(france) Alphonse Daudet

168K01

"The Last Lesson" contains a large proportion of works with the theme of the Franco-Prussian War. Most of these works are included in "Monday Stories", which are widely circulated and popular. They have long become treasures in the world's short story library. Among them, the most representative "The Last Lesson" can be called a short story model that perfectly combines ideological and artistic qualities in the history of world literature. The work describes the last French class in a rural primary school in Alsace, which was ceded to Prussia after the Franco-Prussian War, where students bid farewell to the language of their motherland. Through the self-narration of a childish and ignorant primary school student, it vividly expresses the pain of the French people under foreign rule, their love for their motherland, and their firm will to strive for the liberation and reunification of the motherland. It embodies the lofty patriotism spirit of the French people. Although the subject matter of the work is small, it is carefully cut and the description is detailed and appropriate, and has a profoundly touching power.

In a busy life, pressure, fatigue, frustration, and confusion can easily make a young heart feel anxious and exhausted physically and mentally. The talented French writer Daudet faced such a dilemma. He chose to retreat from Paris, which many people yearned for, to his hometown of Provence to recuperate physically and mentally, wandering among the pine forests, meadows, seas, river valleys, hillsides and other natural scenery in southern France. With simple, direct, pure and delicate brushwork, he miraculously transformed the chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers, the rolling of clouds, the blowing of the wind, the shining of stars, the roar of sea waves, the melodious ringtones, and the smell of lavender into 24 heart-healing letters, bringing spiritual nourishment to countless readers, accompanying them out of the trough of life, and making the long nights no longer lonely. It is known as the "timeless pillow book". Open "The Mill Letters" to help you discover the beauty of daily life and gain spiritual freedom!
