After reading Tolstoy's biography, China's great philosopher 1 said, "If Heaven wants to demote itself, it will be hard for it to work hard and confuse its actions ..."
This well-known saying got the essence of the same effect in Who's Who.
This book is romain rolland's most proud work, because he successfully recreates three talented people who created great figures in human history: Beethoven in Germany, Michelangelo in Italy and Tolstoy in Russia. He reproduces their colorful but tragic lives, their profound and painstaking works, and their enduring influence! This book is regarded as a classic in the field of literature, and its unique value makes "people seem to find a new support point from it", so it is rated as "the best 30 books in human history".
Therefore, we all hope to find the shining point of human nature that can support our progress in this book!
Beethoven was born in a poor family. He is not only short and ugly, but also unruly and eccentric. He was very ill and later became deaf in both ears. However, this great musician with strong self-esteem still believes, "No one can beat me, I will hold my destiny by the throat!" " "He engaged in music creation with extraordinary perseverance and fighting spirit, and wrote masterpieces such as the Ninth Symphony!
It's hard to imagine how to make a deaf-mute make peerless music. He can't even hear the thunderous applause from the audience! What a sad and passionate heart for music! How can he not give up his pursuit of music in the hard life of being down and out and unable to eat a meal? He used his will to sweep away his melancholy thoughts with irresistible force, overcame the double torture of body and spirit, and wrote a ode to joy at the last moment of his life!
Michelangelo was rich, but he was forced to work for the church. Every time he takes up a job, he is bound to be jealous and resentful by a group of little people. Like Beethoven, he was unmarried for life and failed to enjoy true love. I knew a few days before I died that I still stood with the statue all day, and finally left a masterpiece!
This is a tragic story, showing that a genius shed painful blood in order to conquer the world and create immortal masterpieces. Art is unparalleled, always pursuing perfection; But the spirit is weak, no strength can only struggle!
As for Tolstoy, he is kind, sensitive and self-reliant. He faced the whole aristocratic upper class, so he was taught by the church. He left behind masterpieces such as anna karenine, War and Peace! At the last moment of my life, I made up my mind to please the noble life.
Noble, with all the aristocratic status of the upper class, but Tolstoy doesn't want it! He is broad-minded, he cares about all the poor and longs for equality. He hopes that everyone in the society can live and work in peace and contentment, but he can't! The whole family can't understand him, because they don't have his generous mind and only care about selfish enjoyment! A noble who can give up everything, what kind of mind, how broad to give up all this!
Who's Who tells us that a great genius must fight against a vulgar and hostile society if he wants to win and complete his creative career.
The same is true of learning, which requires not only excellent talents, but also a small part. As Einstein said, "Genius is 1% inspiration plus 199% sweat."
To succeed, to achieve excellent results, only pay extraordinary sweat, hardships and efforts! Perhaps this process needs to pay a great price, just like the three great men, who have talent but nowhere to put it, but not enough heart! They face more difficulties than we learn. What they need to face is the abandonment or hostility of the whole society! In the face of this study, we only need to overcome the difficulties of laziness and uncertainty, and all problems will be solved by persistence!
This is the shining point of human nature, and it is what we should learn!
After reading Tolstoy's biography, people often say: "An excellent biography can not only let us know the world, but also let us know more about life."
Whose biographies: Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy. Their protagonists are musicians, sculptors and novelists. However, although their occupations and ages are different, they are pursuing the same ideal-striving for truth and justice.
In the face of pain and loneliness, Beethoven chose to stick to his beliefs. As a musician who can't hear any sound, he gives people the illusion of arrogance. For peace, Beethoven once said, "Any law can be broken as long as it is to get more beautiful things." This sentence accurately expressed his psychology of opposing autocracy at that time, didn't Michelangelo? He devoted his life to creating immortal masterpieces expressing truth, goodness and beauty. Because he believes that as long as his soul can be patient and brave, and does not blindly sink into suffering, then he will definitely break through the bondage of spirit and think of his ideal life. Tolstoy, on the other hand, used his pen to describe the darkness of the society at that time, and his belief in God was that he persistently spread the seeds of love to the world with the pen tip.
But they are also people like us-fulfilling the mission of life. If we know that we are weak and unfortunate people, please listen to romain rolland's voice: all those who can't do it! Don't complain too much, the best of mankind is with you. Draw on their courage as our nourishment; If we are too weak, let our heads rest on their knees for a while. They will comfort us that in these sacred hearts, there is a clear power and strong love that flies out like a torrent. You don't even need to explore their works or listen to their voices. In their eyes and stories, you can see that life has never been as big, full and happy as in troubled times. "
Facing the peaceful and beautiful society now, I will arm myself with hard study and rich knowledge and move towards a bright future. The Biography of WHO well confirms an old saying of China people: People who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times are not only talented, but also determined to persevere. 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.
