Potter hadn't worked since his father's death, and he didn't think he needed to.

Arriving at the first stop in Africa, the northern Port City of Oran in Northern Algeria, he revived the idea of writing (because Kitt said he was a writer) and was determined to carry it through for the sake of Kitt.

When he rehearsed this idea in his head with great interest, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't written for so long that he wanted to complete a huge work, so he couldn't do it. So Potter planned to start with a diary to record what he saw and felt during his journey. But the reality is that Turner pesters Kit all day, and the daily threesome makes him irritable and difficult to write.

In the end, Potter made up his mind: he was going to plunge headlong into the depths of the desert without a trace. At this point, no one but himself knew that it existed.

Look for the meaning of existence

We often complain that life is too bland, cookie-cutter and boring, and we are eager to live a different life, see different landscapes, and experience different human feelings.

Some people, moving their lips, have not acted in their lives; some people, impulsively, embark on a journey of novelty.

Therefore, the complaining people leave "tomorrow after tomorrow" at the corner of their lips; those who travel turn "tomorrow after tomorrow" into meaningless wandering in a different place.

The French thinker Michel de Montaigne said: "Just as we see that if some idle land is fertile and rich, it will be filled with a thousand kinds of useless weeds", those who live a carefree and idle life will think like useless weeds, aimlessly lost in the wilderness of illusions. ”

<h1>-01- Cowardice in the bones determines that "change" is only a futile effort of "tomorrow and tomorrow" and an escape from reality. </h1>

"Life is like smoking a cigarette. The first few bites you thought were wonderful, and you didn't think that one day it would be exhausted. Then you start taking it for granted. Then you suddenly find that it is almost burned out. At this time, you taste the bitter taste. ”

This is the perception of "Covered Sky" male protagonist Potter Mosby about life. When he tasted the bitter taste, he embarked on a journey to North Africa, eager to find meaning in the untouched Sahara Desert.

Potter Mosby belongs to the typical American mass personality, the material life is good, idle to find a little excitement, and then call it a good name: break free from the shackles of civilization, let life return to its original meaning.

So he took his wife Kit and his wife's lover Turner on a search for the Sahara Desert.

At the beginning of the trip, Porter's vision was to change everything in the past and start anew in the Sahara.

Sometimes, there is a gap between what people want to do and what they actually do.

Therefore, the complaining people leave "tomorrow after tomorrow" at the corner of their lips; those who travel turn "tomorrow after tomorrow" into meaningless wandering in a different place.

The French thinker Michel de Montaigne said: "Just as we see that if some idle land is fertile and rich, it will be filled with a thousand kinds of useless weeds", those who live a carefree and idle life will think like useless weeds, aimlessly lost in the wilderness of illusions. ”

<h1>-01- Cowardice in the bones determines that "change" is only a futile effort of "tomorrow and tomorrow" and an escape from reality. </h1>

"Life is like smoking a cigarette. The first few bites you thought were wonderful, and you didn't think that one day it would be exhausted. Then you start taking it for granted. Then you suddenly find that it is almost burned out. At this time, you taste the bitter taste. ”

This is the perception of "Covered Sky" male protagonist Potter Mosby about life. When he tasted the bitter taste, he embarked on a journey to North Africa, eager to find meaning in the untouched Sahara Desert.

Potter Mosby belongs to the typical American mass personality, the material life is good, idle to find a little excitement, and then call it a good name: break free from the shackles of civilization, let life return to its original meaning.

So he took his wife Kit and his wife's lover Turner on a search for the Sahara Desert.

At the beginning of the trip, Porter's vision was to change everything in the past and start anew in the Sahara.

Sometimes, there is a gap between what people want to do and what they actually do.

marriage

The 12-year marriage has separated Potter and his wife, and he hopes to take advantage of this journey to find his former love.

However, in the face of the original opening of relations between men and women in Africa, he flinched. He is unwilling to bear the emotional responsibility of love between husband and wife, and "temporarily" put aside the idea of repairing the marriage on the pretext that "the timing is not right, the state is not good, the judgment made is ironclad, and tomorrow or after a period of time, things will happen naturally".

Job

Potter hadn't worked since his father's death, and he didn't think he needed to.

Arriving at the first stop in Africa, the northern Port City of Oran in Northern Algeria, he revived the idea of writing (because Kitt said he was a writer) and was determined to carry it through for the sake of Kitt.

When he rehearsed this idea in his head with great interest, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't written for so long that he wanted to complete a huge work, so he couldn't do it. So Potter planned to start with a diary to record what he saw and felt during his journey. But the reality is that Turner pesters Kit all day, and the daily threesome makes him irritable and difficult to write.

In the end, Potter made up his mind: he was going to plunge headlong into the depths of the desert without a trace. At this point, no one but himself knew that it existed.

Look for the meaning of existence

Potter believed that war and civilization had destroyed everything, so he came to the Sahara in search of a meaning that existed far from civilization and as a human being.

He spent two days in Oran, drinking and chatting with a woman who lived in a tent, and then went to Poseif with a mother and son who had just met for a day. In Poseif, Potter unsuccessfully attempts to make love affairs with a blind woman, and then flees to Einkolfa, followed by Bunora and Algiers, in order to get rid of Turner's entanglement with Kitt.

Potter traveled blindly and hurriedly, passing through cities, but never stopped to see and appreciate the meaning that their existence brought to him.

Some people say that everyone wants to live in peace, which one will stir up chaos like Alexander and Caesar?

Obviously, Potter Mosby is such a person — life is too comfortable and smooth, always trying to make some waves and splashes. The only difference is that Alexander and Caesar are in a bloody mess, while Potter dedicates himself to the yellow sand.

Rich, without work, and simple in life, potter became the "culprit" of Potter's tiredness of the city. The envious words of his friends all became a rebuke to him. Thus, out of ease he grew sadness, believing that existence had no value. At least, the presence in civilized cities is worthless.

The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero said, "Sorrow does not exist in nature, but in ideas." ”

Plato said that the world is the shadow of ideas.

Thus, Potter Mosby's grief is a matter of philosophy, a shadow cast by the outer world inward. It comes from urban civilization. For the indigenous peoples of Africa, all they have is life, and the sadness of being separated from life does not exist.

marriage

The 12-year marriage has separated Potter and his wife, and he hopes to take advantage of this journey to find his former love.

However, in the face of the original opening of relations between men and women in Africa, he flinched. He is unwilling to bear the emotional responsibility of love between husband and wife, and "temporarily" put aside the idea of repairing the marriage on the pretext that "the timing is not right, the state is not good, the judgment made is ironclad, and tomorrow or after a period of time, things will happen naturally".

Job

Potter hadn't worked since his father's death, and he didn't think he needed to.

Arriving at the first stop in Africa, the northern Port City of Oran in Northern Algeria, he revived the idea of writing (because Kitt said he was a writer) and was determined to carry it through for the sake of Kitt.

When he rehearsed this idea in his head with great interest, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't written for so long that he wanted to complete a huge work, so he couldn't do it. So Potter planned to start with a diary to record what he saw and felt during his journey. But the reality is that Turner pesters Kit all day, and the daily threesome makes him irritable and difficult to write.

In the end, Potter made up his mind: he was going to plunge headlong into the depths of the desert without a trace. At this point, no one but himself knew that it existed.

Look for the meaning of existence

Potter believed that war and civilization had destroyed everything, so he came to the Sahara in search of a meaning that existed far from civilization and as a human being.

He spent two days in Oran, drinking and chatting with a woman who lived in a tent, and then went to Poseif with a mother and son who had just met for a day. In Poseif, Potter unsuccessfully attempts to make love affairs with a blind woman, and then flees to Einkolfa, followed by Bunora and Algiers, in order to get rid of Turner's entanglement with Kitt.

Potter traveled blindly and hurriedly, passing through cities, but never stopped to see and appreciate the meaning that their existence brought to him.

Some people say that everyone wants to live in peace, which one will stir up chaos like Alexander and Caesar?

Obviously, Potter Mosby is such a person — life is too comfortable and smooth, always trying to make some waves and splashes. The only difference is that Alexander and Caesar are in a bloody mess, while Potter dedicates himself to the yellow sand.

Rich, without work, and simple in life, potter became the "culprit" of Potter's tiredness of the city. The envious words of his friends all became a rebuke to him. Thus, out of ease he grew sadness, believing that existence had no value. At least, the presence in civilized cities is worthless.

The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero said, "Sorrow does not exist in nature, but in ideas." ”

Plato said that the world is the shadow of ideas.

