At first glance, I thought Christophe 1 was a female writer. Chinese characters in China may be a little harmful. Christophe, the representative work of Roman Roland, is said to be good by many people who have seen it. President Xu recommended reading classics for Southwest Jiaotong University students. Every time I see the size of the novel, I retreat every time.
It should be admitted that Christophe seems to have never seen the fascinating taste of The Count of Monte Cristo and Les Miserables. It seems that I like reading novels with story buttons, especially the plots of legends and the twists and turns of detectives. "Christophe" doesn't have such a story button, only a large section of the protagonist's psychological activity analysis, which looks very boring. It really takes patience and determination to read the whole story and see the evil corner.
After reading the novel Christophe, I don't seem to have left the great image of Christophe in my mind. "Christophe" for a musician to become famous and become a family and the birth process of representative works, I always feel that the description is not in-depth, chewy and lacks the texture of pipa to describe music. Comparing the Biography of Who by Roman Roland, I feel that Beethoven's biography is like a compressed version of Christophe. Of course, Christophe also added some love plots. The protagonist fell in love with many women, and felt that the writing was not deep enough.
Christophe is a bit wonderful and touching. I think it's about Christophe taking a bus to visit a dying bosom friend in the German countryside. This bosom friend likes to appreciate his works very much. He was forced to flee that part of Germany because he was attacked halfway. The main part of the novel describes the hero's struggle in France and his fame and family, which is not very good. After that, it was not wonderful to escape from France to Switzerland. The ending of the novel is not decisive, leaving a aftertaste.
I admire romain rolland very much. He wrote the single-line Christophe into a million masterpieces, but there is no information text piled up like Les Miserables, and there is no lengthy dialogue text like The Count of Monte Cristo. Romain rolland is a pioneer in the description of stream-of-consciousness novels. He is good at learning Tolstoy's descriptive skills. Psychological description can be long or short, which is easier than scenery description, and it is difficult for readers to pick out omissions.
The remaining value of Christophe may lie in the fact that the author wrote the musician Christophe, instead of the traditional mode of pursuing Gao Daquan's perfect hero, and wrote the complexity of human nature. Celebrities also have vanity and vulgarity. Christophe written by the author has been active in Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland and other countries. The author's description of Germany is not very true, Italy has no characteristics, and France is more subtle, which proves that Roman Roland is French and is familiar with the urban life in Paris.
After reading Christophe, I felt 2 19 15, an ordinary year. This is a special year for French writer romain rolland. This year, his novel john cleese Dover won the Nobel Prize.
A century later, an ignorant teenager, with admiration for the sages, resolutely opened the long book. As everyone knows, what awaits him is a long night and stars.
Yes, one winter vacation and one semester, I still haven't finished reading this book. Book * * * is divided into two parts, one * * * more than 800 pages, seemingly not too many pages, but the words are dense. The plot is mild, and there are occasional discussions about politics and philosophy. For me today, it's really a bit "super-class". It is not easy to read three or four pages every day at school in the later period. Among them, I saw many domestic works interspersed among them.
When the teacher reviews for us, I have many choices. After much hesitation, I chose the book John Christophe. Strange to say, whenever I want to write this book, my mind is empty, even worse than a two-minute micro-movie. Is it true that this job is not as good as I thought, or am I not good enough? Finally, on a foreign bus, I finally figured it out.
The reason why it gives me a "feeling after reading" is not as much as other domestic works, or even as good as a healing short film; Because, it gives me not only the change of my mind, but also the touch of my soul.
In fact, each of us has a Christopher.
It is bohemian, it is maverick, it is kind and naive, and it is firm. Although brilliant, but abandoned by the world, you can still move forward calmly and never stop. Who can deny that he never dreamed of such a life?
And when an author's "real" Christopher appeared in front of my eyes, it is conceivable that the most passionate and sincere part of my soul was awakened. Although I am not as talented as him, I don't want to die in the crowd. I also want to fight with people, the earth, the sky and the wheel of destiny, just like him. Although there are thousands of people, I'm going.
