After reading a classic, everyone must have gained a lot. Write a review to record the gains and efforts. In order to save you from the headache of writing and reading, here are the readings of Quiet Don River (selected 8 articles) that I have collected for everyone. They are for reference only. Everyone is welcome to read. After reading "The Quiet Don" Chapter 1
"The Quiet Don" is a work by the Soviet writer Sholokhov. The book consists of four parts and is 1.5 million words long. Longer than War and Peace. I personally think it is the longest masterpiece. Moreover, this novel is mainly narrative, without much discussion. This is very similar to Chinese classical novels. The plot is compact and there are many characters. Such a complex novel is particularly difficult to write. It consumes people's energy and is difficult to conceive. It can be said that this novel is written based on the author's life. So I particularly like this part of the novel and read it very carefully. The plot of the novel deeply impressed and shocked me.
1. Emotions are the eternal theme of mankind. Grigory was persistently in love with his wife, Oxenia. For this reason they eloped twice. The second time, they took advantage of the clouds in the sky and set out on the road. Before they had taken a few steps, Oxenia was hit by a bullet. Blood flowed out mercilessly from her mouth. Gregory took off his cotton coat and pillowed it under his beloved's head. He quickly checked her wounds, then tore off a piece of his underwear and stuffed it into Gu Gu, who was still bleeding. He held her head in his arms and shouted in grief: "Please say something!" The beloved who had run away with him desperately and who, although not his wife, loved him more than his wife, did not say another word. Leaving the love of his life behind. Gregory's sorrow reached a certain point, and he buried his lover with both hands. Although it is an abnormal love, it is so touching. I think only that kind of desperate love can touch our hearts like this.
2. Describe war. Except for the first two hundred pages, which describe peaceful rural life, the rest of the book describes war. This is rare in world famous books. World War I, the Soviet Civil War, the third and fourth Cossack uprisings. Although the novel is long and describes a single war, it is not boring. This is inseparable from the author's superb writing skills. While describing the war, the novel also depicts the images of bourgeois and proletarian warriors. The novel is a bit like "A Dream of Red Mansions" in that both the main and secondary characters have a stage to express themselves. This way every character is lifelike. I also admire the description of war scenes. Things like conquering bunkers, cavalry operations, encounters between small groups of men and horses, treatment of prisoners of war, etc. are written vividly and impressively.
3. Describe the life on both sides of the Don River. In the rural areas on both sides of the Don River, people live a simple life and are hardworking and brave. The author writes vividly about rural life. China is good at writing about rural life, but it is slightly inferior to "Quiet Don". It can be said that this novel "exhaustively" writes about rural life. It has reached a level that is unprecedented and unprecedented. Every plant and tree in the countryside, the houses and fields in the countryside, and every word and deed of the people in the countryside are all described. The first two hundred pages of the novel describe rural life on both sides of the Don River. It can be said that these 200 pages are the most exciting 200 pages in the book.
Finally, please remember the famous saying of the great writer Sholokhov: I hope that my book can help people become more perfect, have a purer heart, arouse love for others, and arouse people's positivity. to fight for the ideals of humanitarianism and human progress. If I achieve this to some extent, then I am happy. Try to understand the good intentions of this great man, seize the limited time, and the opportunities that are quietly slipping through our fingertips. Remember, successful people often just seize this precious opportunity that is ignored by ordinary people. After reading "Quiet Don River" Chapter 2
When I first came into contact with "Quiet Don River", I was in high school. At that time, our school tried its best to create our own journal "Green Apple". Therefore, It attracted a large number of students to submit articles. But after all, time and energy are limited, and soon, not many people will submit articles. But what to do? Could it be that a journal that was finally launched with so much hard work was aborted silently? Finally, I came up with a way: use a large amount of space to serialize Shokhov's novel "The Quiet Don". Unexpectedly, as soon as the novel was published in the journal, it immediately brought unprecedented popularity to it. . We all started to read the journals run by our school.
But after all, time is limited, and it is impossible to publish all of such a large book in the journal within a few months. We only looked at such a small part. Now that I am in college, I have more time. Occasionally, when I went to the library to borrow books, I found four copies of "Quiet Don": a complete set of books. I almost jumped up with joy. It didn’t take long, but now I finally met it, and I couldn’t be more happy! But it is regrettable that our school can only borrow one novel at a time. I feel so depressed!
So based on my previous experience of reading it, I borrowed the fourth book, which is the one with the finale. I couldn't put it down all day long with my beloved book. That's how I finally felt it.
