Comments on Tolstoy 1 Who's Who is romain rolland's most proud work, because he successfully recreated three talented and creative people in human history: German Beethoven, Italian Michelangelo and Russian Tolstoy. He reproduces their colorful but tragic lives, their profound and extensive 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 remained 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!
Tolstoy's reading thoughts 2 However, 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.
185 1 year, Tolstoy came to the Caucasus, and the clear environment surrounded by mountains made his chaotic brain wake up. The following year, he created excellent works such as Childhood, Teenager, Youth and Morning of a Landlord. 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 karenine. 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. Mentally, he has always been lonely. At the age of eighty-two, he chose to run away and died in a small railway station.
Although others say that he is a "genius", in Who's Who, he himself said: I am just an ordinary person, I am not a genius, and I have reached the peak of world culture with unremitting efforts and desperate pursuit of my life the day after tomorrow.
Everyone has his own essence in his life. We should know ourselves, choose the direction and pursue seriously. "If everyone can realize the value of tapping the door of wisdom and have the courage and determination to do their job down to earth, I think we can proudly announce that I am not a genius, but I am a success!
Tolstoy's Reflection 3 Today, I read the third chapter "Military Life" and learned about lev tolstoy's military legend.
From1853165438+10, Russia declared war on Turkey. Lev tolstoy crisscrossed the north and south, but he always had a patriotic heart. He fought bravely and was often in danger, but this did not make him lose confidence in writing. It was under the protection of this bunker that they wrote down their own sadness and his own sadness in their indelible chronicle of Sevastopol. These three chronicles-1854/kloc-Sevastopol in February,1Sevastopol in May, 855 and1Sevastopol in August, 855-all reflect lev tolstoy's deep patriotism. I learned about the cruelty of war through lev tolstoy's description, and the comedy of this world is still evolving towards death. In particular, fear was clearly recognized by him, and he unveiled it and exposed it naked. During this period, lev tolstoy wrote many works one after another, such as Two Hussars, Diary of Several People, Three Dead People and so on.
However, six months later, he wrote Polly Kuska and returned to Beautiful Lies.
Tolstoy's reading experience 4 "One hundred years ago, a great Russian lit the purest torch for our generation, illuminating our youth." This is lev tolstoy.
Leo nikolayevich was born in a small village in the south of Moscow on 1828, and he never left his hometown until he died 82 years later. Tolstoy lost his mother at the age of two and his father at the age of nine. There are two enthusiastic women who take care of Tolstoy and his four brothers and sisters.
Once, he kissed an old horse and asked for forgiveness for making him suffer. At this time, his future talent has been revealed: he has imagination and often tears for his imaginary stories; His restless brain always tries to think about people's inner thoughts; His precocious observation and memory; His sharp eyes can tell from the faces of funeral participants whether they are really sad.
He himself said that when he was five years old, he felt for the first time that "life is not a kind of enjoyment, but a very heavy slavery."
His grades are average. He called his childhood a desert period: "a piece of yellow sand, blowing hot air." He is lonely and his thoughts are always confused. He knew he was ugly, and he gambled and was heavily in debt just like other "decent people". "That's pure debauchery." Romain rolland commented.
"Sincerity" saved him, and when he was in the most dissolute behavior, he could criticize himself clearly and mercilessly. This independent judgment has been used to criticize social customs and superstitions when he was in college in other years. He looked down on the knowledge of university teaching, refused to do formal historical research, and was suspended from school because of his bold thinking.
From 65438 to 0852, Tolstoy's genius blossomed for the first time. He wrote: childhood, a landlord's morning, attack and youth.
Childhood is quite helpful to his fame. Among all these works, the one that becomes the highest peak of the first mountain range is one of Tolstoy's most beautiful lyric novels, and it is also a poem of his Caucasian youth song Cossack. As he himself said: "Almighty God of Youth, the impulse to die." From this perspective, this book is unique.
Tolstoy's happy marriage gave him a taste of peace and harmony that he had never had for many years in ten to fifteen years. So, under the protection of love, he calmly thought and realized his masterpieces-War and Peace and Anna karenin.
In subsequent works, Tolstoy added these warnings to keep mental health. "What shall we do?" "What is our faith?" Art Criticism and What is Art ... One is to create human unity with love, and the other is to fight against the enemies who love them. He wrote: Death of Ivan ilych, Collection of Folk Stories, Power of Darkness, Song of Clercy and Master and Servant. At the peak and extreme of this artistic creation stage, Resurrection appeared. "Just like Notre Dame has two towers, one symbolizing eternal love and the other symbolizing hatred for the world. "
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 ..."
