Proust's "ability to shape characters poses a practical challenge to Shakespeare."
In his eyes, the top group of people in society is a criminal gang, a group of unparalleled conspirators.
His appreciation of ceremonies focused on the depiction of lower servants.
A servant, a few strokes jumped on the paper:
"Ouch! "My God," sighed Françoise. She couldn't hear anyone suffering, and even when the news of misfortune reached her ears of someone she didn't know at all, she would sigh again and again.
There are more than 2,000 characters in the novel, each of which comes to life, as if Proust had pierced their souls.
Before the age of 35, this "insignificant snob, playboy, and celebrity" lingered in salons and high society; after the age of 35, he "casually captured the most astonishing secrets of the decadent era."
Thus, Benjamin, one of Europe's most famous thinkers of the early 20th century, said: "Proust was chosen to mature the nineteenth century for memory." ”
At the moment of awakening, he exclaimed: "There are so many things around me, in me, and I have never noticed!" ”
In the twilight of his short life, he reread his work like any other person re-read letters, "completely and utterly devoted himself to literature."
There is nothing else to do but this.
So many years later, the authoritative book critic Bloom said that only Proust's Remembrance of a Time like water can compete with Ulysses and Finnegan The Night's Watch.
"Remembrance of The Age of Water" has never been difficult,
It's just beautiful
Why is it said that "Remembrance is Like Water Years", once you look into it, you can't put it down?
Because, in the novel, "what awaits us is eternity and ecstasy."
Proust let the world appear before his eyes and then showed us that "Remembrance of the Watery Years" was his life.
"On the Side of Swan's House" "echoes Balzac a hundred years ago", the opening of the dream is hugely detailed;
In "Beside the Girls", Marcel plunges into the depths of memory, making Duras feel deeply " When I read, I am Proust ");
In the fourth volume of "Sodom and Gomore", Marcel falls in love with Albertina, the shame, contradiction and sweetness of love, happiness, betrayal and sin are all revealed;
There are also "Over There at The Garmont House", "Female Prisoner", "Female Fugitive" and "Time to Reappear".
Pick a few pages, proust's descriptions are fascinating and unbeatable.
On top of the rich themes, delicate narratives and keen insights, there is a rich layer of beauty and endless charm.
First, there is the beauty of language. For example, he wrote about the big clock of the village chime:
Leisurely and punctual, loose and orderly, both careless and far-sighted.
The rhetoric is beautiful, quiet, and the picture is full of sense.
Second, there is the classical beauty of European civilization. For example, the interior decoration of aristocratic families:
The closets, cabinets, and wallpaper painted with foliage patterns emit a more crisp, delicate, famous, and drier fragrance than dim sum. When I returned to my room, I could not help but indulge in the sweet, dull, indelible, rotten fruit-like smell in the middle of the flower cloth bedspread.
The atmosphere of the fetish, brilliant swirling, such as thick ink and heavy brush strokes.
Again, there is the beauty of contemplation. Many things that we feel but cannot say, Proust describes accurately and evocatively:
Life is just a series of isolated moments, and by memory and fantasy, many meanings emerge, then disappear, disappear and then emerge.
Multiple beauty, concrete, vivid, complex, image, give "Reminiscence like water years" vigorous vitality.
And time, self, love, death, and memory...
The complex things and motifs are intertwined with each other, and the longitude and latitude are dense.
Like a beautiful symphony, the melody is beautiful; like a solemn cathedral, gorgeous and beautiful.