This book tells the story of an ordinary Russian, Grigory, who joined the Cossacks and the Bolsheviks during the First World War, and the events that happened in it. What made him sad was first that his brother died in the war, and then his wife had an abortion because she was unwilling to give him a child and died of excessive blood loss. I was looked down upon by others because I was uneducated, and in the end I had to be demoted from a division commander to a small company commander. Dissatisfied with the aimlessness of the Cossacks' war, he later joined the Red Army. He vented all his resentment towards those superior generals who had no actual fighting ability onto the battlefield.
Through the detailed description of their family's daily life, the author truly reflects the powerlessness of people living in the war years over their own destiny and the huge disaster that the war has brought to the people. After reading Quiet Don River Chapter 3
I grew up in a peaceful era and have never experienced war. For me, war only exists in novels or global news reports, but Quiet Don River reads At the end, I felt that I had walked through the rain of bullets with the protagonist Gregory, and braved the artillery fire to move towards the future. What a heavy journey! The mind and body are exhausted, and nothing can test human nature more than war.
The scene where the protagonist kills his first enemy on the battlefield for the first time is something I will never forget. He was a kind-hearted young man with a pure and passionate love in his heart, but when he couldn't figure out why he was fighting, he killed someone in a confused way. Once the wheel of war rolls forward, no one will have the time or courage to think about why they are fighting. They will just instinctively avoid death. The protagonist is uneducated and has no knowledge. He just wants to go home after the war and be with his beloved woman. For this reason, he anesthetizes his mind and tries not to think about the dead faces and the parents, wives and children behind them. He had to do this, and the instinct of survival drove him forward. Those who are soft-hearted on the battlefield are the ones that death loves to patronize most.
The war crushed his heart, tore it apart, and slowly closed it again. After it closed, it tore open and torn apart. When the heart was closed again, it was completely deformed, hard and empty. If you knock it casually, it will fall into pieces and cannot be picked up again. He lost the two women who loved him most - his wife and his lover, especially his deeply beloved lover, Aksinya, who bravely and fearlessly followed him to escape. He saw her shot to death with his own eyes, even the last There was no chance to say goodbye.
After burying his lover, it is like burying his own life. His parents, brothers, wife and daughter died one after another. The only support in this world was his young son. He grabbed this belief like a life-saving straw and bravely faced the reality that he had been escaping. In war, the fate of an individual is so small. In the torrent of history, there are many people like the protagonist who are forced to move forward and cannot figure out how to choose a side. They can only move forward according to their instincts, and their instincts are often Going against history, tragedy has arisen and there is nothing we can do about it.
Although I cannot save Gregory’s miserable life, I can deeply understand the horror of war and cherish the peaceful life I have now. I will try my best to see my own destiny clearly and make the right decision when I need to make a choice. Make the right choice.
Farewell, Quiet Don River, I can’t bear to watch it a second time. No one wants to experience two wars, to see beautiful things destroyed again, to see kind and simple people devastated by war again, to see countless innocent lives disappear again. This is really the cruelest thing. I can't bear it anymore.
In times of war, God does not exist.
After reading "The Quiet Don River" Chapter 4
Reading "The Quiet Don River" on an autumn afternoon, I can see the refreshing blue sky outside the balcony every time I raise my eyes. In an instant, my mind has flown far away. On the banks of the Don River, I transformed myself into a Cossack wearing a hat and long boots. Surrounded by the smoke-like prairie, an ancient Cossack song sounded in my ears: "It was not the plow that opened up this fertile wilderness, but the plow that opened it." Thousands of miles of fertile wilderness are war horses with iron hooves, thousands of miles of fertile wilderness are planted with the heads of Cossacks, and those who dress up the Quiet Don River are young widows..." This is the fate of readers, and also the fate of novelists. I believe that if you can meet the author face to face at this moment, then There must be a knowing smile when two people look at each other.
The beauty of the Don lies in the Cossack world depicted by Sholokhov with meticulous brushwork. This world is not constructed like a master craftsman, but a catharsis of emotions for the land and people. Based on the author's familiarity with the Don River, he is familiar with every detail and character portrayal. The descriptions of several main characters have a natural feeling, including Grigory's vacillation in the White Army and the Red Army; Aksini Ya's persistent pursuit of pure love; Pantelei's irritable character and housekeeping but caring and affectionate towards his relatives; Natalia's kindness and beauty but strong personality. As every relevant event develops, you will sigh like this: This is how people are at this time! It shouldn't be anything else.
