1903 On June 8th, a lovely little girl was born in Brussels, Belgium. Her father, as a French diplomat, named her Margaret de Kungu, and she conquered Usain of the French Academy with her extensive talents in the future.
Only 10 days after Usana was born, her Belgian mother died of puerperal fever and peritonitis. The lack of maternal love has cast a shadow over her childhood, but it is also a kind of luck for her-there is no mother to train her into a lady according to the requirements of the upper class, and there is no sweet love to soften her, so she can grow naturally without following the rules.
Sanal has never been to school in his life. When she was a child, she traveled to Europe with her father, spent her childhood and adolescence in northern and southern France and Paris, and started her hiking trip. She loves traveling all her life, and all her possessions are two old suitcases and a lonely heart. Nothing can move her, except the inner pursuit of love.
1937 Usain went to London to meet Virginia Woolf, a famous British woman writer at that time. Woolf described her characteristics like this: "red mouth; Energetic ",also wrote," this woman must have a past. I think she dedicated herself to love and wisdom. "
Indeed, Usain dedicated his life to love and wisdom, and achieved the full bloom of life in his walking.
19 14, World War I destroyed Usain and his father's villa in Belgium, and the father and daughter fled to London to live 14 months. On the first night in London, in a crowded hotel, Usain had his first gay experience in his life.
Usana is tall and has a strong aristocratic temperament. Perhaps because of this, she has a wonderful attraction to women, and many female "fans" come to her door. At present, many gay websites are keen to paint Usana as a gay fellow villager, but in fact, Usana has a wide range of sexual interests all his life and is famous for being bisexual. She loves women and men, and there are many male partners in her life.
Sanal's works clearly show her sexual orientation. Her first novel, lek szi or the Purity Contract of Desire, tells the story of a gay man, Lekszi, leaving his wife and children behind and running for freedom and the man he loves. The second novel, The New Eurydice, describes the complex psychology of a gay man after marriage.
1934, 3 1 year-old Usana, with a strong thirst for knowledge and lust, has roamed all over Europe. She is familiar with men, women and wine. In Greece, she fell in love with Andre Flegan, an elegant and handsome young writer from Kalima Publishing House. It's a pity that Andre loves men more than Usana and can't satisfy her burning passion. Usain is looking for new love while traveling. At the Wagheim Hotel in Paris, where she often stayed, she met GraceFrick, a woman who changed her fate.
Grace190365438+10/2 was born in a middle-class family in Ohio, USA. Her parents died young. She and her brother were brought up by their uncle and later got a master's degree in English literature. After knowing Usain, she launched a fierce pursuit and kept writing letters to invite Usain.
After several trips to the United States,1September 1939, Germany and France declared war, and Usain once again set foot on the North American continent. I thought it was a temporary farewell to the war life in Europe, but I didn't expect it to be decades. Usana and Grace lived and worked together on a barren mountain island in northeastern new york for 40 years until their death. In the meantime, she taught the basic courses of French and Italian in an ordinary girls' school in the United States for nearly ten years, and wrote in French at the same time.
Grace regards Usana as her "husband". She accompanied her, served her, possessed her, protected her, influenced her, and lived wholeheartedly for Usana's creation. Even during the period when Usain became a fat woman with no money, no creative ability and big bald head, Grace lived with her contentedly day and night. She took great pains to translate Usain's most important works into English. In the end, Grace suffered from breast cancer and didn't live to see Usain put on the green robe of the French Academy, nine years before Usain died.
According to Sanal's will, all written relics such as letters and diaries between them are kept in Harvard University Library and Paris Press, and will not be made public until 50 years after their death. People will not fully understand the truth about the homosexual relationship between Usana and Grace until 2037.
A few years after Grace's death, Wusu Na revisited the places where she had been with Grace when she was young. At the age of 76, she also traveled with a 28-year-old boy, and it is said that there is still emotional exchange.
At the age of eighteen, Usain reversed the letters of his family name Kreikenkul and created a formal pen name "Yourcenar".
An enlightened father plays an important role in a person's life, such as a teacher, confidant and friend. When his daughter was very young, he invited her to enjoy books and encouraged her to write. /kloc-when he was 0/2 years old, Usana had read all the ancient heroic stories; /kloc-at the age of 0/6, Usain made his mark with his long poem Fantasy Garden, which was once appreciated by Tagore. At the age of 20, I have outlined the main characters in my future major works.
When Usain gently told his father that he liked the "bad habits" of his same-sex friends, Mr. De Kungu, who was keen on freedom and unrestrained, didn't make a fuss. He sent a message to his daughter: "Nothing is really weird and unacceptable."
Sanal longed for glory since he was a child. With the growth of age, the desire for glory becomes more and more clear, that is, to become a great writer: "Be a useful person to mankind through writing, let your works help people, just as they help themselves, and think better about freedom."
Some biographers describe Usana as a "brilliant, award-winning, master of rewriting Greek history and new fable novels". She wrote a lot of poems, plays, novels, essays and papers in her life, and she has many talents. She is not only a poet, novelist and biographer, but also a beautiful translator and a profound literary critic and critic.
Compared with the characteristics that most female writers are keen on sensational stories, Usana prefers the accuracy and meticulousness in language. Her narrative is not only full of vicissitudes of life, but also cautious in words, pursuing artistic beauty, and there is no lack of profound criticism of human nature and doubts and confusion about modern civilization.
Through her representative works "Memoirs of Hadrian" and "Hardship", we can see that her creation inherits both romanticism and classicism in French literature. This artistic generalist shows the skill of a first-class novelist everywhere, as well as his elegance, broadness and Wang Yang.
1980, 77-year-old Usain became the first female academician of the French Academy in hundreds of years. 198 1 year, 1 month, Usain delivered his inaugural speech at the French Academy. Jeand'Ormesson, who gave a reply, made a wonderful introduction and evaluation of the life, works, temperament and personality of the green-robed woman writer in romantic language, and one sentence was intriguing:
"Madam, you are here today, not because you are a woman, but because you are a great writer ... I hope all the men we have elected in the past three hundred and fifty years have the extensive talents of women like you ..."
1986, Usain was awarded the third-class honor of France and the literary medal of the American Artists Club.
1987 12 17, Usain suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage when he was preparing to pack up and set off again, and died at the age of 84 in his home in Piacenza, a desert island in northeastern Maine, USA.
The pace of walking stopped, but the once blooming life left a lingering fragrance in her works.
