His masterpiece War and Peace ranks first among the top ten masterpieces in the world!
Ten world famous works and his other novel anna karenine!
Which writer can have two works standing proudly among countless world famous works!
Both of these works are very long.
Of course, before ranking, it was not because of Tolstoy's efforts.
Nor is it because the length of the work is dominant.
But because, wherever his brush strokes reach, lifelike characters emerge. He always describes complicated inner activities, trivial life and surrounding environment. He ignored the priorities of the characters in the story, ignored their identities and status, and treated them equally. There are almost no countless ink splashes on the protagonist's body because of his preference. This kind of thing, if it happens in the story of an ordinary writer, we should angrily denounce him for not even highlighting the primary and secondary. Is he still worth writing?
This pen of literature, in Tolstoy's hands, can write regardless of priority and length. Different skills have the opposite effect. Because, from his works, readers have long expected to read a wonderful and charming story. We have higher expectations for his works. I hope he can show the appearance of each character, the psychological thinking of each character, and all kinds of views that each character presents when thinking about life issues such as education, art, war, loyalty, patriotism and faith. Because we know that the author expresses his views through the mouth of the characters in the novel. Every point of view is thought by the author. Without the author's positive and negative thinking, there would be no different views of many characters in the novel. It is every point of view, every sentence and even every word of Tuo Weng that makes our readers feel precious.
In the literary world, the characters in the story are like puppets in our Chinese puppet show. The author is the informant behind it. The most incredible thing is: in the puppet show, every puppet has a puller; In the novel, even if there are 200 characters, there is only one author who controls their fate. Some works have dozens of characters and only describe a few main characters, even if the characters are complex. In Toona's book, he not only mercilessly dug a hole for himself, but also created 150 characters. He also focused on dozens of characters in it. It's hard to write such a layout when meeting people. A writer with poor internal skills is afraid to write like this. Because if the operation is not good, it is easy to give readers a sense of focus imbalance regardless of primary and secondary. Only a literary master like Tolstoy can hold the magic weapon like Excalibur. He can firmly control it and let it show the various dimensions of the characters, the external world and the internal world.
Novel is a world. The writer is the God of this world, and he knows everyone's joys and sorrows. Then, arrange the ending of each role. The ending is unexpected, beautiful, helpless and regrettable, just like everyone's joys and sorrows in life. Let's look at some characters in Anna.
Although his name is anna karenine, the real protagonist is Levin. The author transferred the property in this novel to Anna's name for several reasons.
First of all, Anna is a woman. As long as they are women, they should be given priority in the eyes of westerners. Although Levin is only a big landlord, he also has this gentlemanly demeanor.
Secondly, Anna is a stunning beauty. In the face of stunning beauty, even if there is no gentlemanly demeanor, there is love.
Third, Anna is a tragedy. She was married, had an affair, had an illegitimate daughter, eloped, doubted her lover, and finally committed suicide on the track. Such a story, which is prominent on the front page, is obviously more attractive. If it's Levin, it's an ugly man, a farmer, raising chickens and sheep, mowing grass, marrying beautiful women and trying to run away from home. I don't think this kind of story attracts many readers. If you are really so honest, this world masterpiece will become an orphan with the wrong name and no one loves you.
Thun's real protagonist is Levin for several reasons.
First, there is a contrast between Anna's tragic life and Levin's comedy ending. By showing Anna's sadness in detail, Tuo Weng left a lesson for readers. Don't cheat easily, it's hard to bear losing women's status. At the same time, by describing Levin's hardships on the road to happiness and the torture of ideological exploration, he finally realized the power of faith and provided readers with a road to happiness for ordinary people.
Secondly, after Anna committed suicide, she basically stopped telling this story. Like the waves of the sea, she disappeared without a trace. Even when explaining other characters related to her, she didn't say a word. Anyway, Thon spent 50 pages at the end writing about Levin's pursuit of faith.
Third, Levin is Thorne himself. He is a writer who always takes himself as the protagonist. People may not believe that such a top writer has such narcissism. However, this is a fact. Our lovely writer doesn't want to be the leading role. He expressed it through his works: the perspective of his earl status, his values, beliefs, the face of the upper class at that time, and the mentality of serfs. All kinds of society and inner Vientiane are displayed through the protagonist of his incarnation.
In his three works, Thon's own shadow can be seen everywhere: the protagonist Count Pierre in War and Peace (although we prefer Andre as the protagonist); Levin, the protagonist in anna karenine (although Anna is the protagonist on the surface); The resurrected Nekhludoff (absolute protagonist: handsome, rich, duke, kind). In addition, although these leading men are sometimes handsome and charming; Sometimes plain, sometimes vulgar, sometimes arrogant. However, they all have the same characteristics. Their parents are dead, and their status is noble, at least the count; They are rich in property and own a large area of land; They are different, or incompatible with the mainstream society; They are kind-hearted and always reflective ... all these similarities are to express the author's own thinking. From the perspective of these characters, we dug a hole in the iron wall of the upper class, and got a glimpse of the world where people are leading a life of intoxication, including passive self-indulgence, active achievements, laissez-faire, miserly, frivolous, and progress in working all night at their desks. It is more realistic to understand the real upper class through the writers of the upper class.
