You and your "Human Comedy"

This is a letter without suspense.

I was thinking of going to the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris for the first time. At that time, I was not used to reading French names, and I probably missed the tombs of many great people. Tourists say they want to see you, Wilde, Chopin, or Bizet, but I just simply enjoy walking around the cemetery, watching the carvings and occasionally guessing at the Latin on the tombstones (pretend I understand), where there are always It's especially calm and cool - because of the shade.

The eulogy from Hugo says, "Among the greatest men, you are the first, and among the best, you are the highest." "From now on, he and the stars of the motherland are Together, shine above the clouds above us." However, I thought of something more disgusting, you are not just a star in the French sky, your creative spirit and richness of ideas are not out of date even today; your novels bring us to see the history of an era, And the social culture at that time, that is, the people of today must read your creations to understand that time and space background.

It's amazing that children of my generation have read more or less of the important novels in Comedy on Earth, even if it's not suitable for children. We can all pronounce your name - the surname that was changed to an aristocrat, the same as the protagonist in one of your creations - that was a very ironic existence at the time when the new capitalist class came to the fore. The descendants of peasant families in other provinces who got rich by doing business had to change to a noble surname.

Provincial and Parisian, this is a distinction you like to use in your creations.

You entered the University of Paris to study law at the age of seventeen, and you were still listening at the Faculty of Letters. When you graduated at the age of twenty, you decided to pursue literary creation as your ambition. Seeing people who abandoned the law and turned to literature always made me feel a kind of intimacy, Although I am still far from this road... You once lived in the attic of the Paris ghetto and wrote many low-quality creations, using a pseudonym and leaving no evidence, this is the lawyer's head turning faster, right?

It was you who did not pursue a legal career as your parents expected that you had the opportunity to experience the life of ordinary citizens, and also broadened the horizon of writing and observed the opposition between the bourgeoisie and the common people. At that time, you were thirty years old, and you have lived for ten years. You started the realist literary creation that we are familiar with. In the twenty years since you passed away, you have completed ninety-one works.

In this letter written today, the French habit is bound to use honorifics, but you are a writer stepping on the ground, without Voltaire's rich family fortune, that "Human Comedy" is also about human drama, It's a name made out of your will, seeing you as a creative person rather than a god, and deliberately not addressing you with honorifics.

Handwritten a letter. The "Letters to Writers" activity is coming to an end, so I will keep a low-key reminder.
