Reason: "How Steel was Tempered" describes Pavel Colta King, as the son of an ordinary worker, who experienced a severe life during the First World War, the October Revolution, the Civil War and the national economic recovery, and turned his spontaneous resistance to the old life into a conscious class will. Paul's growth is not "self-development of character", but as the author said when recalling his life: "Steel was tempered by raging fire and sudden cooling ... Our generation was also tempered by struggle and hard test."
War and Peace is his middle-aged work, written from 1863 to 1869, with a length of1200,000 words. In the novel, the author describes real historical figures such as Napoleon, Kutuzov and Tsar Alexander I, but the novel does not revolve around these emperors and princes, but takes a group of fictional characters as the protagonist. In the whole work, * * has 559 characters. The author focuses on the different performances of the Four big noble-Paul Kanski, Bezukhov, Rostov and Kulagin in the environment of war and peace, and runs through the fate of Andre, Pierre and Natasha, the main members of the Four big noble, vividly reappearing the vast picture of life from the city to the countryside, from the living room to the battlefield, and from the capital to other provinces.
The famous novel Don Quixote (1602 ~ 16 15) is Cervantes' masterpiece. The full name of this novel is "The Palace of Gentlemen with Fantasy Ideas" * * 2 volumes, which mainly describes a thin and declining aristocrat, Ji Ke De. He is obsessed with ancient knight novels, dressed himself as an ancient knight in rags, regarded an ugly pig-herding woman as a goddess of worship, and then set out to travel around the country three times with a pudgy farmer, Sancho Panza. As a result, many jokes were made, humiliated everywhere, beaten or sent home as a madman. There are nearly 700 characters in the novel, and the scenes depicted are all over the country from the palace to the wilderness. It exposed the contradictions of the declining Spanish kingdom from the end of 16 to the beginning of 17, condemned the decadence of the aristocratic class, showed the people's pain and struggle, and touched on political, economic, moral, cultural and customs issues. The novel portrays two famous typical figures in world literature, namely, Sancho, a peasant who is laughing, respectable, sad and realistic, timid, intelligent and just. It combines realism and romanticism organically, which has both unpretentious real life and funny and exaggerated fictional plots, and has reached a new level in reflecting the depth and breadth of reality and shaping the typicality of characters.
This book is a classic, but it is best not to read it with such a serious eye, because it belongs to street reading for a long time after its publication, and its value was once considered as "funny" (Cervantes was a genius, but he was the funniest writer in Spain-a human language at that time). No matter what comments he received, this book was really funny, and I couldn't help writing this article after reading it. The words in this book are light and lively. It seems that every sentence is handy and appropriate, but it is not so accurate. Even the cohesion of the plot is so random and full of loopholes, but this does not affect the attraction of the whole book. This book has a vitality from the people. If you joke with a bunch of simple country people, you can feel this warm and natural vitality.
Cervantes, the author, is such a low-level role in society. He was a disabled sergeant and was captured as a slave. During this period, he led his brothers to escape several times and was caught back. After being redeemed, he was penniless, and writing didn't help him get rid of poverty. He also spent several times in prison in ...................................................................................................................................... because of an accident. After his death, people didn't know his exact burial place.
Don Quixote, a country gentleman, was fascinated by the knight's short story, and he was bent on putting all kinds of knight's behaviors in the book into reality. He lured his neighbor Sancho to be his slave, so a madman and a fool became this "great messenger".
Don Quixote is clear-headed and insightful when talking with people in adventure, as long as chivalry is not involved. He has a firm belief and noble character and is a model of chivalry. He pursues justice wholeheartedly, and "fights" with imaginary enemies without fear or even death. He firmly believes that he should help the weak, but in fact, he often gives others trouble. He defends purity and loyalty, sticks to his self-righteous love, and has no regrets, while his so-called "lover" is a pudgy village girl who doesn't know him at all. He lives in an imaginary world, experiencing setbacks without regret. He thought it was just a "magician's ghost" and kept cheering Sancho up-knights always have to go through all kinds of hardships to make great achievements.
What about Sancho? He is a farmer who only sees immediate interests and only cares about himself. Because Don Quixote promised him all kinds of benefits, he followed him to be a slave. He was satisfied with the enjoyment in his mouth, constantly debunking Don Quixote's whimsy and complaining about his poor days. "The eagle flying in the sky is not as good as the hen running on the ground." He used common sense to judge and deal with problems, and the governor actually did a good job. Of course, later he felt tired and didn't want to do it.
