The Naive Man (complete Works of Fu Lei)

Voltaire

"The Innocent" was written in 1767. It is a philosophical novel with the purpose of criticizing the darkness and decadence of the French aristocratic upper class society. It is also a shot of Voltaire's cynical arrow towards the feudal autocracy. "The Innocent" is not like "Zadig", which is based on ancient exotic countries and full of magical and mysterious colors, nor is it like "Candide", which travels all over Europe and is full of adventure legend style. Here, the author adopts a relatively objective realistic approach and bluntly challenges the reality of France during the reign of Louis XIV.

With nearly 265,000 words (in English), "Ulysses" records the experiences of advertising promoter Leopold Bloom in Dublin one day and night on June 16, 1904, and reproduces this Hungarian-Jewish story in a detailed and delicate way. The living conditions and lonely and hesitant consciousness activities of Tai people, as well as the plots of his wife Molly and the young student Stephen Dedalus looking for their spiritual father, truly and vividly depict a realistic picture of the depression and despair of young people at the turn of the century. The layout of the novel intentionally corresponds to the volumes of Homer's epic "The Odyssey", which not only achieves an unprecedentedly perfect structure of the whole book, but also clearly highlights the destiny that aims to reflect human suffering: the protagonist Bloom's one-day wandering in Dublin contrasts with Ulysses (the Latin name of Odysseus) who wandered at sea for ten years, profoundly revealing the decay of modern society and the insignificance and sorrow of individuals.

This great work, which took 10 years to conceive and 8 years to write, was repeatedly banned in Britain and the United States due to the controversy over whether it was an obscene book, and it went to court twice. The first version of "Ulysses" was published in Paris in 1922. After the efforts of a group of famous writers, the book was finally published in Britain and the United States in 1933. Since then, it has attracted widespread attention from readers around the world and remains a best-seller to this day. The author Joyce used an extremely grotesque writing method to unconventional writing methods to show the various experiences of the protagonist, the depressed and wandering Dublin citizen, advertising salesman Bloom, in Dublin during one day and night on June 16, 1904; at the same time, he also portrayed the psychology of his unfaithful wife, Mrs. Marion, and Stephen's search for his spiritual father. One chapter is written every hour, and the last chapter describes the sexual psychology of the heroine. The whole chapter has only two punctuation marks before and after, which is a masterpiece in literature.
