Reflections on Two Wan Li under the Sea
Jules. Verne was born in Nantes, a seaport city in western France. He lived and studied on Fayed Island by the Lauard River until he graduated from middle school. My father is a successful lawyer, and he is bent on his son's inheritance. But Verne loved the ocean since he was a child and longed for sailing and adventure. 1 1 years old, he volunteered to go aboard as an apprentice and sailed to India, only to be found by his family and taken home. For this reason, Verne was severely beaten. He lay in bed with tears and vowed, "I will only lie in bed and fantasize about traveling in the future." Perhaps it was this childhood experience that objectively prompted Verne to gallop in fantasy all his life and create so many famous sci-fi works.
Jules verne, the author of Two Wan Li under the Sea, was not only surprised by his exaggerated, touching and scientific novels, but also by the stories he wrote in the book. Although this is not surprising today in the 2 1 century, in Verne's era, people have not invented submarines that can swim underwater, and even electric lights have not appeared. In this context, Verne successfully created the submarine Nautilus in two Wan Li under the sea. Twenty-five years after the novel was published, people built a real submarine, similar to that described in the novel. What kind of foresight is this? Therefore, the fantasies in Verne's works have scientific basis. The scientific fantasy depicted in many of his works has come true today. More importantly, the fantasy in his works is bold and novel, and it is interesting to read with its vivid, vivid and picturesque beauty. His works have thrilling plots, vivid characters and unexpected endings. All these make his works have eternal charm.
Written in 1870, Two Wan Li under the Sea is the second part of Verne's famous trilogy. The first part is Captain Grant's children, and the third part is Mystery Island. This work tells the story of Pierre Aronnax, a French biologist, traveling in the depths of the ocean. This happened in 1866, and a monster thought to be a narwhal was found at sea. He accepted the invitation to join the chase, unfortunately fell into the water during the chase and swam on the monster's back. In fact, this monster is not a narwhal, but a diving boat with wonderful structure. This diving boat was secretly built by Captain Nemo on a desert island in the middle of the ocean. It has a solid hull and uses the ocean to generate electricity. Captain Nemo invited Pierre Aronnax to travel to the bottom of the sea. They set out from the Pacific Ocean, passed through coral islands, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and entered the Atlantic Ocean. They saw many rare marine animals and plants and strange scenes in the water, and experienced many dangers such as stranding, being besieged by indigenous people, fighting with sharks, icebergs blocking roads, octopus attacks and so on. Finally, when the diving boat arrived at the Norwegian coast, Pierre Aronnax left without saying goodbye and announced to the world what he knew about the seabed. Captain Nemo, the hero of the book, is a romantic, mysterious and charming figure. Nemo built a diving boat according to his own design, snorkeling on the seabed for large-scale scientific research, but it seems that this is not the only purpose of his lonely life. He avoided enemies and persecutors, sought freedom at the bottom of the sea, and felt deep sorrow for his lonely life. It was not until the third part of the trilogy that the mystery of this mysterious figure was unveiled. This collection contains all the features of Verne's science fiction. The twists and turns, the tense and confusing storyline, the ever-changing fate of the characters, the rich and detailed scientific knowledge, and the wonderful fantasy with vivid details are all a furnace. The author's originality and ingenious layout sometimes push readers into a dangerous environment, and sometimes bring them into a beautiful realm full of poetry and painting. Magnificent scene description and detailed detail description appear alternately. It's fascinating to read, and you can't stop.
In this way, with reverence, I began to take the Nautilus submarine with Junasz, the protagonist of the book, and began his legendary underwater journey. Captain Nemo, the owner of the Nautilus, was a gloomy and learned man. They traveled together in the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean, Antarctic and Arctic Ocean, and saw many rare underwater animals and plants, as well as underwater caves, secret passages and sites, including the famous sunken city Atlantis, an ancient civilization with a history and culture comparable to that of Greece. Nautilus set out from the Sea of Japan, entered the Pacific Ocean, Oceania, and then reached the Indian Ocean, passing through the Red Sea and Arabian Tunnel, and reached the Mediterranean Sea. The submarine crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, along the coast of Africa, and headed for the South Pole. Then go north along the coast of Latin America, follow the warm current to the North Sea, and finally disappear into the whirlpool on the west coast of Norway. During the submarine journey of nearly ten months, Nautilus sailed slowly at an average speed of 12 km per hour. I feel that I enjoyed the ever-changing wonders of the seabed with Captain Nemo and his "guests". The climax of the whole voyage is repeated: underwater hunting, underwater forest visit, underwater Atlantis ruins visit, Spanish shipwreck treasure salvage, coral kingdom funeral witness, fighting with Okumo, sharks and octopus, fighting back against the siege of indigenous people and so on. These books contain a great deal of knowledge about science, culture, geography and geology. O Junasz expressed admiration for Captain Nemo's outstanding talent and knowledge in the voyage. However, in the fascinating story, people are also warned that while seeing that science and technology benefit mankind, they should pay attention to preventing acts that are used by bad people and endanger the human crisis; Put forward the concept of caring for marine life such as seals and whales and condemning indiscriminate killing and fishing. These environmental protection topics, which are still popular today, have been called for by prophets 200 years ago. It can be seen that what leaves a deeper reflection on human justice is to let readers feel colorful adventures and vivid knowledge, and to inspire us to get more books from our hearts.
