About This Novel

The movie of the same name ranked first in both the imdb top 250 and the douban movie top 250. This book is Stephen King's beloved masterpiece, collecting four of his novellas. As soon as its English version was released, it topped the New York Times bestseller list and sold 280,000 copies in the United States that year. The book has been translated into thirty-one languages, and three of the four novels have been adapted into blockbuster movies. The most talked about among them is "The Shawshank Redemption", which was nominated for seven Academy Awards and is hailed as one of the perfect films in the history of cinema. This novel demonstrates Stephen King's extraordinary skills beyond the thriller genre that he is good at. The other two novels in the book, "The Nazi Disciple" and "The Corpse" also won good reputations after being made into movies. Among them, "The Corpse" is also regarded as Stephen King's most autobiographical work.

From a literary and artistic perspective - this article is really good. It is very successful in characterization - I don't know if those who have watched the movie and praised it unanimously have gone back to read the book as a prototype, but I think that person's appearance will always remain in my mind, not only in my independent memory, but also in the shock it had to my soul.

fraud

Is there really a story from the movie Shawshank Redemption in this book? There are obviously only three stories. At least, can you please write clearly what is in it in the introduction? There is no such thing as deceiving people. The content is so short and the price is so expensive.

The electronic version on JD. Com is 18 yuan, and the paper version is 22 yuan. This QQ reading is a bit deceptive! Do I have to imitate that "Chinese Studies Master" on Douyin and pick up newspapers for a few days before I can afford this book?

It took him 19 years to finally escape from prison and gain freedom. At the same time, the film also exposed the dark corruption of American prisons at that time.

best friend

In the days when Andy first entered Shawshank Prison, other companions cried because they were not used to fear, but Andy looked calm and composed. When he was released every day, he walked silently by himself, looking like he was strolling in the park. Andy's uniqueness aroused the admiration of old prisoner Red, and they later became best friends.

In different stages of life, this anxiety about writing appears in different ways. "Rejection" is certainly one of them, but it is not serious. For a fourteen-year-old boy who enjoys writing, the nail hanging the rejected manuscript on the wall fell off because it could not bear the weight. At best, he would need to replace it with a longer one. Rejection notes such as "It's well written, but it's not suitable for us. You are very talented, please work harder!", Which greatly encouraged him and made him feel that there is endless hope and unlimited future.
