Rimbaud's girl

The quality of life of Maupassant’s family is much better than that of Rimbaud’s. Maupassant’s mother has a generous dowry, so she can live alone with her two sons. There is no pressure in life. The two brothers of Maupassant can go to good private schools and can Affordable to go to the University of Paris; if it weren't for the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, Maupassant would definitely finish his studies step by step.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Maupassant is also "widowed parenting", which shows how common this kind of thing is.Think about Mathilde again, alas!Which woman thinks before getting married that she will divorce or have to separate in the future?Even George Sand was not immune to this pain.And because the vast majority of women in this era have received the education of "submissive men" since they were young, they will separate from their husbands or even divorce. Most of the time it is because they can no longer tolerate their husbands' behavior. As a result, she took her sons and left her husband.

Captain Rimbaud who abandoned his wife and son is another type.

In short, women are docile and swallow their breath, but men can do whatever they want.

Thinking about it this way, the cost-effectiveness of marriage is too low, and she can't guarantee whether Gabriel will change in the future, so she inevitably loses confidence and feels that life is too difficult.

But it would be ridiculous to call off a wedding because of something you're not sure will happen.

It is not her character not to do it in order to avoid pain; it is her belief to overcome difficulties in case of disaster.

He's just a stinky man, just find a way to manage him well!

I had a good talk with Mr. Alfonso. The publisher readily paid an advance payment of 5000 francs, signed a contract, and agreed to deliver a manuscript for at least 15 months; after the manuscript is delivered, the payment will be made after the publication is confirmed. The advance payment of the manuscript fee for a book, and then the rest of the manuscript fee for this book will be paid half a year after publication; if she keeps publishing new books, it will also drive the sales of previously published novels, so that the manuscript fee will continue to accumulate, and it is easy to earn a year. 1 francs, ten years later she may be able to earn 2 francs a year or more.

In fact, there are many ways for a literary young woman like her to make money.For example, Zola often attends some literary salons and banquets of some nobles. If he can play cards, he can also become a frequent visitor at the card tables of the nouveau riche. There were not many invitations; Flaubert always went to Paris several times a year, also because he had to attend some banquets and literary salons that he could not refuse.

Artists are not as "noble" as ordinary people think. For example, painters know how to build good relationships with art companies and art dealers, and writers also know how to get along with newspaper commentators and other "literary critics". Good relationship.In addition, there are human entertainment and commercial entertainment, which is inevitable and necessary.

For example, now, Vitaly has received many invitations: from the cultural department, from the feudal aristocratic landowners, and from the bourgeois nouveau riche.Well-connected and rich people want to make friends with talented young writers, but they always pay a price, and the appearance fee is expensive, at least 500 francs to start, she only needs to attend the invitation once a month, and she can live a very good life.

Although the nobles who stayed in France lost their dignified status, most of them are still doing well, at least most of their fiefs are still there, and the quality of life has declined slightly, but generally speaking they have not been fundamentally shaken; they invited Lan The Bo brothers and sisters are also because they can meet the queen and the crown prince in England, and they are all very interested in the current life of the queen and the crown prince.

Some of these aristocratic families were old acquaintances of the Oran family. For this reason, Vitaly wrote to ask Gabriel if she could go if there was a similar entertainment, and whether there were some families that did not deal with the Oran family.Gabriel told her seriously about a lot of bullshit among the French noble families, and made a list for her.

These intricate relationships of kinship and hostility made Arthur dizzy.He doesn't need to consider these things when he chooses where to socialize, because he is an in-law of the Oran family, and Vitaly will be the wife of the Oran family in the future. After the engagement, she and Gabriel will be a whole, and she must consider it.

The first in the female celebrity series is, of course, the native French legend, Joan of Arc.

Many people have written the story of Joan of Arc before. This illiterate Orleans girl was betrayed by the French traitor to the British and died on the stake of the British. The place is in Rouen, Rouen City Hall and some nearby Churches and monasteries have collected many documents of the time, as well as private family collections. "The trial of Joan of Arc" is an important event in French and Western history. Later generations of researchers believe that Joan of Arc was the first victim of the hundreds of years of "witch hunting" persecution of women in the Middle Ages in Europe.

Joan of Arc died at the age of 19. More than 30 years later, the French Inquisition re-examined the case of Joan of Arc under the repeated pleas of Joan's mother, announcing that Joan of Arc was not -->>

Not "heresy".

At this time, Joan of Arc had not yet been conferred the title of "Saint" by the Holy See, but she was already a national hero recognized by France.