The novel appeared "monsters" from the sea, frequently attacking ships of various countries, stirring people's panic until the Nautilus was swallowed up by the Atlantic vortex, and the whole novel was full of suspense and interlocking. I was deeply attracted by this book. During the trip, Captain Nemo and I, as well as tourists, can be said to change with the development of things, sometimes fearful, sometimes relaxed and happy. The subtlety of this book lies in the complete enlightenment of knowledge of nature, although it tells a lot about the ocean. For example, the mucus secreted by a tiny creature called fenugreek in the Red Sea makes the sea water as red as blood. But none of them are deliberate, and none of them are hard for readers to accept. It's just what they saw and heard during a trip, which makes people firmly retain all kinds of ideas and gains born of scenery.
Not every science fiction novel is as readable as Two Wan Li under the Sea. As a novel that is not fabricated out of thin air, but accumulated by foresight and erudition, it not only explains their journey for readers who don't know underwater knowledge in detail, but also shows the wisdom and civilization of the ancients to later generations. The whole novel uses a lot of space to introduce scientific knowledge such as ocean current, fish, shellfish, coral, marine benthos, seaweed, marine biological circulation system, pearl production and so on, and becomes a veritable scientific enlightenment novel. Rereading this book, I still have this wish in my heart, that is, I hope to explore all the secrets of the seabed with Captain Nemo. I hate the luck of Professor Pierre Aronnax.
The story begins with 1866, a strange thing that caused a storm in the whole city. Many ships found sea monsters at sea. French biologist Professor Pierre Aronnax was invited to chase these monsters. Unexpectedly, he fell into the water and traveled around the world with his companions. Finally, he couldn't stand the boredom at the bottom of the sea and tried his best to return to land.
Writing here, I can't help but think of Harry Potter, which is far more valuable than the former (as far as I'm concerned). After all, it is extremely precious to write such a fantasy novel in 1870 and spread it to this day. 135 The test of the passage of time by millions of readers in Qian Qian did not weaken its spirit, but affirmed its value. I think it stands in the history of literature because of the word "fantasy" that runs through it from beginning to end. Fantasy has been the source of power to promote social development since ancient times. Today, it has been proved that all the fantasies or inferences of the author jules verne are based on reality, such as: undersea forests, crossing undersea tunnels (Arabian undersea tunnels, tunnels leading to the Mediterranean under Suez) and sunken land (Atlantic continent). In the future world, all fantasies will come true. In the sea, Captain Nemo said, "The progress of mankind is really too slow." Fantasy is actually the wings of progress. /kloc-people's fantasy more than 0/00 years ago will be realized in 100 years, and the exploration is endless!
The sea praises the deep blue country, the epic magnificent ocean, a carefree and uncontested place, where there are countless corals, seaweed, swimming fish and minerals. It is a magnificent brocade, which I can't praise or describe in words. Nautilus was an immortal myth at that time. It reveals all the infinite mysteries in the ocean. For Captain Nemo,
Finally, speaking of Captain Nemo, this mysterious figure adds a lot of color to this book. He can repay tens of billions of national debts for France, see his friends die and cry silently, give millions of gold to the poor, take in all those who hate the land, fill a bag of pearls to the poor pearl picker, escape from mankind and carry out terrible revenge. He has a deep-rooted distrust of mankind. I have always really liked this kind of person, a genius who abandoned the world. I always wanted to know about Captain Nemo's endless pain. I don't understand what kind of experience and background such a man has, but I believe he is a kind person.
Two Wan Li under the Sea is indeed a classic, but in modern times, it is rare to see such a classic, and there are many flashy things. What a pity!
Who's Who by the famous French writer Roman? Roland's Biography of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy was written at the beginning of the 20th century, which had a wide influence at that time and later. In these three biographies, Roman? Roland did not stick to the trivial textual research on the biographies of the masters, nor did he trace back their creative process as a whole. Instead, we firmly grasp the similarities between these three artists and their respective fields, and strive to describe their long-term suffering and pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. Roman? Roland called them "heroes" and wrote with touching pen and ink their lofty courage to fight against fate and great feelings to bear the suffering of all mankind, which can be said to be another "heroic symphony" of ours.
