Leave the World to Darkness and Me: Ding Fan's Book Reviews
by Ding Fan
About This Novel
"Leave the World to Darkness and Me" is divided into four volumes: "Rereading Classics", "How We Read Today", "Ghosts of Intellectuals", and "Literature and Revolution". In the book, Mr. Ding Fan selects classics of world literature, discusses the concepts, opinions and life experiences of intellectuals, and examines their cultural practices and interactions with society. His reading process of "Gadfly", "How Steel Was Tempered" and "Walden Pond" is not only a personal growth history, but also a generation of intellectuals' profound reflections on the times and culture; through interpretations of Belinsky, Herzen, Gorky, and Berlin, he also showed their spiritual trajectories in search and perseverance, frustration and struggle, loss and reflection, and pursued historical causes and realistic influences. Those who are ambitious will establish their own spiritual coordinates in the intertwining of dark night and light: insisting on independence, fulfilling the responsibility of cultural criticism, and speaking out for the weak. This is the conscience and conscience of intellectuals.