Reflections on Tolstoy's Biography Part III Whose Biography is a novel full of passion and appeal, written by French writer romain rolland. This book consists of three parts: Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy. Among them, Tolstoy's biography is not only the heaviest one, but also the focus and essence of the whole book, which cannot be separated from the communication between the author and Tolstoy.
In Tolstoy's biography, the author exaggerates his love for Tolstoy and the answers he has found in life to the extreme, and the book is full of excitement and passion for fighting. From the main point of view, the three works are interlinked, namely: the fighting spirit of heroism. The author is using three spiritual "heroes" to inspire everyone to go forward bravely for the ideal of life, work hard, and find their own direction and happiness in the painful life with strong will.
The first chapter of Tolstoy's biography is called "the light that has disappeared recently" by the author, and it is also the introduction for the author to describe Tolstoy's whole "life and battle history".
The author completed the last chapter of this "complete symphony" with poetic language and prose structure: sometimes he recalled his life experience in a low voice, sometimes he swore his ambition, sometimes he rationally analyzed the difference between himself and other characters, and sometimes he coldly described his pain and confusion. ...
The Complete Biography of Tolstoy is a battle history of Tolstoy's unremitting pursuit of truth and love all his life. He dares to stick to the truth in his heart, even if he is isolated for it. He has a noble personality and dares to treat everything around him with a critical eye.
However, like Michelangelo, he also has weaknesses. His thought doesn't seem to keep pace with the times and he doesn't know anything about the development of modern science, which leads to the stagnation of his thought in Russian rural life, which is also reflected in his articles. He called all the important studies such as the origin of species, spectral analysis and the properties of radium "boring". He degraded Shakespeare to nothing and was indifferent to Michelangelo's works. Some people even think that Tolstoy is out of touch with this society. But his works touched us, and his last words shocked us. He is still a hero and "our brother". After all, no one is perfect.
In the process of reading, I obviously felt a passion, a praise for Tolstoy's noble personality and soul, and this passion contained the author's undisguised deep love for Tolstoy. This passionate writing deeply infects every one of us.
After reading Tolstoy's biography, people's attention to Tolstoy began when he stood in the world literary world. Among them, the famous biography of Tolstoy written by romain rolland plays a great role in studying Tolstoy. Because of my graduation thesis, I have been reading books on this subject, hoping to help the thesis to some extent.
This work is written in the form of biography, mostly in some critical language, lacking narrative and relatively boring. However, writers conceive their works in their own way, making them look less messy, but more organized and relatively compact. The writers narrate in a certain order: first, introduce Tolstoy's position in the history of literature, which can be compared with Shakespeare; Then introduce Tolstoy's life and family. He was born in a noble family, and many things around him were used as writing materials. Let's talk about the writer's religious beliefs again. He has been doubting, giving up and sticking to his beliefs all his life. When he has doubts about religion, his mood becomes very bad and he is in a state of doubt and anger about many things. He doesn't know why he did it. When he no longer believes in religion, his life has no pillar, and he devoted himself to school construction, but he did not succeed, which was even more unsatisfactory. When he insists again, he will find his way again and move on. Then it introduces Tolstoy's three masterpieces, War and Peace, anna karenine and Resurrection, combs the thoughts of these three works, and finds the prototype in the writer's life. Some characters are Tolstoy's family. Levin in anna karenine was created by Tolstoy himself. Like Levin, he experienced his brother's death and all kinds of depression and irritability, but he didn't get the final result like Levin. Finally, it introduces Tolstoy's addiction to art research in the last ten years of his life.
Tolstoy's understanding of human beings can be seen in his works. His works are a true portrayal of people at that time. He can write about a woman's real feelings when she was pregnant, or about Ivan Ili's fear when she died. I can also write about the feeling of teenagers riding horses for the first time.
Tolstoy is such a brave man who fights against the spiritual devil and a wise man who makes friends with the sage of thought. The author put me off with rhetoric, and there appeared such a Tolstoy.
He is a strong and energetic old man. He often exercises and keeps an open mind to new things. His face is rough, just like any farmer, any country aristocrat, any officer and any hunter who works in the fields. His face is an ordinary Russian except for his eyes that can expose all lies and his bishop-like beard. Tolstoy was meticulous as an artist. He will make the printer reprint because of an inappropriate metaphor. Just for flawless works. Tolstoy's works have one characteristic: complete truth. Because of this, he became a master in the literary world and the most humane person among all mankind.