As early as 1930s and 1940s, the famous translator Mr. Fu Lei translated Whose Biography into Chinese. First-class propagandist, first-class author and first-class translator made this work quickly become a classic, and it is still deeply loved by readers. The first half of the twentieth century was a turbulent and painful period in human history, Roman? Roland wrote "Who Biography" and Mr. Fu Lei translated "Who Biography" with emotion, in order to draw the strength of survival and the courage to fight from the lives of these great men. Mr. Fu Lei said, "When the whole sky is shrouded in gloom", the inspiration he got from Who's Who is: "Only real suffering can drive away the suffering of romantic Dick's fantasy; Only by overcoming the heroic tragedy of suffering can we help us bear the cruel fate; Only by holding the spirit of' who will go to hell if I don't go to hell' can we save a depressed and selfish nation ... "
So, what can the Biography of WHO give us today? In an era when material life is extremely rich and spiritual life is relatively poor, and in a society where people avoid the sublime and bid farewell to the sublime, Whose Biography may give us more embarrassment, because the lives of these giants are like a mirror, which shows our meanness and smallness. We would rather praise their works than feel the greatness of their personality. At the end of Michelangelo's biography, Roman Roland said, "Great souls are like mountains. I'm not saying that ordinary humans can survive on mountain peaks. But once a year, they should go up and bow. There, they can change the breathing in the lungs and the blood flow in blood vessels. There, they will feel closer to eternity. In the future, they will return to the vast plains of life, and their hearts are full of courage in daily fighting. " For our time, this is really a stone.
Who's Who is a good proof of an old saying in China: Those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times must have perseverance and perseverance. Beethoven's "Seeking refuge in sadness and forbearance", Michelangelo's "The more I suffer, the more I like it" and Tolstoy's "I cry, I suffer, I just want the truth" all show that a great life is an endless battle. Our times are ever-changing and full of opportunities. We are eager for success, but we don't want to struggle. What we want is to become famous overnight. Impetuousness and quick success may make us achieve short-term achievements, but we must never be among the immortals of mankind.
Therefore, reading Who's Who may sober us up.
Who is who?
Great minds are like a mountain, shaken by wind and rain and surrounded by clouds, but when people breathe there, they are more free and powerful than anywhere else. Pure atmosphere can wash away the filth of the soul; When the dark clouds cleared, he threatened mankind.
I'm not saying that ordinary humans can survive at the peak. But once a year, one of them will bow. There, he can change the breathing in the lungs and the blood flow in the blood vessels, where they will feel closer to eternity. After that, they returned to the vast plain of life, and their hearts were full of courage in their daily battles. -romain rolland
"The rich have the privilege of transcending artistic patents .. They set artistic standards according to their own happiness. Without the poor, art becomes poor and weak. " People who don't work feel much narrower emotions than those who work. There are three kinds of emotions in modern society: pride, lewdness and drowsiness. These three emotions and their branches have caused almost all artistic themes of the rich class. It corrupts the world, makes people decadent and encourages lust. It has become the biggest obstacle to the realization of human welfare. It has no real beauty, is unnatural and insincere, and is an artificial art of meat.

The Biography of Who Is Who was written by the famous French writer romain rolland. The works of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy were all written in the early 20th century, which had a wide influence at that time and later. In these three biographies, romain rolland firmly grasped the similarities between these three artists and their respective fields, and made great efforts to depict their long-term pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty.
Three famous people in the world are written in this book. The first is a German composer: Beethoven; The other is a talented Italian sculptor: Michelangelo; The last one is a famous Russian writer: Tolstoy.
In this biography of Who is Beethoven, what moved me most was his story. Beethoven is a musical genius, and his talent was discovered by his father very early. It's a pity that Beethoven's father is not a good father. He asked Beethoven to practice the piano every day, no matter what his mood was, and he worked hard. Sometimes he even put Beethoven and a violin in a room for a whole day and forced him to learn music by violence. Beethoven's childhood was very miserable. His mother died when he was 16 years old, and his father became a profligate alcoholic. These misfortunes weighed on Beethoven's head together, leaving deep scars in his heart, which led to his grumpy and eccentric temper. But Beethoven did not sink because of this. He devoted all his energy to the music career he loved. Thanks to his talent and diligence, he soon became famous. When he was intoxicated with the happiness brought by music, the unfortunate thing happened again: he was deaf. For a musician, the most important thing is his ears, but a great musician who lives on music like Beethoven is deaf, which is unacceptable to ordinary people.
Beethoven's life is tragic and full of disasters, but why did he succeed? Why can he do what normal people can't? This caused me to think deeply. In my opinion, Beethoven's success is due to his perseverance and spirit of struggle. He is fearless in the face of difficulties. This is the secret of his success. In our daily life, when we encounter difficulties, we often think of asking others for help, instead of directly facing the difficulties and making up our minds to solve them. Beethoven, on the other hand, was eccentric and no one wanted to be friends with him. So in the face of difficulties, he can only fight alone. Although lonely, I have learned something that others can't: as long as I give myself unlimited courage, even the most terrible enemy can be defeated.
