Suskind's only non-fiction work directly confronts two major propositions in life that need to be pondered urgently;
Overlooking the complex and subtle abyss of human nature, you can gain insight into the secret love that transcends the world.
In this short work, Suskind explores the relationship between love and its eternal rival, death. Citing three examples from philosophy, literature, religious stories and myths and legends, as well as modern life, Suskind presents to us the relationship between the two that are both complementary and contradictory, prompting readers to think about how the world views love and death, and how they appear in literary and philosophical works. Love can make people feel happy, but it can also bring endless pain. Love is not just a molecule, it can change our body and brain, and turn us into another person completely. The author then compares the fate of Jesus and Orpheus in ancient Greek mythology, and tells how they tried to defeat death with love.
Reader comments
It is similar to an essay. It contains some of the author's thoughts and insights on love and death. Love is crazy, and death (suicide) is also crazy as a comparison of love. It also tells the story of Orpheus, which is interesting and inspiring.
The first half was pretty good, but I couldn't understand the rest because I didn't know much about Greek mythology.
This book is very interesting! Suskind explores the relationship between love and death, which made me think more deeply about these two eternal topics. I particularly like what he quoted from St. Augustine's discussion of time, which, like love, makes people fall into chaos and fascination. This reminds me of "Love in the Time of Cholera", in which the protagonists pursue love in the long river of life and experience the test of death. Books like this always make me feel the complexity of human nature and the power of love. Have you ever read a similar book?
To be honest, Qiu Qiu didn't understand it, but it didn't stop Qiu Qiu from taking a look. [Stare]
