The author of "Civilization" is the novelist Duhaman. He knows that reality is never simple. Not only is there greatness in sinking, but there is also comedy in tragedy. People's stupidity, eccentricity, vanity, and accidental jokes, through his sharp and bitter satire, are comical and dramatic in the midst of those bleak years and tragic scenery, just like the dance of ghosts. The death described in "Civilization", even the ugliest scenes, has a holy fragrance. But this virtue is not of death, but of dying humanity. It is this holy fragrance that particularly inspires the meaning of life. "Civilization" describes death in order to refute death and deny death.