Romain rolland called them "heroes" and wrote with touching pen and ink their lofty courage to fight against fate and their great feelings to bear the suffering of all mankind. As early as 1930s and 1940s, they were translated into Chinese by Mr. Fu Lei, a famous translator in China. The enlightenment he got from Whose Biography is: "Only real suffering can drive away the suffering of romantic Dick's fantasy;" Only by overcoming the heroic tragedy of suffering can we help us bear the cruel fate; Only by holding the spirit of' who will go to hell if I don't go to hell' can we save a depressed and selfish nation ... "
So, for today's readers, what can the biography of Who give us? In the extremely rich material life and spiritual life.
In that era of relative poverty and weakness, in a society where people avoid the sublime and bid farewell to the sublime, whose biography may give us more.
Most of them are embarrassed, because the lives of these giants are like a mirror, which shows our meanness and smallness. In Michelangelo's biography,
Romain rolland finally said that a great soul is like a mountain. "I'm not saying that ordinary human beings can survive at the peak. But once a year
They should go up and bow. There, they can change the breathing in the lungs and the blood flow in blood vessels. There, they will feel closer to eternity. In the future, they will return to the vast plain of life, and their hearts are full of courage in daily fighting. "For our time, this is the truth." Who's Who confirms an old saying of China people: Those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times must have perseverance.
Beethoven's Seeking Shelter in Sorrow and Forbearance, Michelangelo's The more I suffer, the more I like it, and Tolstoy's The more I cry, the more I get hurt.
Bitter, I just want the truth ",all show that a great life is an endless battle. Our times are ever-changing and full of machines.
When we met, we longed for success, but didn't want to struggle. What we want is to become famous overnight. Impetuousness and quick success may make us achieve epiphyllum.
Current achievements, but it can't make us immortal. Therefore, reading Who's Who may sober us up.
Turning to Who's Who, there is a passage in the introduction of the first article: "How heavy the air around us is. The boss Europa was in a coma in an atmosphere of heavy turbidity and corruption. Vulgar materialism suppressed his thoughts and hindered the actions of the government and individuals. Society died in cunning and humble selfishness, and human beings could not breathe. Open the window! Let the free air come back! Take a breath of the hero. " Obviously, romain rolland should use the spirit of heroism to correct the deviation of the times. In romain rolland's view, the real hero and the real greatness are pain and loneliness, and it is the self's struggle against intangible things. In the same introduction, he also said: "The hero I am talking about is not a person dominated by thought or power; But he is a great person at heart. " It was he who grasped the painful hearts of heroes and great men and took overcoming suffering as a shining yardstick to measure heroes. Whose Biography is the soul biography of three suffering heroes in human history, namely/kloc-Beethoven, a great German musician in the 9th century, Michelangelo, a famous Italian sculptor in the Renaissance, and Tolstoy, a great Russian literary master. At the end of Beethoven's biography, he wrote: "an unfortunate man, poor, disabled and lonely, is caused by pain. The world has not given him joy, but he has created joy for the world;" He used suffering to create happiness, as if he had explained it with that brave words-that sentence can sum up his life and become the motto of all heroes: meet with pain. Indeed, "pain and happiness" is romain rolland's vision of tracing Beethoven's life, which constitutes the internal tension and ideological charm of Beethoven's biography. What supported Beethoven? It is the quality of not bowing to imperial power, the determination not to be bought by money, and the courage to hold the throat of fate! It is by relying on these extraordinary spiritual forces that Beethoven crossed countless painful peaks of life and reached the most sober understanding of life. If Beethoven's biography is a call for heroism and an ode to strength, then Tolstoy's biography is a requiem, an elegy and an elegy. Beethoven's great pain is due to his bad luck in his prime, while Tolstoy's great pain lies in his own subjective will. Resurrection is another masterpiece of Tolstoy in his later years. Romain rolland said: "His wife, children, friends and enemies don't understand him because they can't see the enemy he is fighting, but this enemy is himself." "Tolstoy, do you live according to the teachings you preach!" He replied painfully, "I'm ashamed to death. I am a sinner, and I should be despised. "Finally, at the age of 82, Tolstoy escaped from home alone on a cold winter night and was very ill in a nameless town. On his deathbed, he cried and told people around him that millions of creatures on the earth were suffering; Why does everyone here only care about one lev tolstoy? "In fact, Tolstoy sent a question about the whole life and a response to the painful mind. Here, we clearly heard Beethoven's joyful singing of life. This is the eternal spiritual light left by romain rolland in Who's Who.
Is that enough?
