Balzac, a passionate genius

Balzac conceived to write 143 long articles and put all his works into a general plan to form a whole, which is called Human Comedy.

before Balzac, no French writer had such great boldness of vision and dared to put forward the great task of "completing a work describing France in the 19th century", and no writer had such talent that he could combine hundreds of novels to form an all-encompassing social genre painting, which described a whole era.

due to his early death, Balzac finally wrote only 96 books. Like his idol, although his career was unfinished, they all boarded the altar. Napoleon ascended the throne and Balzac was regarded as the father of modern French novels.

Unlike his idol, Balzac met with waterloo as soon as he entered the literary battlefield.

After studying law in college, he refused to be asked by his family to work as a notary office, but he was interested in making a career in literature. Father finally agreed to give him a year to try. Balzac shut himself up in his apartment and wrote his first poetic drama Cromwell.

My parents showed it to an academician of the French Academy, and received a comment: "This author can do whatever he wants, except literature."

In the next ten years, Balzac did not engage in literature. He engaged in various industries, publishing industry, printing factory and lettering factory, and all ended up in debt.

Seeing that the businessmen in Balzac's novels are clever in their ups and downs really makes people think that the author is familiar with the way of doing business. Perhaps his lack is not talent, but his personality is the obstacle to his commercial success. He has also made some money successfully, but his ability to spend money is always better than his ability to earn money. He pursues a grandiose life and is extravagant. Before Jiangshan was shot down, the harem was filled up first.

He emptied the pockets of his poor mother and sister who loved him, and accepted money from his mistresses. Balzac never felt the slightest guilt about spending money on his family and women. Let's just say that genius has its own rights.

However, all Balzac's readers should be glad that he has not become a successful businessman, otherwise we will lose a great writer. It is these failed experiences that not only push him to another road, but also become the cornerstone of his other road forward.

Balzac, who has repeatedly failed in business, picked up his pen again and hid in the room to bury himself in writing. During the whole creative period, he has been being chased for debts, and being chased for debts has also become the driving force for whipping him to create hard. When his fame rose in the later period, he was often entangled in lawsuits because he sold his manuscript to the publishers with high bids.

work 14-16 hours a day, sometimes even up to 18 hours. In order to refresh himself, he poured cups of black coffee into his stomach and invented a method of making coffee with cold water in order to achieve better refreshing effect.

It is not only black coffee that supports his exuberant creativity, but also the passion that emerges in his creation. Balzac gave his passion to his characters, whose passion in turn stimulated the author's enthusiasm.

He spared no effort to write thousands of words to describe a person's image, a character's personality, a house and a business, and every word was steaming. It seems that he is happy to describe the details and enjoy the fun. If you don't enjoy it while making it, you can't understand how he sacrificed almost all worldly pleasures and worked like a giant with passion.

Balzac seems to have considerable trust in petrography. When describing the appearance characteristics of characters, he writes down the corresponding personality characteristics. Balzac boasts that he can see everyone's occupation in the street, just by looking at his face, his movements and his clothes.

In fact, not all the descriptions he is interested in are what readers want to know and are interested in, but he never slackens his efforts and tries his best to write out all the industry information he has.

Balzac was fascinated by his creative world like a paranoid, arguing with the characters in the book, and when he was dying, he shouted, "Call Pianxun! Pi Anxun will save me! " (Pianxun is a famous doctor in the novel)

Balzac is also full of passion in his life, and he has developed several relationships during the day and night. His first love was a married woman about his mother's age. Except for this relationship, all his other feelings were during his writing career, either married or widowed. I have to say that genius always has its own rights.

The French are very tolerant of love, and infidelity in marriage is not a problem at all, and it is not uncommon for the young and the old to fall in love with each other. Even now, the legacy still exists. Now French President Macron and his wife are examples. Macron can be president in France, but if he is in China, he can't even be a village head.

Mrs. Hanska, who lived with Balzac for seven years, finally agreed to marry him, but a few months later, Balzac died. His talent and passion are not exhausted, but his body is exhausted.