This is Christopher when he was young. Because of this, he is the person that countless boys aspire to be.
However, Christopher in his later years is no longer like this, and he should not be like this anymore. There are countless twists and turns in the article, which makes Christopher's character change slowly. He has changed. He is no longer so strong and unyielding. He not only reconciled with his former enemies, but also educated young people like himself in turn. He experienced a lot of worldly wisdom, lost his best friend and beloved, and had to travel to other countries ... Is he still the Christopher I expected? When I look back at that young man, I can't help asking myself that he is regarded as a hero by me.
Or perhaps, every old man who has experienced vicissitudes is his own hero?
Maybe at some point in my future life, I will be suddenly enlightened. Christopher, he has never changed. I will stick to it.
I want to send you a favorite sentence, as the end of the article, "A person with sunshine in his heart, a dynamic person, why should he look for sunshine and life outside himself?"
Reflections on Reading Christophe 3 Every time I finish reading a long story, I feel a sense of loss, especially this time I read John Christophe, which took 65,438+0.5 months. It is said that this book has influenced many people, but I'm a little unsure whether I can finish it.
The author has a good grasp of people's psychology in different periods. From Christophe's infancy to adolescence, to youth, to middle age, to old age, different problems encountered in different periods, what psychology people will have, are analyzed clearly. Taking time as the main line, it is interspersed with several important life fragments of Christophe. For example, his relationship with his grandparents when he was a child, his friendship and first love in adolescence, his love and career in youth, his friendship and love in middle age and his friendship in old age. The whole work is beautifully designed. Of course, this is a novel that won the Nobel Prize, which is undoubtedly a good book, but if I met this book a few years ago, I might not be interested in it. Now, because of my expressive ability, I may not be able to say his goodness.
Write a few articles that impress me.
Evaluation of Christophe's father: "He is not a bad guy, but a good guy, maybe worse. He is weak by nature, lacks courage and perseverance, and thinks he is a father, a dutiful son, a virtuous husband and a good man. Maybe he is a filial father and son and so on. If we want to do this, we only need the kindness of a mother-in-law, as long as we love our family like animals and like a part of our own bodies. " What kind of person is he? It's nothing. This nobody is really a terrible thing in life! Like a piece of lifeless meat hanging in the air, they will fall, and they must fall; When I fell, I pulled everything around me. "
Do you think there are many such people around us? This nobody is really a terrible thing in life. )
When Christophe was leaving his hometown to travel, his mother didn't agree, and his two younger brothers also took the opportunity to attack their younger brother, saying that he was unfilial. In fact, both his younger brothers are unfilial. His mother complained to him all day, afraid that he would leave. Even she used the wrong method. She complained to her neighbors that Christophe was unfilial. As a result, neighbors also called him unfilial, which made him very angry. Later, Christophe had to flee to France, and the two made up again. Christophe often writes home, and his old mother also writes a simple reply. When the old mother felt that she was dying, Christophe went home to see her mother for the last time, regardless of the danger of being arrested.
Unfortunately, Christophe had several love affairs in his life, but none of them developed into marriage. If the girl he first fell in love with doesn't deserve his love, and the single mother he loved doesn't deserve him, that silly Ada is a joke, so it's a pity that he meets several people later.
The French female teacher's love for him, like an epiphyllum blooming in the middle of the night, faded before it was appreciated. Cleverly, her younger brother, who lived alone with her, happened to be the one who could appreciate Christophe's talent. The two later got to know each other and helped each other, which was even more touching. Her brother became Christophe's best friend instead of her.
