"Ninety-Three Years" (1874) is Hugo's last novel. The novel creates three central characters: the Marquis de Lanternac, the leader of the Vendée rebels, his grandnephew, Guo Wen, the commander of the Republican Army who suppressed the rebellion, and Simourden, Guo Wen's tutor and commissioner of the Public Security Commission. An intricate plot unfolded around them, vividly describing the historical scene of the life-and-death struggle between the bourgeoisie and feudal forces in 1793. At the end of the novel: Lanternac, who had narrowly escaped death, returned to the burning castle to rescue three children because of his conscience; Guo Wen was moved by his uncle's humanitarian spirit and was willing to trade his head for Landenac's life; Simulden shot himself while Guo Wen's head fell to the ground. "1993" Can be said to be the most perfect expression of Hugo's writing art and humanitarian spirit.
Reader comments
The characters in this book are so fleshed out! I particularly disliked the Marquis de Lanternac, he was a cruel rebel leader, but his behavior in saving the child in the end made me very conflicted. Guo Wen and Simulden are also admirable, their spirit is so great. But I still like Guo Wen the most. His choice made me see the glory of humanitarianism. This book is really worth reading!
"Beyond the absolutely correct revolution, there is also an absolutely correct humanism"
In 1993, we do not deny the existence of people like Emmanuel, and we are not qualified to forgive him for the revolution that killed his children and brothers. However, in 1993, we also needed the existence of people like Guo Wen, who chose humanitarianism between the country and humanity.
There shouldn't be so few comments
Although I don't understand it, I still give you a thumbs up
