百年孤獨英文版讀後感
or this month,I have been reading a famous book which is written by García Márquez,a famed Colombian writer who won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1982 because of his great and positive influence on the Latin American literature circle.This book is called 《One Hundred Years of Solitude》which is in the style of magic realism,a writing skill combines the reality and fantasy.This book is so precious and worth-reading that people put it at the same position as the 《Don Quixote de la Mancha》(堂吉柯德)and regard the two as the best Spanish books in the whole history.
In order to know what the book tells and expresses roudly,I firstly read the Chinese version and then to the English version.I feel myself sagacious for I have done this.And before I come to write some of my thoughts,I have to say that this book is so complex that almost everyone called the same names and you can’t predict accurately anyone’s future because he might dies or be insane,or even has a sex with his aunt or his bigger brother’s mistress and then have a baby who will also be called the same name as the baby‘s father all of a sudden.But as you go on reading,because of the fancinating ,compact structure and fancy writing skill,you will be addicted to imgining all the characters in your mind and chat with them and then gradually touch the deepest and softest part of their hearts to feel their eternal solitude.Surely you will feel sory to all of them and understand their crazy actions are all forced by the fearful solitude.
García Márquez makes up a town called Macondo and the protagonists——the Buendías,lives there for more than one hundred years.During this period,the Buendías goes from prosperity to decay and everyone dies with solitude.This family includes seven generations and everyone is willing to adventure and full of passion,but they don’t like having a heart-to-heart talk and they release pressure only through sex .It is said that this book shows the sruggle and loneliness of Latin America and the Macondo Town is actually a epitome of Latin America.For a long time,people in Latin America constantly started the civil wars and fought with their compatriots and many of them are fooled by ridiculious religion,so that these areas are still poor and underdeveloped and are like pathetic children abandoned by all other countries.This is a country’s and history’s solitude.So this book gains a lot of admiration and agreement from the people of Latin America.And weappreciate García Márquez for he gives us a way to know these people and strikes a chord with people from other underdeveloped country like us.
But actually for me,I can’t force myself to believe this book is a review or reminiscences of the 100-year history of Latin America.I prefer to regard it as an instructive and meaningful book which gives us guidance and warning to avoid being lonely and isolated.
When we probe into this book deeper and wonder why everyone lives so lamentably,we can see that it is not just because of the short of supplies or the lack of status and fame.If so,the book would not be praised but on the contrary it would be criticized to be superficial and nave.In fact, García Márquez points that the real solitude is from fate and death.It is just like everyone called Aurelian in the Buendías are always composed and calm but in the end will all become callous and indifferenced to all other things.People who fight with fate and want to live another lives ,but finally fail look like flying leaves in the windy sky,which can’t control where to stop but move froward by the force of wind.Then you will feel nobody really knows you and your life is setted long time ago by the fate and the only thing you can do is to beobedient to it and try to admit that you can’t do anything,even to change a little.Is is real loneliness.When you feel you are separated from the outside world and your world only has youself,even though you are given plenty of money and luxury,you will not be happy and think you are rich.The solitude from the bottom of your heart will last forever and nothing that comes from material world can influence it.
I have seen many good-educated men work as civil servants,at first they have a lot of goals and they are full of energy to finish their tasks and try to achieve their dreams.But when they realise that the society has its rules and it is just like a game,in which you might win if you stay for a long time in a field to be a qualificated old man.They can’t accept the fact that your future is not gained by the struggle and hard work but your ages and the mood of your superior.When people can’t see their future,it is just like the fate fools them,and they might be depressed and indulge themselves.When people don’t know the way of their life,they will be surrounded bt the solitude.I think it is why many civil servants think they live meaningless and want to quit
In the meanwhile I read carefully and try to find the solution to this kind of solitude. And the answer that García Márquez gives is hiding among the sentences.What I can only find is that the Buendías try to connect with outside world,they try to go through swamp but fail.And then the town doesn’t contact other towns anymore.I think this is the point that to not be lonely,you should learn and know more knowledge and news.Maybe this is a little bit difficult.In short,if you are knowledgeable and have the desire to learn more,you will not only get rid of solitude,but also gain respect and friendship.
If the Buendías continued to discover outside world,they would not be blind because of ignorant.So do we.
The real solitude is come from being fatuous.When you feel there is no more fun in the world and you can’t control yourself to be crazy to do ridiculous things,your will feel the solitude arising from the bottom of your heart. You are lack of the reverence for the world,so you look down upon everything and do things at your will.But you know,the more you appear to be dissolute,the more lonely you will feel for yourself.
So maybe we should be friend with books and magazines.Try to know more about the things you don’t know but you should know or want to know.Try another way of doing one same thing and compare this two’s advantages and disadvantages.Think more often and find the truth.To be a child to wonder why wind blows,why birds fly and why sun rises.Everyday in your life will be a new and interesting day even if you don’t have any fere.You will sleep and live with knowledge.In the meantime,when you have a husband or wife,the life can’t be more perfect!And if the nation contacts with others and does not close its windows through which it can see the whole world,it will never feel being lost by the world.On the contrary,it will hold its future tightly.
Do you want to get rid of solitude? García Márquez advises that you should be friend with knowledge.Why not try ?
