As we all know, Haruki Murakami is recognized as the "runner" of the Nobel Prize in Literature, in fact, there is a famous British novelist, he is the "uncrowned king" of the Nobel Prize in Literature, he is Graham Green. It is recorded that the novelist was nominated 21 times until his death, but did not win a single Nobel Prize in Literature, which is unfair. His novels are unique, with ups and downs in their stories, and he is recognized as a master storyteller. Today, we will enjoy the ten aphorisms of the great British writer Graham Green, and experience its spiritual connotation and the charm of words.
The great Márquez once said that one of his favorite writers was Graham Green, who failed to win a Nobel Prize in Literature, which upset many writers, and even some of the Nobel Prize judges were puzzled, especially as Russell said, "Green's failure to win a literary prize is a major mistake in the history of the Nobel Prize." Although it did not reach the highest hall of the literary prize, the history of literature could not hide the light radiated by his works. So why, so famous, the work is so charming and artistic value, has been selected for the shortlist 21 times, but Green can not "climb to the top"?
It is said that There are three reasons why Green failed to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, one is because his novels are so best-selling that the judges feel that he is not short of money; the other is because Green has written too many similar mystery novels, and such novels are not elegant, so the judges feel that he is not a serious writer; the third is because of geographical problems, he lives in the United Kingdom, but the jury evaluates which region to win the award in terms of global geography. That is to say, if it is always writers from the European region who win awards, this is not possible. So, for different reasons, Green always rubbed shoulders with the Nobel Prize in Literature.
It is undeniable that Green is a talented and prolific writer who pays attention to the self-consciousness and inner anxiety of human beings in the 20th century, he goes deep into people's hearts, pays great attention to social and moral issues, and at the same time deeply awakens to the future and destiny of mankind, which has also become his own sense of responsibility and mission. It is worth mentioning that Green's creative methods are eclectic, he integrates traditional realism techniques with the diverse forms of artistic display at that time, forming his own unique literary characteristics, so that the works have readability and vitality, and are deeply loved by readers.
Green's creation is very rigorous, paying attention to the arrangement of the plot, and in terms of the story background and plot of the novel, it can be described as painstaking. Of course, the background of his novel is different, but no matter where the story takes place, it exudes a gloomy and dull atmosphere, which is a distinctive feature of the atmosphere of his novel. In terms of environmental description, Green uses the traditional typical principles of realism, and at the same time integrates the personality of the author into the environment, so that realism is full of diversified characteristics, so that the work has the character of the author, that is to say, when you see the work, you can know the author, and you can foresee what kind of work you can see when you see the author.
In addition, Green's novel has a major breakthrough, he adopted film techniques, this is because of his strong interest in movies, so that interest and writing skillfully combined, especially the narrative method, film art traces are very obvious, so that the characters in the novel personality color is more distinct, so that the characters' psychological activities are more infectious. For another example, the movement scene of Green's characters has a sense of lens, making the text expression more tense, while making the scene seem to be active on paper, the image is profound and very infectious, and the character image is more vivid and lifelike, making the reader more addicted and intoxicating.
Moreover, Green is one of the most dream-loving writers among modern novelists, and he reveals the desires and fears of the characters by writing the dreams of the characters, and through the dreams, he can have a complementary role in the characters, which is also another way of visual expression. Of course, how can there be less imagery in writing novels, in Green's pen, the imagery fully reflects the author's beliefs. For example, there are many "vultures" in his works, symbolizing decay and demise, and the same names and special numbers in different works also have special meanings, rather than simple settings, which shows the rigor and profundity of his writing.
In short, Green's novel style is consistent, the language is concise, the imagery is profound, the technique is ingenious, the plot is rigorous, the background is rich, the environment is distinct, and various writing techniques show his literary talent. According to records, Graham Green died on April 3, 1991, a legendary life, and his works are deeply rooted in people's hearts and loved. Today is his 31st anniversary, we will appreciate his ten aphorisms, experience the author's personality and the profound connotation behind the words, I believe you will be touched.
