Chapter 670: "One Hundred Years of Solitude" that swept the world
"Is it really that pretty?" This group of dumbfounded people at Columbia University now has such a question. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Is this "One Hundred Years of Solitude" really as magical as the legend of the group of people outside? Anyway, everyone was a little incredulous.
"You have to admit this fact......" At this time, someone had finished reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and said: "I have to say, I can't believe that this is a novel written by Chinese, but it is written by Li Kuo, it is true, although it does not look like it was written by Chinese ...... with a single punctuation mark."
"Is it that good......
Everyone looked at it with doubts, but the truth after that was unexpected for them.
This book is really that good! In particular, the narrative method and narrative device in it, as well as the loneliness from magic to reality that is really revealed in the whole book, make people at a loss, making this novel almost become a black hole that swallows thoughts, and all the information in this novel is always echoing in people's heads.
And they began to get convinced.
At this moment, more voices began to appear on the Internet in the United States, and these voices made the comments on the scandal between Li Kuo and the two universities begin to be reversed, and now there are more and more people who support Li Kuo.
"Well, when he was invited by two universities, we always thought he wasn't qualified, but now I'm going to say, wake up, if the author of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' is not qualified to speak at such a university, is this university in heaven?"
Indeed, the benefits of this book have been gradually ripened by everyone.
"It's a super magical novel, and there are so many things involved, especially the way the novel is written, which makes people feel that it's not a fantasy novel, but it can never be a realistic novel, and a lot of things alternate together, and there is a feeling that cause and effect are reversed...... God knows why Li Kuo wrote it like this, and why does it feel so good to write it like this? ”
"For 'years later, when Colonel Aureliano stands in front of the firing squad, he will remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to see the ice.'" At this beginning, I can only say one sentence of convincing, if I guess correctly, then there will definitely be many people who imitate him in the future...... Because it's so charming! ”
…… At the same time, on the American side, the most authoritative literary magazine "The Paris Review" published a review of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
The Paris Review is the most authoritative literary criticism magazine in the United States, and some of the views published on it can basically represent the mainstream American literary circles.
"First of all, let's define One Hundred Years of Solitude, the first literary masterpiece worth reading for all mankind after Genesis.
The artistic characteristics of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" make us think of a description:
First is to admit it, and then
It's to defeat or destroy.
He combines Latin American culture in his creations, thinking
Imagery and exaggeration, fantasy and reality, absurd myths and specific life scenes are skillfully combined to form a bizarre picture of social life, writing the seemingly unreal very realistically, and the seemingly impossible writing completely possible, expressing the reality of Latin America with a world full of magical colors. His unique creative style leaves readers with endless aesthetic space......
Of all the works I've read, I like the delicate and magical opening of One Hundred Years of Solitude, which hides a deep sense of sadness and helpless fatalism in this quiet narrative, but with the clever interweaving of time and space to form a huge suspense.
Among all the works I have read, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" gave me the greatest shock, Li Kuo's calm and calm tone depicts a magical Latin America, portraying so many lonely people of all kinds, making me feel a little surprised in the melancholy, talking with them warmly, slowly feeling lucky and longing, slowly feeling pathos and desolation, under the impact of the fierce tragic force, the soul trembles.
What are the similar features of this novel to The Lord of the Rings:
Li Kuo uses his story to create a world of his own, which is a microcosm and a realistic and delicate new world.
…… This is an immortal masterpiece, and what is even more terrifying is that it was actually written by a Chinese (with no other meaning, but purely to say, a Chinese, writing a story about Latin America tens of thousands of miles away).
Of course, this is also a "One Hundred Years of Solitude" for all mankind! ”
The previous "One Hundred Years of Solitude", including the previous "The Lord of the Rings" and the like, have not been so praised by the "Paris Review", and many things are still just staying in the folk.
In fact, there are fewer than ten novels in the United States that have received such almost unflawed reviews in The Paris Review!
You can imagine the meaning of "One Hundred Years of Solitude"!
What's more, many times everyone understands that Chinese works in the United States must undergo more tests, more difficult than ordinary American authors and even authors from other countries, but Li Kuo actually passed five levels and cut six generals like this, which can imagine the current significance of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
"One Hundred Years of Solitude" became completely popular in the United States.
Even though the book is still a bit niche after all, and not every American likes it, the book's sales and influence are skyrocketing.
People in the world naturally know what is happening in the United States, China reacts the most fiercely, and then, there are many other countries who are still being heated by Li Kuo, and the legend of Li Kuo's experience in the United States also affects all of them.
The response from Latin America was also particularly strong, and several countries sent invitations to Li Kuo, inviting them to visit their own countries and treat them as guests.
Li Kuo mostly declined......
One Hundred Years of Solitude sold more than 500,000 copies in the United States a month after it was sold, which is already remarkable for such a novel to reach this sales, not to mention that this will obviously be a novel that will always be bought.
Through these sales, Li Kuo also earned two million US dollars, and the copyright of the book has also been sold to too many countries and regions, and he has now received three million US dollars.
So much money is also the value of world masterpieces......
At this time, Colombia was also trampled under the feet of many people, and many people hated to spit on them to show their superiority. After all, Colombia did that visionless thing before, and now it has begun to be counterattacked in various ways.
But they deserve it......
On the other hand, New York University is touted in various ways for its vision and style...... There are also more people looking forward to Li Kuo's next speech at New York University.