Romain rolland compared Tolstoy's life to "eighty-two years as a battlefield". "All the forces of life, all the evils and virtues are involved in this glorious and tragic melee. -All the sins except one are lies that he pursued and refused to let go even in the last refuge. "
He has the sweetest and warmest name, which is "our brother"
Tolstoy's reading experience 5 "Heaven will send him down, so we must first suffer his mind, work his bones and muscles, starve his body and empty his body ..." is reflected in lev tolstoy's miserable and bumpy life.
For the first time, he felt that "life is not a pleasure, but a very heavy job." It was at the age of five. As he said, he experienced a period of desert youth and was swept by a burst of fanatical winds. He is lonely, and his thoughts are in a state of eternal fanaticism. He is as ugly as a monkey. His face is rough, long and heavy, and his short hair covers his forehead. Small eyes hidden in gloomy eyes are serious, with wide nose protruding forward, thick lips and wide ears. Because he can't change this ugly face, he has felt despair and pain many times, but he is absolutely sincere and reliable, brave and conscientious, and his heart is burning with enthusiasm and patriotism. He is willing to give his life for his motherland. He has a unique idea, bold and full of vitality, never giving up art and never interrupting his artistic creation.
He is great because he loves human nature, sympathizes with the masses, and never challenges his opponents with a fighting attitude, which is very similar to our party. The party treats everyone and everything with her broad and peaceful attitude. Although we have experienced many hardships, we have never been convinced by difficulties. During eight years of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and ten years of civil war, our party finally won with amazing strength. The people of China are United and form an indestructible wall. China people's obsession with dragons has gone through many sharp edges and corners, but they have not been intimidated. But after clearing the dark clouds, I waved the flag and shouted "China is not afraid" for myself. China's spirit has been passed down for thousands of years. Today, the motherland accepts all directions with an open mind.
Through the spirit of lev tolstoy, I saw the rise of the motherland in the midst of suffering, and I thought of myself. On the road of life, some people want to take a walk, others want to be a swift horse, and I chose the latter. I found that my confusion and helplessness originated from this choice. It is precisely because of this unremitting pursuit, heavy study tasks and fierce competition that I am exhausted, lose my self-confidence and find it difficult to cope with all kinds of exams. Therefore, I feel confused and helpless. When I was studying in lev tolstoy, I felt lev tolstoy's spirit of never giving up in the face of difficulties, which made me move forward firmly instead of complaining. Cheer for myself and shout for the motherland, because I have the ambition to never give up, so cheer together! Because my motherland has strong fighting spirit.
Tolstoy's Reading Experience 6 In my spare time, I opened the biography of lev tolstoy and experienced Tolstoy's hard life growth.
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 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 don't know my parents very well (he was less than one year old when my mother died), at least I can keep 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 and filled his heart with 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.
Tolstoy Tolstoy, one of my favorite writers. The representative works of the peak period include Cossack War and Peaceful Childhood. This made me feel good about Tolstoy.
Tolstoy's greatest difficulty in reality is mainly in the spiritual level. Faced with great inner doubts and contradictions, he finally created many immortal masterpieces. He is not only a master of literature, but also a thinker with world influence because of his exposition of life, religion and society. Tolstoy never gave up his pursuit of the true meaning of life. He has been thinking about the barriers and contradictions between the upper and lower classes of society and between landlords and serfs. The root of farmers' poverty reflects his humanitarian thought, but it is also the contradiction and root of his thought.
Tolstoy wrote a landlord's morning reflecting his own life. There is a paragraph that Nekhludoff visited a village, but he was met with cold reception, ridicule and stubborn suspicion ... much like Tolstoy himself. He was criticized by public opinion, and Tolstoy's family, from warmth to division, has been riddled with holes and vulnerable. But Tolstoy did not give up. Under such difficult conditions, he wrote Polly, Kuska, anna karenine and others.
In life and study, we have to learn Tolstoy's qualities and encounter difficulties. Don't always think about relying on the mountain, but have the spirit of going forward bravely. Only in this way can you be as successful as Tolstoy.
Tolstoy's Random Thoughts on Reading 8 "A century ago, the great soul of Russia burning on the earth was once the purest light shining in our youth. At the end of 19, it is the soothing star, and its eyes attract and soothe the hearts of our teenagers. " This is a heartfelt description and praise of Tolstoy by romain rolland, the author of Who's Who. The author put him last, not only because they lived in the same era, but also because Tolstoy's influence spread all over the world.
His background is much better than the first two, and he is a Russian aristocratic family. He received a typical Russian aristocratic education from an early age. It is precisely because of this that his sympathy for ordinary people and his critical attitude towards serfdom are more sharply highlighted. He was wild when he was young, but as he observed people's lives more and more deeply, he became more and more disgusted with his identity and supported the Russian people's struggle in spirit. His three masterpieces, Resurrection, War and Peace and Anna karenin, all reflect his great national spirit and profound criticism of the capitalist system.
