The 53rdOllie in the classics

During my Corona house arrest, I reviewed some classic literature. The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Les Miserables" . Although they are not really related, they have one thing in common: they are French literature. I decided to read them again, so I pulled them off the shelf and read them. It's a long book.

. as well as several works that could be considered modern classics. The Catcher in the Rye, The Diary of a Bad Boy trilogy, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. . these are works that I posted myself in the Book Cover Challenge, a sort of letter of misfortune project on social networking sites.

After all, classics have been read for decades, so the themes are universal and do not become old-fashioned no matter what era you read them in. . Next time, let's go back to Duchtoyevsky, shall we? I skipped the part about the Grand Inquisitor in "The Brothers Karamazov," so I think I'll read this part properly next time. . I wonder if I'll have the reading comprehension, patience, and concentration to be able to read it. . I am a little worried because I skipped over the two French sentences at the beginning of the text this time and followed the storyline.

It is difficult to imagine that such a classic novel-like extraordinarily long work will ever be written in the future. The backgrounds of the times in which these works were created are too different from those of today. In this age of information overload and fast-paced consumption, it would be difficult to create such a large-scale work, and even if it were written, it is unlikely that it would be popular.

In Japan, light novels such as these have become popular among young people in recent years, but it would be rare to find a work among them that could be read and passed on for decades. Manga, on the other hand, may have more potential.

There is often a project in weekly magazines to have intellectuals introduce classics that should be read, but I have not read even one-tenth of them. Such a rare chance to stay at home is an opportunity, but on this occasion, I was unable to start on such unread works. I'm already halfway back to my daily routine now that the self-restraint is lifted, but I'll make a list of what I'll read next in case the second wave of Coronas hits (by the way, the library is a good place to hit up the classics. They always have them, and they're not popular, so you can always borrow them. . wipe it down well and clean it up before reading it at times).

Not only books, but also music is an interesting genre of music, both old and new. Classical music, as well as classic rock and jazz, are still enjoyed by everyone today, as well as the latest hit charts. It seems difficult to create something new in a genre that has a large amount of archives, but even so, something new is born, and one can only admire once again the creative power of writers.

There are works of art and a long history of cultural heritage that are created every day. It is difficult to read and listen to them all. . That is why there is always the buffer of encountering new works. . When you think about it, you don't have to go to the pachinko parlor because you don't have anything to do in your life of self-restraint.

The writer Nakajima Ramo said that the ability to kill time is called "culture. I see what you mean.

By the way, as a fashion designer for many years, I have passed by most of the long-selling items that could be called classics. However, the only one I have not had any luck with is the "Vans" sneaker.

But now that I wear them every day, you never know. Aim for Ollie.
