Cliff
General Fiction悬崖
(russia) Goncharov
"The Cliff" is one of the three famous works by the famous Russian writer Goncharov. It took the author 20 years from conception to completion. By describing the love and spiritual pursuits of Russian aristocratic young men and women, the novel reflects the social life and social changes in Russia from the 1840s to the 1960s. In the story, the aristocratic young man Reisky is smart, studious, and loves art, but he has no will to persevere. From Petersburg he came to Malinovka, a manor on the edge of a cliff, where his two beautiful cousins lived. Raisky first fell in love with the simple and lively Malfinka, but Malfinka fell in love with the young Vikendiyev. So he fell in love with his eldest cousin Vera. Vera was cold, charming, and pursuing freedom, but she only regarded him as her brother and best friend. She fell in love with Mark, an exiled prisoner who was full of new ideas and unruly. But later I discovered that I and Mark QC had different views on love and thoughts, and all Mark's thoughts were fantasy. With the help of her grandmother and Laisky, she stepped back from the brink and chose Tushen, the forest farm owner. Laisky went abroad to study sculpture, wandered in art palaces, and was sublimated physically and mentally. However, he always felt the call of his relatives in his hometown and was determined to return home.

"Oblomov" is Goncharov's masterpiece. The novel creates a typical "Oblomov character" and reveals the profound social and life roots of Oblomov's self-destructive tragedy. He is a product of the collapse of serfdom. His image marks the limit of the degeneration of "superfluous people" in Russia in the 19th century. He is a typical example of a declining landlord. This is also the success of the novel. This image marked the end of the image of the "superfluous man" in Russian literature in the 19th century. "Love in Petersburg" (originally called "An Ordinary Story") is Goncharov's first novel. The novel describes a young Alexander who, after 20 years of living comfortably in the countryside, became dissatisfied. He yearned crazily for city life and got along with the emerging bourgeois industrialist Uncle Peter. The emerging bourgeois culture of Petersburg was incompatible with the traditional aristocratic manor culture and patriarchal lifestyle, and the two worldviews collided fiercely. He finally agreed with his uncle's philosophy of life and attitude towards life, achieved success through a tortuous road, and became a wealthy man. "The Cliff (Up and Down)" is one of the three famous works by the famous Russian writer Goncharov. It took the author 20 years from conception to completion. By describing the love and spiritual pursuits of Russian aristocratic young men and women, the novel reflects the social life and social changes in Russia from the 1840s to the 1960s.
