Chapter 1330: It's a magnificent epic
"Mr. Mo Bai, this is a sample book published in France, you can take a look. ”
"Oh, is it out now?"
"It's been a week since it was launched. ”
"How's it going, how are the sales?"
"Very nice. ”
"What about evaluations. ”
"Evaluation......"
After being busy with spicy noodles for a few days, Mo Bai rarely had a few days of free time.
At this time, Wren, the former editor in charge of Mo Bai's works, brought a sample book of "Notre Dame de Paris" to Mo Bai.
"I won't be scolded. ”
"Hehe, Mr. Mo Bai, aren't you very confident. ”
"I'm very confident, but I can't help it when others want to scold me. ”
"Well, this time you guessed wrong, and after the release of your Notre Dame de Paris, all the book lovers were full of praise. ”
"Really, what did you say?"
"Well, you'd better log on to the website and see for yourself. There are surprises. ”
"Surprise, I'm really looking forward to it. ”
Sending off the editor Wren, Mo Baifang asked "Amazon", the largest book website in France.
I wanted to search for Notre Dame Cathedral, but there was no need to search, the first place on the homepage of the book recommended was Mo Bai's work: "Notre Dame de Paris".
[He is a masterpiece.] 】
This is what Amazon says about Notre Dame de Paris.
Click to open, and the comments behind are a lot of scolding comments.
"He's a famous book, a joke, and Amazon likes to joke too?"
"Isn't this the work written by that guy from Huaguo, and it's a famous book, why doesn't he die?"
"God hates shamelessness above all, please don't think of your shamelessness as a personality. ”
However, slowly, after turning a few pages, such scolding comments suddenly became less and less.
"Hey, how do I think this work is not bad. ”
"I also think it's good, the writing is beautiful, and the characters are deep and vivid. ”
"I like the male protagonist, although he is ugly to death, but he has the most beautiful heart. ”
"It's a travesty of reality that such a kind person looks so ugly, and a person who is like a scorpion at heart looks so handsome. ”
"The more I read this book, the more shocked I became, and let me say that this book may be no less than Alexandre Dumas's La Traviata. ”
More and more praise has made some book lovers who have not read it a little excited.
"Oh my God, are you saying true?"
"Of course it's true?"
"However, this one seems to have been written by a Chinese, can a Chinese person write such an excellent national work?"
"I don't know if it's a country, but "Notre Dame de Paris" is indeed a rare masterpiece. ”
"Okay, I'll see. ”
With the increasing number of book friends, the evaluation of "Notre Dame de Paris" by a group of book friends is also getting higher and higher.
At the beginning, I also said that this is a rare masterpiece.
Slowly, the more everyone watched it, the more they felt that this "Notre Dame de Paris" was not just a rare masterpiece.
"I seem to remember that Mo Bai said before that "The Legend of the Giant" was written as rubbish?"
"Yes, he's arrogant. ”
"He seems to say that Flaubert was also rubbish?"
"That's right. ”
"He even said that Alexandre Dumas's La Traviata was rubbish?"
"Correct...... Hey, what are you trying to say?"
"Nothing. I mean, if that's what he said. So, maybe he was a bit too much to say that these masterpieces were rubbish, but I would say that "Notre Dame de Paris" may really surpass some of the masterpieces we have always thought of. ”
At first, a group of French book lovers began to disapprove of such evaluations.
Even many book lovers who like "Notre Dame de Paris" do not approve of it.
After all, "The Legend of the Giant" and "La Traviata" are famous novels that they have watched and grown up since childhood.
Even if "Notre Dame" is well written, they don't think "Notre Dame" surpasses these works.
However, nothing stands up to comparison.
When some critics tried to compare Notre-Dame Cathedral with these masterpieces, they were struck to find:
It seems that this one conclusion is correct.
[The author makes full use of the romantic technique of contrasting beauty and ugliness, describing good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and sublime and inferiority, and exaggerates certain characteristics in the arrangement of environments, events, plots, and the shaping of characters, creating strong contrasts.
"Quasimodo" is ugly in appearance, deformed in body, and has dysfunctional facial features, but he is kind-hearted, brave in action, and noble in heart, which happens to be in stark contrast to the deputy, Bishop "Claude", who is dignified on the outside and mean and dirty on the inside...... I would say that there has never been a single person in the history of French literature who has been able to write in such a striking style. 】
This is the evaluation from the famous French critic "Ketu".
[The reason why I say that "Notre Dame de Paris" surpasses all works in French history in terms of artistic characteristics is because the author strives to conform to the original appearance of nature, and condenses and refines the real life of medieval French society in this work in an excellent technique and romantic form, according to the moving plot development, so as to present their vivid appearance and rich connotation, which is a great victory of Romanticism to break the rigid mode of classicism, and it is also an angry and tragic symphony of life. 】
This is the assessment from "Smandy", a professor of literature at the "University of Paris".
[A few days ago, many people said that I had an overestimate of Notre Dame, how can Notre Dame Cathedral be compared with "La Traviata", how can Notre Dame Cathedral surpass "The Legend of the Giants"? Perhaps "La Traviata" and "The Legend of the Giant" are both very well written, and they are even famous books in the hearts of countless people. However, these works are nothing more than one compared to Notre Dame de Paris. And what is "Notre Dame de Paris", he is a magnificent epic......]
This is the evaluation of the French literary titan "Gran".
"Tut, sure enough, no matter what time the classic works are placed, he will shine. ”
Mo Bai secretly admired "Notre Dame de Paris" written by Hugo.
For those who have never seen Notre Dame Cathedral, they may not feel how good Notre Dame Cathedral is.
However, if we compare it with a masterpiece in the previous life, the status of Notre Dame Cathedral is equivalent to the Red Mansion of China's four great masterpieces.
And we know that the Red Chamber is more than that.
In addition to the successful creation of a group of characters, as well as the history of the rise and fall of the four families of the Red Mansion.
One of the great values of the Red Mansion is that it profoundly reflects the social environment of the time.
Even, when studying the Red Chamber, many researchers will compare the history from the Red Chamber.
Maybe the history is not so detailed, but looking at the Red Mansion, he is like a real history.
Notre Dame Cathedral and the Red House have a similar effect.
Although they are fictional stories, the world they reflect is the real world.
However, this world is naturally without Hugo.
The author of this world "Notre Dame de Paris" has become "Mo Bai".
As a result, the comments of book friends became wonderful.
"Oh my God, that shameless Chinese guy really did it. ”
"The only thing I am dissatisfied with is why such a masterpiece was written by a Chinese. Ahh Gray is often gray and often unhappy, is there a ......"
"I can't get there either. Still, I have to thank him for writing a world-class book for France. ”