He knows all kinds of battles, all kinds of lawsuits, the tricks of the exchange, the manipulation of the banking industry, all kinds of speculation in real estate, the mysteries of chemistry, the manufacturing tips of cosmetics, the technology of printing industry, the innovation of paper industry, the art of painting, the collection of antiques, the discussion of theologians, the mystery of hypnosis, the shady of journalists, the management of publishing industry, the fraud of theaters and the political deception. He knows how to calculate inheritance, annuity and interest, he knows the rent of houses in every street in Paris, he knows what kind of carriage is the most fashionable, and how much a hat with a lace costs. If he doesn't want the old man Gao to die, he is capable of giving him a prescription to revive him.

Therefore, Dana, who is known as "Napoleon in the eyes of critics", commented that "Balzac's works are the most magnificent document repository of human beings after Shakespeare, and the encyclopedia of human inner world."

Mao Mu said, "Great novelists have enriched the spiritual treasure house of the world with their own works, and among these people, Balzac is the only one who I will crown as a genius without hesitation."

Balzac, like his characters, has the ambition to make the world yield. He longs for not a marshal's scepter in literature, but the crown of the emperor.

When a genius is passionate, nothing can stop him from reaching the great altar.

Let's look at the footprints of a genius walking towards the altar.

The reason why this work is promoted as the best work is that it is reflected in the content and cuts to the point. The other is reflected in the writing ability, concise and powerful.

"Friend, since you can control your wishes, go your ordinary way. I went to hell, and I have to stay in hell, no matter how bad people say the upper class, you believe it! No satirist can write all the sins hidden under gold, silver and jewels. "

"Gao Laotou" did its best, if not all.

The old man Gao used to be a cunning and shrewd businessman, and lived a life of abundant food and satiety. However, he was finally stripped to pieces by his family. After his death, even the money for his burial was borrowed by Rasty, a college student, and his two daughters who married into a rich family did not even attend the funeral. Family ties are vulnerable to fame and vanity.

Rasty Nie is a college student who yearns for the upper class. His desire is aroused. He has to dress himself up with the expense of the upper class. He squeezed the last franc from his mother, aunt and sisters and began to learn the way of dealing with others in the upper class. If Fu Tuoleng was not arrested prematurely, it is hard to say that he could get rid of the trap of cheating money. Innocence is vulnerable to desire.

Madame de Boucylon knows the laws of the upper class. She was very confident and thought she could control them, but this hypocritical society has always been dominated by interests, and she was finally abandoned and disheartened. Love is vulnerable to money and power.

Only people like Fu Tuoleng can fight back against this society. They understand social laws and understand human weaknesses. They are fierce as an eagle, dormant as a snake, cunning as a fox, greedy as a wolf and bold as a tiger, and only ask for the purpose without asking for the means.

Fu Tuoleng, a dark figure with a chill in his back, can actually make readers feel admiration for him, and even secretly feel sorry for him, expecting him to do something to retaliate against the society and punish it. This is enough to show Balzac's success. He wrote the dark side of society profoundly and aroused people's curse on society.

The genius embodied in writing ability is manifested in characterization, story narration, structure and so on.

The characterization of characters is very accurate, which fits the identity of the characters from image, language, behavior and psychology. It is the best proof that Gao Laotou, Rasty Nie and Fu Tuoleng have become literary classics.

gather people with different identities in the Fugai apartment for centralized display, and gather at a table every day at dinner * * * just like the characters on the stage and tell their own stories. Create a space to display all the characters in a concentrated way, which embodies conciseness. This is very instructive, if not the first. Nabokov's dining apartment in Mary is based on this.

Different narrative clues are naturally intertwined, and there is no trace of switching when narrating different clues, which benefits from the space setting of Fugai apartment, and also reflects the precision of novel structure and superb narrative skills.

Compared with Balzac's other novels, The Old Man Gao tells more stories in a relatively short space, without any redundancy, which is his most concise work.

This work depicts an extreme miser. According to the description in the book, I think there are people who are more stingy than him in real life, at least he still banquets at home.

The miserliness of the poor is understood. Old Grandet's miserliness is mainly reflected in his refusal to spend money. His miserliness is the miserliness of thoughts. Money is transformed into another object in his heart. Only gold coins in his hand can fill his inner lack and become a sustenance of his psychological security.

Balzac has captured this kind of strange psychological evidence, and the description of such a character needs the observation of a genius. Balzac has this talent, successfully shaping the classic image of a miser and making him synonymous, which is the main contribution of this novel.