The first book in the series must choose a local heroine with deep affection for the French, and Joan of Arc's French name is Jeanne D'Arc, which is the same name as Vitaly's first name.

The "witch hunt" is generally recognized to have begun in 1484, when Pope Innocent VIII issued an edict, which stated that "(they) forget their own salvation, deviate from the belief of God, and have sex with the opposite sex in their sleep , Cursing and punishing oaths, casting magic, bewitching the public, and doing anything wrong." After that, the Europeans set off a group action to persecute women. It is said that as many as 10 women died in the "witch hunt".At that time, the entire population of Europe may have been 7 to 8 million, which is an astonishingly high proportion.

It is impossible for the Pope's decree to be issued suddenly without prerequisites. The "witch hunt" must have lasted for a period of time among the people before it finally spread to Rome.

Joan of Arc's life is not a rare information in France. Before she was executed, someone had already found out her life.The story Vitaly wants to tell is: First, is Joan a witch?Second, is Joan's so-called "God's inspiration" real, or is it an illusion caused by schizophrenia, or is it a lie fabricated to convince people?

The word "schizophrenia" has not yet appeared, but there is already a definition of similar behavior: "hysteria", which is similar to insanity and nonsense after the brain is messed up.Contemporary doctors don't know much about the diseases caused by mental symptoms, and most of the time they can only send patients to mental hospitals.

Joan of Arc claimed that she was inspired by God, witnessed miracles, and the archangel talked to her. It can be said that it is God's will, or it can be said that the devil (Satan) disguised as the image of the archangel tempted her.Joan of Arc would definitely not be able to prove that there really was an archangel. The English also wanted to kill the popular leader of the French team at that time. No matter what she said, she would surely die.

The times are still advancing. In the 15th and 16th centuries, a woman like George Sand would not have been able to live such a happy life. She might have been dubbed a "witch", thrown into the water and drowned, or tied up. Burned at the stake.Vitaly can only stay in Charleville obediently. In the future, marrying a small shopkeeper or the son of a small businessman is the best prospect. She will be one of countless ordinary women, and no matter how hard she struggles, she will be limited.

She was going to start writing from Joan's childhood.

The family background of Dak’s family is similar to that of Jufu’s. They are also small landowners. The family has dozens of acres of land and has no worries about food and clothing. But at that time, ordinary women did not have the right to receive education. She did not go to school, and at most she could write her own name. .Joan's childhood should have been pretty good, and she would hallucinate and hear the archangel talking to her, indicating that she is a devout believer, and she firmly believes in her beliefs and beliefs.

Joan of Arc must be very smart. Historians studied the interrogation records of the teaching staff at that time. The dialogue between Joan of Arc and the judge showed that she was a young woman with wit and courage. It is not an exaggeration to call it a "genius"; Genius is often envied, and not only the English hated her, but the Burgundians and Orleans hated her: a young girl led men to victory, and it meant thousands of men— —nobles and ordinary soldiers—neither of a girl of seventeen, what an irony!

She searched for information diligently, and also collected materials scattered among the people in the Rouen area as much as possible, and some items that were considered to be the relics of Joan of Arc: a handful of ashes in a silver box, said to be the ashes of Joan of Arc, were A bold collection of little priests survives; a silver ring said to have been worn by Joan throughout the year; and a knightly helmet said to have been used by Joan.

The ashes are because a jar was found a few years ago in the warehouse of a pharmacy in Paris, inscribed with the inscription "remains found under the stake of Joan of Arc in Orléans", containing some ashes, some broken charcoal, a broken Linen, a cat femur, because there is a tradition of "throwing a black cat on the fire" to execute witches, and black cats have always been good assistants to witches.

Without modern detection methods in the 21st century, who knows what ashes are?Maybe it wasn't human ashes at all.The ashes are very unreliable.The ring does appear to be in the casting style of the 15th century, and the helmet is also the standard helmet of the Orléans army at that time, but neither is credible.

And although there are many written records, none of them have described in detail what Joan of Arc looked like.Judging from experience, to convince people of her "witness to miracles" statement, Joan of Arc's face must be very friendly or persuasive, and she will definitely not be an ugly girl, at least she will have a delicate appearance; She has not received a very good education, but it is not ruled out that she will receive education from folk tales. Some people say that she is just a puppet launched by a mysterious organization. In fact, she has no command experience and has never really been on the battlefield, but it cannot be confirmed. , in fact, cannot be falsified.
