Fake Documents

Literature

(mexico) Valeria Luiselli

43K0

"False Documents" contains ten essays written by Luiselli when she debuted: some passages record her thoughts about self and space while roaming (or riding) between cities and countries; some passages explore the boundaries of reading and writing. The word "fake document" is taken from her experience of getting a permanent residence card in Venice during her trip to Venice and visiting Brodsky's grave in the beginning and end. It also metaphors the complexity and change of the flow of the author's own experience. The detached perspective and graceful writing style of essay writing reflect Luiselli's ambition and honesty as a writer, and it also provides readers with a new way of seeing the world around them.

"Pillow" was written around 1001 and was the first of Japanese essay literature. The book has a total of 305 paragraphs, divided into three major contents: clustering, diary and random thoughts. The clustering is influenced by Li Yishan's "Za Tu" of the Tang Dynasty, which lists things of different natures and categories in life, such as "mountains", "sea", "disappointing things", "elegant things", involving geographical features, vegetation, flowers and birds, inner emotions, life interests, etc., Which very richly reflects the author's delicate observation and aesthetic taste of Qing Shao Nayan. The diary records the author's life in the palace, which reflects her deep relationship with Empress Fujiwara Teiko, as well as fragments of her life in the palace. This part of the content reflects the classical style, and allows us to understand the living conditions and tastes of the royal family and nobles in Japan's Heian period. Random thoughts are random thoughts about nature and life, especially the author's bright and free attitude towards life.

Collection of Yang Zhouhan's Works: Metamorphosis·poetry

(ancient Rome) Ovid Horace

282K0

The structure of the entire poem "Metamorphoses" can be broken down into the following paragraphs: prologue, introduction (the creation of heaven and earth, the four major eras, the legend of the flood), the story of God (Volume 1 to Volume 6), the story of heroes and heroines (Volume 6 to Volume 11), the deeds of "historical" figures (Volume 11 to Volume 15), and the epilogue. Such an arrangement is more or less made in chronological order, but the time of occurrence of many stories is difficult to determine, so the author arranges them according to the nature of the story. For example, the stories in volumes 1 and 2 mainly center on the love of gods, volumes 3 and 4 center on Bacchus and the city of Thebes, volumes 5 and 6 center on the revenge of gods, volumes 6 to 9 center on Athenian heroes, and volumes 9 to 11 center on the love of male and female heroes, etc. "Ars Poetica" was originally an untitled letter in verse. Less than a hundred years after its publication, it was called "Ars Poetica" by the Roman rhetorician and orator Quintillianus (approximately 35-95 AD), and it later became famous by this name. The trustees are Piso, his father and his son. There were many Pisots at that time, and I don't know who it was. According to the content of this letter, one-third talked about drama. One of the three people may have wanted to write a script and asked Horace for advice. Horace wrote this reply and talked about his writing experience.

All Paris Belongs to Me

From the age of 21 to 27, in the golden age of his life, Hemingway lived in Paris and spent a difficult and crazy time. He believes in literature and is arrogant, but he can only make a living as a reporter. His wife Hadley's fund is the main source of income. When he was at his most impoverished, he even went to the Luxembourg Gardens to attack pigeons, and when he caught them, he went home and stewed them. He was a social darling and loved boxing and bullfighting. Boxing was his habit of making friends, and his passion for bullfighting brought him his first important work, "The Sun Also Rises." The ambiguity with Mrs. Duff and the Pfeiffer sisters caused Hemingway to be "punched" by Hadley - and the nurturing marriage came to an end. His parodic works mocked his mentor, and wrote the unspeakable emotional entanglements of some elite friends in Paris, London, and New York into novels... Hemingway went from an unnoticed bystander to the center of attention. ----------Some people say that Hemingway is a "bad boy" who combines the hustle and bustle of Paris, the roughness of the Alps, the brutality of the boxing ring, and a different kind of talent. From beginning to end, Hemingway knew best what kind of person he wanted to be and what kind of achievements he wanted to achieve. No one or anything could stop him.

In Deep Pond Hospital, the only remaining almshouse in the United States, Dr. Sweet witnessed all kinds of human suffering and held life conversations with 1,686 patients. Combining many years of medical experience and fluent writing, he revealed all aspects of elderly care in American society and the improper treatment of patients, and put forward the argument that only exercise, healthy diet and a happy mentality can ensure people's health. In Sweet's writing, Shenchi Hospital is like a theater of life with mixed joys and sorrows: it is not only a hospital, but also a shelter, a shelter for the unemployed, a halfway house, and a rehabilitation center. People who need long-term medical care, including ballet dancers, rock musicians, professors, and thieves, have come here. Hens have been raised in the AIDS room. Some people dump their boyfriends here, some find their other half here, some leave with the expectation of a new life, but soon bid farewell to their lives on the streets. In these stories, we see the emotional changes of patients and doctors when facing illness or life and death, as well as true portrayals of the nature, cost and value of physical, mental and spiritual care. This is a new discussion on life, aging, illness and death, and it is a subversive description of the true meaning of medicine. Therefore, Oliver Sachs, the author of "Mistaking My Wife for a Hat," once said that "Heavenly Stop" is worth reading by everyone, especially those who are eager to understand the human nature of medicine. Heaven is very close, but the world is very warm.

