French writer jules verne is a world-famous science fiction writer. His works are not only full of bizarre and profound imagination and touching artistic images, but also show a high degree of science. Two Wan Li under the Sea is one of the representative works.
1866, a monster thought to be a narwhal was found at sea. French biologist Pierre Aronnax was invited to join the hunt. During the chase, Pierre Aronnax, his servant Conseil and the whaling harpooner Ned Land discovered that this monster was not a narwhal, but a submarine with wonderful structure.
Nemo, the captain of the submarine, is a mysterious figure with unknown nationality, claiming to "sever relations with all mankind". He is tall, confident and firm. Nemo invited Pierre Aronnax to visit this amazing modern industrial masterpiece-Nautilus; It uses waves to generate electricity and provide heat, light and electricity for ships; Everything it needs is taken from the ocean. It was secretly built by Nemo on a desert island in the middle of the ocean.
Pierre Aronnax and his companions set off from the Pacific Ocean on the Nautilus, and began a voyage of underwater exploration. Through the submarine's glass window, the ocean presents them with all kinds of strange sights: all kinds of marine benthos, all kinds of fish flying in the air like birds, and all kinds of arthropods and mollusks everywhere ... which makes people dizzying. They observe and study. Through Crispo Island, the submarine stopped at the bottom of the sea. They put on diving suits, walked on the submarine plains and hunted in underwater forests with special rifles. The book describes the wonderful world under the sea, which is amazing:
This is really a wonderful and rare undersea forest. It is full of tall woody plants, and the branches of small trees extend straight to the sunny side. No skill, no context, like a hard core. Corals with bright flowers are growing everywhere in all kinds of shrubs as high as temperate forests. How beautiful!
Later, the submarine experienced dangers such as grounding and indigenous siege, and sailed safely to the Indian Ocean. Then something strange happened. What Captain Nemo saw from the sea suddenly filled with anger and hatred. He rudely locked Pierre Aronnax and his companions in a small room and forced them to sleep. The next day, Pierre Aronnax woke up and Captain Nemo asked him to treat a seriously injured crew member. The crew are all dead. Captain Nemo sadly led the funeral procession and buried the dead in the dazzling coral forest on the seabed. He said: here, coral will seal the dead forever and will not be bullied by sharks and people!
Ceylon Island at the southern tip of the Indian Peninsula is just around the corner. Pierre Aronnax accepted Captain Nemo's suggestion and headed for the underwater pearl mining field. Suddenly, a huge shark pounced on the pearl picker. Captain Nemo stood up to fight the shark with a short knife in his hand. When Captain Nemo was overwhelmed by the shark's huge body and was in danger, Ned Land quickly threw a sharp fork and hit the shark's heart. The captain saved the poor pearl picker and took a packet of pearls from his pocket and gave it to him. From this, Pierre Aronnax thinks that Nemo has two points worthy of attention: first, he is extremely brave, and second, his spirit of sacrifice for mankind. It seems that this eccentric man has not completely broken the absolute human love.
From the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, if you take the Cape of Good Hope, you need to go around Africa. But Captain Nemo sneaked along an Arabian submarine passage he discovered, and in less than twenty minutes he crossed the Isthmus of Suez and reached the Mediterranean Sea. The book says:
Nautilus is running along the dark and deep undersea tunnel. With the inclination of the tunnel, the submarine descended with the rapids like an arrow. On the narrow high walls on both sides of the tunnel, I saw brilliant lines drawn by the speed of lightning, straight into strips. Let us be heartbroken.
The submarine is heading for Condi Island. At this time, another strange thing happened: as a diver appeared in front of the submarine window in the morning, Captain Nemo took out millions of gold from the cupboard, wrote down the address and sent someone to carry it away in a boat. Where did all this gold go? Pierre Aronnax felt that the mysterious Nemo still had some connection with this land.
