0 1 baron in the tree
Calvino
Douban score: 9.0(9 104 score)
What's it like to live in a tree all the time?
The protagonist of this book? Baron Cosimo has never been under a tree since he was twelve years old.
He woke up in the tree, eating and reading;
He experienced depression, disappointment and happiness in the tree;
He fell in love, waited and missed in the tree;
He spent his whole life in a tree.
After the death of Baron Cosimo, the epitaph reads: Live in a tree, love the earth and ascend to heaven.
He fought against the whole family, the whole town and the whole civilized way of life of mankind.
Everyone has ideas about how to spend this life, but when they grow up, they find that these ideas are difficult to implement. 99% people naturally gave up the original road, put on masks, integrated into society, became demographic figures, married and had children, and retired and died.
Forgot that life is infinite.
Calvino tells an extremely beautiful story in the world and a story about how to spend this life with a naive and dreamy style.
02 silent confession
Wu Qishi
Douban score: 8.2 (rated by 35,554 people)
For the rest of our lives,
Is to get rid of the expectations of others,
Find your true self.
This is the theme of the book Silent Confessions.
Seeing this sentence, my soul and the author had a wonderful * * * vibration.
Lydia was the apple of her parents' eye, but she died without warning.
In the eyes of her parents, she looks beautiful, studies well and has a good personality. Her parents firmly believe that Lydia will realize her dream that they can't.
Her father in China wants her to integrate into American classmates and fully integrate into American society, as he once longed for; My mother hopes that Lydia can continue her unfulfilled dream of being a scientist.
But no one asked Lydia what she wanted.
Lydia tried her best to protect her parents' dreams carefully and whitewash an unreal self.
Finally, this expectation and love is too heavy.
/kloc-Lydia, 0/6 years old, chose to throw herself into the lake.
Do you also deeply understand the unforgettable love and pain under the shackles of family ties?
How many people live the life arranged by their parents? In order not to appear abrupt, I tried my best to suppress myself and keep in line with the people around me, but gradually lost my passion, fun and self?
As parents, are they completely unaware of what their actions mean to their children?
Indulge in ignorant love and forget that sometimes it is not despair but hope that kills children.
03 Madame Bovary
Flaubert
Douban score: 8.4 (12,573 people rated)
Do people have the right to pursue their own happiness?
I'm sure you'll say? Yes
But what if this pursuit goes against other people's expectations?
Then many people will not pursue it, but choose to live in the expectation of others.
But Madame Bovary didn't.
Madame Bovary portrayed by Flaubert is a negative image in the history of world literature, vanity, depravity and ignorance. She is married, but she cheated twice and was in debt. Finally, because he was unable to repay his debts, he was disappointed with his lover and was forced to commit suicide by taking poison.
But I admire her and appreciate her lifestyle of pursuing love with all her enthusiasm.
In my opinion, Madame Bovary is not depraved, but has a sober and persistent affair. Because she firmly believes that she is pursuing perfect love. For this pursuit, she has no hesitation, and nothing can stop her.
She is her own god.
Although Madame Bovary paid a painful price for this and lost everything.
But I firmly believe that there is still a small piece in her heart that no one can get their hands on.
This clip is called faith in love.
Homer's epic? Odyssey
Homer
Douban score: 8.8 (rated by 2,784 people)
There is a kind of book in this world. Although it is very famous, I want to stay away from it as soon as I see its name.
Homer epic? Odyssey falls into this category.
It was many years before I picked up this book and found its greatness.
This book tells the story of Odysseus, the surviving Greek hero, who came home after the Trojan War.
This is such a simple story that I feel a sigh when I read it.
Going home is a common occurrence for anyone, but it took the hero ten years.
Along the way, the gods calculated him, obstructed him, tried to confuse his eyes with strength, and tried to subdue him with violence. He is far away from the temptation of female identity, comfort and even immortality.
For a belief? Go home.
After ten years of wandering, I returned to my hometown after hardships.
Originally a baby's son, he is already a young man;
It turns out that the beautiful young wife has also become the old Xu Niang.
Husband and wife looked at each other, but they couldn't recognize each other.
Is it meaningful for Odysseus to return from wandering?
I think, each of us is Odysseus, wandering in the journey of life, facing temptation and danger, and striving for the final result.
At the same time, I found my identity and the meaning of life, that is, the meaning of Odysseus' roaming? Roaming is life itself.
A man named Ovi decided to die.
Frederick? Buckman
Douban score: 9. 1 (376 1 score)
The title of this book sums up its story well. It tells the story of a man named Ovi who decided to die.
I was attracted by the title, which revealed the hero's extraordinary courage and strong self-awareness.
This is an emotional story with a beginning and an end, with two main lines.
A main line tells the story of a 59-year-old paranoid old man who bought ropes and nails and tried to hang himself at home, but was interrupted by his new neighbor.
Another main line recalls Ovi's life. What did he experience that led him to commit suicide?
Ou Wei lost his mother when he was a child and his father when he was a teenager. After marriage, his wife was paralyzed by abortion in a car accident and was hit by his wife's death in her later years.
Facing the blow, he was very calm, just like facing death, he chose to commit suicide. He simply thought that there was nothing in the world worthy of his nostalgia.
After reading this book, this man named Ovi is in my heart? Live broadcast? Yes
I see a choice in a rapidly developing society.
When dealing with his work, he was silent and spent his life in the same factory.
He is very loyal to his marriage and extremely kind to his wife. The reason why he committed suicide was that he hoped to see his wife as soon as possible and continue to take care of her in heaven.
Even when dealing with cars, he has a kind of paranoia. He only drives Saab, but he broke up with his old friend because he stopped driving Saab and bought a BMW.
His persistence is actually the embodiment of his strong self-awareness.
Because he has a strong sense of self about life, he remains calm despite numerous blows.
Yes, he exudes a calm power.
