Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

Count Henrietta wrote a lot, liberating his accumulated depression for more than ten years in one breath. The article is full of condemnation of certain concepts of traditional novelists and his understanding of literature.

He may have been waiting for this day for a long time. He likes literature very much. He has been moved by poetry, and he has also liked the sentimental prose. The most inextricable type of literature is novels, which accompany him through college. Countless days and nights. With the improvement of his literary accomplishment, one day, he suddenly found that the novels that had made him addicted had become boring, and began to reduce the amount of novel reading, and joined the literary association to find reasons.

The more novels he came into contact with, the more he gradually understood the reasons. Norton’s literature was too monotonous, focused too much on criticizing sociality, expressing disdain for power and wealth, exposing the ugliness of human nature to cause thinking, and so on.

This is not a bad thing at first, but it seems too boring in this ever-changing new era. It seems that there is an invisible circle set in literature, and it is difficult for works to get out of this vicious circle. "The Count of Monte Cristo" is a work that breaks this vicious circle. It is very contradictory. At first glance, the story looks similar to traditional literary works. However, its plot story is full of the author's understanding of human nature, without over-explaining anything, and adding some readers. The longing element.

A revenge drama? Count Henrietta read out the taste of fairy tales again, which were nothing but adult fairy tales that could stand scrutiny and thought.

That's why the "Count of Monte Cristo" gave Count Henrietta an unprecedented sense of surprise.

Now it is the "Dark Age" that prompted Count Henrietta to write this special report, which is the same novel that surprised him and could enjoy reading it all night.

The publishing house founded by Harvey's reviewer Pulan has a cooperative relationship with the publishing house he runs. "Dark Age" sent him a sample of the novel for review before it was published. Count Henrietta was pleased when he got the novel. It broke, and I decided to find time to finish reading this novel.

The content of the novel did not disappoint him, and even made him enjoy it even more than "Count of Monte Cristo".

"Dark Age" fictionalizes a magical and weird world, creating a magnificent background, a duel of darkness and light. There are heroes and epics, as well as treacherous villains, or ordinary people who are struggling to survive in this era, as if they are going straight to the ancient The events of the times are presented to the readers in words.

Compared with the touch of "The Count of Monte Cristo", "The Dark Age" shocked him even more!

The first part of 500,000 words describes the grievances between the two countries and the choices of the two countries when facing the invasion of foreign enemies. The Dark Lord led the invasion of foreign beasts, and the foreign beasts set up primitive trebuchets. Destroying the city wall, the huge primitive beast rushed into the city gate, and the human soldiers resisted hard.

In this context, the relationship between the country and the country, personal and personal grievances have become intricate, the plot lines are criss-crossed with dark lines, each plot is closely related to the characters, and the writing is very clear, and it will not make the readers get into the clouds. Here, and at the same time because of the urgent timeline constructed by the war, the whole story gave Count Henrietta a breathless sense of suffocation, as if he himself was standing in front of an army of millions, nervously watching the cavalry charge.

Count Henrietta felt very incredible, if it weren't for the heavy work of the Phantom, he would have to study "Dark Age" inside and out.

To say that there is any dissatisfaction is that the plot of the novel is cut off at a critical time, and a respected spellcaster is preparing to go to another country to help the king resist the army of alien beasts. Count Henrietta looked forward to the next development of the plot. He was afraid that he could not help but read the outline of the novel, so he sent the novel and outline to his scholar friend Scott for his appreciation. The reply he got was that the novel was far better than him. The evaluation is even higher.

He felt relieved, and then burned the outline of the novel "Dark Age" directly, for fear that he could not help reading it in advance.

In addition, Scottrade's reply to him was accompanied by a "kind" greeting, and it was the first time that Count Henrietta saw his friend "praise" someone so fiercely.

El Roy city, early morning.

It’s been a whole day since "Dark Age" was sold in the bookstore. Not only did the queues standing outside the street line up to another street, many people in the line came with stools and prepared the stove to keep warm. There are all kinds of carriages parked on both sides, most of which are not local carriages in Elroy.

After the news of Harvey's new novel was released, people from other cities rushed over by train to buy it. There were more and more people in line.

The two security teams maintained order at the scene. Yesterday, there were frequent conflicts because of the jump in the line. Many of the people in the queue were servants of the nobles. Once something really happened, the security team would bear the blame.

Before the bookstore opened, several children across the street were holding up a small pile of hardcover novels and shouting: "Gentlemen, do you want to buy books? Harvey Adrian’s new novels, you don’t need to line up, you can buy them here. Now, the number is not very large."

The bookstore stipulates that each customer can only buy two copies at most. Yesterday, many civilian children lined up to buy novels and then resell them to make a fortune. Each copy can be sold for three or four times the high price. The bookstore has ample supply, but the facade is too small to allow only a fixed number of guests to enter and exit at a time. Some of the customers who are not bad are naturally more willing to spend money to buy books from children.

A carriage that was watching the line slowly stopped around the children. The children looked at each other with joy and shouted, "Sir, do you want to buy novels?"

"Crack~"

The carriage door opened, and a bald man came down. The child was taken aback when he saw his appearance, his smile stiffened, and he stammered and asked, "Mr. Cook, why are you here."

The bald man named Cook leaned on a cane and looked down at them with a dark face: "If you have time to queue up to resell books, don't you have to work? Tell me, have you been approved for your presence here?"

There is no concept of child labor in this era. It is not easy for ordinary children to survive. Most ordinary families who cannot afford their children to school will choose to send their children to work in factories to make money.

"Mr···"

"Sir, you know that reselling books here can earn more than ten times the daily salary of a part-time job." A child yelled outrightly.

Cook's face was even more gloomy. When he was about to start a trouble, he saw someone walking towards this side. He looked at the books that the child was holding. He hurriedly waved his hand: "You bastard, go back. I bought these books. I will settle the payment on your salary tomorrow."

The children glanced at each other and understood their eyes~www.readwn.com~ Just buying this book cost them several weeks of wages, so they rushed to hand the book to this stingy boss for estimation. The next day, he will find an excuse to buckle up, and the headed child will make a grimace at him: "Huh, we won't sell it to you."

Cook's eyes glared and said: "Do you still want to work!"

The children looked at each other and said in unison: "Oh, of course I don't want to. Before we sneaked out, we thought about not working with you."

The money earned by reselling books is higher than their monthly salary, and they can also use this to find a better job.

"Asshole!" Cook Yang was about to fight, but there were already guests who came to the kid to select novels. He itched his teeth with hatred, and glanced at the long line across from him, hurriedly took out a gold Barron coin from his pocket: "take it!"

The child kindly reminded: "Sir, the money is only enough for you to buy one copy."

"You..." Cook was depressed and wanted to vomit blood, but he had no choice but to pay for several books. The novel was new and difficult to buy. It was very suitable as a social gift. After a period of time, the value of the gift of the novel will be much lower. If you hire someone to line up The cost is even greater. He waited here because he heard someone reselling books.
