I really fell in love with this writer when I read the second book Istanbul Holiday. I have always felt that only psychologists can observe and observe the hearts of characters in such a subtle way.
He is very conservative about his own affairs and seldom reveals too much in public. We know very little about him. Marc levy has visited China, and I can only get to know him through those press releases.
"In the book I wrote for my son, I won't tell him some big truths, but let him become what he wants to be, have hope and desire to create value, and have some humanistic feelings for the world."
The signing ceremony was held in Shanghai on 20/0/4. The real "shadow thief", Louis Levy, the son of Mark Levy, also visited China.
Mark Levy's debut "If this is true" (if only it were true
The original intention of writing is to hope that my son can understand the feelings of his 30-year-old father when he is 30 years old. This novel was later adapted into the film just like heaven by director Spielberg (also known as Out-of-Body Lover).
In real life, father and son can't be the same age. But when his son is in his thirties, he can read his father's works and communicate with his peers. His son may find * * * in the book. "At that time, we will become the best friends in the world."
He said: "At the end of my life, I would rather be called a good father than a capable person."
"I can never be a famous writer at the age of 17. When I am not a genius, I can still succeed through hard work. "
/kloc-started to serve the red cross for six years at the age of 0/8. At the age of 22, he founded an image synthesis company and an architect's office before he was 30. The recognition of the 37-year-old debut is purely unexpected.
Before the age of 37, Mark Levy's life had nothing to do with writing, and he never thought that he would become a best-selling author. There is no direct relationship between life in previous decades and literature, but I chose to write at a certain moment. Many years later, he will recall his past experiences and literary edification, all of which are accumulated for novel creation.
Thirty-seven years is enough for me to reach an understanding with the world, without the embarrassment of making a living and the anxiety of pursuing fame and fortune. Gently understand the inner loneliness of every ordinary person and maximize the understanding of the world around you.
This is impossible for any teenager aged 17. So, fortunately, it is not young and famous.
"I'm not a rock singer, and I don't need to feel worshipped. I always wait for my readers with humility. "
Mark Levy is a French writer with the most readers in the world. /kloc-won "French best-selling novelist of the year" in 0/2 years. Such a popular writer, welcomed by readers, has always been on the edge of the mainstream cultural circle in France.
Literary critics accused his works of being "beach literature". Marc levy, who lives in the United States, only said, "I think those who criticize me are eager to be bestsellers." .
Someone asked marc levy if it would involve more serious and profound topics in order to win Nobel Prize in Literature?
He said: "I'm sure I won't win the Nobel Prize in my life. In my opinion, readers' love is more meaningful than literature prize. The literary prize is at most an ornament on the fireplace for me. "
"I still hope to experience better moments and painful moments in my life, because everything has helped me better shape myself and become me today."
He worked in the Red Cross for six years, saw too many accidental deaths, and personally felt the impermanence of life. At the age of 22, he went to America and founded a computer image synthesis company. After the company went bankrupt, he returned to France to open an architect's office.
His profound understanding of life in his later works, including The Doctor and The Architect, is closely related to his experiences in those years. He never regrets his previous professional experience.
He also let go of the pain and frustration in his life.
"I think all these experiences constitute some materials for my future writing."
He said: "I don't know where the inspiration came from, maybe it came suddenly, maybe it was hidden in my heart."
All the experiences will come back to you in an unexpected way in later life.
"What I am really interested in is that when I leave, my children will say that I am a good father, my wife says that I am a good lover, and my friends say that I am an interesting guy."
The reader said: "marc levy's books always give people a nameless touch and cure." Where does his source of happiness come from?
His love for his son Louis is real. Although he divorced his first wife, his son remained close to him.
After he wrote his first novel "If this is true", with the encouragement of his sister, this novel was published.
His grandmother is a capable philanthropist. She donated her own house and established the first women's hospital in Turkey.
He is very proud of his first salary and wants to share it with his grandmother at once.
Grandma said, "Because you will be an adult soon, what matters in your life is not money, but what you will do in your life." Especially at my age, how do you view your life? "It was not until grandma died that he understood the meaning of these words.
His father, a Jew, took part in activities against German Nazis and suffered a lot for it. /kloc-When he was 0/6 years old, Mark Levy suddenly discovered that his modest and restrained father was a hero.