Thus, Potter Mosby's grief is a matter of philosophy, a shadow cast by the outer world inward. It comes from urban civilization. For the indigenous peoples of Africa, all they have is life, and the sadness of being separated from life does not exist.

The ancient Roman poet Lucanus said: Idleness leads to wild thoughts.

There is no doubt that Potter is a spoiled child, who has never known how to cherish, and his heart is always turbulent, full of unrealistic "madness" and "fantasy".

He wants to change, but his natural cowardice makes him lack the courage to change, and he can only constantly hope that tomorrow will be better; he is eager to find the meaning of existence, but he blindly escapes from life, escapes from reality, escapes responsibility, and chases the nothingness of thousands of kilometers away. His journey of search is nothing more than a "tomorrow after tomorrow" years of staggering, a blind rebellion against life, a kind of unpalatable profligacy, a kind of childish recklessness that does not know the height of the sky.

"The Covered Sky" is the middle-aged work of legendary American writer Paul Bowles and his feature-length debut. Bowles is said to have written only four novels in his lifetime, but was described by Time Magazine as "the only writer of that era."

At the beginning of its completion, it was met with the cold eyes of the publisher.

We often complain that life is too bland, cookie-cutter and boring, and we are eager to live a different life, see different landscapes, and experience different human feelings.

Some people, moving their lips, have not acted in their lives; some people, impulsively, embark on a journey of novelty.

Therefore, the complaining people leave "tomorrow after tomorrow" at the corner of their lips; those who travel turn "tomorrow after tomorrow" into meaningless wandering in a different place.

This is the perception of "Covered Sky" male protagonist Potter Mosby about life. When he tasted the bitter taste, he embarked on a journey to North Africa, eager to find meaning in the untouched Sahara Desert.

Potter Mosby belongs to the typical American mass personality, the material life is good, idle to find a little excitement, and then call it a good name: break free from the shackles of civilization, let life return to its original meaning.

So he took his wife Kit and his wife's lover Turner on a search for the Sahara Desert.

Arriving at the first stop in Africa, the northern Port City of Oran in Northern Algeria, he revived the idea of writing (because Kitt said he was a writer) and was determined to carry it through for the sake of Kitt.

When he rehearsed this idea in his head with great interest, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't written for so long that he wanted to complete a huge work, so he couldn't do it. So Potter planned to start with a diary to record what he saw and felt during his journey. But the reality is that Turner pesters Kit all day, and the daily threesome makes him irritable and difficult to write.

In the end, Potter made up his mind: he was going to plunge headlong into the depths of the desert without a trace. At this point, no one but himself knew that it existed.

Look for the meaning of existence

Potter believed that war and civilization had destroyed everything, so he came to the Sahara in search of a meaning that existed far from civilization and as a human being.

He spent two days in Oran, drinking and chatting with a woman who lived in a tent, and then went to Poseif with a mother and son who had just met for a day. In Poseif, Potter unsuccessfully attempts to make love affairs with a blind woman, and then flees to Einkolfa, followed by Bunora and Algiers, in order to get rid of Turner's entanglement with Kitt.

Potter traveled blindly and hurriedly, passing through cities, but never stopped to see and appreciate the meaning that their existence brought to him.

Some people say that everyone wants to live in peace, which one will stir up chaos like Alexander and Caesar?

Obviously, Potter Mosby is such a person — life is too comfortable and smooth, always trying to make some waves and splashes. The only difference is that Alexander and Caesar are in a bloody mess, while Potter dedicates himself to the yellow sand.

Rich, without work, and simple in life, potter became the "culprit" of Potter's tiredness of the city. The envious words of his friends all became a rebuke to him. Thus, out of ease he grew sadness, believing that existence had no value. At least, the presence in civilized cities is worthless.

The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero said, "Sorrow does not exist in nature, but in ideas." ”

Plato said that the world is the shadow of ideas.

Thus, Potter Mosby's grief is a matter of philosophy, a shadow cast by the outer world inward. It comes from urban civilization. For the indigenous peoples of Africa, all they have is life, and the sadness of being separated from life does not exist.

The ancient Roman poet Lucanus said: Idleness leads to wild thoughts.

There is no doubt that Potter is a spoiled child, who has never known how to cherish, and his heart is always turbulent, full of unrealistic "madness" and "fantasy".

He wants to change, but his natural cowardice makes him lack the courage to change, and he can only constantly hope that tomorrow will be better; he is eager to find the meaning of existence, but he blindly escapes from life, escapes from reality, escapes responsibility, and chases the nothingness of thousands of kilometers away. His journey of search is nothing more than a "tomorrow after tomorrow" years of staggering, a blind rebellion against life, a kind of unpalatable profligacy, a kind of childish recklessness that does not know the height of the sky.

<h1>-02- The obscured sky is to maintain the balance between fantasy and reality, and Bowers rehearsed the scene after the balance was broken. </h1>

"The Covered Sky" is the middle-aged work of legendary American writer Paul Bowles and his feature-length debut. Bowles is said to have written only four novels in his lifetime, but was described by Time Magazine as "the only writer of that era."

The book is listed as a 20th-century existentialist literary classic, along with The Outsider and The Unbearable Lightness of Life. At the beginning of its completion, it was met with the cold eyes of the publisher. They thought it was less of a novel and more of a biography, and were reluctant to take risks for profit, and in the end only New Directions Agreed to publish 3,500 copies.

However, it turns out that it is gold, and it always shines. Good works, even after 70 years of dust, still bloom the light of life.

When Bowers wrote the preface to The Obscured Sky in 1998, he wrote at the end of the preface: "Fifty years later, it is already more alive than its author. ”

The famous Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci once commented: "'The Sheltered Sky' is a great novel full of philosophical ideas, a very modern adventure story. ”

"The Outsider" confronts reality with absurdity and defends the reality of existence with resistance. "The Obscured Sky" is a bystander, with a calm, neutral and unwavering gaze, observing people's self-struggle and every step towards surrender in the face of the lack of personal value.

The book covers almost all life issues, such as love, marriage, travel, responsibility, the value of existence, the meaning of life, and death. Bowers, like a ruthless enforcer, tears off our surviving masks, packs, disguises, layers by layer, and then forces us to stand naked in front of the mirror and see them all.

We often complain that life is too bland, cookie-cutter and boring, and we are eager to live a different life, see different landscapes, and experience different human feelings.

Some people, moving their lips, have not acted in their lives; some people, impulsively, embark on a journey of novelty.

Therefore, the complaining people leave "tomorrow after tomorrow" at the corner of their lips; those who travel turn "tomorrow after tomorrow" into meaningless wandering in a different place.

The French thinker Michel de Montaigne said: "Just as we see that if some idle land is fertile and rich, it will be filled with a thousand kinds of useless weeds", those who live a carefree and idle life will think like useless weeds, aimlessly lost in the wilderness of illusions. ”

<h1>-01- Cowardice in the bones determines that "change" is only a futile effort of "tomorrow and tomorrow" and an escape from reality. </h1>

"Life is like smoking a cigarette. The first few bites you thought were wonderful, and you didn't think that one day it would be exhausted. Then you start taking it for granted. Then you suddenly find that it is almost burned out. At this time, you taste the bitter taste. ”

This is the perception of "Covered Sky" male protagonist Potter Mosby about life. When he tasted the bitter taste, he embarked on a journey to North Africa, eager to find meaning in the untouched Sahara Desert.

Potter Mosby belongs to the typical American mass personality, the material life is good, idle to find a little excitement, and then call it a good name: break free from the shackles of civilization, let life return to its original meaning.

So he took his wife Kit and his wife's lover Turner on a search for the Sahara Desert.

At the beginning of the trip, Porter's vision was to change everything in the past and start anew in the Sahara.

Sometimes, there is a gap between what people want to do and what they actually do.

marriage

The 12-year marriage has separated Potter and his wife, and he hopes to take advantage of this journey to find his former love.

However, in the face of the original opening of relations between men and women in Africa, he flinched. He is unwilling to bear the emotional responsibility of love between husband and wife, and "temporarily" put aside the idea of repairing the marriage on the pretext that "the timing is not right, the state is not good, the judgment made is ironclad, and tomorrow or after a period of time, things will happen naturally".

"The Covered Sky" is the middle-aged work of legendary American writer Paul Bowles and his feature-length debut. Bowles is said to have written only four novels in his lifetime, but was described by Time Magazine as "the only writer of that era."