I finally finished reading this biography of the soul. I especially admire the author, Mr. Zweig. He can analyze other people's thoughts so accurately. I believe he is also a master. Like lev tolstoy, I want to be an indestructible person mentally and physically, and a real, ordinary and great person.
When I close this book, I don't want to put it in a black box, and I'm not complaining that it's not a real biography. This makes me know Tolstoy better. I will always put it on the top shelf and open it from time to time. Maybe I will have a new feeling.
After reading Tolstoy's biography, I was deeply touched by reading Tolstoy's biography with reverence. Lev tolstoy, a wonderful Russian art, used his legendary and contradictory life to show us the religion of "love" he painstakingly founded, and used it to judge the standard "morality" of things, that is, love, kindness and sincerity. His vision of beauty, he observed the people he saw with near-perfect realism, and explored and thought about life with his great love. Following the ups and downs of his life, what touched me was not only his noble soul, but also my persistence in the realm I pursued all my life.
From childhood and adolescence to War and Peace and Anna karenin, Tolstoy integrated his life into these stories. The different fates of the characters in the book and the turning point of their thoughts all reflect his figure. In his childhood, he had a pure and kind heart and always found Excellence from others. What a gentle feeling! When he was young, like most people, his thoughts were a little confused. He is ugly, loves metaphysical talk, and even degenerates into gambling and debt, indulging in the life of a "decent man". But deep-rooted sincerity saved him, and "Nekhludoff" in his works became his incarnation, with different fates and different endings. From Ode to Youth and Caucasus, we can see Gosak's inner peace.
In the war, he praised and analyzed all the warriors who struggled and martyrs who died through his own real experience; He is out of place in the literati circle of St. Petersburg. He used his own moral standards to examine this literary group. He even harbored hatred and contempt for Turgenev ... Later, in the process of purifying and maturing his thoughts, no matter how contrary the reality was to the truth in his heart, he still had this firm heart and dared to show his ugliness to everyone, self-repentance and self-criticism; Under the protection of marriage, he gained temporary peace and tranquility, and he began to go deep into life, pay attention to reality, enter the people and create a masterpiece. The tragic situation in Moscow deeply touched him. No one is perfect and makes mistakes. He simply didn't understand how important the Renaissance was to the development of human society, and he didn't understand what perseverance human beings needed to struggle and fight for survival and development, but he still looked at the world with sincere and kind eyes. In his later years, he was miserable, forced to run away from home and finally got a permanent rest.
Tolstoy's literary achievements are indisputable. He used a bumpy and difficult life to write a firm belief in sincerity and kindness. This persistent spirit, this love, is worth learning and developing for each of us. "It is still a superstar that soothes the world, and its light is still enough to attract and soothe the souls of our youth." Yes, this spirit will become a star, illuminating and guiding my way forward.
Tolstoy's rough face is long and heavy, with short hair covering his forehead, small eyes, wide nose, big lips protruding forward and wide ears. Because he could not change his ugly face, he felt pain in his childhood. He studied in a place called Kazan, and his grades were average. He's lonely.
In the memory of his family, several people chose Tolstoy as the most special typical figure in his War and Peace: for example, his grandfather, the old prince of Volkonski, was a representative of the autocratic aristocracy in the era of Catherine II; His mother, Princess Maria, is a gentle and ugly woman with beautiful eyes. Her kind light shines on war and peace.
Although he didn't know much about his parents (he was less than two years old when his mother died), at least he still had some memories of his father. This is a kind and humorous person, with melancholy eyes, living an independent and unruly life in his food city; Tolstoy was only nine years old when his father died. This death made him understand the sad reality for the first time, and his heart was full of despair.
But unconsciously, he was driven by the enthusiasm, strong emotion and exaggerated self-esteem of teenagers, so that this belief in pursuing perfection lost its utilitarian essence and became practical and material. He also slowly learned to be dissolute. Finally, one thing saved him: absolute sincerity, frankness and kindness.
In the end, he became a Russian writer and "a mirror of Russia" through his own efforts.
After reading Tolstoy's biography, I understand that it is by no means the environment or the chance that affects our success. But whether we can keep a strong heart and an unyielding belief.
Tolstoy, the great soul of Russia who shines on the earth, and the superstar given to us by heaven, was deeply attracted by this most dazzling light.
