The poem "Refutation of Monsieur Sainte-Beuve" stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and Garion's laughter and scolding became the basis of the article, so that the arrogant and domineering Sainte-Beuve completely closed his mouth and disappeared.

Originally, everyone else was waiting to see the show and see how Sainte-Beuve would refute Garion, but to their disappointment, Sainte-Beuve did not say a word in the literary criticism section, allowing the other party to hang up the past shame for everyone to enjoy.

However, it is said that Sainte-Beuve did not set foot in the house for more than a week, and that the various dinners he had booked before were dismissed on the grounds that he was unwell, and that he was now eager to find a hole to get into, and to close his eyes and ears, not wanting to hear the slightest comment from the world about him.

Garion knew that any insult would be innocuous to the brazen Sainte-Beuve, but by pulling out the dark weaknesses in his heart, he could only escape.

There is nothing more poisonous than attacking the heart.

The poem "Refutation of Monsieur Sainte-Beuve" only caused a sensation in high society, and many people were curious about the unspeakable secret between Sainte-Beuve and Hugo.

The new serialization of "1984" has sparked a real discussion, and Gallian's depiction of a world that is free and free to think like crows hovering in the dark sky, eyes watching your life pervasively, all your secrets, tape and seals gagging your mouth.

Man becomes an emotionless machine, with a pair of gloomy eyes on the endless propaganda posters, watching everything.

"Big Brother is watching you."

After reading this article, Goncourt's friends asked who the author of this article was.

It's so wonderful!

In particular, the depressing and hopeless atmosphere is described as wonderful, which makes people want to stop.

Even Flaubert himself, after reading the 1984 chapter serialization, gasped. The author's pen refers to the evil that oppresses over their heads, the tacit oppression of everyone, and only this article uses the mouth of the future to refract all the political clouds hanging over their heads.

Flaubert was impatient to see what was going on, but the last line of explanation made him stunned.

It's not just him, but many people like him who have seen the beginning of this serial have similar crazy thoughts.

"What? The author is in prison? Serial updates paused? What a reason for this! ”

………………

"Knock knock, knock knock."

There was a sharp knock on Baudelaire's newly furnished door, and he hurriedly put down his book and got up to open it.

I saw an anxious Goncourt standing at the door, even a little out of breath. Baudelaire hurriedly moved out of the way and let him in quickly.

"What's the matter, my friend."

Baudelaire was worried that what he had a hunch would come true, so he said worriedly, "Is the French government coming to you for trouble?" ”

He had been ready to be held accountable from the time he insisted on publishing the serial, but the other party just gasped and waved his hand at him.

Then Baudelaire remembered the unplanned "Refutation of Monsieur Sainte-Beuve", and hastened to ask, "Is it Monsieur Sainte-Beuve who has come to find trouble?" ”

Goncourt shook his head again, and when he had caught his breath, he grabbed Baudelaire's shoulder and said, "My friend, where is the author of your serialized novel, I have been driven to death by others for the past two days!" If I had known this, I wouldn't have agreed to the serialization of that novel. ”

Baudelaire was taken aback by Goncourt's words and nervously asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't you know, Flaubert, and even Monsieur Lamartine, who is not very proactive, came to my office and asked me why the serialization of 1984 had been interrupted, and I explained to them that the author was temporarily in prison and could not be updated. But none of them believed it. Flaubert even threatened me, saying that if he had not negotiated a deal over the manuscript fee, he would voluntarily contact Garion to find a new newspaper for "1984" to serialize. Oh my God, I don't believe it no matter how I explain it, and before I left, I even said that if Le Paris didn't dare to serialize, they would spontaneously publish the finished manuscript into a book! ”

Goncourt complained to Baudelaire that he had only returned Baudelaire a favor before, and he had no idea that the novel would cause a sensation, and even the faceless Lamartine came to question why he had found such a bad reason for "1984" to stop watching.

However, Baudelaire's heart caused a lot of shock, whether it was Flaubert, a controversial rookie in the literary and artistic world, or Lamartine, who lost to Napoleon III in the 1848 presidential election, these two "faux pas" actions affirmed Garion's talent on the side.

After the publication of Madame Bovary, Flaubert once said to himself, "In Paris, if you are not entangled in lawsuits, you are not a good writer at all." ”

Now it seems that Garion has followed in his footsteps.

Goncourt took out his briefcase, grabbed a stack of letters, and laid them in front of Baudelaire, and said, "Well, there are a lot of letters, all from readers. They all questioned why "1984" was serialized after only two issues before it stopped, and without exception, they all said that they did not like the current novel serialization at all, and strongly demanded that "1984" be republished. ”

"If it was just these innocuous questions, I wouldn't have come to you, but today the newspaper "Le Paris" received this thing, and I decided to come to you."

Goncourt put a bullet on the table and said solemnly, "This is also sent by the reader, and a note is attached, which reads: Trouble the editor to tell the author that this is the end of the break." ”

Baudelaire was also startled, looked at the bullet in front of him, and asked rhetorically, "So radical?" Is it a revolutionary reader? ”

Goncourt looked at Baudelaire with trepidation, spread his hands and said, "I don't care about it now, anyway, you either find a way to get him back on the serialization, or I'll make his address public and let readers go to him." I'm more afraid of deadly bullets than government censorship. ”

Baudelaire, however, did not show any panic, he smiled and picked up the bullet, and said, "No, no, Goncourt, my friend, this is a great opportunity to get Galian out of prison. If the revolutionary party had now agreed with him, things would have been much easier. ”

He stood up, walked to the desk and picked up the pen, then turned to Goncourt, the corners of his mouth slightly outlined, and said, "I will now draft a statement about the author's suspension of updates, presumably this statement will definitely bring great public pressure to the judiciary." ”