Cossacks are both soldiers and farmers. Soldiers usually play the role of suppressors in history, while farmers are always in the position of the oppressed. In the case of the Cossacks, the two are so integrated. nature. Horses, wine, guns... these elements appear repeatedly in the novel and become part of the Cossacks. They are not only embellishments in the Don River scroll, but sometimes also become the main theme of the novel. Only rugged nations are connected with these words. When these words become the historical symbols of a nation, readers will perceive that the growth of this nation comes from blood and fire. From the beginning, these characters and things are like the melting snow on the top of the mountain. Each Cossack is a tiny drop of water. When combined into one, they burst out with huge appeal. The reader will be attracted by this slow but slow process while reading. Driven by an unstoppable force, you can fully appreciate the rudeness, savagery, simple humor, conservatism and humbleness of the Cossacks. You will also get to know a group of descendants of slaves, a group of unyielding warriors, a group of farmers and anarchists dominated by small peasant consciousness. These are the charms of human nature. Throughout, the novel becomes a harmonious and unified whole.
The author Shokhorov won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1965, and 2007 was designated as the "Year of Shokhorov" by UNESCO.
I heard that in Veshensk, Russia, if you continue to the south, you can find the Tatar village on the Don River. There is a group of sculptures standing on the river bank: Aksinya is carrying a bucket. To go home, Grigory sat on his horse and blocked the way.
One of my future wishes is to visit that place. After reading "Quiet Don River" Part 5
Sholokhov, the author of "Quiet Don River", once said: "I hope that my works will help everyone become perfect and their souls will become better." I am more pure and hope that my works can arouse everyone's love for their companions." Sholokhov's works are rough and bold, yet at the same time delicate, smooth and full of tenderness. Reading "Quiet Don" seems to transform you into a character in the book. Your name may be Buchagin or Shokhov. You follow the protagonist of the story, Grigory, riding in the moonlight and riding a fast horse wrapped in cloth to attack the enemy camp. You may be a farmer who cannot be named, lying lazily after harvesting. On the haystacks in the wheat field, flirting with Chawa...
No other work so far can be so touching, only "Quiet Don". Sholokhov used a surreal and realistic technique to unfold for us a paradise in the war. The two sides of the Don River in his paintings have not lost their color due to the war. The vast land and the endless prairie , the quietly flowing Don River, the smoky villages, the shrewd and coquettish village women, and the faint fragrance of wild flowers in spring, all appear before your eyes so clearly, naturally and truly. Although it is an epic masterpiece describing war, Sholokhov devoted more space and words to describing natural scenery, customs, emotions and humanity, striving to express peace, tranquility and the magnificence of nature.
It makes people unable to put it down after reading it, and they are deeply immersed in it... After-reading "Quiet Don River" Chapter 6
There is no doubt that "Quiet Don River" is a good work and can withstand the times. Experienced literary classics. However, it is worth noting that this novel is a very special literary phenomenon in mainstream Soviet literature. This work was actually accepted and recognized by Soviet officials, and was once officially regarded as a "red classic" in mainstream literature. Obviously, it has a certain unknown historical background. There have been many textual research articles that have demonstrated the strangeness in the creation of this work.
What is surprising is that no matter which angle you look at this novel, it is a subversion of the utopian sentiments in mainstream Soviet literature during the Stalin period, and its dystopian sentiments are extremely obvious. Reading this epic masterpiece as a "red classic" is indeed the "absurd logic" of Soviet and Chinese readers for many years. Ironically, it was during the "Cultural Revolution" when Sholokhov was "anti-revisionism" in China. When he "unfortunately" became the "most reactionary writer" during the "Anti-Repair" movement, and his "Quiet Don" also became the biggest "poisonous weed", the Chinese people discovered this through a combination of circumstances and mistakes. This work subverts the mainstream thinking of the Soviet Union in the 1930s.
This epic masterpiece truly represents the life and struggles of the Don Cossacks in the turbulent historical era from World War I to the end of the Civil War. Their sadness, suffering, strong primitive vitality, attachment to the land, and simple nature intertwined with barbarism and kindness are all reflected in the hero Grigory and the heroines Aksiniya and Nadalia. come out. Their pain and sorrow, joy and happiness all come from their true humanity. The hesitant choice and final confusion of the novel's protagonist Grigory Melekhov between the Red Army and the White Army implies the tragedy of society and the absurdity of history. On the one hand, the novel brilliantly depicts the true life of the Cossacks.