After that, Christophe married a female singer. She also had a miserable and bumpy childhood, and it was very hard to climb to the present position and was hidden by many people. She and he are both strong in life, just like endless weeds. The book commented on their love: "Christophe will not fall in love with a person who is beneficial to him, but would rather love a person who makes him suffer." Only two extremes can attract each other. Human nature is always looking for something that can destroy itself. He tends to consume his passionate life as much as possible, and doesn't like frugal and prudent life. For people like Christophe, this method is right, because what he wants is not to live as long as possible, but to live vigorously. "
This is one of the reasons why many people's ideal lovers can't walk into the marriage hall with themselves. Most people want to love passionately, but they are not prepared for the dull life after enthusiasm. )
Later, Christophe fell in love with his friend's wife. He unlocked her imprisonment with music and ignited her passion. However, after all, this is not blessed love, it is full of difficulties, and it has a fence that even brave Christophe can't break through-morality. Many years later, Christophe thought of her. In the church, they met, but they didn't know each other, so they passed by. Life has returned to a state of stagnant water. Even if a huge wave turns up in your heart, it can only be the sea of the past.
The last appearance is the women I admire, and such women exist in large numbers in life. She quietly fell in love with Christophe when she was a teenager. At that time, he just taught her cousin music and taught her by the way. But she really appreciates his music and admires his talent. However, she later married the count, and she still secretly helped Christophe through her own strength. When Christophe's long reflex arc finally realized who was helping him, she moved. Christophe wants her love, but the time has passed. When Christophe went to Italy and met her again, her husband had passed away, leaving a pair of children. Christophe wanted to marry her, but she said that she was already married and thought that marriage would destroy their friendship. Later, Christophe never mentioned it again, and she wanted to give him what he wanted-to get married. However, her son, a little devil, was hostile to Christophe and separated the lovers again. Their love has always been in the wrong place, but everything they do for love is so beautiful and meaningful. Because of her appearance, Christophe became much more peaceful. Christopher also facilitated the marriage between her daughter and his best friend's son, who was a lovely old man at that time.
At the end of the book, it says: The Latin inscription under the statue of St. Christophe in front of the ancient church is:
When you see Christophe's face,
This is the day when you will die, not from evil.
What exactly does this sentence mean? As far as my understanding is concerned, I think when readers know the story of Christophe's life, they should be able to see hope from his experience. The brave Christophe will give you inspiration and let you go your own way honestly. Christophe has also reached a transcendental state under the tempering of life, which can not only live in peace with the world, but also stick to his own path. This is the road of the warrior and the road of the strong.
Finally, I think I should thank Mr. Fu Lei for his excellent translation and for bringing Christophe to readers in China.
After reading Christophe, I learned a lot, and what benefited me most was patience. These two common words have extraordinary meanings. As long as you are patient when you are angry, you may not get into big trouble.
John Christophe described his childhood experiences, but he tried not to take them to heart, because he was very talented in music since he was a child, so everyone in his family was jealous of him except his mother and grandfather, and he lacked care since he was a child. Later, grandpa died, and his family bullied him. Only his mother protected him, and his father became an alcoholic because he didn't have grandpa to guard him. Drinking made his father spend all his family savings. Eleven-year-old Christopher goes out to work. He has to endure the pain of going to work at the age of eleven and the jealousy of his family. He has been patient all day, so to speak.
I really benefited a lot from reading this book. When Bruce Lee was forced to go abroad, he wrote a word forbearance on his palm. It seems that patience is very important.
For me, it's not good. Before reading this book, my tolerance was close to zero. I get anxious when people talk about me. Take the last final exam for example. After the final exam, my mother said, you certainly didn't do well in math this time. I held back my anger and asked why. My mother said, "Do you usually do problems?" My anger erupted like a volcano and I had a big fight with my mother. After reading this book, I felt ridiculous at that time. Why am I so angry? Be patient and it will pass.
As long as you are patient when you are angry, you will avoid many unnecessary things. The book John Christophe has benefited me a lot.
After reading Christophe, 5. Shortly after reading Harry Potter, Lian Tou asked for a big book, but I strongly recommended Lao She. After reading two books, she mentioned that I just had John, and I loved him when I was young. Christophe, show it to her.
These two days, what she often tells me is: I saw him six years old, he was twelve years old, and his father died. ...