The book is listed as a 20th-century existentialist literary classic, along with The Outsider and The Unbearable Lightness of Life. At the beginning of its completion, it was met with the cold eyes of the publisher. They thought it was less of a novel and more of a biography, and were reluctant to take risks for profit, and in the end only New Directions Agreed to publish 3,500 copies.

However, it turns out that it is gold, and it always shines. Good works, even after 70 years of dust, still bloom the light of life.

When Bowers wrote the preface to The Obscured Sky in 1998, he wrote at the end of the preface: "Fifty years later, it is already more alive than its author. ”

The famous Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci once commented: "'The Sheltered Sky' is a great novel full of philosophical ideas, a very modern adventure story. ”

"The Outsider" confronts reality with absurdity and defends the reality of existence with resistance. "The Obscured Sky" is a bystander, with a calm, neutral and unwavering gaze, observing people's self-struggle and every step towards surrender in the face of the lack of personal value.

The book covers almost all life issues, such as love, marriage, travel, responsibility, the value of existence, the meaning of life, and death. Bowers, like a ruthless enforcer, tears off our surviving masks, packs, disguises, layers by layer, and then forces us to stand naked in front of the mirror and see them all.

The American writer Tobias Wolfe said, "'The Obscured Sky' is like a nightmare; the words of this book are too easy for us to get lost in it, because it hides an unrealistic fear." ”

Bowles is an existentialist writer who is passionate about the wandering, indulgence, and depravity of people after they have lost their self-worth. He always narrated calmly, cruelly laissez-faire, until desperate circumstances, and never tried to reach out to rescue him.

"It is precisely in this that the power of this novel is that it forces us to confront reality—that there is a seductive voice hidden deep within everyone that tells you that the toil of refusing responsibility and refusing to choose will bring great freedom." ”

The three main characters in the novel have three different personalities, but they have one obvious thing in common: escape—escape from reality, escape from responsibility, and escape from the labor of choice.

We often complain that life is too bland, cookie-cutter and boring, and we are eager to live a different life, see different landscapes, and experience different human feelings.

Some people, moving their lips, have not acted in their lives; some people, impulsively, embark on a journey of novelty.

Therefore, the complaining people leave "tomorrow after tomorrow" at the corner of their lips; those who travel turn "tomorrow after tomorrow" into meaningless wandering in a different place.

The French thinker Michel de Montaigne said: "Just as we see that if some idle land is fertile and rich, it will be filled with a thousand kinds of useless weeds", those who live a carefree and idle life will think like useless weeds, aimlessly lost in the wilderness of illusions. ”

<h1>-01- Cowardice in the bones determines that "change" is only a futile effort of "tomorrow and tomorrow" and an escape from reality. </h1>

"Life is like smoking a cigarette. The first few bites you thought were wonderful, and you didn't think that one day it would be exhausted. Then you start taking it for granted. Then you suddenly find that it is almost burned out. At this time, you taste the bitter taste. ”

This is the perception of "Covered Sky" male protagonist Potter Mosby about life. When he tasted the bitter taste, he embarked on a journey to North Africa, eager to find meaning in the untouched Sahara Desert.

Potter Mosby belongs to the typical American mass personality, the material life is good, idle to find a little excitement, and then call it a good name: break free from the shackles of civilization, let life return to its original meaning.

So he took his wife Kit and his wife's lover Turner on a search for the Sahara Desert.

At the beginning of the trip, Porter's vision was to change everything in the past and start anew in the Sahara.

Sometimes, there is a gap between what people want to do and what they actually do.

marriage

The 12-year marriage has separated Potter and his wife, and he hopes to take advantage of this journey to find his former love.

However, in the face of the original opening of relations between men and women in Africa, he flinched. He is unwilling to bear the emotional responsibility of love between husband and wife, and "temporarily" put aside the idea of repairing the marriage on the pretext that "the timing is not right, the state is not good, the judgment made is ironclad, and tomorrow or after a period of time, things will happen naturally".

Job

Potter hadn't worked since his father's death, and he didn't think he needed to.

Arriving at the first stop in Africa, the northern Port City of Oran in Northern Algeria, he revived the idea of writing (because Kitt said he was a writer) and was determined to carry it through for the sake of Kitt.

When he rehearsed this idea in his head with great interest, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't written for so long that he wanted to complete a huge work, so he couldn't do it. So Potter planned to start with a diary to record what he saw and felt during his journey. But the reality is that Turner pesters Kit all day, and the daily threesome makes him irritable and difficult to write.

In the end, Potter made up his mind: he was going to plunge headlong into the depths of the desert without a trace. At this point, no one but himself knew that it existed.

Look for the meaning of existence

Potter believed that war and civilization had destroyed everything, so he came to the Sahara in search of a meaning that existed far from civilization and as a human being.

He spent two days in Oran, drinking and chatting with a woman who lived in a tent, and then went to Poseif with a mother and son who had just met for a day. In Poseif, Potter unsuccessfully attempts to make love affairs with a blind woman, and then flees to Einkolfa, followed by Bunora and Algiers, in order to get rid of Turner's entanglement with Kitt.

Potter traveled blindly and hurriedly, passing through cities, but never stopped to see and appreciate the meaning that their existence brought to him.

Some people say that everyone wants to live in peace, which one will stir up chaos like Alexander and Caesar?

Obviously, Potter Mosby is such a person — life is too comfortable and smooth, always trying to make some waves and splashes. The only difference is that Alexander and Caesar are in a bloody mess, while Potter dedicates himself to the yellow sand.

Rich, without work, and simple in life, potter became the "culprit" of Potter's tiredness of the city. The envious words of his friends all became a rebuke to him. Thus, out of ease he grew sadness, believing that existence had no value. At least, the presence in civilized cities is worthless.

The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero said, "Sorrow does not exist in nature, but in ideas." ”

Plato said that the world is the shadow of ideas.

Thus, Potter Mosby's grief is a matter of philosophy, a shadow cast by the outer world inward. It comes from urban civilization. For the indigenous peoples of Africa, all they have is life, and the sadness of being separated from life does not exist.

The ancient Roman poet Lucanus said: Idleness leads to wild thoughts.

There is no doubt that Potter is a spoiled child, who has never known how to cherish, and his heart is always turbulent, full of unrealistic "madness" and "fantasy".

He wants to change, but his natural cowardice makes him lack the courage to change, and he can only constantly hope that tomorrow will be better; he is eager to find the meaning of existence, but he blindly escapes from life, escapes from reality, escapes responsibility, and chases the nothingness of thousands of kilometers away. His journey of search is nothing more than a "tomorrow after tomorrow" years of staggering, a blind rebellion against life, a kind of unpalatable profligacy, a kind of childish recklessness that does not know the height of the sky.

"The Covered Sky" is the middle-aged work of legendary American writer Paul Bowles and his feature-length debut. Bowles is said to have written only four novels in his lifetime, but was described by Time Magazine as "the only writer of that era."

The book is listed as a 20th-century existentialist literary classic, along with The Outsider and The Unbearable Lightness of Life. At the beginning of its completion, it was met with the cold eyes of the publisher. They thought it was less of a novel and more of a biography, and were reluctant to take risks for profit, and in the end only New Directions Agreed to publish 3,500 copies.

However, it turns out that it is gold, and it always shines. Good works, even after 70 years of dust, still bloom the light of life.

When Bowers wrote the preface to The Obscured Sky in 1998, he wrote at the end of the preface: "Fifty years later, it is already more alive than its author. ”

The famous Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci once commented: "'The Sheltered Sky' is a great novel full of philosophical ideas, a very modern adventure story. ”

"The Outsider" confronts reality with absurdity and defends the reality of existence with resistance. "The Obscured Sky" is a bystander, with a calm, neutral and unwavering gaze, observing people's self-struggle and every step towards surrender in the face of the lack of personal value.

The book covers almost all life issues, such as love, marriage, travel, responsibility, the value of existence, the meaning of life, and death. Bowers, like a ruthless enforcer, tears off our surviving masks, packs, disguises, layers by layer, and then forces us to stand naked in front of the mirror and see them all.

The American writer Tobias Wolfe said, "'The Obscured Sky' is like a nightmare; the words of this book are too easy for us to get lost in it, because it hides an unrealistic fear." ”

Bowles is an existentialist writer who is passionate about the wandering, indulgence, and depravity of people after they have lost their self-worth. He always narrated calmly, cruelly laissez-faire, until desperate circumstances, and never tried to reach out to rescue him.

