Novels written by very real, whether history, religion, arts and crafts, or peoples feelings. Although I dont know about a lot of history, the Muslim religious culture, I dont know much, but finish reading this book, just think, a lot of things seem so real in front, big to a funeral, small to a piece of jade.

Said the authors in the order of the hero and I live together. From morning till night and day and night. I joy and happiness for them, for their suffering and pain. I have to and I separated. When I send them one by one from the world, I was unbearable with life and death to leave." In the story, however, still want to leave, one after another, lined up and slowly to leave. Tragedy is inevitable.

The deepest impression is that tze-ki hon in London to send home to the letter. A letter, but also is simply a word - "we are still alive. You still alive?" Still alive... In such a turbulent years of the war, written letter is such, so greetings, my in the mind a burst of sad, a drop of tears to fall.

In the thick book, you can see two generations of beautiful love, see the love of the helpless and sad. Sometimes we are really in love with, but also because of love, would feel helpless, make something hurt others also hurt yourself.

【参考译文】

小说写的很真实,无论是历史,宗教,手工艺,还是人的感情。虽然有关很多历史我都不太清楚,穆斯林的宗教文化我也不甚了解,但是看完这书,就是觉得,很多东西好像就那么真真切切的放在面前,大到一个葬礼,小到一块玉。

作者在后序中说,“我和主人公一起生活。每天从早到晚,又夜以继日。我为他们的欢乐而欢乐,为他们的痛苦而痛苦。我已经舍不得和我的人物分开。当我把他们一个一个地送离人间的时候,我被生死离别折磨得痛彻肺腑。”然而故事中的人,还是要离开,一个又一个,排着队似的,不紧不慢地离开。悲剧故事都不可避免的如此。

印象最深的是,韩子奇身处英国伦敦时给家里寄去的那封信。说是一封信,却也只是简单的一句话——“我们还活着。你们还活着吗?”还活着吗……在那样一个战争动乱年间,信竟然是这样写的,如此的问候,我心里一阵凄凉,一滴眼泪往下落。

在这本厚重的书里,可以看到两代人的凄美爱情,看到爱情中的无奈和悲哀。有时候我们确实是爱着的,但也因为爱着,才会感到无奈,做出些伤到别人也伤到自己的事。

I was experiencing the feeling of paradox after reading the book. I felt my eyes wet when I read his stories, about how Mr. Jobs was able to overcome the challenges in life. These are challenges that I, you, and a lot of us will never encountered, but I understand how it must feel to be in the middle of the situations, and how it must feel being hopeless. This understanding has led me to the being moved by Steve Jobs’s bra一veness and persistence. The power of his dream had proved beyond anything, illness, unfairness and death. He continued to love his career even after being diagnosed cancer, and used his power and strengths to change the world by changing how all of us see it.

He was a nerd, a crazy man, a paranoid, but there was no evidence that would show him not being one of the greatest man in human history. Even though people found themselves tired working with Mr. Jobs (he was such a paranoid), they loved him, as he could bring the novelty to this world and make a difference. To the great man who changed the world with mac and ipod, to the hero of the electronic industry, to Steve Jobs, you will always be my hero.

导语:《红与黑》是法国作家司汤达创作的长篇小说,也是其代表作。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语读后感,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

作品讲述主人公于连是小业主的儿子,凭着聪明才智,在当地市长家当家庭教师时与市长夫人勾搭成奸,事情败露后逃离市长家,进了神学院。经神学院院长举荐,到巴黎给极端保王党中坚人物拉莫尔侯爵当私人秘书,很快得到侯爵的赏识和重用。与此同时,于连又与侯爵的女儿有了私情。最后在教会的策划下,市长夫人被逼写了一封告密信揭发他,使他的飞黄腾达毁于一旦。他在气愤之下,开枪击伤市长夫人,被判处死刑,上了断头台。

小说发表后,当时的社会流传“不读《红与黑》,就无法在政界混”的谚语,而该书则被许多国家列为禁书。《红与黑》在心理深度的挖掘上远远超出了同时代作家所能及的层次。它开创了后世“意识流小说”、“心理小说”的先河。后来者竞相仿效这种“司汤达文体”,使小说创作“向内转”,发展到重心理刻画、重情绪抒发的现代形态。人们因此称司汤达为"现代小说之父"。《红与黑》发表100多年来,被译成多种文字广为流传,并被多次改编为戏剧、电影。

篇5:老人与海英语读后感

全文共 9113 字

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .

