I know my own smallness
- Reading Rhapsody of Lyme
Text/Reed Eyebrows
To be honest, this book is very tiring to read, super crazy, because I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all, it's really not the right type for me to read.
In the spirit of what type of book to dabble in, in order to broaden my horizons and expand my own pattern, I started this "Rhapsody of Lymes" without measuring my own strength. The book was lying on my desk, about a month, and when I had to open it, I had to read it hard, and sure enough, I just wanted to close the book quickly, away from my study. But evasion and distance are not the way, I can only force myself to turn page by page, even if I can't understand it at all, but I am still very good at turning the book, and it took me a day to finally finish the book.
Although I can't understand it, it doesn't mean that others can't understand it. Stanisław Lem, the author of the second introduction, said that Lem was a famous science fiction writer and philosopher, known as the "Borges of science fiction", and the New York Times commented that he "deserves a Nobel Prize in Literature". His works have also been translated into more than 50 languages and sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. Wow, everyone's world is so magnificent, but I, the standard layman, are still salivating and complaining that I don't understand. The first illustration in the book and the postcard in the book are the same paintings as the 1966 photograph of Lem with the toy astronauts, and the postcard is printed on the back with the words, "I am concerned with the fate of mankind as a whole, compared to which the fate of the individual is too small", and at this moment I also read my own smallness, squeezed out of the "small" hidden under the leather robe - intellectual connotations, professional field and spiritual ignorance, blankness and barrenness.
People are self-aware, and the science fiction lesson is good, even if you start from scratch, even if you only learn one of them. In fact, I have not read the science fiction novels of other writers, such as Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem", Frank Herbert's "Dune" six-part, Michael Clayton's "Jurassic Park" and so on, but the hardest thing to chew is the "Lyme Rhapsody" in front of you , a science fiction work that is the least like a novel. Five rhapsodys, five postmodern fables, Lem unleashed his thoughts in a unique laugh and angry scolding, and Liu Cixin's evaluation of this is very pertinent: "He has a wonderful imagination, which is truly unique." "The bottom line of science fiction writers is to achieve that no one has me, people have me, and it is too cool to be expressed, and it shocks the hearts of all the officials."
After reading the closed book, there was a sentence on the waist cover that caught my attention: "Turn to page 135, just read 28 words and make your face fever!" "Page 135? Hurry up and open it again, there is a title on page 135 entitled "The First Speech of the Clay Man - The Triple Nature of Man", hurry down and read it -

To find out what happens next, dear readers, please read it for yourself and try the reading pleasure of fever on your face!
