Rich Pain: Don Quixote and Hamlet Moving Eastward
by Qian Liqun
About This Novel
This book is one of Qian Liqun's masterpieces. In the author's own words, the task of this book is only to describe: to describe the story of two literary ghosts crossing the threshold of several centuries, from the West to the East; to describe how writers from Eastern and Western countries, out of a common concern for some major spiritual propositions of mankind (first of all, intellectuals), in accordance with the traditions of their own national culture, the requirements of their own times, and the characteristics of their personal spiritual temperament, while accepting the thoughts and artistic achievements of their predecessors, while enriching and developing the thinking of their predecessors, just like the passing of the baton of thought and art, jointly created two immortal typical stories of world literature. It is this creative process full of confusion, pain and vitality that connects several art masters and thinkers who lived in completely different time and space - from Shakespeare in England, Cervantes in Spain, Heine in Germany, Turgenev in Russia, to Lu Xun in China, as well as a large group of writers and intellectuals around them, thus reflecting a certain aspect of the spiritual development of mankind and the spiritual journey of the world's intellectuals from the 17th to the 20th century. The spiritual temperament of Chinese intellectuals in the 20th century and their inner spiritual connection with intellectuals around the world are also the focus of this book's investigation and description.