"It is precisely in this that the power of this novel is that it forces us to confront reality—that there is a seductive voice hidden deep within everyone that tells you that the toil of refusing responsibility and refusing to choose will bring great freedom." ”

The three main characters in the novel have three different personalities, but they have one obvious thing in common: escape—escape from reality, escape from responsibility, and escape from the labor of choice.

Potter was often confused: "When I look up at the sky, I often think that it is some kind of solid, blocking something behind us." He thought the sky was blocking the darkness.

The sky as a shield is a balance, a balance that maintains people's normal lives, reality and fantasy. Once this balance is broken, people fall into the abyss of boundless nothingness and depravity until they are destroyed.

Bowers thoroughly shows us all the possible outcomes after breaking the balance:

Potter longs to be far away from civilization, and the author lets him sleep in a small hard shell on a high sand hill in the Sahara - Spar's hospital; Kit is afraid of the signs, eager to escape from choice and dominate, the author lets her wander forever in the depths of the desert, completely irrational; Turner is cynical, the author makes him with guilt and uneasiness, and has been wandering on the strange road of pursuing Jitter and can't help himself.

We often complain that life is too bland, cookie-cutter and boring, and we are eager to live a different life, see different landscapes, and experience different human feelings.

Some people, moving their lips, have not acted in their lives; some people, impulsively, embark on a journey of novelty.

Therefore, the complaining people leave "tomorrow after tomorrow" at the corner of their lips; those who travel turn "tomorrow after tomorrow" into meaningless wandering in a different place.

The French thinker Michel de Montaigne said: "Just as we see that if some idle land is fertile and rich, it will be filled with a thousand kinds of useless weeds", those who live a carefree and idle life will think like useless weeds, aimlessly lost in the wilderness of illusions. ”

<h1>-01- Cowardice in the bones determines that "change" is only a futile effort of "tomorrow and tomorrow" and an escape from reality. </h1>

"Life is like smoking a cigarette. The first few bites you thought were wonderful, and you didn't think that one day it would be exhausted. Then you start taking it for granted. Then you suddenly find that it is almost burned out. At this time, you taste the bitter taste. ”

This is the perception of "Covered Sky" male protagonist Potter Mosby about life. When he tasted the bitter taste, he embarked on a journey to North Africa, eager to find meaning in the untouched Sahara Desert.

Potter Mosby belongs to the typical American mass personality, the material life is good, idle to find a little excitement, and then call it a good name: break free from the shackles of civilization, let life return to its original meaning.

So he took his wife Kit and his wife's lover Turner on a search for the Sahara Desert.

At the beginning of the trip, Porter's vision was to change everything in the past and start anew in the Sahara.

Sometimes, there is a gap between what people want to do and what they actually do.

marriage

The 12-year marriage has separated Potter and his wife, and he hopes to take advantage of this journey to find his former love.

However, in the face of the original opening of relations between men and women in Africa, he flinched. He is unwilling to bear the emotional responsibility of love between husband and wife, and "temporarily" put aside the idea of repairing the marriage on the pretext that "the timing is not right, the state is not good, the judgment made is ironclad, and tomorrow or after a period of time, things will happen naturally".

Job

Potter hadn't worked since his father's death, and he didn't think he needed to.

Arriving at the first stop in Africa, the northern Port City of Oran in Northern Algeria, he revived the idea of writing (because Kitt said he was a writer) and was determined to carry it through for the sake of Kitt.

When he rehearsed this idea in his head with great interest, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't written for so long that he wanted to complete a huge work, so he couldn't do it. So Potter planned to start with a diary to record what he saw and felt during his journey. But the reality is that Turner pesters Kit all day, and the daily threesome makes him irritable and difficult to write.

In the end, Potter made up his mind: he was going to plunge headlong into the depths of the desert without a trace. At this point, no one but himself knew that it existed.

Look for the meaning of existence

Potter believed that war and civilization had destroyed everything, so he came to the Sahara in search of a meaning that existed far from civilization and as a human being.

He spent two days in Oran, drinking and chatting with a woman who lived in a tent, and then went to Poseif with a mother and son who had just met for a day. In Poseif, Potter unsuccessfully attempts to make love affairs with a blind woman, and then flees to Einkolfa, followed by Bunora and Algiers, in order to get rid of Turner's entanglement with Kitt.

Potter traveled blindly and hurriedly, passing through cities, but never stopped to see and appreciate the meaning that their existence brought to him.

Some people say that everyone wants to live in peace, which one will stir up chaos like Alexander and Caesar?

Obviously, Potter Mosby is such a person — life is too comfortable and smooth, always trying to make some waves and splashes. The only difference is that Alexander and Caesar are in a bloody mess, while Potter dedicates himself to the yellow sand.

Rich, without work, and simple in life, potter became the "culprit" of Potter's tiredness of the city. The envious words of his friends all became a rebuke to him. Thus, out of ease he grew sadness, believing that existence had no value. At least, the presence in civilized cities is worthless.

The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero said, "Sorrow does not exist in nature, but in ideas." ”

Plato said that the world is the shadow of ideas.

Thus, Potter Mosby's grief is a matter of philosophy, a shadow cast by the outer world inward. It comes from urban civilization. For the indigenous peoples of Africa, all they have is life, and the sadness of being separated from life does not exist.

The ancient Roman poet Lucanus said: Idleness leads to wild thoughts.

There is no doubt that Potter is a spoiled child, who has never known how to cherish, and his heart is always turbulent, full of unrealistic "madness" and "fantasy".

He wants to change, but his natural cowardice makes him lack the courage to change, and he can only constantly hope that tomorrow will be better; he is eager to find the meaning of existence, but he blindly escapes from life, escapes from reality, escapes responsibility, and chases the nothingness of thousands of kilometers away. His journey of search is nothing more than a "tomorrow after tomorrow" years of staggering, a blind rebellion against life, a kind of unpalatable profligacy, a kind of childish recklessness that does not know the height of the sky.

He is unwilling to bear the emotional responsibility of love between husband and wife, and "temporarily" put aside the idea of repairing the marriage on the pretext that "the timing is not right, the state is not good, the judgment made is ironclad, and tomorrow or after a period of time, things will happen naturally".

Job

Potter hadn't worked since his father's death, and he didn't think he needed to.

Arriving at the first stop in Africa, the northern Port City of Oran in Northern Algeria, he revived the idea of writing (because Kitt said he was a writer) and was determined to carry it through for the sake of Kitt.

When he rehearsed this idea in his head with great interest, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't written for so long that he wanted to complete a huge work, so he couldn't do it. So Potter planned to start with a diary to record what he saw and felt during his journey. But the reality is that Turner pesters Kit all day, and the daily threesome makes him irritable and difficult to write.

In the end, Potter made up his mind: he was going to plunge headlong into the depths of the desert without a trace. At this point, no one but himself knew that it existed.

Look for the meaning of existence

Potter believed that war and civilization had destroyed everything, so he came to the Sahara in search of a meaning that existed far from civilization and as a human being.

He spent two days in Oran, drinking and chatting with a woman who lived in a tent, and then went to Poseif with a mother and son who had just met for a day. In Poseif, Potter unsuccessfully attempts to make love affairs with a blind woman, and then flees to Einkolfa, followed by Bunora and Algiers, in order to get rid of Turner's entanglement with Kitt.

Potter traveled blindly and hurriedly, passing through cities, but never stopped to see and appreciate the meaning that their existence brought to him.

Some people say that everyone wants to live in peace, which one will stir up chaos like Alexander and Caesar?

Obviously, Potter Mosby is such a person — life is too comfortable and smooth, always trying to make some waves and splashes. The only difference is that Alexander and Caesar are in a bloody mess, while Potter dedicates himself to the yellow sand.

Rich, without work, and simple in life, potter became the "culprit" of Potter's tiredness of the city. The envious words of his friends all became a rebuke to him. Thus, out of ease he grew sadness, believing that existence had no value. At least, the presence in civilized cities is worthless.

The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero said, "Sorrow does not exist in nature, but in ideas." ”

Plato said that the world is the shadow of ideas.

Thus, Potter Mosby's grief is a matter of philosophy, a shadow cast by the outer world inward. It comes from urban civilization. For the indigenous peoples of Africa, all they have is life, and the sadness of being separated from life does not exist.

The ancient Roman poet Lucanus said: Idleness leads to wild thoughts.

There is no doubt that Potter is a spoiled child, who has never known how to cherish, and his heart is always turbulent, full of unrealistic "madness" and "fantasy".

