"The Food of the World" is a collection of prose works by French writer Gide. After Gide traveled to North Africa and Italy, he used the wanderings along the way as clues and the virtual goddess as the object of conversation to describe exotic customs and express his feelings about life. The writing was poetic and picturesque in various forms, including traditional short poems, odes, melody, etc. In the book, Gide calls with passion to measure the earth with his feet and express his true feelings with words. He despised traditional morality and advocated freedom, especially his strong feelings about nature and life, and used this feeling as spiritual food.
Reader comments
The writing style of this book is poetic and picturesque, and the words are beautiful and intoxicating. The author expresses the pursuit of freedom and truth with a unique perspective and passionate emotions, which reminds me of Jack Kerouac's "On the Road". The book emphasizes measuring the earth with footsteps and feeling nature and life. This love of life and pursuit of reality are deeply inspiring. As the book says, "Drop it and go," this book will make you want to explore the world.
Go enjoy the joy to your heart's content, indulge in singing the verses of the gods, and lie in the boundless sea of desire. Come on, be happy, experience everything, enjoy everything, and live as wildly as you want. Anyway, it will pass away eventually. Go set foot on the towering snow-capped mountains, embrace the boundless sea, and drink from the spiritual springs in the mountains. Intoxicated by the sun of the boundless desert, sleeping in the dazzling oasis, the boundless world, there is no end in sight, how beautiful the death of life is, let's go, let's go, sleep forever, I would rather live a sad life than that kind of peace, except for the eternal sleep after death, I have nothing to teach me. If your soul still has desire, then burn it to your heart's content, take the trouble to drink the sweet wine, and kiss your lover's cheek while the red lips are strong.
Gide was like a spider spirit waving to me, saying: "Come on, be happy." His life was free and unrestrained, full of poetic disillusionment, so exciting and enviable. Of course, I'm already on the road, and it's no big deal to deviate from the track occasionally.
Classic is classic
I live in a wonderful waiting,
Waiting for any kind of collapse and destruction of the future [you taste it carefully]