Tuo Weng likes to write about himself rather than himself, so he shoulders the mission of a writer. That sense of mission is etched in the genes of all his literary cells. Therefore, he has a mission to express the diversity of his society. He has a mission, which is to explore faith and how to live a quiet and happy life. He also has a mission, which is to explore the system of liberating serfs in his own territory. He is a born writer. Because his thoughts are always improving, his works always convey a kind of guidance. He constantly groped for psychological changes and showed real psychological activities. For example, honesty and kindness, such as Levin, also flashed when taking care of his dying brother, hoping that he would die early because of torture. This real protagonist is hard to see in other works. However, in Tuo Weng's works, it can be seen everywhere. It is this truth that makes us miss his works.
Let's look at Anna again. At a young age, she married karenin, who was devoted to her work, held a high position and loved her dearly.
She is a rich and extreme woman.
At first, karenin and I got married, not because of love, but because of menstruation's arrangement. Worship of her husband and love for her son made her live a life of food and clothing in the upper class for seven years. Nature plays tricks on people, but when she goes to help her brother deal with his romantic debts, she falls into her own love robbery. Besides, this robbery will kill her young life. .
She is a woman as beautiful as a rock.
Growing up like this, I didn't meet love. It seems that I am sorry for this perfect skin. I believe she and Alex fell in love at first sight. Rock-breaking surface, the frequency is similar. They are just right. They all have such faces. Wherever you go, others can feel that they are the two most valuable people with their eyes closed. Therefore, there is naturally a fire of love between them. Alex is a playboy. He had an affair with Katie before he met Anna. He has the status of an earl and rich family property. When Anna's brother was holding an annual salary of100000, relying on the annual interest of his father's family property and the subsidy of his mother, he had an annuity of 6.5438+0.5 million. Such income, up to now, is also a standard rich second generation. Such a person, doing nothing, once he meets Anna who touched him, sets getting Anna's love as his life goal. However, Anna could have refused, but she was not firm enough. I can't blame her. She is a sentimental woman. Either choose not to love, once she begins to love, she can't help it. She said to herself, "Don't talk to me about love, it means too much to me." Just like a flood rushing out of a sluice, once it pours, it can't be controlled.
She is a sensitive woman.
When Alex is indifferent to his intentions, she can't stand wild speculation. Finally, choose death to end this sadomasochism. Actually, their love is still there. Just, not only love, but also the helplessness of reality. The flame of love can't burn warmly forever, so leave some to continue slowly. She doesn't understand that there is no eternal passion. Once the passion faded, she began to be sensitive and suspicious of non-existent women. Such a woman who lives forever for love really doesn't know where the ending will go. There are really many problems behind this elopement relationship. Anna was spurned by the mainstream society, Alex gave up his position, fame in the army, and turned against his mother, which he could bear. But the biggest problem is that he and Anna cannot get married. Their daughters and sons cannot inherit his surname and title. Anna didn't even think about these things. As the passion faded, Alex had to face these pressures. At the same time, we should constantly comfort Anna, who is psychologically fragile. Give her a glass of wine from time to time that promises to love each other forever. This serious imbalance, unable to communicate and understand, is the biggest problem between them. Alex's love for Anna has faded. I have seen such a scene, which is unforgettable. He looked at Anna, who was still beautiful, and thought of "a delicate flower picked by passers-by and gradually withered."
Tuo Weng is still kind. When Alex finally abandoned Anna and their love withered, he didn't write about Anna's shame. But when Alex still loved her and was responsible for her, he wrote an abrupt ending to Anna. This ending is entirely due to Anna's considerations of gain and loss, unreasonable suspicion, or the result of taking morphine.
Tuo Weng is heartless again. She let Anna humiliate her life and die under her own fantasies and doubts. This is a crazy practice. People in born to love can't live and die for love. This is probably also a tragedy.
Generally speaking, this book is about love and responsibility. As for Tuo Weng's praise or criticism of Anna, it depends on personal understanding. There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people. Then, in the eyes of a thousand readers, there are also a thousand Anna. We can praise her for putting out the fire for the moth of love, or criticize him for abandoning her husband and children for love; We can appreciate her openness or scold her for being desperate; We can marvel at her death for love, or we can resent her extreme behavior. ......
Through Anna's misfortune and Kitty Levin's happiness, the author still wants to show a point: only responsible love can be happy. Can people who are crazy about love endure the mediocrity after love fades?
Have people who are bound by love learned the skills to get along with each other, so that the rose of love will never be defeated?
After all, after the dazzling fireworks bloom, the plain life is what life has been like for a long time.
Lev tolstoy is such a faithful writer. He writes about himself. He has been a member of the upper class all his life. He was rich and carefree all his life. However, they often fell into a mental dilemma because they sympathized with serfs. When he sees the miserable life of serfs, he will feel uneasy and suspect that his extravagant life is illegal. Then I cultivated the land myself and took the initiative to live a frugal life. He will also explore land reform and want to distribute the land to his serfs. His works have a mission, which is to truly show the Vientiane of the upper class and show it to the general public. He did not deliberately use rhetoric, but he got an effect that rhetoric could not achieve. He was born to write. His identity as a writer is actually his mission in life. His works are highly sought after, and his identity as a writer is highly affirmed, but he is uneasy. Any fame and fortune has nothing to do with him. He left home in his 80s to explore the meaning of life. He has a pure heart, kindness and piety, and he always writes works to comfort many wavering and confused souls.
He has been exploring human psychology, beliefs and life all his life. The value of his life is measured by depth.
