Chapter 117: He Changed France
Ask for a referral ticket! The second more
Bolst held the manuscript paper given by Garion in his hand, and looked at the back of the carriage in the distance with a complicated expression. Garion can make a name for himself in a safer way, so why should he go off the rails to challenge the bottom line of conservatives. And the answer given by the other party to himself also made Bolst realize that the realm of the young man in front of him was much higher than that of other literati.
"My thoughts?"
"I hope that one day I can lie in the Panthéon, and the people of France will write on my tombstone, or write a book for me, and I hope to hear this sentence: He changed France." ”
"He changed France."
Borst muttered to himself, his expression becoming complicated. It is not known whether to call Garian a true idealist, or a pioneer in breaking the yoke.
The last time he met a slut who tried to change the status quo for Parisian women, but was scolded by conservatives as unruly, was the deviant Madame Georges-Sand.
He looked at this manuscript, which was likely to cause an explosion of public opinion in Paris, and said to himself, "Since His Excellency Garion is trying to change the status quo, then I will help you with it." Please take care. ”
Bolster respected Gallián's opinion and published the story. Even the editor-in-chief himself asked him if he really wanted to do it. This is no longer a challenge to the authority of the government by preaching liberalism, but a challenge to the bottom line of Catholicism in France.
Bolster, however, nodded firmly, and wanted to get the manuscript published.
Early the next morning, two sensational news events occurred in Paris.
The first was the headline, which no one cared about, about the funeral of Prince Jérôme.
The second is the proposal that everyone is concerned about, and the title is very avant-garde in the era of 1860.
Condom Initiative – On the Importance of Condom Wearing
The author stresses the importance of using safe T from a granular perspective, and even refutes the nonsense of the so-called mercury cleansing therapy on the market.
Garian tore off the veil of syphilis and warned the world that it was an almost hopeless disease!
"When the doctor claims that mercury can cure syphilis, wake up, it's simply the recipe of an evil wizard. It's more important to take safety measures in advance than to fix it after the fact! The mercury you use has a corrosive effect on the digestive tract and is damaging to the kidneys and capillaries. There are symptoms caused by the erosion of the digestive tract, and after absorption, there is kidney damage and urinary obstruction and capillary damage leading to plasma loss, and even shock. Mercury is easily absorbed by the skin, as well as by the respiratory and digestive tracts. It is even capable of destroying the central nervous system. ”
"Let's talk about syphilis, which some people are proud of, because the syphilis virus can invade the central nervous system and can cause meningeal vascular disease, tabes dorsalis, and paralytic dementia. Invasion of the cardiovascular system, which can lead to aoritis, atresia of the aortic valve, aortic aneurysm, etc. In severe cases, it can be fatal. Damage to bones, eyes, respiratory tract, digestive tract and other systems, causing tissue and organ destruction, loss of function, and in severe cases, disability or other adverse consequences! ”
"This is not a French disease of romantic pride, it is a plague that will kill you!"
……………
It takes courage to bring a hidden secret to the table. Exposing the secrets of pseudo-medicine and bringing the topic of sex to the open is tantamount to violating the bottom line of religious conservatives!
The newspaper in which Garion published the article was shot out that day, and it was too exciting for the people of Paris to put it in the open. It's more exciting than sneaking around and reading forbidden SQ novels.
Even an open-minded woman like George Sand would blush when she sees Garion's article. Dumas and Flaubert, on the other hand, only smiled.
Their choice of silence and non-opposition is already the greatest support for Garion. Flaubert even felt like he had lost – Madame Bovary was a little inferior to the boldness and straightforwardness of the article.
After reading the article, Dumas said that Garion could no longer be described as a literati, and that he should be described as a "talented monster".
"He will challenge every authority of the old times, and wake up the slumbering and numb people with the faint sound of a trumpet! He wants to prove to sin that the tip of a pen is more terrible than a bullet. ”
Of course, in the eyes of the archbishop, this bold and explicit article is simply a declaration of war on the ethical and moral position they defend!
Immediately after the article was published, some Catholics began to boycott the article to the newspaper, and even reported to the news censorship department that the newspaper was openly publishing love books!
These conservatives, whose ideas are comparable to those of abstainers, firmly believe that the impact of this article is the beginning of moral decay!
Only Garion is not in a hurry, even in the era when there is no news broadcast and no Internet, he can imagine that public opinion against him will be like a storm and a huge wave.
Baudelaire was the last man of letters to know about it, and when he saw the article in the newspaper Garrianden, he was furious.
In his eyes, it's all his own reputation, prestige is making the stake!
Baudelaire angrily walked into the room and waved the newspaper in his hand at Turgenev, losing his composure.
"Crazy, crazy, just crazy."
Turgenev asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Look at this newspaper!"
Baudelaire put the newspaper on the table, held his forehead to sort out his thoughts, and said slowly, "Since the revolutionary incident, our old friend has gone further and further down the evil path, does he want to make a big incident this time?" Challenging the authority of the government, at most you will be fined, and this time he actually challenged religion? ”
For nearly half a century, he shuddered at the assassination of progressives by fanatical believers.
After Turgenev finished reading the report about Garion, his face immediately changed, and like Baudelaire, his face was full of incredulity. In Tsarist Russia, where the Orthodox Church has secular ethics, a man like Garion would have been arrested and imprisoned.
Only Baudelaire's swearing voice remained in the living room, and Turgenev asked incredulously, "Is he going to risk his life and fight religious conservatives to the end?" ”
"Hell knows."
Baudelaire walked to the coat rack and was about to pick up his hat and go out, he said to Turgenev behind him, "But I can't let him go unchecked, I don't want to see our friends on the verge of death again and again." ”