Notre Dame DE Paris, tells the story of goodness, beauty lada fell in love with the beautiful love, handsome in appearance and inner ugly than, but I did not choose appearance ugly and inner good card seamus. If all the girls in their choice of the two boys, I think most of the girls would choose handsome than he. Although many say themselves in choosing a partner will pay more attention to inner beauty, beauty is not important. But I personally think this is wrong, why do you say so?

Because in real life, many people believe and desire for that kind of love at first sight of romantic love. If you dont have a beautiful appearance, only a good heart, how can someone to notice you. The love of beauty and the pursuit of beauty is human nature, so the pursuit of a handsome boy and beauty should not be to blame. His heart as long as they are willing to pay, deeply in love with each other, it is also called love, but I think, now that it is love, should be the correct view each others faults, inclusive each others shortcomings. After all gold no pure gold, no one is perfect.

Also, in real life there are a lot of people want to love America lada as persistent once fell in love with a person will persist, no matter this kind of love have the result. In fact, sometimes, perseverance is not a good thing, when you find the other side already did not love you, maybe give up is also a kind of beauty, it also give yourself a chance to pursue the real belong to your own happiness, if too persistent, in the end you might lose his at the same time, also pushed himself as the interests of an endless abyss of pain.

巴黎圣母院讲述了善良,美丽的爱斯美拉达爱上了外表帅气而内心丑陋的弗比斯,却没有选择外表丑陋而内心善良的卡西莫多。如果让所有的女生在他们两个男生中选择时,我想大多数女生会选择帅气的弗比斯。虽然很多人都说她们自己在选择另一半的时候会更注重内在美,外在美并不重要。但是我个人认为这种说法不妥,为什么这样说呢?

因为在现实生活中,很多人相信并且渴望那种一见钟情浪漫式的爱情。如果你没有稍微漂亮的外表,只有美好的心灵,怎么会有人去注意你。爱美和追求美是人的本性,所以追求帅哥和美女是不应该受到指责的。只要他们愿意付出自己的真心,深爱着彼此,那也叫爱情,但是我认为,既然是爱情,就应该正确的看待彼此的缺点,包容彼此的缺点。毕竟金无足赤,人无完人。

还有,在现实生活中有很多人想爱斯美拉达一样执着一旦爱上一个人就会坚持到底,不管这种爱情有没有结果。其实,有时候执着也并不是一件好事,当你发现对方已经不爱你时,也许放弃也是一种美,这也算给自己一个机会去追求真正属于自己的幸福,如果太执着,到最后或许你在失去他的同时,也把自己推如了利益个无尽的痛苦的深渊。

失败,在许多人的眼中是非常可怕的,它一旦猖狂起来,就能击溃人的斗志,让人彻底崩溃,失去生活的希望。如果失败战胜不了你,而是被你踩在脚下,那么,成功必定属于你。

著名作家海明威在《老人与海》中塑造的那位老人就是一个敢与失败作斗争的例子。

《老人与海》主要讲了一位名叫桑地亚哥的老渔翁一次特别的打鱼经过。在连续八十四天没有打到一条鱼后,但在第二天,他非常幸运地捕获到了一条巨大的大马林鱼。那条马林鱼是他平生捕到的最大的一条鱼,那条鱼比他的小船还要长2英尺呢!马林鱼的身体大,力气自然也大。它拖着老人和小船在海上漂流了两天两夜。老人在这两天两夜中经历(了)从来没有经历过的艰难考验。大马林鱼在大海上奋力挣扎,企图逃回大海。老人为了制服马林鱼,精疲力竭,皮开肉绽,但他并没有向大马林鱼屈服。他凭着顽强的意志,终于把大马林鱼扎死,拴在了船头。然而,幸运并没有出现,等待老人的是更大的考验。一群嗅着血腥味而来的大鲨鱼与已经皮开肉绽的老人展开了殊死博斗。最后老人的命虽然保住了,但鲨鱼们吃光了大马林鱼,老人拖回去的最终是一副光秃秃的骨架……

人生的道路是曲折坎坷的,遇到失败是再平常不过的事,我们应该时时刻刻拥有一颗坚强、不屈服的心来面对失败,成功就一定会向我们走来。

The success of Milton’s Paradise Lost owes much to the depiction of the main epicimage of Satan whose attributes enable him to achieve tragic status. Although Satan may be an epic machine, he is best portrayed as the tragic anti-hero of paradise Lost. The critics in the world have been concerning the image of Satan in Paradise Lost, whose complexity makes the poem more controversial.The reason why the image under Milton’s pen is so complex is that the Satan attracts the poet’s inner force, which drives him to change the people’s traditional ideas and cause resonance of all the revolutionaries.