Old Grandet is a miser and regards money as the most important thing. Eugénie Grandet, the daughter, is generous, treating feelings as the most precious thing. Give everything for my first cousin. Later abandoned by love, she also spread money to do good. Daughter is like a satire on father.

Supposedly, like father, like daughter, such a pair of diametrically opposite father and daughter are incomprehensible, and the novel does not provide any explanation. However, one of the charms of literature is that it can be interpreted in various ways.

I think it can be said that Eugénie inherited her mother's personality and was more influenced by her mother's education. Later, the power of love became a very powerful force to control her behavior. Apart from father and daughter, other characters are not attractive.

Balzac's pursuit of Marquise Castelli was unsuccessful, so he portrayed her in his novel as the role of Mrs. Te Baridong, a slut who abandoned the chaos at first, in order to vent his anger.

The trilogy mainly describes the ups and downs of Lv Xian's life. He is a young poet who is full of fantasies. He was brought to Paris by his mistress, Mrs. Te Baridong, to start a career. His beautiful fantasies about the future were cruelly shattered when he first arrived in Paris, and he was abandoned by Mrs. Te Baridong.

Lv Xian, a poor and down-and-out man, wanted to win the world with a pen, but he was unwilling to go through a long and arduous journey in literature. He chose to take a shortcut to success and become a journalist and a thug and drummer in manipulated words. His talent won him fame and fortune. He lived a luxurious life and indulged in a gentle village. At last, his talent ran out, his money ran out, and his career and love went bankrupt under the pressure of the same industry.

Lv Xian returned to his hometown like Reservoir Dogs, and his kind relatives forgave him for his absurdity and shallowness, but at the instigation of his ulterior motives, he showed his arrogant face like a son of heaven. In the end, a flash in the pan became the object of being fooled, and his kindness became a disaster for his family. Lv Xian was going to commit suicide by jumping into the river. He met a priest, a priest who bought souls, and Lv Xian sold his soul to him.

The ups and downs of Lv Xian's life, like a mirror, reflect the features of different industries, classes and people in society and present a kaleidoscope of dreams.

Several dialogues in the novel are particularly thought-provoking and give readers an intellectual gain.

First, before Lv Xian left for Paris, David analyzed Lv Xian's personality and fate to Eve, and David's foresight was confirmed afterwards. This shows that it is an irrefutable truth that personality determines fate.

Secondly, Danielle in the literary group analyzed what kind of road literature is for Lv Xian, and what it takes to achieve success. It can be said that it is hard, and it is also a good medicine for literary lovers today.

Thirdly, before leading Lv Xian into the journalist industry, Rosdo analyzed all kinds of shady stories in this industry, and the tactics of turning hands into clouds and covering hands for rain were amazing.

Fourthly, the priest who bought Lv Xian's soul talked about his views on society and law, which will help people understand what is meant by the end interpretation after a lifetime of struggle in the social mire. Even if it is an evil idea, if it can't be refuted, then it can't be denied that it is correct.

Honore Lina is a pure love novel. Honore Lina is a woman who resolutely defends her inner freedom in love. The freedom she pursues can be said to be ignored by almost all other women. Even if thousands of family assets are tender and tender, she can't be bought off. It is she who abides by the preciousness of her heart, and her emotions are extraordinary, and a blue lotus blooms in her heart. Unfortunately, in the end, the fragrance disappeared.

the woman who stirred the water is a script suitable for making a series. There are evil and kindness, greed and generosity, ignorance and cunning, betrayal and buying, affection and love, struggle for production and love, assassination and duel. The most enjoyable thing to see is not the fight between the good guys and the bad guys, but the fight between the bad guys and the bad guys. He has the talent of a general but plays the tricks of hooligans. He is a duel warrior and a slave of money. Seeing him rise from a tall building and see his building collapse.

Colonel Xia Bei and Forbidden Production both involve the struggle for property, the confrontation between just gentlemen and greedy villains, and the contest between evil and good. These two films are relatively short in length and concentrated in narrative, from which we can get a glimpse of Balzac's writing style.

The Abbot of Toure and Uncle Bunce have created the images of several poor people. Although they are all very old, they still know the world like children. In a materialistic society, people kill them for fish. Although we don't want to admit it, human society has always been applied to plexus.
