Chapter 54 Notes to the Translator of "Words of Cannibals" [1]

Notes to the Translator of "Words of Cannibals" [1] Charles-Louis Philippe (Charles-Louis Philippe1874-1909) was the son of a wooden shoemaker. He finally received a little education and worked as a petty official in the Paris City Hall until his death.His literary life was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He loves to read works by Nietzsche, Tolstoy, and Dostovsky; on the wall of his house, there is a sentence written by Dostovsky: "People who get a lot of afflictions are because they have the power to withstand a lot of afflictions." But he explained it himself:

"This statement is actually not true. Although I know it is not true, it can be used as a comforting word." This is the end, which shows that his sexual behavior and thoughts are very clear. This article is translated from "Philip's Short Stories Collection" by Horiguchi University in Japan [2], and it is his later mature work.But what I used was the profound allegory in the article. As for the teaching at the beginning and the end, it probably comes from the author's Gatliism[3] thinking, and I don't think it is true. September 20, 1928. ※ ※ ※ [1] This article, together with the translation of "Words of Cannibals", was originally published in the October 1928 issue of Volume 1, Issue 2 of the monthly "Popular Literature and Art".Later, it was included in "The Strange Sword and Others", one of the "Short Stories Collection of Modern World" together with the author's other novel "Lion Hunting".This article is attached before the novel, and the last paragraph is changed to: "Both "Lion Hunting" and "Words of Cannibals" are translated from "Philip's Short Stories Collection" by Horiguchi University in Japan."