In the first half of the 1920s, Hemingway lived in Paris as a correspondent in Europe. "Paris Never Ends" records the author's life at that time. However, Hemingway only wrote about this period of time nearly forty years later. In other words, both the author and the readers are only tracing those past years in their memories, and for both the author and the readers, these memories have been out of focus and distorted through the lens of time. All memories about Paris blend into a common historical memory of Paris. In this semi-documentary and semi-fictional work, the customs of the Paris literary circle in the 1920s slowly unfolded. The figures who dominated the world's literary and artistic circles at that time were vividly sketched with a few strokes, and they were forever integrated with the city.

Do You Want to Burn Sade?

(france) Simone De Beauvoir

87K0

When "Should Sade Be Burned" was first published in France, it was titled "On Privilege", which included "Should Sade Be Burned" and "Merleau-Ponty and the Pseudo-Sartre Doctrine". It was later republished under the title "Should Sade Be Burned". Sade was an 18th-century French erotica writer, and the term Sadism comes from his name. Some people believe that he is a sexual evil, advocating the indulgence of instinct, and is unforgivable. Others see him as a warrior who encourages people to achieve complete liberation through the gratification of various forms of desire. His works were banned in France, and he was not rehabilitated until the beginning of the 20th century. He was a pioneer of "cursed writers". Beauvoir's angle is very special. Her book is called "Theory of Privilege". It starts from the privileged class's understanding of their situation, taking the old aristocracy as an example: the aristocrats defended their rights without considering the rationality of these rights. Sade was born into a noble family, but he had the courage to take on his own uniqueness and violate the moral standards followed by the nobles. In the most straightforward way, he demanded that his own pleasure be the law. Although he failed in the end, his flamboyant behavior revealed that the egoism of the privileged class could only be wishful thinking and could not give itself legitimacy in the eyes of everyone. The second article "Merleau-Ponty and the Pseudo-Sartre Doctrine" is also written from the perspective of the privileged class. In the French environment of the 1950s and 1960s, some intellectuals stood on the side of interests, tried to confuse the general interests with the interests of the bourgeoisie, and had a debate with Sartre. Beauvoir defended Sartre and wrote this article.

Christian Culture and Western Literary Tradition

Liu Jianjun

273K01

"Christian Culture and Western Literary Tradition" mainly discusses the influence of Christian culture on the way of thinking of Western writers and the inseparable connection between Western literature and Christian culture. It involves the characteristics of Christian culture itself, the evolution process of Christian culture, and the thinking model of Christian culture. It is on this basis that this book analyzes the process and basic characteristics of the ancient and modern evolution of Western literary spirit. The basic point of the book is that human society has gone through four stages of cultural development: sustenance by blood, sustenance by faith, sustenance by rationality and sustenance by human rights. The emergence of Christian culture is the replacement of blood ties with the way of belief, and the faith way of Christian culture, under the influence of society and culture itself, has developed the modern rational way of maintaining it and the way of maintaining human rights that has just begun to emerge today. Western literature is constrained by this, and in the cultural spirit reflects the transformation of human beings from natural people to social people and even to people in today's cultural sense, thus making Western literature a unique spiritual and cultural phenomenon.

The prose in the book spans nearly twenty years, covering almost his entire writing career, showing a flawless style. In the early days of his writing career, his style tended to be descriptive and narrative, which were based on the war and poverty he experienced, such as "Hanging" and "Elephant Hunting". Later, his articles tended to be more argumentative, such as "Poetry and Microphone", as well as comments on writers and works. In these articles, which are difficult for many writers to achieve, we can see the author's attack on totalitarian politics and his sympathy for the people at the bottom. We can also feel his sharp writing, fiery thoughts, and vivid language.

South Korea's ace variety show producer Na Young-seok gave a half-time confession of his life, reviewing the ups and downs of his growth in front of and behind the scenes of the national variety show "Two Days and One Night". At the peak of his career, Luo Yingshi sent himself to the farthest place, Iceland, to embark on an unplanned aurora exploration trip. "Two Days and One Night" produced by him opened a new era of reality variety shows in South Korea, repeatedly achieving ratings miracles and becoming a well-known variety show in South Korea. In the book, he recalled how such a national variety show was born out of desperation and against the backdrop of rock bottom ratings; he also recalled his journey into the TV station, from college to the workplace, and the process of changing his identity and role. In addition, this is also a travel guide to Iceland's polar scenery. The so-called meaning of travel may be to leave the place where you are; but through the switching of vision during travel, you may be able to re-see your original intention that has been dusted for a long time, and regain the passion for life and the energy for work. PD Luo said: If you want to make a decision, it's not too late to make it after the trip. The competition is still long anyway!

A black novel written in "code", the nightmare and memory of an era. Norman Manea's most important literary work. Norman Manea, a Romanian Jewish writer, a Nazi concentration camp survivor and exile, lives in the English-speaking world but insists on writing in his native language. His works are widely praised for their extremely deep compassion and "passionate and exciting sense of literary justice". His writing makes us realize that language gives people dignity and makes history possible; language gives people a place of belonging and gives exiles a foundation. In the novel "The Black Envelope", which was born after many difficulties, Manea started from his personal experience and narrated various stories in another wall in the post-Auschwitz era. This may be his best work.

There is Always a Thought That Pushes Us Forward (poetry and Distance Series)

Life requires exploration and some persistence. It is a thought, but also a persistence, a kind of inner exploration and stubborn spiritual existence. This thought that makes you restrained, self-disciplined, and diligent, this kind of thing that attracts people, can even change our lives in the end. People are alive to find and stick to what they like to do. At least we will not be defeated by mediocrity, and we still have the power in our bodies to remind us to move towards the light. There must always be a beautiful thought in our life, so we can be willing to follow our inner arrangements. Focus on making something, at least, worthy of the time. Let's leave time to tell the rest.