Their ancestors have lived in this fertile land for generations, working, loving, and reproducing, simple and full of passion for life. The love between Grigory and his mistress Aksinya reflects the exuberance and impulsiveness of their vitality. On the other hand, the novel depicts the cruelty and indifference of the Bolsheviks. The description of the Bolsheviks Punchuk and Koshevoy in the novel highlights their cruelty and ruthlessness. In the writer's writing, they have become revolutionary machines and the embodiment of political principles. Their consciousness is in sharp contrast to Gregory's authenticity. The Red Army led by the Bolsheviks brought the revolutionary storm to the tranquil Don steppe. The Cossack peasants who lived freely were forced to face historical changes. Gregory must make a life choice in this cruel turmoil.
His selection criteria are actually very simple: no matter it is the Red Army or the White Army, as long as he can live freely on this land, he can grow whatever he wants to eat, and he can pursue whichever girl he wants to love. , live unrestrainedly, then who will he follow. Grigory was a free and simple Cossack, and his wandering between the Red Army and the White Army was precisely due to this simple and simple life requirement. However, such a simple request could not be realized in that cruel era. Neither the Red Army nor the White Army could satisfy Gregory's most basic desire in life. In the end, he could only hold the body of Aksiniya who died unjustly and slowly walk towards a future with no way out.
What did the revolution bring to ordinary Cossack peasants? From the tragic ending of the novel, it seems that we can feel some hint from the author. The novel's subversion of Soviet state utopianism is quite obvious. It is precisely because of the distinct dystopian nature of this novel that it is very special among the mainstream literature of the Stalinist period in the Soviet Union. However, it should be said that this mainstream literary work of questionable status objectively wrote the most wonderful work for the Soviet mainstream literature that was in recession during the Stalin period.
The novel’s true and accurate description of the Cossacks’ life, its accurate and in-depth display of their emotional world, and its profound grasp of the tragedy of history all demonstrate the author’s first-rate writing skills. This is even more valuable for an author who is only in his 20s. In his more than 40 years of creative career, Sholokhov never had such an outstanding talent for artistic summary. Indeed, it is easy to arouse people's doubts by associating Sholokhov, the bossy literary politician wielding an ideological stick in the 1960s, with the author of "Quiet Don".
This may have been an important reason for the controversy over the authorship of this masterpiece for a long time. "Quiet Don River" Chapter 7
"Quiet Don River" is such a book. It includes the history of a country, several histories and the history of a person, but it It is not a historical novel, not what we think of Lower Riba - although the author writes in the most popular terms from beginning to end, it is a heavy book - I believe that form is always just decoration.
The author Sholokhov is such a person. He has experienced the three most historic eras in Russia, experienced the process of a nation from birth to death to life again, and experienced what historians call troubled times. , experienced a contradictory self-struggle like the protagonist Gregory.
It can be said that there is no Russian literary work in the true sense that is not philosophical. For example, this book evolves from philosophical time (a person or a group of people from birth to death and rebirth) into a complex process in space. I believe that the four-volume "Quiet Don River" published by People's Literature Publishing House and translated by Jin Ren will shock every spiritual person.
Jinren’s translation was circulated in the 1920s and 1930s. To be precise, it was a collection of stories about our motherland and this book. One collection contains many of the same stories, and What can these stories bring to the people in them? Translation is always re-creation. He is holding Sholokhov's pen, writing about him and nurturing the waves of the rivers in his own land.
The protagonist Gregory is not a hero, and he has no way to become a hero. He is cowardly, he is simple, he is empty, he is ill-informed, he is depressed, he has all the weaknesses of an ordinary person. However, ordinary people will always write history. The author may not want to tell us all this, but Gregory But he keeps telling us.
History is a trick played by people standing on high-rise buildings. Wherever the spearhead of each idol (or more precisely, "sustenance") points, countless ordinary people rush towards it. Death is the history of a person, and history is the death of a group of people. Such a group of people always think that there is hope in the place where the spearhead is pointed, but hope is always as we know, "The place where there is happiness has been guarded there for a long time..."
