A Man with Great Fortune (arthur Miller Series)

H

71K0

"Everything I touch turns to gold. Everything." Auspicious stars are shining. Is this a blessing or a curse? Why do young winners in life choose to commit suicide? From the "American Dream" to the "American Nightmare." Arthur Miller is one of the greatest contemporary playwrights and is known as "the conscience of American drama." This play is Arthur Miller's first play on Broadway. It explores the loss of order and moral collapse during the Great Depression, and asks a question that seems to have no answer - "Is fate fair?" In the eyes of people around him, David Beavers is an out-and-out "winner in life" - he is young, has a happy family, a successful career, and a lot of good luck. All obstacles can disappear in front of him, as if some god has given him the ability to turn stone into gold. However, his auspicious stars constantly reveal the tragedy of those around him, and before he knows it, his path to success turns into a nightmare of doubt. He is struggling to find some clear operating rules in a seemingly irrational universe, and his despair brings him to the edge of madness... The play is permeated by the fear of failure and the guilt of success, which runs through almost all of Arthur Miller's subsequent works. It was through this play that Miller "began to get a taste of what it was like to be a playwright, and maybe even a human being."

In 1937, Camus first encountered the absurd in his first work, "The Right and the Back". In his twenties, his thinking has touched the boundaries of existence. The following year, he introduced his body to writing, turned to the sun, rocks, wind and salt on the Mediterranean coast of Algeria, and indulged in the perception of the land and body. "Wedding Collection" thus becomes one of the brightest chapters in his works. In 1954, Camus compiled the essays he had written about the Mediterranean since 1936 and published "Summer Collection". In an era of absurdity and chaos, he used calm and restrained language to think about how people should live upright and honestly, and how to nurture an "invincible summer" in the middle of winter. "There is an Invincible Summer in Me" contains three collections of essays: "The Back and the Right", "The Wedding Collection" and "The Summer Collection", which span seventeen years of writing and together constitute Camus's spiritual journey from perceptual experience to rational speculation, and from night to light.

André Mauroa once said: "Proust's simple, individual and regional narratives arouse enthusiasm all over the world, which is both the most beautiful thing and the fairest phenomenon in the world. Just like a great philosopher summarizes all thoughts with one thought, a great novelist uses one person's life and some of the most ordinary things to make everyone's life emerge in his writing."

Proust is one of the greatest literary masters of the twentieth century. "In Search of Lost Time" is a voluminous volume and is one of the most famous and difficult works in the entire history of literature. The whole book takes the narrator "I" as the main body and integrates what he sees, hears, thinks and feels. It is not only a true description of social life and human relations, but also a record of the author's inner experience of self-pursuit and self-understanding. It can be said to be a novel tree with many branches derived from the trunk of a novel, or it can be said to be a giant symphony intertwined with several themes. This book basically retains the essence of the seven-volume book. The selected chapters or paragraphs are all complete without any deletions. You can appreciate the elegance of this masterpiece in one volume. It can be called a true "essence".