Today, one afternoon in Starbucks, she finished reading the second book. On the way out, she said, "Mom, I miss John. Christophe's father doesn't love him. He always beats him when he doesn't want to play the piano. "
I thought for a moment and said, "What should parents do with gifted children? Mozart and Lang Lang, for example, had almost no childhood and were forced to practice by their fathers. Lang Lang's father didn't even allow him to see his mother because her mother was too kind. If you have a talent for music, it is worth pondering whether your mother should force you to play the flute for ten hours every day or let you practice at will. If John. Christophe's father is not strict, so there is one less musician and one more ordinary person in the world. Only Mozart and Lang Lang know whether ordinary people are happy or immersed in music. Of course, we are all ordinary people, and mom just wants you to grow up happily! "
Lotus root breathed a sigh of relief: "fortunately, I am an ordinary person."
After reading "Christophe", how does a person who is not amazing in appearance but has musical talent survive hardships in various struggles and pursue freedom? This book, John. Christophe has a detailed introduction.
Born in a music world in Germany, he showed his talent in music since he was a child, and he became a court musician at the age of eleven. However, his doctor is full of ups and downs and misfortunes because he doesn't like the evil and hypocrisy stored in society. He was also overwhelmed by reality and drank too much. But in the end, because he can face these adversities with a brave and optimistic attitude, he eventually became a master of art and enriched people's hearts with beautiful music.
There are many roads in the world, and everyone wants to take the spacious and bright avenue, but only the rugged path is the road to genius.
Some people live an ordinary life, some people have ups and downs, some people live a vain life, and some people live a simple and happy life.
Like another novel character, it is actually the author himself-Paul. So is Kochakin. His fate is not a thoroughfare. He went out to work, often fought because of his pride, and finally took part in the revolutionary war. When he was blind and paralyzed in bed, he still had the courage to continue writing. In the meantime, he also lost a manuscript, which made him soak in the soup for half a year. However, he still didn't give up, and he started again ... He said: "A man's life should be spent like this: when he looks back on the past, he will not be ashamed of doing nothing, nor will he regret wasting his time." At the last moment of his life, he can say,' My life has been dedicated to the greatest cause in the world-fighting for the liberation of all mankind'. "
Christophe has been struggling, but he has been fighting for freedom, during which he has been burdened with countless accusations. Finally, with the help of his friends, gold shines. As long as it is gold, no matter how deep the swamp is, it will always shine.
Chapter VII Reflections on Christophe is just like romain rolland's opening dedication: dedicated to the free souls of all countries that have suffered, struggled and will be defeated. "john christopher has been suffering, struggling, winning and being free all his life.
So, what is the life for him all his life?
Christophe said, "Go."
Rushing forward seems to be the embodiment of life in life, a life course and a struggle course. People are born to fight for the value and meaning of life. They refused to deceive themselves because of the lies or false light in front of them, so they bravely went into the darkness to explore the real light. Regardless of faith, career or love, there will inevitably be setbacks on this road, but as long as we can constantly extricate ourselves and constantly update, hope will always be ahead.
In other words, this is a river, even if it is small and unremarkable, or growling, but it always has a source, calm and calm, accompanied by blue sky and white clouds, kisses on both sides of the strait, soothing day and night ... in the end, it all rushes into the sea calmly, and finally it is silent, in exchange for eternal freedom. Listen carefully, they are Christophe's music. Christophe was born with the spirit of simple music. He has experienced and struggled. All these people, friends, lovers, relatives and enemies, communicated with them, gathered together, filled Christophe's world and finally entered his music. It is a mixture and decomposition of Shakespeare and Beethoven. In fact, life is nature and art. ..
Life is a battle, keep fighting. Christophe, from his childhood longing to leave his family, to his contempt and resistance to powerful people in his youth, to his efforts to realize his dreams, and to his constant friction with society in his middle age, finally laughed it off and overwhelmed the pain. From fighting with others to fighting with yourself, fighting with the ugly side hidden in your heart. Pain and injury have made up his life, and he is used to it. Although he saw the dark night of society, he stayed in the dark for a long time and learned to be cunning. Like an owl, he can see clearly in the dark. His life is a battle epic. Dreams are the source of fighting. He sacrificed his dream as a god, his soul and body. Music, art, art of music, art has never left his life. It takes courage to stick to your dreams. He dared to stick to his dreams. Although he was hungry for the pursuit of his dreams and was criticized, he never gave up. This is the most touching place. After reading this book, ask yourself and the people in this world if you dare to stick to your dreams.