The Adventures of Master and Servant is slightly similar to the Tang Priest and Apprentices in The Journey to the West, except that the former is absurd with the real world as the background, while the latter is a struggle with the mythical world as the background. This reminds people of the problem of faith, which is far away, like a distant lamp. The present world, limited by experience, is perceptual, superficial and perhaps "normal". Sancho is an irrational fool who only knows pleasure. Master and servant seem contradictory, but in fact they are inseparable. Don Quixote's ideal is ridiculous, but who can laugh at him? If a person has some ideals and beliefs that excite him, is it more real and smarter than Don Quixote's dream of a ranger? If not, who wants to be Sancho and be satisfied with the present happiness?
Simply put, let's end with a joke at that time.
At that time, the king of Spain saw a student laughing while reading on the balcony of his palace. He decided that the student must be reading Don Quixote, otherwise he was crazy. Sure enough, the guy was watching Don Quixote.
The author, like Don Quixote, is a tragic figure.
Masterpiece: Walden Lake (Thoreau, USA)
Recommended reason:
Thoreau was a brilliant genius, but in China, he was forgotten for a long time. Walden Lake is often put on hold for a long time. This book is called the book of shaping American character, which had great influence in the 20th century.
When I first read this book, I was an impetuous teenager. At first glance, I thought it was a field survival manual. Until the edges and corners were smoothed by years, I settled down to read her, and I had a feeling of epiphany. The attitude towards life and the relationship between man and nature expounded in the book deserve our deep thought.
Say more unintentionally, only when you calm down and walk into Thoreau's world with a clear heart can you get lifelong education.
"Ordinary world"
I am born after 80, and my life is full of different flavors! Heads! Decadence!
The first time I came into contact with Ordinary World was in the third year of high school. At that time, I didn't think much of this set of books, but I felt a little bored before taking over. I borrowed it from a classmate at that time. When I finished reading the first volume, I couldn't wait to read the second volume. This is a phenomenon I didn't have before. I have read a lot of books before, but I have never felt this way. This book touches on something I'm not sure about myself!
There is no thrilling description, there is only truth!
I won't give you the content, because "Ordinary World" can't have an introduction. It is a whole. You won't know until you read it.
In today's society, there is too much hypocrisy, and we always look at flowers in the fog. Although this is a noble realm, I prefer to live in the sun.
We can't change anything ourselves! However, we can at least design our lives in the sun.
Even for a moment, you are the happiest at this moment!
The ordinary world is the moment to give you happiness! ! !
"Ordinary world"
As for the reasons for my recommendation, I will tell you the story of this book, and you will understand. This book was written by Lu Yao and won the Mao Dun Literature Award.
A synopsis of the story of Ordinary World
The story took place in 1975 on the barren Loess Plateau.
Sun Shaoping, a rural student from Grade One, West County, Huangyuan District (1), often chews the inferiority and pain brought by poverty. Being in the same boat, he has a close relationship with Hao Hongmei, the poorest girl in the class. But before long, Hongmei alienated Shao Ping. It turned out that she was attracted by the monitor Gu, and his parents were both senior intellectuals. To this end, our good friend Jin Bo took someone to beat Gu up. Two years of high school life is fleeting, and Shao Ping's most important achievement is to know Tian Xiaoxia, the daughter of Tian Fujun, deputy director of the County Revolutionary Committee. Tian Xiaoxia is well-read and active in thinking. She often borrows newspapers and periodicals such as Reference News to read less, so that Shao Ping can look at herself and things around her with a broader vision. After graduating from high school, Run Sheng, the son of Tian, secretary of the village brigade, became a private power teacher in Shuangshui Village School.
When Sun Shaoping's eldest brother was 6 years old, he followed his father Sun Jinshan to chop wood. Among thousands of candidates who took the junior high school entrance examination in the county, Shao An ranked third. But his study career ended with the arrival of the admission notice. My father was in tears in front of him, but he told him that he could work to support his younger brother Shao Ping and his younger sister Lan Xiang in their studies. Shao An's love life is painful and lucky. He and Tian's daughter Runye are childhood friends and have a good relationship. But she dropped out of school to work in agriculture, while Runye taught in the county seat. The disparity in status made Shao An finally choose He Xiulian, a girl from rural Shanxi. Hearing the news of Shao An's marriage, Runye was heartbroken and married Li Xiangqian, whom she didn't like.
