Long Farewell

"To say goodbye is to die a little bit." After reading this novel, I felt as if I had just experienced a warm redemption and a long farewell... This is a detective novel, but it is written very artistically. There are many metaphors in the middle, and there are also many seemingly boring conversations. The meaning may not be clear when you first read it, but the more you read, the more attracted you will be to it. In addition, there is a detective decryption element, so you will not feel bored during the reading process. The story is very simple. Private detective Marlowe helped "gentleman drunkard" Terry on the street, and the two became friends. Terry claims to have killed his wealthy wife. He asks Marlowe to help him escape, and Marlowe becomes embroiled in the lawsuit. During this period, Marlowe had countless opportunities to get out of this trouble, but he persisted in friendship and searched for the truth along the way, and finally found the real murderer. "The Long Goodbye" is a story of a true exchange of souls, a story of spontaneous mutual understanding between people, a story of the beautiful illusions held by human beings and the deep disillusionment they inevitably cause.

A very classic mystery and suspense novel. To be honest, I have read this book more than once. You may be wondering why a suspense novel can be read so many times. Yes, the reversal in this book is so precise that I would still be surprised and shocked even after reading it a few times. The author's solid foreshadowing and sudden reversal, coupled with the solid reasoning process, make people very satisfied and have a feeling that they will never tire of. I highly recommend it to everyone to read.

It's good to read. At first, my little brain, which has been corroded by romance novels every day, was very confused [face covering]. Besides, I'm too lazy to read and listen to books, and I was confused by him and her. But later on, it was quite interesting. The story started with the encounter between the protagonist and an alcoholic, and they became friends who were not friends, and started a long farewell. At the beginning, I always thought that the protagonist was a half-hearted detective, but after reading it, I realized that I was the half-hearted reader.

The ending of the long farewell is a bit unexpected. Maybe our life should be like this. People around us will eventually leave one day, so we should take it lightly. Even in the end, a person is lonely and free.

This book is always full of a touch of sadness and parting. Just like Knox, the protagonist in the movie, he is born with a gloomy and noble temperament, giving people an indelible pain, and there are fiery emotions hidden in his pale and broken face. In his wandering life, the happiness and pain he endured were like a road between light and darkness. Some people say that the author is embedded in it. Many of the words in the book seem to be what the author said to the world. For example, "I looked through his book and I thought it was rubbish."

It is a classic and fascinating. The plot twist in the later stage is very surprising. Although it has been spoiled a little, I was still shocked.

To be honest, the first part of this book is a bit boring, and you wouldn't know it if you didn't say it was a detective novel, but the second part is interesting, and it can be said to be interesting enough for you to read it in one sitting (which is quite long). If you like fast-paced plots, then I really don't recommend you to read it, it will be very torturous. In addition, the translation of this book is average, but it is still readable. If you are very particular about translation, you should read another hardcover bound volume, which is available on Tomato. And then it was gone, happy reading.

The long goodbye At first I thought it was a memoir, with a hint of sadness; but as soon as we opened it, what Raymond told us was a crime story; it was also the beginning of a detective being wrongfully imprisoned, and the unexpected reversal afterwards; the plot will not be spoiled here; but after reading the article, the sentence "Farewell is death" is irrelevant Whether it was me who had been wronged, or Terry; we were all rebels in that era, whether we were cynical or lonely. What this book conveys is not so much an admirable reasoning process, but rather heroism like Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea".

When you think of famous detectives in literary novels, you will definitely blurt out, Charlotte Holmes? Yes, he is famous and everyone knows about him. Or maybe the great detective Poirot, the protagonist of "Murder on the Orient Express", is also very popular. You might even say that a Japanese Detective Conan will die one day. Today I'd like to introduce you to Marlowe. He is a character written by American writer Raymond Chandler. He has appeared in seven of Chandler's novels and many short stories. He is a private detective living in Los Angeles. A unique tough guy detective. In "The Long Goodbye", he is an ordinary detective who relies on his legs to solve crimes. He drinks small drinks all day long and is a bit verbose. He was not very handsome either. He often said that to say goodbye is to die a little. Maybe this is another meaning of the long farewell.

This is a suspense mystery novel with a complex plot and twists and turns. It can no longer keep up with the rhythm in the end, and it is enough to test memory and analysis. However, through this book, I have verified that I have become interested in suspense reasoning recently and have gained a little experience after reading it. In this book, I guessed the result many times based on the direction of the story and the plot reversal. Maybe this is the fun of reading.

We become friends inexplicably, we trust our friends inexplicably, we run and grieve for our friends, we say goodbye to our friends for a long time, and after we say goodbye, we are no longer friends.

What an interesting book, one that is disguised as a suspenseful detective, but is actually a thought-provoking literary work. The character setting, historical background, realistic metaphors and explicit instructions are all impressive. The sometimes beautiful and sometimes real writing style really makes this novel full of charm. The reversal of the ending and the powerful farewell make the readers suddenly realize that this farewell may be longer than imagined...

This book reminded me of a distant relative who also experienced a low point in his life. Marlowe's help and understanding of Terry made me feel the warmth and kindness between people. Even in difficult times, we should, like Marlowe, not give up trust and care for others easily. This book is not only a story, but also a reflection on human nature. It made me understand that every encounter is a long farewell, and we should cherish everyone around us.

The character development of the protagonist is so good that it is understandable that the two original confessions given to newspapers would offend Porter and other people from all walks of life.

"The Long Goodbye", 1953. A representative work of the tough guy genre, this novel is full of romanticism. It seems to have a complicated plot, but the protagonist's persistence in practicing justice runs through the entire novel. The Long Goodbye, this name appeals to people who yearn for romanticism.

Brain-burning, Chandler's mystery novels are indeed classics, and he is worthy of being the greatest modern mystery novel writer.

This novel was recommended many times, but because the translated version was a bit lagging behind the first half, I gave it up two or three times. But I finished reading it in one go this time. The procrastination in the beginning paved the way for the rest, which becomes more and more exciting. You can watch it again and again (the translation of this version is not very good)

I read a little bit of it in the Hainan Library, and I came here specifically to look for it. It was very exciting!

A very nice book

Good, good, good, good

Inexplicably collapsed, inexplicably moved

I don't understand it a bit but it's pretty good

The plot of the story is good, link by link. There are just too many names and I can't remember them. Haha, I don't understand the Chinese way of thinking and some of their expressions.

I read it in one go. The seriousness of the truth and the friendship of friends are worth paying all the price for it. The final ending has a beginning and an end. It is a very good novel.

I feel like Terry can just die in Mexico and there is no need to be resurrected...
