Aunt Bei (fu Lei Complete Works)

252K01

"Aunt Bei" is a novel written by French writer Balzac in his later years. The story takes place in Paris in 1838 and revolves around the fate of Baron Hulot de Hervé and his family. The Baron had served as a military auditor and director of munitions in the republican era. Now he was the head of one of the most important departments of the War Department, and was also a counselor of state. He was awarded the second class of the Legion of Honor. The novel describes how, driven by crazy passion that lost his reason and morality, he gradually ruined the reputation of his family and the honor of the army, embarked on the criminal path of speculation, fraud, and embezzled military funds, and finally lost his reputation. Hulot is a very symbolic character. His fall means the end of the glory of the old era and reflects the moral corruption of the entire upper class. The typical example of Aunt Bei belongs to Balzac's style and also shows the deepening of Balzac's creation. This is a "paranoid" character, and a complex full of contradictions: city and countryside, civilization and barbarism, rebellion and decadence, are cleverly intertwined, integrating rich life connotations and social consciousness.

Critics in the book "Old Man Goriot" call Goriot Goriot the modern King Lear. The character in Balzac's works is not just a character, but a typical example of the times. The factors of tragedy are not limited to personal temperament, but especially the promiscuous and corrupt social environment. The struggle of careerists seeking fame and fortune, intertwined with Goriot's desperate fatherly love, make the content of the novel more bizarre and touching. This book is a particularly serious and exciting one among Mr. Fu Lei's translations.

Because of his ridiculous ambition, he plummeted from the peak of prosperity and turned into a pauper who lost all his money. However, his "extremely honest" virtue and his efforts to atone for his sins gave his suffering a brilliance of martyrdom. The golden age was his unlucky beginning, and when the final victory came, his life also came to an end. In this way, Birotteau, who was not easily interested in readers, finally became one of the important characters that has been tested for a long time and has not become outdated on the stage of "Human Comedy". The work is not only a commercial novel with historical significance, but also a very interesting bourgeois genre painting.

A train was speeding towards five people tied to the tracks. Unless it could be stopped, those five people would die. At this time, you are standing on the overpass looking down, watching the tragedy that is about to happen. Standing next to you is a strange fat man. You can choose to push him off the bridge and he will fall on the rails. Although he will die, his fat body will block the moving train, thus saving the lives of those five people. So, will you choose to kill the fat man? This question may seem odd, but it's a classic variation of a philosophical puzzle known as the trolley problem. This puzzle has puzzled philosophers for half a century. Philosophers and sociologists have used this question to discuss ethical dilemmas such as abortion, war, and issues such as sacrificing the few for the sake of the many. Recently, it has further attracted the attention of neuroscientists, psychologists and other thinkers. By telling fascinating stories, this book tells readers why and how philosophers grappled with this philosophical puzzle, and the answer to this question will tell us a lot about right and wrong. The author discusses: Can the quantity of life or the quality of life be used as a criterion for measuring interests? Is it really the right answer for the minority to obey the majority? The author writes at the end of the book that he would not choose to push the fat man off the bridge, but he asks the reader "Would you kill the fat man?"

In 1919, Shakespeare and Company quietly opened on the Left Bank of Paris. Gradually, it became people's dream bookstore - a bookstore, a library, a publishing house; a bank, a post office, a cultural salon; a gathering place for literati, a center for British-French literary exchange, and a spiritual palace for the "lost generation". Sylvia's frank and funny writing slowly unfolds the bustling left bank scenery: the grand publication of Joyce's banned book "Ulysses"; the crazy performance of Ansel's "Ballet Mechanica"; Hemingway's heroic and heroic appearance in liberating Rue Dupuytran. Fitzgerald, who almost jumped downstairs after drinking, Gide, who played tricks on people with turtles... Guarding this castle made of books, Sylvia, a simple book lover, saw all kinds of writers, tasted the warmth and warmth of the world, and witnessed a literary legend connected with books.

Loving someone is meaningless to me, just like a person without taste buds becoming a food connoisseur, or a color blind person becoming a painter. I was born with a rare disease and live in a sterile, insulating glass house. Books, nurses, and mother are all I have. That day, I saw him, a boy with honey-colored skin and a dimple when he smiled. He was so free, just like the sunshine in Hawaii, which made me realize that the life I learned from books was all illusory. I have been dreaming of seeing the outside world all my life, and his appearance finally gave me the courage. It was an adventure and escape for love. Even if I had to pay the small price of death, I would understand what living is. Yes, only by trying my best to live once can I make this short life worthwhile.