Christophe influenced many people. I hope he can become a strong and loyal friend of more people, a good companion and friend in the test of life, so that everyone can have a joy and love in life and live and love regardless.
This kind of life can be said to be youthful and restless.
Thoughts on Reading Christophe 8 Recently, it took me more than two weeks to finish reading Johann Christophe, the first book by French writer romain rolland, with more than 250,000 words. It happened in early winter, when the cold wind roared and pedestrians only shivered. I thought of Christopher's melancholy childhood and rebellious teenager, and thought of writing reading notes.
I finished reading the first three volumes, namely Dawn, Morning and Teenager. There are many scenery descriptions in the novel, which are beautiful. Reading novels is also appreciating words. Roman Roland's words have their own unique texture and describe the protagonist's psychological state just right.
The novel begins with the birth of Christopher. The old musician Michelle is John's grandfather. He is tall and energetic, a local court musician and a local celebrity. However, his son Melchior is an alcoholic, who often gets drunk, which makes Michelle and his wife Louisa very helpless. Louisa is also Christopher's mother. She is a typical puritan. She takes good care of her family. Christopher grew up in such a family environment. His childhood was rebellious, but his ancestors had music genes in their blood. By chance, his father Maerki discovered his musical talent, and he was forced to learn piano. Even if he didn't want to, he was forced to learn piano by his fierce father. Christopher used music to express his anger, and his grandfather Michelle discovered his grandson's musical talent. He wrote his grandson's music as a score, added his own ideas and signed his grandson's name. So Christopher was so confident that he even held a concert for the Duke. At this point, Christopher embarked on the road of music.
Later, Michelle, an old musician, died, his family was in decline, and his father, Manxiwo, was neglected, drinking excessively, and finally died inexplicably. Christopher at this time is like an adult. He took on the burden of his family and worked as a piano teacher to support his family. A premature family responsibility, his heart is still hot, but he is not happy without the simplicity of his peers. He doesn't have any friends either. By chance, he met the rich second generation Oddo. They broke up from close friends, but their social experiences and family environment were different. One is a weak rich boy, and Christopher is a rebellious and impulsive poor boy. Their friendship is only the companionship when they are lonely, and they are doomed to go their separate ways.
Later, Christopher met his first love. When he was a music teacher at Mina's house, Krych and his daughter took care of him. He mistook this for a beautiful feeling. However, Krych is a typical declining aristocrat. She looked down on Christopher. She is a hypocritical person, and gentleness is only superficial. She envies the life of the upper class in her bones. When she learned that her daughter Mina and Christopher were madly in love, she ruthlessly destroyed Christopher's first love, completely shattered the child's wishful thinking and reflected this cold world. Later, Mina and Christopher's love broke up.
The death of his father destroyed the family, and poverty and pain made Christopher and his mother Louisa move. At this time, Louisa's mother was numb and tortured by years, and Christopher once again propped up this devastated home. He is a mature young man, but the artist's passion makes him continue to create, but the young man's fiery body has to make him feel rich. His new home is a middle-class conservative, and the ugly young girl Rosa has a soft spot for him, but the romantic Christopher falls in love with the neighbor widow Sa Pi Na, and Sa Pi Na is a fantastic beauty. Young lovesick Christopher only feels love, but he is afraid to express it shyly. Only when Sapina died, he was in great pain. Later, I met Ada, a very mediocre girl, and they had a relationship. Unfortunately, Ada knows nothing about music and art, and their love is short-lived and doomed to be forgotten.