He wants to change, but his natural cowardice makes him lack the courage to change, and he can only constantly hope that tomorrow will be better; he is eager to find the meaning of existence, but he blindly escapes from life, escapes from reality, escapes responsibility, and chases the nothingness of thousands of kilometers away. His journey of search is nothing more than a "tomorrow after tomorrow" years of staggering, a blind rebellion against life, a kind of unpalatable profligacy, a kind of childish recklessness that does not know the height of the sky.

<h1>-02- The obscured sky is to maintain the balance between fantasy and reality, and Bowers rehearsed the scene after the balance was broken. </h1>

"The Covered Sky" is the middle-aged work of legendary American writer Paul Bowles and his feature-length debut. Bowles is said to have written only four novels in his lifetime, but was described by Time Magazine as "the only writer of that era."

The book is listed as a 20th-century existentialist literary classic, along with The Outsider and The Unbearable Lightness of Life. At the beginning of its completion, it was met with the cold eyes of the publisher. They thought it was less of a novel and more of a biography, and were reluctant to take risks for profit, and in the end only New Directions Agreed to publish 3,500 copies.

However, it turns out that it is gold, and it always shines. Good works, even after 70 years of dust, still bloom the light of life.

When Bowers wrote the preface to The Obscured Sky in 1998, he wrote at the end of the preface: "Fifty years later, it is already more alive than its author. ”

The famous Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci once commented: "'The Sheltered Sky' is a great novel full of philosophical ideas, a very modern adventure story. ”

"The Outsider" confronts reality with absurdity and defends the reality of existence with resistance. "The Obscured Sky" is a bystander, with a calm, neutral and unwavering gaze, observing people's self-struggle and every step towards surrender in the face of the lack of personal value.

The book covers almost all life issues, such as love, marriage, travel, responsibility, the value of existence, the meaning of life, and death. Bowers, like a ruthless enforcer, tears off our surviving masks, packs, disguises, layers by layer, and then forces us to stand naked in front of the mirror and see them all.

The American writer Tobias Wolfe said, "'The Obscured Sky' is like a nightmare; the words of this book are too easy for us to get lost in it, because it hides an unrealistic fear." ”

Bowles is an existentialist writer who is passionate about the wandering, indulgence, and depravity of people after they have lost their self-worth. He always narrated calmly, cruelly laissez-faire, until desperate circumstances, and never tried to reach out to rescue him.

"It is precisely in this that the power of this novel is that it forces us to confront reality—that there is a seductive voice hidden deep within everyone that tells you that the toil of refusing responsibility and refusing to choose will bring great freedom." ”

The three main characters in the novel have three different personalities, but they have one obvious thing in common: escape—escape from reality, escape from responsibility, and escape from the labor of choice.

Potter was often confused: "When I look up at the sky, I often think that it is some kind of solid, blocking something behind us." He thought the sky was blocking the darkness.

The sky as a shield is a balance, a balance that maintains people's normal lives, reality and fantasy. Once this balance is broken, people fall into the abyss of boundless nothingness and depravity until they are destroyed.

Bowers thoroughly shows us all the possible outcomes after breaking the balance:

Potter longs to be far away from civilization, and the author lets him sleep in a small hard shell on a high sand hill in the Sahara - Spar's hospital; Kit is afraid of the signs, eager to escape from choice and dominate, the author lets her wander forever in the depths of the desert, completely irrational; Turner is cynical, the author makes him with guilt and uneasiness, and has been wandering on the strange road of pursuing Jitter and can't help himself.

I read The Obscured Sky three times, a year apart. And every time I read it, it brings me the same feelings – sadness and fear.

<h1>-03- The meaning of existence is written by ourselves. </h1>

Human nature, which cannot withstand inquiry and testing, is doomed to fragment once it penetrates the "covered sky". Bowles places the story in the Sahara Desert, which resembles a huge mirror in the sky, so that human nature is exposed.

Seeing the end of life after Bowles showed us to escape from reality, escape from responsibility, and escape from choice, I suddenly realized: life can actually be a little calmer and easier. The meaning of existence can be found in life without the need to seek distant alien yellow sand.

We often complain that life is too bland, cookie-cutter and boring, and we are eager to live a different life, see different landscapes, and experience different human feelings.

Some people, moving their lips, have not acted in their lives; some people, impulsively, embark on a journey of novelty.

Therefore, the complaining people leave "tomorrow after tomorrow" at the corner of their lips; those who travel turn "tomorrow after tomorrow" into meaningless wandering in a different place.

The French thinker Michel de Montaigne said: "Just as we see that if some idle land is fertile and rich, it will be filled with a thousand kinds of useless weeds", those who live a carefree and idle life will think like useless weeds, aimlessly lost in the wilderness of illusions. ”

<h1>-01- Cowardice in the bones determines that "change" is only a futile effort of "tomorrow and tomorrow" and an escape from reality. </h1>

"Life is like smoking a cigarette. The first few bites you thought were wonderful, and you didn't think that one day it would be exhausted. Then you start taking it for granted. Then you suddenly find that it is almost burned out. At this time, you taste the bitter taste. ”

This is the perception of "Covered Sky" male protagonist Potter Mosby about life. When he tasted the bitter taste, he embarked on a journey to North Africa, eager to find meaning in the untouched Sahara Desert.

Potter Mosby belongs to the typical American mass personality, the material life is good, idle to find a little excitement, and then call it a good name: break free from the shackles of civilization, let life return to its original meaning.

So he took his wife Kit and his wife's lover Turner on a search for the Sahara Desert.

At the beginning of the trip, Porter's vision was to change everything in the past and start anew in the Sahara.

Sometimes, there is a gap between what people want to do and what they actually do.

However, it turns out that it is gold, and it always shines. Good works, even after 70 years of dust, still bloom the light of life.

When Bowers wrote the preface to The Obscured Sky in 1998, he wrote at the end of the preface: "Fifty years later, it is already more alive than its author. ”

The famous Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci once commented: "'The Sheltered Sky' is a great novel full of philosophical ideas, a very modern adventure story. ”

"The Outsider" confronts reality with absurdity and defends the reality of existence with resistance. "The Obscured Sky" is a bystander, with a calm, neutral and unwavering gaze, observing people's self-struggle and every step towards surrender in the face of the lack of personal value.

The book covers almost all life issues, such as love, marriage, travel, responsibility, the value of existence, the meaning of life, and death. Bowers, like a ruthless enforcer, tears off our surviving masks, packs, disguises, layers by layer, and then forces us to stand naked in front of the mirror and see them all.

The American writer Tobias Wolfe said, "'The Obscured Sky' is like a nightmare; the words of this book are too easy for us to get lost in it, because it hides an unrealistic fear." ”

Bowles is an existentialist writer who is passionate about the wandering, indulgence, and depravity of people after they have lost their self-worth. He always narrated calmly, cruelly laissez-faire, until desperate circumstances, and never tried to reach out to rescue him.

"It is precisely in this that the power of this novel is that it forces us to confront reality—that there is a seductive voice hidden deep within everyone that tells you that the toil of refusing responsibility and refusing to choose will bring great freedom." ”

The three main characters in the novel have three different personalities, but they have one obvious thing in common: escape—escape from reality, escape from responsibility, and escape from the labor of choice.

Potter was often confused: "When I look up at the sky, I often think that it is some kind of solid, blocking something behind us." He thought the sky was blocking the darkness.

The sky as a shield is a balance, a balance that maintains people's normal lives, reality and fantasy. Once this balance is broken, people fall into the abyss of boundless nothingness and depravity until they are destroyed.

Bowers thoroughly shows us all the possible outcomes after breaking the balance:

Potter longs to be far away from civilization, and the author lets him sleep in a small hard shell on a high sand hill in the Sahara - Spar's hospital; Kit is afraid of the signs, eager to escape from choice and dominate, the author lets her wander forever in the depths of the desert, completely irrational; Turner is cynical, the author makes him with guilt and uneasiness, and has been wandering on the strange road of pursuing Jitter and can't help himself.

I read The Obscured Sky three times, a year apart. And every time I read it, it brings me the same feelings – sadness and fear.

<h1>-03- The meaning of existence is written by ourselves. </h1>

Human nature, which cannot withstand inquiry and testing, is doomed to fragment once it penetrates the "covered sky". Bowles places the story in the Sahara Desert, which resembles a huge mirror in the sky, so that human nature is exposed.