1886, his powerful pen wrote a series of works, which let us closely follow Tolstoy's contradictory experience of adventure life step by step. These works describe the darkness of the society at that time, and the belief in God is that he persistently spread the seeds of love to the world with the pen tip. I deeply realized that he insisted on faith and wrote life for truth and justice. I was deeply shocked by the hero's lofty courage to fight against fate and his long-term suffering in pursuing truth, goodness and beauty.
Tolstoy lost his mother at the age of two and his father at the age of nine. As a teenager, Tolstoy was not only troubled by his own thoughts, but also despaired of his ugly appearance.
Tolstoy got married in 1862, and his happy family life gave him enough time and energy to create masterpieces that shocked the whole novel circle in19th century: War and Peace and Anna karenin. However, Tolstoy is distressed: he has status and wealth, but he is often ashamed of his rich life; He sympathizes with the lower classes and lacks confidence in them. So he was tired of his own life, determined to break with his own society, and could not get people's support. Mentally, he has always been lonely. Resurrection was his greatest achievement in his later years, when Tolstoy was seventy years old. On his deathbed, he cried, not for himself, but for the unfortunate people in the world. So, on the morning of191065438+10, the moment he called "liberation" came, "death, a commendable death ..."
From Tolstoy's experience, I got a truth: when encountering difficulties and crises, we must go forward bravely. Don't give up, if you give up, all your expectations will be gone, but if you can seize the opportunity and try your best to solve the problem, it may be a Wang Yang. As long as you keep thinking, there will be unexpected gains! Come on!
After Tolstoy's biography and reading, a great soul blazed a flame on the land of Russia a hundred years ago, and the purest brilliance shone on our hearts. In the cloudy dusk of the late19th century, it is a star that soothes the world, and its eyes are enough to soothe the hearts of our teenagers.
In France, many people think he is not only a beloved artist, but also a friend and best friend. Leo Tolstoy is the only true friend in all Europa arts. He has a long and big rough face, short hair covering his forehead, small eyes, a wide nose, big lips protruding forward and wide ears. Because he couldn't change his ugly face, he felt very painful in his childhood. He studied in a place called Kazan, and his grades were average. He's lonely. In the memory of his family, several people chose Tolstoy as the most special typical figure in his War and Peace: for example, his grandfather, the old prince of Volkonski, was a representative of the autocratic aristocracy in the era of Catherine II; His mother, Princess Maria, is a gentle and ugly woman with beautiful eyes. Her kind light shines on war and peace. Although I am not familiar with my parents, I can at least stick to some memories of my father. This is a kind and humorous man, with melancholy eyes, living an independent and unruly life in his city; Tolstoy was only nine years old when his father died. This death made him understand the sad reality for the first time, and his heart was full of despair. But unconsciously, he was driven by the enthusiasm, strong emotion and exaggerated self-esteem of teenagers, so that this belief in pursuing perfection lost its utilitarian essence and became practical and material. He also slowly learned to be dissolute. Finally, one thing saved him: absolute sincerity, frankness and kindness.
In the end, he became a Russian Chinese writer through his own efforts. It is by no means the environment or experience that affects our success. But whether we can stick to a strong heart and an unyielding belief.
After reading Tolstoy's biography, I learned the life story of Tolstoy, a great Russian writer, from the biography of Who by French writer Roman 6 1 Roland. His character of paying attention to people's sufferings, loving literature, being good at observing and summarizing, striving for perfection and writing books deeply touched me.
He was born in a prominent family, grew up in a noble family, and lived in luxury since childhood, but he did not brutally exploit civilians like other rich people. As an adult, he once went to the village to distribute food to farmers, gave part of his forest to farmers for management, and abolished corporal punishment of serfs. In the hierarchical feudal society, the landlord class and the peasant class are completely opposite classes. He can consider the interests of farmers, indicating that he hates decadent aristocratic life and wants to draw a line with his family.
He loves his motherland. When there was a war in the motherland, he stepped forward and resolutely joined the army. 1854, Britain and France declared war on Russia, and the Crimean war broke out in an all-round way. Tolstoy came to Sevastopol front. In the battle, regardless of his personal safety, he rushed to the front and was awarded a medal for his outstanding performance. Supposedly, he should be paid more, but he doesn't value these, which shows that he is a gentleman who is indifferent to fame and fortune. People don't consider promotion or generous material rewards. He must be thinking in his heart: it is my responsibility to defend my country, and I feel extremely honored to serve it. What he values more is the friends he made in the war. Everyone is in the bullets with * * * life and death together, a friend in need is a friend indeed. This shows that he is a man who values affection and righteousness.
