Chapter 5 writer biographies

writer biographies Recently, I have developed the habit of reading biographies. I have read Zola, Turgenev, Wilde, Stephenson, and two biographies of Goethe; One of the earliest Goethe biographies, one is the work of the new biographer Ludwig. The difference between new biography and classical biography is that the former collects some new materials, according to their own For the author's understanding, use a novel method to describe; the text is vivid, the narrative is lively, And it is easy to reverse the case and make people interesting to read.Classical biographies are inevitably dull in writing,

But the narration of the facts is extremely correct, not speculative, nor arbitrary, and relatively reliable in terms of materials. However, when new material sufficient to remedy doubts is discovered, this can only make the new school of biography perfect. Romain Rolland has written biographies of Dove, Miller, Michael Angelo, etc.; but his biographies Notation is somewhere in between.It is not so much a narrative of their lives as a The author's understanding of them.Famous new biographers in modern times, such as Moloya in France, wrote I have read the biographies of Byron, Shelley, and several British politicians. The materials are novel and the writing is relaxed.

It can be read as a novel.The famous contemporary biographer in Germany is Ludwig, who wrote the biography of Goethe and Wrote biographies of Napoleon, Bismarck and others.With the superb scholarship of the Germans, coupled with his Ludwig is unrivaled for his deep insights and dissection of the minds of the characters in his biographies. The Italian writer Barbini, who is famous for his "Biography of Christ", seems to be without him in his recent biography of Dante. as successful as past biographies.It's no wonder, because the more familiar characters are, the more difficult it is to write movingly.

Reading biographies of writers can not only increase the understanding of the writer and works, but also Learned many valuable lessons from it.Among the few biographies of writers I have read recently, only song De is a noble writer who is well-clothed and has always been smooth sailing, but he is uniquely blessed. In the history of literature, there is only one person with a wealth of genius and energy beyond the reach of ordinary people. Zola has always been working hard. He struggled for life in his early years, and fought for justice in his middle age until his death. Fighting, and even the funeral after death also caused conflicts between opponents and supporters.Wilde left after his death

A title of "aesthetic school", but the social oppression and poverty encountered during his lifetime, only It became clear after reading his biography.As for Turgenev, it can be seen only from his works that How depressed this giant of the times is mentally. The work is the child of the writer's life and talents.Poor education and poor life naturally produce It is an invariable theory that great works cannot be produced.