The submarine crossed the boiling water in the volcanic area of Sandelin Island, came out of the Strait of Gibraltar, sailed to the Atlantic Ocean and stopped at the bottom of Victoria Bay. This is the battlefield of naval battle in 1702. At that time, the ship carrying gold and silver to the Spanish government sank here, and the seabed was covered with gold and silver jewelry. Nemo sent his crew to load millions of gold and silver into the submarine. Pierre Aronnax regrets that a lot of wealth cannot be distributed to the poor. The captain replied excitedly, "Did I salvage these belongings for myself?" Do you think I don't know that there are countless suffering people, oppressed races and victims who want revenge? "Pierre Aronnax this just understand captain nemo when passing through Connecticut sent millions of gold coins is for the sake of who.
At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, Pierre Aronnax and Captain Nemo made a novel trip. They climbed a peak on the sunken continent in the Atlantic Ocean and watched the wonders of the volcano spewing sulfur and flint. Overlooking a ruined city at the foot of the mountain-the whole submerged city of Pompeii. This book describes the legendary ancient underwater city:
In the distance is a volcano. Below the peak, between ordinary stones and dregs, a huge fire spout spewed a torrent of sulfur flint, and a waterfall that flew into fire sank into the sea, shining on the plain under the sea floor until the farthest end. At present, I am a destroyed city, with collapsed houses, broken and scattered arches and fallen stone pillars. A little further away, it is the ruins of some small projects. Farther away, a series of collapsed city walls, an uninhabited continent in vast expanse, the whole underwater city of Pompeii was revived and appeared before my eyes.
Then, Nautilus boldly sailed to the South Pole, and the submarine sailed among the whales. Ned Land asked to chase whales. Minister Nemo did not agree to harm these kind and harmless fin whales. When a cruel whale attacked a fin whale at sea, Captain Nemo decided to rescue it. The nautilus used its steel horn to go straight through the whale. After a fierce battle, the sea was full of dead whales. After crossing the Antarctic, the submarine experienced dangers such as iceberg road closure and octopus attack. It was Captain Nemo who led the crew to overcome the difficulties with amazing calmness and perseverance.
Finally, the submarine sailed through the warm Atlantic current known as the king of storms and came to a place where a French patriotic warship sank. Nemo told the history of warship revenge with passion. This attracted the attention of Pierre Aronnax. It is not ordinary cynicism, but very noble hatred to lock Captain Nemo and his companions in the hull of the Nautilus. Didn't it attack some ships in the Indian Ocean that night? Isn't the man buried in the coral cemetery the victim of the conflict caused by Nautilus? And on all the seas, people are also chasing this terrible destructive machine!
When the nautilus slowly returned to the surface, it exploded: a warship was attacking the nautilus. Captain Nemo is determined to sink it. Pierre Aronnax tried to dissuade him, but the captain said, "I am oppressed. Look, that's the oppressor! Because of him, everything I love and respect, everything I love and respect, my motherland, parents, lovers and children are all dead! Everything I hate is there! " The captain didn't want the wreckage of this warship to be mixed with the glorious wreckage of Revenge, so he led the warship to the east. The next day, the terrible blow began! Nautilus deliberately let the enemy approach, and then under the powerful impetus of the propeller, it aimed at the weak part below the buoy line of the warship at that powerful angle of attack and crossed over! In an instant, the warship hull cracked, then exploded and sank quickly. Its mast is full of victims. Then, the dark giant sank into the water, and with it, all the bodies were swept away by the powerful vortex. ...
Pierre Aronnax witnessed this tragic scene and was extremely disgusted with Captain Nemo: "Although he may have suffered a lot in other ways, he has no right to take such cruel revenge." Pierre Aronnax heard Captain Nemo's last words on the ship: "Almighty God! Enough! Enough! "
In the dangerous waters off the Norwegian coast, Pierre Aronnax, Ned Land and Conseil left the Nautilus by boat, ending this round-the-world trip across the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Antarctic Ocean. Pierre Aronnax hopes: "If Captain Nemo lives in the ocean of his choice forever, I hope all hatred will fade in this stubborn heart! ..... I hope that this talented scholar will continue to do peaceful exploration! "
The plot in this novel is bizarre and vividly depicts the underwater world full of mystery. Language is lively and interesting, which is both an artistic language and a scientific language. The explanation of all kinds of underwater things is vivid.

