"Yin Ge" still has the characteristics of19th century Russian novels, with strong thoughts, gloomy tone and ultimate thinking. However, the constitution of the novel is not heavy. The length is only 280,000 words. The hero of the novel is a Russian intellectual who constantly explores his own destiny, which is actually the modern destiny of Russia. The intellectual's name is Dayal. Influenced by the movement of "going among the people" initiated by some Russian intellectuals at that time, he was ready to go deep into life. Go deep into the bottom of society, experience and discover the social essence of Russia and observe the real life of the Russian people. However, when he really entered riff-raff, what stood in front of him was the division of Russian cities and villages, the division of religious and scientific knowledge, and the division of the aristocratic class and the poor. At the same time, the temptation of rural women and the attraction of aristocratic women made Dayal feel difficult to choose.
The novel "Petersburg" is one of the most famous symbolic novels of Mr. Belle, and is usually regarded as his masterpiece. The book is divided into eight chapters, with a brief "preface" and a "conclusion", which mainly describes the actions, conversations, dreams and some large and small psychological and philosophical activities of the characters in the novel before and after the 1905 revolution 10. In Petersburg at the end of September and the beginning of October, the family of Apollo Apollonovich, a cold and influential aristocratic politician, had split. Politicians who have risen to high positions by loyalty and firmness are still "heads of important institutions" over the age of 60, and never forget to suppress all heresies with ready-made orders; His wife Anna Petrovna was dissatisfied with her husband's indifference and left Spain with an Italian actor two and a half years ago. Nicholas, the son who is studying in college, seems to be in harmony with his father, but his heart is full of disgust. He is keen on neo-Kantian and dissatisfied with reality. He promised to help a "reckless political party". At that time, Russia was at war with Japan, which made the situation in Petersburg and even the whole country in a crisis situation. Dudkin, a phobia party active among workers and slums, secretly took a canned sardine with a time bomb to Nicholas's house. Nikolai was laughed at by Sophia, the young hostess of the salon, because of her recent love entanglement, and decided to take revenge. So she wore a black mask and a red domino cloak worn by the clown in the farce, and went to various occasions, and also attended a dance where her father and Sophia were present, which caused a lot of discussion. At the dance, Nicholas received a letter asking him to keep his promise and kill his father with a time bomb in sardines. He was in great pain because he wanted to kill his father. Meanwhile, Apollo was told that someone was going to hurt him recently. The murderer was the same person who wore the clown cloak at the dance, that is, his son, which made him fidgety and made him lose the possibility of being promoted to minister recently. In fact, this letter was written by Lee Panchenko, who joined the "reckless party" under the guise of the party, with the aim of sabotaging the revolution. Sophia's husband, Captain Lihujin, learned the contents of this letter from his wife and took the opportunity to "blackmail" Nicholas. Dudkin later realized the true face of Leigh Panchenko and was so angry that he sneaked into Leigh Panchenko's villa at night and killed it with scissors. Helpless and painful, Nikolai hurried home after quarreling with Li Hujinda, so as to find out the canned sardines at once and throw them into the Neva River. The social situation is developing rapidly, and mass rallies and demonstrations continue. Apollo Norwich and his son went home with different fears. He found a canned sardine in his son's room and somehow took it to his room. Nicholas arrived later and found that the canned sardines were gone, but he didn't know that his father had taken them before him, so he looked everywhere, which was crazy. On the same day, Anna, who was abandoned by her lover, came back, only to be received with dignity by her husband. The family got back together at a peaceful dinner and tasted the long-lost warmth. Just as I was sleeping after dinner, there was a loud noise, and then the room was full of smoke and the window was broken. Nicholas lost consciousness on the spot. The old politician retired and returned to the countryside with his wife. Nicholas went abroad for recuperation, tourism and archaeological research after his illness. Many years later, when he came back, his parents had died, and he lived in his father's territory and became a person who lived with his philosophical works for the rest of his life.
