What do you think of the German novel, The Reader? Let's chat...
The Long Reader was a novel by Hardy from Germany that was first published in 1934. The novel was set in 19th-century Germany and told the story of a wealthy merchant family, including family disputes, love, kinship, friendship, faith and many other aspects. After reading The Reader, I felt many emotions, the most important of which was gratitude for my father's love. The father in the novel was a rich, responsible and caring father who did not hesitate to sacrifice his own life for the growth of his children. His love for his son was not only material satisfaction, but also spiritual support and encouragement, so that his son would not give up and strengthen his beliefs in adversity. Love in the novel was also a profound theme. The love between the two protagonists had experienced many twists and turns, but they were able to persist in their beliefs and feelings, support each other, and grow together. The love between them was not only romantic and passionate, but also a manifestation of responsibility and trust. In addition, the religious beliefs in the novel also shocked me. My father was a devout Christian. Through his faith and education, he made me feel the power and beauty of religion. His faith not only gave his son a firm belief, but also gave him comfort and guidance in the face of life and death. The Reader was a literary work full of emotions and depth of thought. Through delicate plots and realistic character descriptions, the readers could feel the complexity and beauty of human nature. It was not only a classic novel, but also a work worth reading and thinking about repeatedly.
