Chapter 735: Apocalypse War (11) Romanticism

In the early days of his time in the city, Lovecraft and Lubofo traveled together, hoping to meet their own adventures in the crown of ten thousand cities.

Soon Lubofo met, although it is difficult to speak, he was valued by a noblewoman at a banquet with his good skin, and soon moved out of the cramped house and lived in a small sunny building, but Lubof did not forget Lovecraft, and even if he left, he still paid half of his own rent, which was regarded as lightening Lovecraft's burden.

Lovecraft, on the other hand, was not so lucky, his gloomy face was not very likable, and as a nobleman, he could not do the heavy manual work that inferior people did, and after months of going around and around, and when all the entanglements he brought in were almost exhausted, Lovecraftft found his way to survive - to write articles.

Due to the growing literacy rate of Siber, a group of literate and wealthy citizens were cultivated, and the burghers had the pastime of reading newspapers and articles, which stimulated the development of Siber's printing industry, and not long ago Siber passed the Printing Freedom Act, so now both government and private are thriving, which has become Lovecraft's means of making a living.

As an aristocrat, there were not many occupations to choose from, especially for the dilapidated aristocracy, so writing became Lovecraft's source of income.

Lovecraft's talent for writing, which was despised in his hometown, showed great brilliance when he arrived at Battyros, and Lovecraft's first essay was finally approved by his seventh submission, which was poetry, and one commentator commented that Lovecraft's essay had a noble melancholy temperament and was full of romance.

Poetry was released, and soon Lovecraft received letters from readers, followed by invitations to the famous local Romantic Louel Club, which made Lovecraft feel the joy of being recognized.

The origins of Romanticism can be traced back more than 100 years ago, in 2692, at the "Council of the Rational Movement" convened by the Enlightenment advocate Arue at the Yashiyi.

In the "Judgment Council of the Rational Movement", the Enlightenmentists, who were already increasingly divided, were completely divided into four factions: fundamentalism, controllism, liberalism, and conservatism.

For more than 100 years, the fundamentalism that maintained this view was in decline after the death of Arue's generation, and by the time of Lovecraft, there was no club that would bear the plaque of fundamentalism.

Controllism was the least supportive group more than a hundred years ago, and it is still similar today, of course, because of its small influence among the burghers, but among the poor groups such as workers and peasants, there are more and more supporters of control, and they all demand that the state reduce the gap between rich and poor through control.

As for liberalism, it is the most prevalent faction today, although the Parson dynasty did not explicitly say that it supported this doctrine, but now President Lyman II was a believer in liberalism in the academy days, and there are good things at the top and some at the bottom, and many clubs are now the brand of liberalism.

Although there are many brands of liberalism, they have not completely squeezed other factions to death, and it is conservatism that can compete with liberalism.

However, by the time of Love-Calaft, conservatism had already diverged into its own right, and those who were only willing to make some improvements but were unwilling to do much were still called conservatism, while some conservatives had gone into control, some had become de facto neo-fundamentalism, and some had become reactionary.

What is the viewpoint of reactionalist? Reactionary ism holds that the development of modern civilization is evil, causing innumerable suffering to the broad masses of the people, and that the new system that comes with it is also full of filth and filth, and that every pore is flowing with the blood of sin.

Therefore, if you want to make the world a better place, you must abandon the wisdom of the saints, abolish the development since the Boli Dynasty, and return to the ancient golden age, where the aristocracy has the appearance of the aristocracy, the commoners have the appearance of the commoners, and everyone lives in the primitive manor and reverts to the good old days of the idyll.

There were two other factions within reactionalism, one of which demanded a return to pastoral romanticism, also known as the pastoral faction, in which everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment on primitive handicrafts, and this faction was called the romantic faction, that is, the faction that sent letters of invitation to Lovecraft.

The other faction mainly criticizes the ugliness of the current society, moral degeneration, serious pollution, and cruel oppression, and writes a lot of reflections on the current situation of society, for example, Lovecraftt knows a great writer named Bazak who wrote "Siber's Comedy" and the like, so this faction is also called the realist faction.

In most cases, the two factions can be compared, because the solution offered by the realist faction after criticizing the current society is basically to return to the idyllic era, to restore the high old morality to replace the decaying and degenerate new morality.

But the reason for separating the two factions is that there are a small number of writers of the realist faction who are not conservatives, and they can easily turn to controllism and demand that the state intervene in social problems.