As a member of a socialist country, I think how excited he will be if he sees that democracy has spread widely in the world a hundred years later! He said: "I think at this definite moment, the great revolution that has been brewing in the Christian world for two thousand years has begun-it will replace corrupt Christianity and the ruling system derived from it with real Christianity, which is the basis of equality for all people and the real freedom that all rational people yearn for." Unfortunately, he died on the eve of victory and failed to witness the victory of the person he dreamed of. Tolstoy, I admire your great national spirit, and your soul will continue to shine!
Tolstoy's Reading Thought 9 Tolstoy has attracted people's attention since he stood in the world literary world, the most famous of which is the biography of Tolstoy written by romain rolland, which plays a great role in studying Tolstoy. Because of my graduation thesis, I have been reading books on this subject. I hope it will help my thesis.
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 persists again, he will find his own way again. 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.
To my surprise, Countess Tolstoy plays an important role in Tolstoy's literary creation. She created a quiet and harmonious creative environment for Tolstoy and always supported Tolstoy's literary creation. It is because of this family environment that Tolstoy persisted in his creation. However, after the completion of anna karenine, Tolstoy devoted himself to artistic evaluation, and no matter how the countess persuaded him, it could not be redeemed. Tolstoy's post-Tolstoy works are hard to get constant praise from everyone. Resurrection can be said to be the last peak of Tolstoy's creation.
This work by romain rolland made me know Tolstoy better. No matter how great a man is, he has his shortcomings. The writer did not see Tolstoy's shortcomings because he loved him, but made a correct evaluation of his favorite places and a normal evaluation of everyone's evaluation of him at that time. This paper objectively evaluates the author's works in recent years and points out its shortcomings. The whole biography is well-structured and well-founded. The analysis of Tolstoy's works is very objective, and there is no saying that people follow suit. The whole work is an overview of Tolstoy's life works, with detailed descriptions and clear views, which can show the writer's likes and dislikes of Tolstoy.
At the end of the work, some appendices were added, which briefly introduced Tolstoy's legacy, but also left some regrets. Some works are compact and fresh, which can be compared with the most wonderful chapters in Resurrection. Tolstoy had correspondence with many Asian countries, among which Laozi, who liked China best, ruled by doing nothing. Tolstoy advocated inaction, non-resistance, and silently treated aggression. Finally, there is a letter written to Gandhi about Tolstoy two months before his death, in which he mentioned his views on peace and faith and put forward love and non-resistance in Christianity, which he appreciated very much.
Although this work is less than 200 pages, it clearly shows the writer's real thoughts.
Tolstoy's reading experience 10 Tolstoy is a great Russian writer. His works such as War and Peace, Anna karenin and Resurrection not only show us a broad picture of modern Russian history, but also successfully shape the soul of the Russian nation. He created the richest and most spectacular figure gallery in Russian literature.
1827, Tolstoy was born in a manor in the south of Moscow, and his parents died young. Little Tolstoy was brought up by two aunts. Therefore, little Tolstoy had a happy childhood. In college, Tolstoy wrote the novel A Gentleman's Morning, which was about Tolstoy's personal experience. Tolstoy was lonely at that time and was laughed at and doubted by people. He thinks he is a complete failure.
185 1 year, Tolstoy came to the Caucasus and became an ordinary soldier. 1852, Tolstoy's talent produced the first fruits: Childhood, A Landlord's Morning, Attack and other works came out one after another. Tolstoy recalled his past life in his first work. He is recovering from his illness, and a long rest makes him feel lonely and miserable. 1853- 1855, famous works such as Youth, Caucasian Chronicle and My Youth came out one after another. During the period of 1873- 1877, Tolstoy completed two world-famous works, Anna, under the protection of love. Karenin na ","war and peace ".
1899, Tolstoy finished his work Resurrection, which best reflected his religious thoughts in his creative career. 19 10, Tolstoy died peacefully. Despite being blocked by the police, many Russian cities held a large number of touring performances, and people deeply mourned Tolstoy.
In Tolstoy's biography, we appreciate Tolstoy's spirit of fraternity. He emphasized "morality" and advocated "fraternity". He believes that as long as everyone improves morally and eliminates desires, the harmony of the whole society can naturally be realized. At that time, despite being the responder Liao Liao, he didn't give up and stuck to his beliefs all his life, which is exactly what Tolstoy made us admire and learn. Perhaps one day, his thought of equality and fraternity will become the same criterion of human life.
