The Amazing Molnar
General Fiction了不起的摩尔纳
(french) Alain Fournier
This book is one of the most popular novels in France, but it has never been mainstream in English literature: for nearly a hundred years, this strange, serious and tragic novel has been highly praised but has not had many readers. Henry Miller had great respect for the protagonist of the novel. F. Scott Fitzgerald also borrowed its title for The Great Gatsby (some critics believe that the narrator Nick Carraway and his lovesick friend in Gatsby were modeled on the main characters of The Promise). 2013 Is the 100th anniversary of The Promise. Although praised by many famous writers, the status of this book is in jeopardy. The plain words of the novel exude pathos and sadness, which makes many people fascinated; in the words of one critic, it is "like the mist on the wasteland."
