About This Novel
"Farming Poem" describes the miserable conditions of the soldiers and the people during the great defeat of the French army in the spring of 1940, the tragedy that occurred to an aristocratic family during the French Revolution in 1789, and the feelings of a young American who participated in the Battle of Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. The closely intertwined themes of war and revolution make the novel rich in epic color. The novel is named after the ancient Roman poet Virgil's long poem "Farming Poem" because the protagonist of the novel never forgets his homeland, spring sowing, summer working, autumn harvesting and winter, no matter in the stormy waves of the Great Revolution or the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke in the north-south war. Tibetan farming also embodies the philosophy contained in Virgil's poems; things in the world are complex and ever-changing, and as long as the four seasons are constantly changing and orderly, people can only enjoy fun in pastoral farming and gain peace and comfort in nature.