My father said, "I'm not a hero. Son, I'm just doing the right thing. "
"In the end, we still have the last laugh. We beat our opponents because we have the ability to continue to love others after suffering. We formed our own family and had our own children. I believe that love is a belief handed down from generation to generation. We can choose to be full of hatred or love. And hatred is a manifestation of human retrogression. "
These words will never be forgotten by him.
Many years later, his wife said to him, since you want to write about your father, don't wait until he dies, you will regret it. Tell his story while he is alive. Half a year later, a novel describing young people's resistance to the Nazis was published, which was the most beautiful spring in life.
Only by living in an environment of love and being loved can we still exude gentle understanding after learning that the world is dark and human nature is cool thin.
"I didn't play any role at the time. What I pour out on paper is the truest emotion in my heart. "
/kloc-Marc levy, 0/5 years old, realized that the original story could be so attractive after reading The Catcher in the Rye.
Marc levy said, "I was very shy when I was a child. Writing can clearly write out what you can't say in your heart. " Writing is a way to cure and resist shame and reserve.
The greatest motivation for his writing comes from his inner needs and desires. The novel is a school of its own, and it is very recognizable.
He said that writing makes you "come to another world, a world where everything is possible".
He has never described the appearance of the hero, hoping that readers can interpret the plot full of pictures from the text.
He dares to try different writing styles-suspense, adventure, romantic comedy, etc.
His writing usually covers two elements: one is travel, and the other is whimsy or strange experiences in life.
All his novels are actually about the loneliness of the city. But he wrote his loneliness fresh and refined, full of life breath.
He said, don't care about the destination, the true meaning of writing will be gradually reflected in the process of your travel.
He likes to write about the human power released by ordinary people in the process of fighting against fate in an environment that they can't face freely.
He said that it is crazy for a writer to think that he can heal people's hearts when he starts writing. "All I can do is write down the story in my heart."
He said that you get more happiness by paying attention to others than yourself. My writing inspiration comes from my daily life. I like to observe and listen to what is happening around me.
He said that the real difficulty in writing is to enter every role he has given life, to observe, to listen, to speak and to feel.
He said: "Writing is the closest thing to my heart, which makes me really work for myself. This is a job that is full of passion and never wants to stop. "
He said that writing is a moment of freedom and great sharing. But he also said that during the months when he concentrated on writing, he was isolated, lonely and miserable.
Most people have loneliness that no one can understand and loneliness that cannot be solved. However, they were cured and redeemed in the affection, friendship, love and the pursuit of identity among the characters.
She wants me to find a job that makes me happy. No matter what choice I make in life, whether I will love or be loved, I hope I can realize all her expectations. -"The Shadow Stealer"
I never imagined loving you so much. You come into my life like flowers are always in full bloom, and summer is finally coming. -"Meeting you again"
Leaving without saying a word is more cruel than abandoning him. Silence itself is a betrayal. -"the first day"
It's really terrible to lose someone you love, but the most terrible thing is not to meet and hate each other late. -"The First Night"
Nothing can be repeated, which is why we need to take everything seriously. People love to be with comfortable people all their lives, not with people with dreams. -"If Everything Comes Again"
You can't spend the rest of your life with a person just because he is gentle and considerate. People who can accompany you all your life must make you feel shocked and laugh. It would be better if he was gentle and considerate, but only better! -another meaning of happiness
The pain of lovelorn love is really painful, but the real misfortune is that your life is as barren as a desert. -"She and He"
You brushed my soul gently, you changed me, and you suddenly made me want to love and be loved. How can I forgive you? -"Istanbul Holiday"
But I have nothing against your fiance. He is perfect! It's just that I'd rather see a man drive you crazy in your life, even if he is full of shortcomings, than see a man win you because he has some advantages. -Mark Levy "Things We Haven't talked about"
Yuan Xiaoyi, a French professor at East China Normal University, once commented on Mark? Li Wei: Mark? Li Wei really solved the "French Romance" imagined by Chinese people.
There is romantic love in Mark Levy's novels. Is it love at first sight or destiny takes a hand? There is warm affection, full of misunderstanding or mutual understanding. Have lasting friendship, never give up or share life and death.
In his world, do you really believe that "in life, there will always be unexpected warmth and endless hope."