Seeing the end of life after Bowles showed us to escape from reality, escape from responsibility, and escape from choice, I suddenly realized: life can actually be a little calmer and easier. The meaning of existence can be found in life without the need to seek distant alien yellow sand.

Man is an accidental existence in the universe, and the contingency at the beginning of life can be shaped by the self and covered by self-achievement, in other words, the meaning of existence is written and created by ourselves.

I personally agree very much with the mindful practice of a Zen master and living in the here and now.

This is the present moment, the present life, work, and everything that is closely related to me is the meaning of my existence.

We often complain that life is too bland, cookie-cutter and boring, and we are eager to live a different life, see different landscapes, and experience different human feelings.

Some people, moving their lips, have not acted in their lives; some people, impulsively, embark on a journey of novelty.

Therefore, the complaining people leave "tomorrow after tomorrow" at the corner of their lips; those who travel turn "tomorrow after tomorrow" into meaningless wandering in a different place.

The French thinker Michel de Montaigne said: "Just as we see that if some idle land is fertile and rich, it will be filled with a thousand kinds of useless weeds", those who live a carefree and idle life will think like useless weeds, aimlessly lost in the wilderness of illusions. ”

<h1>-01- Cowardice in the bones determines that "change" is only a futile effort of "tomorrow and tomorrow" and an escape from reality. </h1>

"Life is like smoking a cigarette. The first few bites you thought were wonderful, and you didn't think that one day it would be exhausted. Then you start taking it for granted. Then you suddenly find that it is almost burned out. At this time, you taste the bitter taste. ”

This is the perception of "Covered Sky" male protagonist Potter Mosby about life. When he tasted the bitter taste, he embarked on a journey to North Africa, eager to find meaning in the untouched Sahara Desert.

Potter Mosby belongs to the typical American mass personality, the material life is good, idle to find a little excitement, and then call it a good name: break free from the shackles of civilization, let life return to its original meaning.

So he took his wife Kit and his wife's lover Turner on a search for the Sahara Desert.

At the beginning of the trip, Porter's vision was to change everything in the past and start anew in the Sahara.

Sometimes, there is a gap between what people want to do and what they actually do.

marriage

The 12-year marriage has separated Potter and his wife, and he hopes to take advantage of this journey to find his former love.

However, in the face of the original opening of relations between men and women in Africa, he flinched. He is unwilling to bear the emotional responsibility of love between husband and wife, and "temporarily" put aside the idea of repairing the marriage on the pretext that "the timing is not right, the state is not good, the judgment made is ironclad, and tomorrow or after a period of time, things will happen naturally".

Job

Potter hadn't worked since his father's death, and he didn't think he needed to.

Arriving at the first stop in Africa, the northern Port City of Oran in Northern Algeria, he revived the idea of writing (because Kitt said he was a writer) and was determined to carry it through for the sake of Kitt.

When he rehearsed this idea in his head with great interest, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't written for so long that he wanted to complete a huge work, so he couldn't do it. So Potter planned to start with a diary to record what he saw and felt during his journey. But the reality is that Turner pesters Kit all day, and the daily threesome makes him irritable and difficult to write.

In the end, Potter made up his mind: he was going to plunge headlong into the depths of the desert without a trace. At this point, no one but himself knew that it existed.

Look for the meaning of existence

Potter believed that war and civilization had destroyed everything, so he came to the Sahara in search of a meaning that existed far from civilization and as a human being.

He spent two days in Oran, drinking and chatting with a woman who lived in a tent, and then went to Poseif with a mother and son who had just met for a day. In Poseif, Potter unsuccessfully attempts to make love affairs with a blind woman, and then flees to Einkolfa, followed by Bunora and Algiers, in order to get rid of Turner's entanglement with Kitt.

Potter traveled blindly and hurriedly, passing through cities, but never stopped to see and appreciate the meaning that their existence brought to him.

Some people say that everyone wants to live in peace, which one will stir up chaos like Alexander and Caesar?

Obviously, Potter Mosby is such a person — life is too comfortable and smooth, always trying to make some waves and splashes. The only difference is that Alexander and Caesar are in a bloody mess, while Potter dedicates himself to the yellow sand.

Rich, without work, and simple in life, potter became the "culprit" of Potter's tiredness of the city. The envious words of his friends all became a rebuke to him. Thus, out of ease he grew sadness, believing that existence had no value. At least, the presence in civilized cities is worthless.

The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero said, "Sorrow does not exist in nature, but in ideas." ”

Plato said that the world is the shadow of ideas.

Thus, Potter Mosby's grief is a matter of philosophy, a shadow cast by the outer world inward. It comes from urban civilization. For the indigenous peoples of Africa, all they have is life, and the sadness of being separated from life does not exist.

The ancient Roman poet Lucanus said: Idleness leads to wild thoughts.

There is no doubt that Potter is a spoiled child, who has never known how to cherish, and his heart is always turbulent, full of unrealistic "madness" and "fantasy".

He wants to change, but his natural cowardice makes him lack the courage to change, and he can only constantly hope that tomorrow will be better; he is eager to find the meaning of existence, but he blindly escapes from life, escapes from reality, escapes responsibility, and chases the nothingness of thousands of kilometers away. His journey of search is nothing more than a "tomorrow after tomorrow" years of staggering, a blind rebellion against life, a kind of unpalatable profligacy, a kind of childish recklessness that does not know the height of the sky.

<h1>-02- The obscured sky is to maintain the balance between fantasy and reality, and Bowers rehearsed the scene after the balance was broken. </h1>

"The Covered Sky" is the middle-aged work of legendary American writer Paul Bowles and his feature-length debut. Bowles is said to have written only four novels in his lifetime, but was described by Time Magazine as "the only writer of that era."

The book is listed as a 20th-century existentialist literary classic, along with The Outsider and The Unbearable Lightness of Life.

Human nature, which cannot withstand inquiry and testing, is doomed to fragment once it penetrates the "covered sky". Bowles places the story in the Sahara Desert, which resembles a huge mirror in the sky, so that human nature is exposed.

Seeing the end of life after Bowles showed us to escape from reality, escape from responsibility, and escape from choice, I suddenly realized: life can actually be a little calmer and easier. The meaning of existence can be found in life without the need to seek distant alien yellow sand.

Man is an accidental existence in the universe, and the contingency at the beginning of life can be shaped by the self and covered by self-achievement, in other words, the meaning of existence is written and created by ourselves.

I personally agree very much with the mindful practice of a Zen master and living in the here and now.

This is the present moment, the present life, work, and everything that is closely related to me is the meaning of my existence.

The meaning of existence that I understand is not far away, just simply enjoying every day, eating when eating, sleeping when sleeping, and drinking tea when drinking tea. Focus on everything and every breath in the moment.

A Zen master once said that when he was a little Shami, the last thing he liked was to wash the dishes. But he had to do it. Because, it's his life, his responsibility.

He recalls that it was only when the dishes were not washed that it was very unpleasant to wash the dishes. And when he really focused on washing the dishes, his heart was happy.

We often complain that life is too bland, cookie-cutter and boring, and we are eager to live a different life, see different landscapes, and experience different human feelings.

Some people, moving their lips, have not acted in their lives; some people, impulsively, embark on a journey of novelty.

Therefore, the complaining people leave "tomorrow after tomorrow" at the corner of their lips; those who travel turn "tomorrow after tomorrow" into meaningless wandering in a different place.

The French thinker Michel de Montaigne said: "Just as we see that if some idle land is fertile and rich, it will be filled with a thousand kinds of useless weeds", those who live a carefree and idle life will think like useless weeds, aimlessly lost in the wilderness of illusions. ”

<h1>-01- Cowardice in the bones determines that "change" is only a futile effort of "tomorrow and tomorrow" and an escape from reality. </h1>

"Life is like smoking a cigarette. The first few bites you thought were wonderful, and you didn't think that one day it would be exhausted. Then you start taking it for granted. Then you suddenly find that it is almost burned out. At this time, you taste the bitter taste. ”

This is the perception of "Covered Sky" male protagonist Potter Mosby about life. When he tasted the bitter taste, he embarked on a journey to North Africa, eager to find meaning in the untouched Sahara Desert.

Potter Mosby belongs to the typical American mass personality, the material life is good, idle to find a little excitement, and then call it a good name: break free from the shackles of civilization, let life return to its original meaning.

So he took his wife Kit and his wife's lover Turner on a search for the Sahara Desert.

At the beginning of the trip, Porter's vision was to change everything in the past and start anew in the Sahara.

