Miller's Letters (French) alphonse Dodd

This is a collection of epistolary short stories, but the author did not clearly point out the addressee. These letters were sent from an abandoned mill in Provence and described the people, customs, legends and anecdotes of Provence. The whole book is full of poetry and feeling the author's yearning for natural life.

First time in the mill

I wrote about the scenery I just saw in the mill in the country. The state of a quiet, carefree and unrestrained person is in sharp contrast with "noisy and dark" Paris, so the author said, "I won't give you all the plays staged in Paris this week."

Bockel yi che

The author recalled what happened when he came to the mill by mail. He wrote that the miller was idle, and even the carriage "walked leisurely along the road until evening" The descriptions of the five people in the car have their own characteristics. The baker is talking about a pencil sharpener and his beautiful wife who often elopes with others. His story may have angered the pencil sharpener.

The Secret of Master Golney

Here an old man tells a story to recall the glory of the mill. The development of modern industry has brought a devastating impact to the traditional mill that grinds flour by wind. But the old man Gorny naturally insisted on "grinding noodles" every day. In the end, everyone knew that he had been grinding lime. All the people in the village grind their own wheat for the old people. Later, when the old man died, the mill stopped grinding noodles.

When I read this, I felt a nameless sadness in my heart, and I was sad for the old man to stick to his dream. No one can resist the general trend.

Mr. Segan's goat

By saying that Mr. Segan's sheep would rather risk being eaten by wolves to run out of the sheepfold in order to find freedom. Then he told his friends that the Granguwa people must also pay a heavy price for their freedom.

Everyone always has his own pursuit, just like Granguwa, who is extremely poor in pursuit of perfect poetic rhyme. Even so, he is unwilling to accept a column editor of a big newspaper. You must make sacrifices for your ideal.

star

A poor young shepherd stayed alone on the mountain to herd sheep, but his heart was full of love for his young mistress. One day, the hostess went up the mountain to deliver food and stayed on the mountain because of the weather. The shepherd was very happy. When the beautiful woman fell asleep on his shoulder, he felt that she was the brightest star in the sky.

Poverty and status can't stop people's desire for love.

Girls in Alai City

Born to love, die for love? A young man named Jane fell in love with a beautiful Alec girl and vowed not to marry her. On the day they were getting married, a man came up and said that the girl in Alai was his mistress. The father no longer agreed to the marriage, but his son's grief made them promise to marry the girl in Arles, but he refused for his father's sake, and finally ended his life with suicide and the love he sought in his heart. Disdain can't kill true love. After reading this story, I suddenly felt very heavy inside. When I can't be with the person I love, is it right or wrong to choose death?

Pope's mule

The author went to the library to find out the meaning and origin of a proverb, and learned that "seven years is not too late" originated from a story. A young man who is good at speculation has gained the trust of the Pope, so that he can get in touch with the Pope's beautiful mule. But then he abused the mule. Later, he walked for seven years, and when he came back for a desired position, he was kicked to death by the Pope's mule.

Speculation at the expense of others will be punished.

The lighthouse of Sanguinel

The author recalls his life in Sanguinel Lighthouse in order to "live alone and daydream freely". He told the story of the lighthouse man and worked dutifully in the lonely lighthouse. Life is monotonous, but they "shut themselves in the lighthouse for fun." Loneliness. Not everyone can enjoy it.

The whole story of the sinking of Semiyant

A warship sank and 600 officers and men died of this sophistication. In fact, other ships have sunk here. What does this mean? The cruelty of war, the impermanence of life?

customs officer

It describes the miserable life of customs officers at sea, but they are still willing to face it. In fact, how can they have no pain in their hearts? Just in the face of bad luck, all they have is helplessness.

The priest of junion

A loving priest went to heaven and hell to look for Juni people, but they were not there. He found them in a special place where he saw many people who had made mistakes. Finally, the priest decided to save their souls and pray sincerely every day. Finally, Hu Junion's good character was widely circulated, and the priest dreamed that he had embarked on the road to heaven.

The old couple

The author visited his elderly grandparents for a friend, and what he saw was an old couple who took care of each other and were extremely happy. They live in peace, love their loved ones and love each other. From some details in their lives, we can see how they care about each other.

poetry in prose

All creatures in nature are equal. No matter the prince or the poor, their status, status and money are useless in front of life. In the face of the beauty of nature, any language is invalid.

Bi Ke Hugh's wallet

What overthrew Mr Bi Ke Hugh, life, family, work or social injustice? It was not until the last thing fell out of his wallet that we realized that the pain of losing his child made him depressed. Although it is a short story, there are many suspense and conflicts, which are very attractive.

The legend of golden brain man

What kind of life will a person lead when he only has money? People born with golden heads are unhappy all their lives. Money will only bring him pain. What he needs is love.

The author once again conveyed the important role of a quiet life for people.

Poet mistral.

When you meet a poet friend, the ideal is the poet's soul. He praises love, morality and self-protection.

Three small masses

When the orange in the cart was sold, "its gorgeous skin and strong aroma made it look strange." But when we imagine what kind of environment they grow in. It will become dead. Everything is naturally the most beautiful.
