Chapter 151 george gissing's story

george gissing's story Many years ago, this was still a thing in Shanghai. I once bought a short film by George Gissing. This collection of short stories was newly published by a bookstore in England at that time. Gissing had published many novels during his lifetime, all of which were his subsistence works. Neither aspect has given him anything worth mentioning, but real barely can make him "live". That's all.As time passed, few people read these novels, and even the titles of the books were forgotten.in old age A collection of sketches and essays that he wrote casually won him a small number of confidant readers.these readers give

His collection of sketches has a high status in modern British literature, which makes George Gissing famous. The characters are remembered by modern literature lovers, and even gained a reputation abroad. This collection of sketches is the "Miscellaneous Notes of the Caotang" first introduced by Mr. Yu Dafu. It was translated as "The Private Notes of the Yue Family" because the original name was "Henry? Yue Crowford's Private Notes".this book Although some people have chosen to translate some of them and published them in journals, they have never been published in separate volumes.listen

It is said that during the Anti-Japanese War, a translation was published in the Mainland, which was printed on earthen paper and was not widely circulated, so Not many people have seen it.In recent years, Taiwan has published a translation titled "Four Seasons Essays", the translator is Pinmei.Some people say that this is a reprint of the translation that was published before.Because I have never seen the former I don't know if that translation is accurate. As for his short stories, almost no one has mentioned them, and few people must have read them. The aforementioned collection of short stories was, of course, published after his death, and by a fan of his works.

Some people, collected sporadically from newspapers and magazines into books.Gissin has been selling literature for a living all his life, and he has paid regular In addition to writing long monographs, I also write short stories to submit to journals, the purpose is just to get the manuscript fee, What happens to the criticism after publication, or even whether there are readers, is probably not what he cares about. Those short stories of his are actually just telling a story, they are all short stories of life. A bit like the style of the later American O. Henry, not very attractive, and I don't see any talent.

Obviously not a first-rate short story, compared with the works of Maupassant, Chekhov, Merimee, etc. Come on, of course the difference is very far. After a long time, I have long forgotten what stories these short stories are about, and I only remember that some of them are There is a story about a writer who submitted many novels to a certain publication, all of which were rejected by the editor. After returning, he accidentally sent an article written by his wife under his own name to try it out. I thought it was even worse, but unexpectedly received special praise from the editor. In addition to publishing it immediately, I also wrote a letter to

Ask him to send a few more.The writer was naturally very happy at first, but after a long time, he became jealous of his wife, and finally At the end of the war, I no longer write with a pen. Jixin's married life is very unsatisfactory, and this short story can be said to be his feelings here. A kind of reaction.