Satan in the Bible is an image of devil. But in Paradise Lost, Satan challenges the authority of God and want to be free, he is a fighter for freedom. The poet portrayed Satan as a brave hero that went to get rid of god’s domination. In Paradise Lost, the Satan was the most successful image the author shaped.The allure of free will is where the attractiveness and power of Satan"s character lies. Stanley Fish in his essay, ‘The Harassed Reader in Paradise Lost, argues that Satan possesses a form of heroism which is easy to admire because it is visible and flamboyant and that, on that basis, Satan’s attractiveness is only initial. Milton was, undoubtedly, conscious that he was in danger of portraying Satan as too much of a heroic figure and made efforts to be little him through the use of unflattering imagery, and by highlighting his less complimentary characteristics.

Nonetheless, our emotions are still fired. Our first encounter with Satan and his rebel hosts occurs in Book I, when they are recovering from the shock of having been expelled from heaven by the Son after three days of fighting the angels of God. Despite the defeat he has suffered, Satan gains our admiration by displaying resilience in quickly coming to terms with the change in his circumstances, in remustering his forces and organizing the building of his palace, Pandemonium. At the same time he demonstrates his determination not to be defeated and shows true qualities of leadership, persuasively arguing that there is still hope for battle and victory. Satan is convincing in his first speech to Beelzebub, his chief partner in crime, as he declares: What though the field be lost? All is not lost; the unconquerable will, And study of revenge, immortal hate, And courage never to submit or yield: And what is else not to be overcome? That glory never shall his wrath or might Extort from me. Although Satan may be an epic machine, he is best portrayed as the tragic anti-hero of Paradise Lost or, at the very least, a main character who possesses the stature and attributes which enable him to achieve tragic status. In the Greek tradition, the essential components of tragedy are admiration, fear and pity for the ‘hero’, who has to display a tragic weakness or flaw in his character, which will lead to his downfall. It might be argued that the flaws in Satan’s character are such that we should feel no admiration, fear or pity for him, yet he can be seen to inspire these emotions. Satan’s tragic flaws are pointed out in Book I. They are envy, pride, and ambition towards self-glorification. Satan’s pride, in particular, is stressed throughout Paradise Lost.

The poet condemned God through Satan’s words. On the surface, God had given human free will; in fact, he had suppressed the true freedom.Obviously, the poet"s criticism and condemnation of God were out from the social reality of United Kingdom. The tyrant was the embodiment of Stuart. Milton laid his own political tendencies in the great Satan. He portrayed Satan"s resistance as the justice resistance to authoritarian rule and a bold challenge to the violent regime.

One of the most interesting questions about gullivers travels is whether the houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of swifts satire. in other words, in book iv,is swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the houyhnhnms act,we can see that in fact swift does not take them seriously:he uses them to show the dangers of pride.

First we have to see that swift does not even take gullver seriously. for instance,his name sounds much like gullible,which suggests that he will believe anything. also, when he first sees the yahoos and they throw excrement on him,he responds by doing the same in return until they run away.He says, “I must needs discover some more rational being,” even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. This is why swift refers to erasmus darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the beagle to show how gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain.But if lemule gulliver is satirized,so are the houyhnhnms,whose voices sound like the call of castrati.

They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people.As gulliver says, “it was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a vienese waltz.To my mind,they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court,even more dextrous than the lord edmund burke.”As this quote demonstrates,gulliver is terribly impressed,but his admiration for the houyhnhnms is short lived because they are so prideful.For instance,the leader of the houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of charles dickens,and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the kings and queens of england up to george ii.Swift subtly shows that this houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when,in the middle of the intellectual competition,he forgets the name of queen elizabeths husband.

Swifts satire of the houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well.One of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that guenivre has brought with him to the island. first she acts flirtatiously,parading around the bewildered horse.But when this does not have the desired effect,she gets another idea: “as I watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree,the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than mr.Pope being fitted by a clothier.She dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice.My horse sniffed the creature and turned away.”

It might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship,and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover.But it makes more sense if we see that swift is being satiric here:It is the female houyhnhnm who makes the move,which would not have happened in eighteenth century england. the houyhnhm is being prideful,and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress gullivers horse. gulliver imagines the horse saying,sblood,the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held mr.Pope on her back makes me queezy.