Time strides into the 1980s, and the sound of breaking ice can be heard everywhere in the vast territory. Qiao Bainian, secretary of the provincial party committee, conveyed the spirit of reform and opening up to cadres at all levels, and then the wave of production responsibility system swept the whole loess plateau on a large scale. When the society in China changed dramatically, Sun Shaoping's three-year teaching career ended. Under the strong temptation of the outside world, he came to Huangyuan City to seek a breakthrough and became a very hard-working and authentic worker. However, when Shao Ping has a little leisure, he will still pick up a book and read a few pages. Through constant reading, Shao Ping realized that only when a person knows more about the world can he have a higher understanding of his own suffering.
One afternoon, Shao Ping met Tian Xiaoxia at the gate of the cinema. Xiao Xia's father has been promoted to secretary of Huangyuan District Committee, and Xiao Xia is also studying in Huangyuan Teachers College. Despite the disparity in status, Xiao Xia was conquered by Shao Ping's unique understanding of life. They agreed to meet once every Saturday, and the green seedlings of love gradually grew in their hearts. Xiao Xia was assigned to the provincial newspaper as a reporter after graduation. Before leaving Huangyuan, she went to visit the ancient pagoda mountain with Shao Ping. The clever Xiao Xia expressed her true feelings through a story. Deep in the shade, Shao Ping hugged Xiao Xia tightly.
In order to make a living and end the vagrancy, Shao Ping decided to work as a worker in Daya Bay Coal Mine. Here, he gets along well with his master, the Wang family. The kind-hearted Wang's wife Huiying and naughty son Mingming always make people feel at home. Xiao Xia wrote several letters, and she is still infatuated with Shao Ping. Later, Xiao Xia took the opportunity of an interview to visit Shao Ping. He said that he planned to devote himself to the coal industry and enter the coal baking technical school. Xiao Xia thinks she loves the man who digs coal more. Unfortunately, before long, Tian Xiaoxia died heroically to save people's lives on the flood front. Master Wang was killed by a steel beam to save his disciple An Suozi. Sun Shaoping was almost overwhelmed by great grief. At this time, Huiying gave him endless care and care. The hearts of two unscrupulous people are quietly approaching. Soon, Shao Ping was seriously injured by a big stone to save his workmates, and was sent to the provincial hospital in the mine. His life was saved, but Shao Ping left a terrible scar on his face. Later, he politely refused the courtship of female college student Jin Xiu and returned to Daya Bay Coal Mine. He saw Huiying with a red scarf wrapped around his head, Mingming with a red scarf floating on his chest and a puppy with two bells hanging around his neck running towards him ... Liu Genmin, a classmate of Shao An, introduced that Shao An was helping to pull bricks at the construction site. In the process of pulling bricks, Shao An saw the shortage of bricks, so he opened a brick kiln with the rhyme money earned by pulling bricks and made a lot of money. He was chosen as a pioneer by the commune and participated in the "Kuafu Fair" in the former West County. Sun Shaoan was greatly stimulated by Hu Yonghe, a pioneer with a bigger style. He feels that he can't be satisfied with the status quo and should let go of his hands and feet to develop his own career. After "Kuafuhui", he managed to borrow money to buy a brick-making machine and expand the scale of the brick kiln. With Shao Ansheng's prosperity, many relatives and neighbors in the village begged to do odd jobs in his brick kiln. Shao An couldn't bear to see the plight of the villagers, and a solemn sense of responsibility came into being. So I borrowed another loan-10,000 yuan for expansion? Brick factory employs more than 30 people as laborers in the village. Unfortunately, the brick-baking master he hired at a high salary this time is a liar, and all the bricks in Sun Shaoan have been burned. He can't pay the loan, nor can he pay the wages of the village laborers. Everyone immediately looked at him in another way.