History has created A group of people destroys a group of people; politics liberates a group of people but abandons more people. If the Nobel Prize in Literature has any more practical significance in the past hundred years, then it only lies in its affirmation of works, and those affirmed works must be the product of every "victim" after political prostitution. "Quiet Don" is such a book. The author dare not say it clearly because the country, era, and history where he lives give hope to every ordinary person, and hope is a cage and the darling of politics. Stalin absolutely understood this, but he was the one who played the trick, and like many politicians (and none of us can escape the connection), who wouldn’t want circus animals to be used solely as “pets” for entertainment? The Nobel Prize was a pearl in a cage in that era, and "Quiet Don" pushed it one step closer to the edge of the cage.
In the process of reading, I thought of Yu Hua’s assertion that “living is only for living itself.” I don’t believe him anymore, because a higher level of “living” also exists: you can’t If you are not full, and you are full, you cannot endlessly hope for the existence of food like someone who is not full. Therefore, the meaning and value of life are obtained from the hope of struggle, from the despair of disappointment, and from the enlightenment of deep thought. Dante placed a disturbing figure at the door of his hell. Thoughtful words: "When you enter this door, you have to give up all hope."
Everyone in "The Quiet Don" is Rodin's thinker, the one sitting naked in front of the gate of hell. The naked man's despair and hope only stop at that moment. He nakedly proves to people that the value of life lies not in the past, not in the future, but in the present.
Everyone is confused. In this book, in this passionate and melancholy book, their despair and hope soar in their land like the river they love.
This kind of hope and despair is a kind of escape and confusion about politics. What they care about is not the fate of a country, but personal life - how simple and honest this is! However, the gravel is destined to flow along the river. The quiet Don River has wiped away the traces of ordinary people's lives for thousands of years, and continues to flow with human despair and hope until there is no more despair and hope - he will always be So quiet.
In this post-reading of mine, I did not describe the content of this big book in large sections, because that is the behavior of speculators. I think that the content will always be similar, if only for the sake of Putting together the word count, I can choose to stay away from serious books. I did not read this work as a novel, and I was even less willing to read it "deadly" carefully, like some "experts" did. I may one day forget the content of this book, and even now I have forgotten the name of the protagonist of this book, but I put aside all these thoughts and just read it religiously, and then I thought about our country. It is a grain of sand that blends into the river of our nation. The same hope and despair have made people live and die within a hundred years. I am very proud of this country. After reading "The Quiet Don" Chapter 8
During the holidays, I read the famous novel "The Quiet Don" by Sholokhov, a famous Soviet writer and known as the Cossack singer.
The novel describes the story of an ordinary Cossack, but it reflects the political changes in the Don River Basin in the ten years from before World War I to the Civil War and the specific historical changes of all the Cossacks in the Don River. destiny of the period.
The full text uses the life experience of the ordinary Cossack Grigory as the bright line and his emotional experience as the dark line. It narrates his bumpy but passionate and confused life, and comprehensively describes it from point to point. It also profoundly reflects the painful ideological struggle and the difficult and tortuous life path that the Don people experienced at the critical juncture of facing major social and historical choices, and explores the intricate relationship between personal destiny and the historical development of the entire human society. relationship, showing the author's unique sense of tragedy and profound humanitarian concern.
After reading the entire book, I had to be convinced by this great writer. The annual Nobel Prize for Literature he won in 1965 was truly well-deserved for him.
Gregory is the brave young man in the article who refuses to succumb to fate. He leaves behind his wife Natalia, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and chooses his true love, the lowly Aksini. Ya; he was courageous enough to enlist in the army immediately when the First World War broke out; while he was performing outstandingly and making many glorious military exploits, he was deeply confused by the bloody and cruelty of the war and was in extreme mental pain; due to dissatisfaction The atrocities committed by his own Red Army led him to join the rebels angrily and become a division commander; after the White Army was wiped out, he had the courage to join the Budyonni Cavalry Regiment with a heart of atonement, and was able to fight bravely against the enemy with great military exploits; because of this, Afraid of being persecuted during the counter-revolutionary movement, he took the risk to join the Fomin gang; when he was desperate, he took Aksiniya away with him; after Aksiniya was shot by the pursuers and died tragically, she was alone on the grassland with all her thoughts lost. Wandering for three days and three nights.
The last scene of the novel will be deeply impressed by anyone who has read it. Grigory holds the child he had with his wife Natalya, who spent her life in humiliation. The son stood in front of his home, facing the tired and vast land, and felt desolately that his only connection with the world was his little son Mishat...
Without these things that are doomed to tragedy The fear factor shows how peaceful and warm the world could be, but the way humans think is correct for progress actually inhibits our progress.