A final indication that the houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the houynhms visits lilliput,where he visits the french royal society.He goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at gallilee).

The scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success,when the houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: “the creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door.”

He has accomplished the scientists goal,but the scientist is not happy,for his livelihood has now been destroyed.Swifts clear implication is that even though the houyhnhmns are smart,they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society,only for their own prideful agrandizement.

Throughout gullivers travels,the houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong.Though their intent might have been good,they dont know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride.They mislead gulliver and they even mislead themselves.The satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born houyhnhm who,having just been born, exclaims,“with this sort of entrance,what must I expect from the rest of my life!”

第一次读《小王子》,是在小学的时候。两年后的今天,我重新回味了一遍,不禁流下了泪水……

我被小王子纯真而执着的爱所感动。这是一个童话,写给大人的童话,而大人们都忙于他们所谓的正经事,他们只会做这些事,而忘记了那颗埋在他们心底的纯真的心……

小王子因为一朵美丽而娇气的玫瑰,离开了B-612号小行星(他的家),后来他来到了325号小行星,这个星球上住着一个狂妄自大的国王;在326号小行星上住着一个爱慕虚荣的人;在327号小行星上住着一个自相矛盾的酒鬼;他又遇到了忙得不可开交的生意人,忠于职业的点灯人。小王子觉得这些大人很奇怪。

其实,在现实生活中,也存在着这些奇怪的人,对于我们来说,这些人在生活中很普遍。比如,父母,他们就像那个国王似的,经常命令我们,在我们听音乐到极致时,妈妈会命令我:“快去写作业,你还有心情听音乐!”每当这时,我便会非常不情愿地去写作业。大人往往会这样,他们想要我们成为一个在他们眼中出色的大人,便给我们定一个人生大计划,从来都没有想过我们的感受。也许大人都这样……

后来小王子遇到了小狐狸,并驯养了它。小狐狸告诉他,实质性的东西用眼睛是看不到的,也就是与小狐狸生活的这一段时光,他学会了爱,懂得了爱。

当小王子发现自己无法回去的时候,他想起了他的玫瑰,他望着自己的星星:“如果你爱上了一朵生长在一颗星星上的花,那么夜间,你看着就感到甜蜜愉快。所有的星星上都好像开着花。”

最后,小王子借助蛇的毒,摆脱了躯壳,回到了他的家,回到他的玫瑰的身边。

忠诚地对待自己所爱的,获得幸福是要付出代价的。

"Father and son" is a humorous cartoon. I have read the book three times.

When I first read the book, my mother heard the laughter coming from the study room. Indeed, the book is very interesting, and father and son often make jokes. For example, "sunset map": his father is a bald. One day, father read a newspaper on the sofa. The son called his companion, and showed him half the bald head of his sofa as a sunset, drawing on the sofa, and adding a picture frame. The father suddenly turned, and the setting sun had eyebrows, eyes, whiskers, ears. Father humor, simple, kind and playful, son smart, naive, cute and naughty, these two characters are very popular with everyone.

The second time I read this book, I felt the deep affection between father and son. One of the comic stories goes like this: the father and his son go to the seaside for a holiday. The son found a lot of pebbles on the beach and threw stones into the sea until he could not find any stones. Father saw, in the evening, pushing the car, over and over to the seaside to transport stones. The second day, the son found a pile of stones piled on the beach, very happy. My father was pleased to see it. I carefully observed fifth cartoons, found his father for his son to transport a pebble, sweat a lot. My father did everything for his son, and his son loved his father. He also made me cry.

When I read the book third times, I went abroad to combine the preface to know that E O Plauen created the father and son in the dark age when the Nazi fascist ruled germany. This warm, touching the cartoons was in the years of turmoil of creation, he is really a positive and optimistic person, is a person who is very loving son. He is a good painter concerned. He did not like some people in order to save life and property and surrender to the Nazis, he boldly created anti Nazi cartoons. But such a master of humour was mercilessly killed by the evil fascist. I think, while we praise the father and the son, we should praise their Creator, egypt. Austria. Rauen.

I read three times "father and son", and every time there was a new discovery. I hope I read every good book.

Published in 1847, Wuthering Heights was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when Wuthering Heights received a second printing with an introduction by Emilys sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the GREat novels of English literature.

Even so, Wuthering Heights continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and GREat loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

The novel is told in the form of an extended FLASHback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

Wuthering Heights is a bit difficult to "get into;" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.

It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. Even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once--and those who do like it will return to it again and again.