Finally, tell me about Christopher's uncle, a street vendor. He is a loner, but he has the thinking of a philosopher. He taught Christopher to sing, and he was very reasonable. He said, "face every day piously. Don't always think about what will happen in a year or ten years. Think about today. Put your theory aside. All theories, even moral theories, are stupid, deceptive and harmful to people. Never try to twist your life with violence. Let's have a good day first. You should live every day piously. You should love it, respect it, especially don't defile it, and don't hinder its bud growth. Love every day! Even on a sad and dark day like today, you should love it. You don't have to worry. You must learn to wait first. Winter came and everything fell asleep. And in the near future, the beautiful earth will always wake up. You just have to wait patiently like this ... "
Thoughts on Reading Christophe 9 Today, the book I introduced to you is called John Christophe. If you want to know the details of this book, please follow me and continue reading.
John Christophe was born in a very poor family in Germany. His mother's name is Louisa and his father's name is Melchior. He is an alcoholic and idle. Christophe's grandfather is a very kind person and a music expert. He hoped that his son would inherit himself, but he became this, so Grandpa could only pin his hopes on little Christophe.
Grandfather didn't see the wrong person. When Christophe was 6 years old, he held a piano concert at the court, which was greatly appreciated by the Grand Duke. 1 1 years old, he was left by Dagong to be a musician in the court and became a striking young musician. 12 years old, his father jumped into the river and died, and his mother and son lived alone. Christophe can only rely on a few teachers and court musicians' deputies to make a living. However, the oppression of power and the criticism of public opinion forced him to flee to Paris, France. After all the hardships, he relied on it.
This book mainly reflects the decadent and dark social reality and background of Europe before World War I.. It also tells us that if you encounter difficulties, you should work as hard as Christophe. There will always be a rainbow after the rain, and everything has a bright side. As long as you work hard, the difficulties will eventually be overcome.
Thoughts on Reading Christophe 10 When I closed the last page of John Christophe, he seemed to say to me, "Retreating is giving up!"
John Christophe was born in a musical family and grew up in the spirit of German music. Mature in French traditional art; The beautiful scenery of Switzerland and Italy injected aura into his art. At the age of twelve, he became a conductor and the whole family depended on him for food. He hates disease as much as hate and has a unique view of music. But because my family has no money, I am discriminated against. But John Christophe never bowed to secular oppression, struggled with the upper class and eventually became a great musician.
I can't calm down after reading this novel for a long time. Christophe suffered as a child, we can't imagine. When his grandfather was alive, the whole family lived on the money his grandfather earned by playing the violin. Later, my grandfather died of old age and my father was an alcoholic. Christophe had to wash dishes in the restaurant. When I got home at night, my dad got drunk again and beat him and his mother. Little Christophe was only eight years old at that time, but he didn't give up. His firm will inspired him to live hard. However, fighting, cheating and abuse made him mature, but they did not make him degenerate. John Christophe, with his actions, taught me that people are not born and are not defeated. No matter how hard the conditions are, as long as you find strength, get rid of weakness and never bow your head, then you are strong and you will overcome everything. You can raise your head and proudly say to the sky, "A brilliant life is your own. As long as you are strong and unyielding, you will not be defeated by society, time and life! "
Yes, to retreat is to give up. Some people who could have a good life are willing to be defeated by society, time and life, while Helen Keller, like Christophe, is unwilling to be the weak in life. Although she was blind and deaf since she was a child, she was not satisfied. She never bowed her head and gave up in the face of difficulties and tried to be a strong person in life.
In the world of the strong, the weak are not allowed to exist. In the face of difficulties, only by striving for the upper reaches and being strong and unyielding will we not be defeated and eliminated by the times and society. You can only live on your own like John Christophe and Helen Keller, and don't expect anything from others. Although this society is full of human feelings, the competition is fierce and you will fall down if you are not careful. Some people, once they fall, can never get up; And some people, although they failed, fell down again and again in the face of difficulties, but got up again and again and never gave up. In the end, they will become the best of the times.
Stand up and become a real strong man! You know: retreat means giving up!