Sometimes, there is a gap between what people want to do and what they actually do.

marriage

The 12-year marriage has separated Potter and his wife, and he hopes to take advantage of this journey to find his former love.

However, in the face of the original opening of relations between men and women in Africa, he flinched. He is unwilling to bear the emotional responsibility of love between husband and wife, and "temporarily" put aside the idea of repairing the marriage on the pretext that "the timing is not right, the state is not good, the judgment made is ironclad, and tomorrow or after a period of time, things will happen naturally".

Job

Potter hadn't worked since his father's death, and he didn't think he needed to.

Arriving at the first stop in Africa, the northern Port City of Oran in Northern Algeria, he revived the idea of writing (because Kitt said he was a writer) and was determined to carry it through for the sake of Kitt.

When he rehearsed this idea in his head with great interest, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't written for so long that he wanted to complete a huge work, so he couldn't do it. So Potter planned to start with a diary to record what he saw and felt during his journey. But the reality is that Turner pesters Kit all day, and the daily threesome makes him irritable and difficult to write.

In the end, Potter made up his mind: he was going to plunge headlong into the depths of the desert without a trace. At this point, no one but himself knew that it existed.

Look for the meaning of existence

Potter believed that war and civilization had destroyed everything, so he came to the Sahara in search of a meaning that existed far from civilization and as a human being.

He spent two days in Oran, drinking and chatting with a woman who lived in a tent, and then went to Poseif with a mother and son who had just met for a day. In Poseif, Potter unsuccessfully attempts to make love affairs with a blind woman, and then flees to Einkolfa, followed by Bunora and Algiers, in order to get rid of Turner's entanglement with Kitt.

Potter traveled blindly and hurriedly, passing through cities, but never stopped to see and appreciate the meaning that their existence brought to him.

Some people say that everyone wants to live in peace, which one will stir up chaos like Alexander and Caesar?

Obviously, Potter Mosby is such a person — life is too comfortable and smooth, always trying to make some waves and splashes. The only difference is that Alexander and Caesar are in a bloody mess, while Potter dedicates himself to the yellow sand.

Rich, without work, and simple in life, potter became the "culprit" of Potter's tiredness of the city. The envious words of his friends all became a rebuke to him. Thus, out of ease he grew sadness, believing that existence had no value. At least, the presence in civilized cities is worthless.

The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero said, "Sorrow does not exist in nature, but in ideas." ”

Plato said that the world is the shadow of ideas.

Thus, Potter Mosby's grief is a matter of philosophy, a shadow cast by the outer world inward. It comes from urban civilization. For the indigenous peoples of Africa, all they have is life, and the sadness of being separated from life does not exist.

The ancient Roman poet Lucanus said: Idleness leads to wild thoughts.

There is no doubt that Potter is a spoiled child, who has never known how to cherish, and his heart is always turbulent, full of unrealistic "madness" and "fantasy".

He wants to change, but his natural cowardice makes him lack the courage to change, and he can only constantly hope that tomorrow will be better; he is eager to find the meaning of existence, but he blindly escapes from life, escapes from reality, escapes responsibility, and chases the nothingness of thousands of kilometers away. His journey of search is nothing more than a "tomorrow after tomorrow" years of staggering, a blind rebellion against life, a kind of unpalatable profligacy, a kind of childish recklessness that does not know the height of the sky.

<h1>-02- The obscured sky is to maintain the balance between fantasy and reality, and Bowers rehearsed the scene after the balance was broken. </h1>

"The Covered Sky" is the middle-aged work of legendary American writer Paul Bowles and his feature-length debut. Bowles is said to have written only four novels in his lifetime, but was described by Time Magazine as "the only writer of that era."

The book is listed as a 20th-century existentialist literary classic, along with The Outsider and The Unbearable Lightness of Life. At the beginning of its completion, it was met with the cold eyes of the publisher. They thought it was less of a novel and more of a biography, and were reluctant to take risks for profit, and in the end only New Directions Agreed to publish 3,500 copies.

However, it turns out that it is gold, and it always shines. Good works, even after 70 years of dust, still bloom the light of life.

When Bowers wrote the preface to The Obscured Sky in 1998, he wrote at the end of the preface: "Fifty years later, it is already more alive than its author. ”

The famous Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci once commented: "'The Sheltered Sky' is a great novel full of philosophical ideas, a very modern adventure story. ”

"The Outsider" confronts reality with absurdity and defends the reality of existence with resistance. "The Obscured Sky" is a bystander, with a calm, neutral and unwavering gaze, observing people's self-struggle and every step towards surrender in the face of the lack of personal value.

The book covers almost all life issues, such as love, marriage, travel, responsibility, the value of existence, the meaning of life, and death. Bowers, like a ruthless enforcer, tears off our surviving masks, packs, disguises, layers by layer, and then forces us to stand naked in front of the mirror and see them all.

The American writer Tobias Wolfe said, "'The Obscured Sky' is like a nightmare; the words of this book are too easy for us to get lost in it, because it hides an unrealistic fear." ”

Bowles is an existentialist writer who is passionate about the wandering, indulgence, and depravity of people after they have lost their self-worth. He always narrated calmly, cruelly laissez-faire, until desperate circumstances, and never tried to reach out to rescue him.

"It is precisely in this that the power of this novel is that it forces us to confront reality—that there is a seductive voice hidden deep within everyone that tells you that the toil of refusing responsibility and refusing to choose will bring great freedom." ”

The three main characters in the novel have three different personalities, but they have one obvious thing in common: escape—escape from reality, escape from responsibility, and escape from the labor of choice.

Potter was often confused: "When I look up at the sky, I often think that it is some kind of solid, blocking something behind us." He thought the sky was blocking the darkness.

The sky as a shield is a balance, a balance that maintains people's normal lives, reality and fantasy. Once this balance is broken, people fall into the abyss of boundless nothingness and depravity until they are destroyed.

Bowers thoroughly shows us all the possible outcomes after breaking the balance:

Potter longs to be far away from civilization, and the author lets him sleep in a small hard shell on a high sand hill in the Sahara - Spar's hospital; Kit is afraid of the signs, eager to escape from choice and dominate, the author lets her wander forever in the depths of the desert, completely irrational; Turner is cynical, the author makes him with guilt and uneasiness, and has been wandering on the strange road of pursuing Jitter and can't help himself.

I read The Obscured Sky three times, a year apart. And every time I read it, it brings me the same feelings – sadness and fear.

Then, when we actually enjoy the snacks and teas, we will think about what to do next, so that the delicious taste of the snacks and the pleasure of enjoying this delicious taste will disappear.

This is the present moment, the present life, work, and everything that is closely related to me is the meaning of my existence.

The meaning of existence that I understand is not far away, just simply enjoying every day, eating when eating, sleeping when sleeping, and drinking tea when drinking tea. Focus on everything and every breath in the moment.

A Zen master once said that when he was a little Shami, the last thing he liked was to wash the dishes. But he had to do it. Because, it's his life, his responsibility.

He recalls that it was only when the dishes were not washed that it was very unpleasant to wash the dishes. And when he really focused on washing the dishes, his heart was happy.

He reminded people that if they always think about the unpleasant thing of washing dishes, they will be perfunctory or do not plan to start in order to rush to success, and their hearts will only blindly avoid, eager to eat snacks and drink tea. Then, when we actually enjoy the snacks and teas, we will think about what to do next, so that the delicious taste of the snacks and the pleasure of enjoying this delicious taste will disappear. It's like Potter Mosby, who runs all the way and chases all the way, but finds nothing.

Life is like washing dishes. We wash the dishes just to wash the dishes themselves, to fully feel every moment of the dishes. Just as we live only for life itself, we feel the vividness of life and the solid existence of human beings, not to escape or resist. In this way, there will be no regrets and regrets left.

Time is progressive, the universe is flowing, and our lives are constantly in the middle of this change. Every minute and second our bodies, the ground under our feet, and the air we breathe are different and completely new, so if we can enjoy every day, we are enjoying the novelty of life and the meaning of existence.

We often complain that life is too bland, cookie-cutter and boring, and we are eager to live a different life, see different landscapes, and experience different human feelings.

Some people, moving their lips, have not acted in their lives; some people, impulsively, embark on a journey of novelty.

Therefore, the complaining people leave "tomorrow after tomorrow" at the corner of their lips; those who travel turn "tomorrow after tomorrow" into meaningless wandering in a different place.