Negative realism is basically two sides of romanticism and can be classified as reactionary, while positive realism is one and two sides of control.

After entering the Louell Club, Lovecraft quite found some fellow travelers, and in the past, everyone attacked reality together, but it was also a pleasure, and the Louell Club also often held linkages with the negative realism of the brother unit, and what they said together was basically the pill for Siber to go on like this.

However, Sibo did not have a pill, on the contrary, it was better than a year after another, and as for the economic disasters that broke out every ten years, after so many rounds, the Sibo people were used to it.

Soon, a Romantic magazine published a second article by Lovecraft, which caused quite a stir again and earned Lovecrafts a lot of money.

The essay, called "My Childhood", is about Lovecraft's childhood, focusing on how he embarked on the path of romanticism, and it is also striking that it has the exoticism of the province of Gililla.

"My Childhood" begins with "I was born on a lifeless cloudy day", which is actually an artistic description, and Lovecraft doesn't know if he was born on a cloudy day, but in order to nest in the overall style of the article, he wrote it like this, and no one would be bored to look it up anyway.

However, in "My Childhood", although some places have been artistically processed, the general content is still true, what Lovecraft experienced.

In Lovecraft's childhood, the family conditions were not as bad as they are now, and the Drake family's forest farm was still in the opposite mountain, and Lovecraft's greatest joy as a child was to go to the forest farm with his friends, mainly Lubof, accompanied by servants.

Therefore, that forest farm is the embodiment of Lovecraft's childhood memories, and to this day, whenever Lovecraft's tired bed after a bath is over, he always recalls the aroma of the woods and the long and continuous birdsong.

In the name of the local serfs, Lovecraft is "kind-hearted", because when Lovecraftt is playing, he will occasionally see serfs who have entered the woods and tried to find food.

According to the law, the forest farm was the private property of the Drake family, and the serfs were not allowed to collect firewood or hunt in the forest without permission, and if they were caught in this way, even if Lovecraftt directly beat the serfs to death, the "Serf Rights Protection Committee" would not say a word.

However, Lovecraft was "kind-hearted", he knew that only when the serfs were really hungry and unbearable, or could not stand the cold, they would go into the forest farms and rivers to "steal" the private property of the nobles, so Love-Carft ignored the serfs' infringement of the rights and interests of the nobles, which made Love-Carft beaten and scolded several times.

You must know that there are not many opportunities to squeeze serfs nowadays, and serfs breaking into the forest farm is undoubtedly a good opportunity for legal squeezing, according to Lovecraft's father's roar, every time Lovecraft's father ignores a serf, he is throwing away his family's wealth to give alms to the poor, which should never be done.

And this forest farm, which carries Lovecraft's childhood memories, disappeared with the roaring sound of machines when Lovecraft's middle school was in middle school.

When he was in middle school, his family became more and more impoverished in order to maintain the dignity of the aristocracy, and all he could do was to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and the result was that the forest farm was finally pawned out.

Lovecraftt was still in school, and when he learned that the forest farm had been pawned out and had to hurry back, he saw the sound of machinery in the silent woodyard, and the shade that used to cover the sky in the summer was no longer seen as the old trees fell one after another, leaving only bare trees.

On the other side, there are demonic beasts living in the forest farm, their corpses are piled up in a mountain and stacked in a clearing on one side, and the frogs and birds can no longer be heard.

"Watching the quiet woods being replaced by noisy factories, and the sika deer strolling around were replaced by sweaty workers, at that moment, my childhood was truly over, and it turned into a breeze in the sky. ”

"My Childhood" brought Lovecraft greater fame and became a topic of discussion at the Louel Club, and many gentlemen took "My Childhood" and said bitterly: "The criminal factory system has made the green waters and green mountains no longer exist, and we must know that the factory can be built at any time and more and more, and when the green waters and green mountains are destroyed, there will be no more." ”

Later, Lovecraft also found his own position, and continued to write a lot of romantic articles, mostly nostalgic for the beautiful scenery of his childhood, such as forest paths, such as ponds, and then compared with the reality of being covered by factories and houses today, with the characteristics of the westward province of Giilla in the article, it can be regarded as having a place in Batyros.

If things had gone on like this, Lovecraft might have been an ordinary writer for the rest of his life, but his fate turned to a turning point when he met a nouveau riche who claimed to be from Falda.