Author: romain rolland (French), translated by Fu Lei (China)
Biography of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy written by French writer romain rolland. The three authors of this book are all extremely talented great men in human history. Their lives are rich and colorful, and their works are profound and profound, which have influenced generations. Romain rolland firmly grasped the similarities of these three artists in their respective fields, and, without changing their original intentions, made great efforts to depict their mental journey through hardships, highlighting their lofty personality, fraternity and broad mind, and wrote a "heroic symphony" for us.
Romain rolland (1866- 1944) is a French writer in the 20th century, a Nobel Prize in Literature winner in 19 15, and a world-famous pacifist. His mother is a devout religious believer and loves music very much, which has a far-reaching impact on Roland's love of music and his reverence for Beethoven in the future. 1880, the Roland family moved to Paris from Clancy, a city in central France. From 65438 to 0886, he was admitted to the prestigious Paris Normal School, during which he read a lot of literary and historical works. Roland holds lofty social ideals and enthusiasm, but the reality around him makes him depressed and confused, so he gave it to the great Russian writer Lev? Tolstoy wrote letters seeking answers to life. Tolstoy enthusiastically wrote a reply of 20 to 30 pages, answered various questions in detail, and pointed out in a highly concise way: "Everything that unites people is good and beautiful; Everything that divides people is evil and ugly. " Tolstoy's "kindness" words and deeds had an indelible impact on Roland's life.
The writing purpose of Whose Biography is lofty, creating the sun in the spiritual world, breathing the breath of heroes, and making people get spiritual support in the painful and disappointing reality. Who's Who is full of intense passion. Every reader who reads Who Who's Who will first strongly feel the irresistible enthusiasm in the works, and will be heartbroken by Roland's inspiring language.
From the structural point of view, Beethoven's biography, Michelangelo's biography and Tolstoy's biography seem to be independent and irrelevant, but in fact they are internally consistent. This consistency stems not only from the spiritual similarity of the three masters, but also from another important thought of Roland, namely, the European unity thought and the humanitarian spirit.
Whose Biography is a fascinating biography. The author devoted all his enthusiasm to successfully expose readers to the three masters in the biography and share their pains and failures. Also share their sincerity and success.
The most prominent place in Whose Biography is that it shows the physical and mental sufferings of the biographies in many aspects, their unremitting struggle with infinite suffering, and their passion for life that erupted in the struggle. Throughout the three biographies, the protagonists in Roland's novels have the same fate schema and trend: long-term suffering, torrent-like vitality, artistic creation embodying the will of life and the pursuit of exchanging pain for joy.
Roman Roland called these three great geniuses' heroes'. His view of hero is not the hero usually praised. Roman? The heroes Roland refers to have become "loyal servants of mankind" because of their great character. They are great because they can serve the public wholeheartedly. Roland himself said: "The hero I am talking about is not a person dominated by ideas or power; But a man with a great heart. In order to highlight the essence of heroes, Roland changed the writing style of conventional biographies, abandoned the general knowledge introduction of biographies, concentrated on grasping the highly unified spiritual character of characters, and projected his passion for heroes.
Beethoven, Michelangelo, Tolstoy, these people who were honored as heroes by Roman Roland, were either tortured by illness, or suffered, or because of inner confusion and contradiction, or the superposition of the three, and their deep distress almost choked their breath and destroyed their reason. They can persist in the arduous course because of their love and confidence in mankind. Beethoven's music of "taking pain as pleasure"; Michelangelo dedicated his life's hard work to a masterpiece that shocked the soul; Tolstoy always cared about the greatness and insignificance of thousands of creatures, so as to spread the seeds of love and the ideal of tolerance.