The French thinker Michel de Montaigne said: "Just as we see that if some idle land is fertile and rich, it will be filled with a thousand kinds of useless weeds", those who live a carefree and idle life will think like useless weeds, aimlessly lost in the wilderness of illusions. ”

<h1>-01- Cowardice in the bones determines that "change" is only a futile effort of "tomorrow and tomorrow" and an escape from reality. </h1>

"Life is like smoking a cigarette. The first few bites you thought were wonderful, and you didn't think that one day it would be exhausted. Then you start taking it for granted. Then you suddenly find that it is almost burned out. At this time, you taste the bitter taste. ”

This is the perception of "Covered Sky" male protagonist Potter Mosby about life. When he tasted the bitter taste, he embarked on a journey to North Africa, eager to find meaning in the untouched Sahara Desert.

Potter Mosby belongs to the typical American mass personality, the material life is good, idle to find a little excitement, and then call it a good name: break free from the shackles of civilization, let life return to its original meaning.

So he took his wife Kit and his wife's lover Turner on a search for the Sahara Desert.

At the beginning of the trip, Porter's vision was to change everything in the past and start anew in the Sahara.

Sometimes, there is a gap between what people want to do and what they actually do.

marriage

The 12-year marriage has separated Potter and his wife, and he hopes to take advantage of this journey to find his former love.

However, in the face of the original opening of relations between men and women in Africa, he flinched. He is unwilling to bear the emotional responsibility of love between husband and wife, and "temporarily" put aside the idea of repairing the marriage on the pretext that "the timing is not right, the state is not good, the judgment made is ironclad, and tomorrow or after a period of time, things will happen naturally".

Job

Potter hadn't worked since his father's death, and he didn't think he needed to.

Arriving at the first stop in Africa, the northern Port City of Oran in Northern Algeria, he revived the idea of writing (because Kitt said he was a writer) and was determined to carry it through for the sake of Kitt.

When he rehearsed this idea in his head with great interest, he felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't written for so long that he wanted to complete a huge work, so he couldn't do it. So Potter planned to start with a diary to record what he saw and felt during his journey. But the reality is that Turner pesters Kit all day, and the daily threesome makes him irritable and difficult to write.

In the end, Potter made up his mind: he was going to plunge headlong into the depths of the desert without a trace. At this point, no one but himself knew that it existed.

Look for the meaning of existence

Potter believed that war and civilization had destroyed everything, so he came to the Sahara in search of a meaning that existed far from civilization and as a human being.

He spent two days in Oran, drinking and chatting with a woman who lived in a tent, and then went to Poseif with a mother and son who had just met for a day. In Poseif, Potter unsuccessfully attempts to make love affairs with a blind woman, and then flees to Einkolfa, followed by Bunora and Algiers, in order to get rid of Turner's entanglement with Kitt.

Potter traveled blindly and hurriedly, passing through cities, but never stopped to see and appreciate the meaning that their existence brought to him.

Some people say that everyone wants to live in peace, which one will stir up chaos like Alexander and Caesar?

Obviously, Potter Mosby is such a person — life is too comfortable and smooth, always trying to make some waves and splashes. The only difference is that Alexander and Caesar are in a bloody mess, while Potter dedicates himself to the yellow sand.

Rich, without work, and simple in life, potter became the "culprit" of Potter's tiredness of the city. The envious words of his friends all became a rebuke to him. Thus, out of ease he grew sadness, believing that existence had no value. At least, the presence in civilized cities is worthless.

The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero said, "Sorrow does not exist in nature, but in ideas." ”

Plato said that the world is the shadow of ideas.

Thus, Potter Mosby's grief is a matter of philosophy, a shadow cast by the outer world inward. It comes from urban civilization. For the indigenous peoples of Africa, all they have is life, and the sadness of being separated from life does not exist.

The ancient Roman poet Lucanus said: Idleness leads to wild thoughts.

There is no doubt that Potter is a spoiled child, who has never known how to cherish, and his heart is always turbulent, full of unrealistic "madness" and "fantasy".

He wants to change, but his natural cowardice makes him lack the courage to change, and he can only constantly hope that tomorrow will be better; he is eager to find the meaning of existence, but he blindly escapes from life, escapes from reality, escapes responsibility, and chases the nothingness of thousands of kilometers away. His journey of search is nothing more than a "tomorrow after tomorrow" years of staggering, a blind rebellion against life, a kind of unpalatable profligacy, a kind of childish recklessness that does not know the height of the sky.

<h1>-02- The obscured sky is to maintain the balance between fantasy and reality, and Bowers rehearsed the scene after the balance was broken. </h1>

"The Covered Sky" is the middle-aged work of legendary American writer Paul Bowles and his feature-length debut. Bowles is said to have written only four novels in his lifetime, but was described by Time Magazine as "the only writer of that era."

The book is listed as a 20th-century existentialist literary classic, along with The Outsider and The Unbearable Lightness of Life. At the beginning of its completion, it was met with the cold eyes of the publisher. They thought it was less of a novel and more of a biography, and were reluctant to take risks for profit, and in the end only New Directions Agreed to publish 3,500 copies.

However, it turns out that it is gold, and it always shines. Good works, even after 70 years of dust, still bloom the light of life.

When Bowers wrote the preface to The Obscured Sky in 1998, he wrote at the end of the preface: "Fifty years later, it is already more alive than its author. ”

The famous Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci once commented: "'The Sheltered Sky' is a great novel full of philosophical ideas, a very modern adventure story. ”

"The Outsider" confronts reality with absurdity and defends the reality of existence with resistance. "The Obscured Sky" is a bystander, with a calm, neutral and unwavering gaze, observing people's self-struggle and every step towards surrender in the face of the lack of personal value.

The book covers almost all life issues, such as love, marriage, travel, responsibility, the value of existence, the meaning of life, and death. Bowers, like a ruthless enforcer, tears off our surviving masks, packs, disguises, layers by layer, and then forces us to stand naked in front of the mirror and see them all.

The American writer Tobias Wolfe said, "'The Obscured Sky' is like a nightmare; the words of this book are too easy for us to get lost in it, because it hides an unrealistic fear." ”

Bowles is an existentialist writer who is passionate about the wandering, indulgence, and depravity of people after they have lost their self-worth. He always narrated calmly, cruelly laissez-faire, until desperate circumstances, and never tried to reach out to rescue him.

"It is precisely in this that the power of this novel is that it forces us to confront reality—that there is a seductive voice hidden deep within everyone that tells you that the toil of refusing responsibility and refusing to choose will bring great freedom." ”

The three main characters in the novel have three different personalities, but they have one obvious thing in common: escape—escape from reality, escape from responsibility, and escape from the labor of choice.

Potter was often confused: "When I look up at the sky, I often think that it is some kind of solid, blocking something behind us." He thought the sky was blocking the darkness.

The sky as a shield is a balance, a balance that maintains people's normal lives, reality and fantasy. Once this balance is broken, people fall into the abyss of boundless nothingness and depravity until they are destroyed.

Bowers thoroughly shows us all the possible outcomes after breaking the balance:

Potter longs to be far away from civilization, and the author lets him sleep in a small hard shell on a high sand hill in the Sahara - Spar's hospital; Kit is afraid of the signs, eager to escape from choice and dominate, the author lets her wander forever in the depths of the desert, completely irrational; Turner is cynical, the author makes him with guilt and uneasiness, and has been wandering on the strange road of pursuing Jitter and can't help himself.

I read The Obscured Sky three times, a year apart. And every time I read it, it brings me the same feelings – sadness and fear.

<h1>-03- The meaning of existence is written by ourselves. </h1>

Human nature, which cannot withstand inquiry and testing, is doomed to fragment once it penetrates the "covered sky". Bowles places the story in the Sahara Desert, which resembles a huge mirror in the sky, so that human nature is exposed.

Seeing the end of life after Bowles showed us to escape from reality, escape from responsibility, and escape from choice, I suddenly realized: life can actually be a little calmer and easier. The meaning of existence can be found in life without the need to seek distant alien yellow sand.

Man is an accidental existence in the universe, and the contingency at the beginning of life can be shaped by the self and covered by self-achievement, in other words, the meaning of existence is written and created by ourselves.

I personally agree very much with the mindful practice of a Zen master and living in the here and now.

This is the present moment, the present life, work, and everything that is closely related to me is the meaning of my existence.

The meaning of existence that I understand is not far away, just simply enjoying every day, eating when eating, sleeping when sleeping, and drinking tea when drinking tea. Focus on everything and every breath in the moment.
