Read "The Sun Also Rises"

For Hemingway, the great novelist who is well-known, there are many well-known works, such as "The Old Man and the Sea", "Farewell to weapons", and the book I just finished reading, "The Sun Also Rises", which is also a shame to say, many works are waiting for me to read, for the wasted years, wasted time, regret, in the game, wandering in the youth and blame myself. Now I am only racing against the clock in the cracks of various times, seeking minute by minute reading time. After reading "The Sun Also Rises", there is a big difference from what I speculated, and I thought that the theme would be some anti-aggression struggle in World War I or World War II, and after great sacrifice and effort, it finally achieved a great victory. Haha, the storyline was completely unexpected by me, but I was very happy to read it. Hemingway's text gives me the feeling that the content is concise, the chapters are clearly separated, his language is not too long content, the scenes portrayed, especially the sense of picture, in addition, Hemingway's description of natural landscapes, more emphasis on the description of thick lines, the following through his description of Spain, French countryside, to feel the style of the master.

"The Sun Also Rises" tells the story of Jack, Mike, and Cohen around a woman named Brett, the story is constantly traveling, culminating in the bullfighting carnival in the Spanish city of Pamplona, such a group of friends are constantly traveling, enjoying life, but also entangled in constant feelings, plus Romero, a matador boy who suddenly appears, is a scene between four men and a woman. It's just that some people keep quitting, and the novel introduces Jack and Bright at the beginning, which seems to me to be a one-sided relationship, but is introduced to his friends in the form of a fiancée. Then mike and Bright's honeymoon-like trip follows, and then Cohen discovers that he has a crush on Bright, a writer who has had a marriage and a cohabiting girlfriend, and finds that his love has come. But his love affair has aroused Mike's strong disgust, and even friends such as Jack are angry about his actions. In a drunken conflict, everyone completely lost control, because Cohen was a former middleweight boxing champion at Princeton University, easily picking up all his love enemies to the ground, but waking up to ask for forgiveness and leaving before the carnival arrived. But the story continues, bright for the young and promising bullfighter Romero, and tailgating after the carnival, which makes Mike lose his mind, while also sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss of bankruptcy, living with alcohol and indulging in the fantasy of love leaving. Speaking of Jack, who loves a wide range of journalists, travels, fishes, loves to watch bullfighting, and in the final stages of the peak circuit, probably Bright suddenly matures or loves to succumb to reason, let Romero leave, and meet Jack again in Madrid. Bright walked by as passers-by one after another, and Jack became the one who laughed to the end. As in the question and answer at the end of the book:

Oh, Jack, what a great time we could have had together.

Yeah, isn't it nice to think about it that way?

Although this book is the story of four men around a woman, but in fact, rarely involves love, love part, and delicate emotional description, this is more of a man-based story scene, constantly spent in various forms of drinking, some regardless of day and night of the kind of drinking, such as the mention of various wines, cup after cup, changing position of drinking, is this a drunken dream life? What is the alcohol level of such a drink, and the wines mentioned in the book, such as: wine, Jack rose, ouzo, whiskey (not good), sherry and so on. It can also be seen that Hemingway is also a person who likes to drink, and the average person will write the names and characteristics of various wines so clearly. The fishing scene described in the book is also a very wonderful paragraph, friends who like fishing can learn from the text in the book, the number of fishing is well controlled, and at the same time grasp the balance of fishing and pleasure, enjoy the fun at the same time, not too much greed for fishing. People who like football know that we habitually call the Spanish team a matador, just like the French team for the Gallic rooster, the German team for the German chariot, etc., in fact, there is a reason, that is, the spaniards to the marrow of the bullfighting culture, and the worship of the bullfighter. Hemingway's depiction at the Pamplona Bullfighting Carnival gives us a vivid picture of the bullfighting culture and the superb bullfighting memories of the bullfighters. Such as drinking, fishing, and bullfighting carnivals, it is a scene of men.

I remember saying before that one of the writers who had the most profound impact on 2020 was Turgenev, and through reading Turgenev's novels, he constantly encountered his favorite words, and at the same time met his favorite books when he bought books. After reading "The Sun Also Rises", I found that Hemingway was also a turgenev fan, and in this novel, he deliberately mentioned that Jack read the novel "Hunter's Notes", and it seems that I am once again out of date. Isn't hemingway, a writer and writer who is also particularly respected, something that should be seen? Thinking about this, there will probably not be so many reasons to waste time, nor will it be haunted by so many nonsensical things. Reading, for those encounters that have not been reunited for a long time, and the expectation of déjà vu.

1, I have longed for such a trip in my life, and before I can go, I will be old.

2) It is easy to be ruthless during the day, but at night it is another matter.

3, as long as a person leaves his homeland, he cannot write anything worth publishing, even if it is a press release.

4, although the night in the mountains is cold, the temperature during the day is very high, and there is a breeze in the summer air during the day. The temperature is hot enough to make it very pleasant to wade in the cool river water, and when you sit on the shore after coming out of the water, the sun will dry your body.

5, it is about Wednesday. Yes, that's right, Wednesday. The mountains do not know the sun and the moon, it is wonderful.

6, I don't know what time to go to bed. I remember taking off my clothes, putting on my bathrobe, and standing outside on the balcony. I knew I was pretty drunk... Start reading. I was reading Turgenev's book, and there were two pages that I had probably repeated several times. It was a novel in Hunter's Notes, which I had read before, and it read like a whole new story, and the countryside scenery jumped out of the paper and seemed to remove the oppressive feeling in my head. I'm the best, but I don't want to close my eyes, because if I close my eyes, the room will spin, and if I keep reading, the feeling will disappear.

7, pay for nothing more than groping, adventure, experience, or money. The joy of life is to learn to spend money cost-effectively, to know that you are buying something to account for.

In terms of right and quoting these words in the book, the description of the Spanish countryside and the performance of the Carnival bullfighters, it is left to those who are interested to look for. It was midnight, and I came back late at night to sit in a taxi on Chang'an Avenue, and for the first time I had such a close encounter with Beijing. After reading this book "The Sun Also Rises", which one should I read next? Whether it is "Hunter's Notes" or "Du Mu's Selected Poems" and so on, it is left as an expectation.