People are often fragile, but people are the most tenacious. Shao An, encouraged by Xiulian, once again strove forward and embarked on the journey of starting a new business. He borrowed some money from Hu Yonghe, and his father Sun also took out pension money, and Shao An's brick kiln began to burn again. After the first batch of bricks came out of the kiln, they were sold out within three days. The money owed to everyone in the village was paid off immediately. In less than two years, profits rolled into Shao An's pocket. Shao An's bravery gradually grew. As soon as he heard that the township brick factory of the commune was going to close down, he rushed to sign the contract. At this time, Hu Yonghe found Shao An again and urged Shao An to go with him to sponsor TV stations to shoot TV. Shao Ping stopped him immediately after knowing it, and advised him not to use the money to do something practical for the villagers. Shao 'an invested in rebuilding Shuangshui Village Primary School. On the day of the school's inauguration, county and township leaders personally attended the "inauguration ceremony". Shao An's wife Xiulian is suffering from lung cancer at the moment, and there are endless ups and downs in life waiting for this peasant entrepreneur to taste.
Shao An and Shao Ping explore life in different ways. In this ordinary world, they are the real sons of the earth.

& lt Robinson Crusoe;
Robinson was born in a respectable merchant family, eager to sail and bent on seeing something overseas. He went to sea without telling his father. On his first voyage, he was caught in a big storm and the ship sank. He managed to escape. The second time I went out to sea to do business in Africa, I made a fortune. The third time, he was unfortunately captured by the Moors and became a slave. Later, he escaped by rowing his master's boat and was rescued by a Portuguese cargo ship on the way. After the ship arrived in Brazil, he bought a manor there and became the owner of the manor. Not content with getting rich in this way, he went out to sea and sold slaves in Africa.
On the way, the ship was attacked by a storm and all the sailors and passengers on board were killed. Only Robinson survived and drifted to an isolated island. He made a raft from the mast of the sunken ship, transported the food, clothes, guns, ammunition and tools from the ship to the shore again and again, and set up a tent on the hillside to settle down. Then he put a fence around the tent with sharpened stakes and dug a hole behind the tent to live. He used simple tools to make furniture such as tables and chairs, hunted game for food, and drank the water in the stream to tide over the initial difficulties.
He started planting barley and rice on the island, making wooden mortar, pestle and sieve, processing flour and baking coarse bread. He captured and domesticated wild goats and let them breed. He also makes pottery and so on to ensure his own needs. Even so, Robinson never gave up looking for a way to leave the island. He cut down a big tree and spent five or six months making a canoe, but the boat was too heavy to drag into the sea, so he had to give up all his previous efforts and build a small one himself.
Robinson lived alone on the island for 17 years. One day, he found that the coast of the island was covered with human bones, which had been burnt. It turned out that a group of savages from outer islands held a feast of human flesh here. Robinson was surprised. Since then, he has increased his vigilance and paid more attention to the things around him. Until the 24th year, another group of savages came to the island, ready to kill the captive. Robinson found and rescued one of them. Robinson named the rescued aborigines "Friday". From then on, "Friday" became Robinson's loyal servant and friend. Then Robinson took Friday to rescue a Spaniard and Friday's father. Soon an English ship was moored near the island, and the sailors on board made trouble and abandoned the captain and other three people on the island. Robinson and Friday helped the captain subdue the sailors and take back the ship. He left the sailors on the island and left the desert island for England with the captain on Friday. By this time, Robinson had been away from home for 35 years. He got married in England and has three children. After his wife died, Robinson went out to sea for business again, passing through the desert island where he lived. At this time, the sailors and Spaniards who stayed on the island have settled down and thrived. Robinson sent new immigrants, gave them the land on the island, left them all kinds of daily necessities, and left the island contentedly.

& lt Jane Eyre;
The uniqueness of Jane Eyre lies not only in the authenticity and strong appeal of the novel, but also in the fact that the novel has created an independent and enterprising female image that is not subject to secular pressure. The love story of Jane Eyre to Rochester in the novel vividly shows her fiery passion and sincere heart, and strongly reveals her love view. She despised the arrogance of powerful people, laughed at their stupidity, and showed independent personality and beautiful ideals. She boldly loved what she loved, but when she found that the person she loved still had a wife, she resolutely left the person and place she missed. The idea expressed in the novel, that is, women are unwilling to be assigned their position by society and demand independence and equality in work and even marriage, was extraordinary at that time and was also a great shock to the British literary world. At the fictional end of the novel, Jane Eyre gets a legacy and returns to the lonely and helpless Rochester. Although this plot is worthy of scrutiny, it reveals the author's ideal-women's independence and equality in economy, social status and family, and their unswerving loyalty to love.