He is rigorous and conscientious in literary creation and strives for perfection. The concept of "Anna 6 1 Karenina" began at 1870. The original creation of the novel took only 50 days, but Tolstoy was not satisfied. After dozens of revisions and 12 major revisions, it was officially published four years later. At this time, the abandoned manuscript of the novel is as high as more than one meter! Facts speak plainer than words. From Tolstoy, I saw a great literary master's tireless, trouble-free and meticulous character. He is not proud, narcissistic, and thinks he has a high level. He doesn't need to be too serious, but he is strict with himself and corrects it again and again until he is satisfied. He respects every expression of himself and every reader. No matter how perfect a work is, it can't be handed down to future generations without repeated carving. It can be seen that writing is an arduous task. We should not only choose words carefully, but also pay attention to details and strive for perfection. From an article to a book, the author has condensed countless sweat and wisdom.
Tolstoy deserves to be a famous literary master at home and abroad. His life is a life of constant struggle and pursuit of lofty realm!
Tolstoy's thoughts on reading 10 "I think the beauty of a person lies in a smile; If this smile increases the charm of the face, the face is beautiful; If this smile does not change it, it is ordinary; If this smile hurts it, it is ugly. " This man is lev tolstoy.
Tolstoy is the most famous literary master in Russia. He wrote many literary works, which are still shining today. Such as War and Peace, anna karenine, Resurrection and other works with far-reaching influence in the history of world literature.
Tolstoy's life is lonely. After his death, his body was buried in a quiet forest without tombstones and crosses. However, the brilliance of human nature created by his lifelong efforts has erected an immortal monument, which stands high at the top of19th century literature. Zweig called it "the most beautiful tomb".
He is a great man, he always carries a pen with him, and he will meticulously record the inspiration he comes across. As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as bad writing. Good study habits will be a ladder to success. If I can always carry a pen and notebook and write down what I like and hear every day, then writing a composition will come naturally and it will be less laborious.
Rome was not built in a day. After reading this book, I deeply feel that only by forming good habits and accumulating knowledge can I become an excellent person.
I was fortunate to read romain rolland's Biography of lev tolstoy recently. Lev tolstoy, the hero, lost his father at the age of 9. The death of his father made him understand the tragic reality for the first time and filled his heart with depression and despair. When he was young, he was often troubled by his own thoughts and deeply troubled by his ugly appearance. Later, he had status and wealth, but he was ashamed of his wealth, so he was tired of life. Finally, he left home on a cold night. When he was dying in an unknown town, he cried and said to the people around him, "Millions of creatures on the earth are suffering. Why is everyone taking care of a lev tolstoy there?" In fact, Tolstoy questioned the whole life and responded to the painful mind. As he said, death is a kind of "liberation" and death is a kind of happy death.
Lev tolstoy's clever question makes me curious. When I first met her, a dying old man was still thinking of others. I admire his idea. His spirit taught me. His behavior reminds me of a girl who decided to join the army when she grew up. When I first met her, she was sitting by the window in the class. In winter, a ray of sunshine shines into the classroom and falls on her. When she looked up at me, I was moved by her lovely face and beautiful smile. When she greeted me, I didn't hesitate to sit next to her and talk to her. I thought she was a cheerful girl, and our relationship was getting closer and closer. In the future communication, I understood that her parents died when they were young, and now she lives with her grandparents, and there is another one that no one wants to talk about. Her left leg and right leg are different in length. She is disabled, but she always seems indifferent. In fact, we all know that she is actually very sad, but she is a strong girl. She doesn't want others to see her unhappy. She often says loudly to us, "I want to be a soldier when I grow up, to defend our motherland and help those in need."
But all her misfortunes can't hide her quality and spirit. Always considerate of others, she always reaches out when others need help. I remember once, she was scolded by others for helping others with kindness: "A lame man still wants to curry favor with others and pretend to be a good person." She came to me sadly and said to me in tears, "Although I am disabled, I have a sound heart. My help to others is also a help to society. I want to make a little contribution to the country and bring myself closer to my dreams. " Listening to her words, my eyes blurred. I, a person with sound limbs and mental health, should contribute to the society and the motherland. Because of my motherland, I have a home. Because of my motherland, I have joy. Because of my motherland, I have learned knowledge and gained harvest. As a middle school student in New China, I am extremely proud of the rapid development and achievements of my motherland. I must study hard and contribute my strength.
Tragic fate befalls not only ordinary people, but also great men. Although it enjoys a high reputation, it cannot be spared the painful test. Tolstoy's persistence in writing and yearning for freedom are worth learning, and his life experience is worth thinking about. Therefore, we should read lev tolstoy's biography and live like him.
