Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 12 The Ripper
Subtitle of this chapter: The gray shadow that hangs over the British and American literary world
The sun was about to reach its highest point of the day, and Anastasia, the daughter of Peter and wife of Chicherin, who had never been so tired, finally woke up. She was a little disappointed to find that the Chinese man, who was a little strange but had good physical strength, had left.
Anna stretched herself and was about to get up when she found the stack of manuscripts on the bedside table. She picked it up and saw the bright red dedication: For the Red Queen of the Queens Country.
To the Red Queen of Queens? Is this for me?
Anna was a little confused. She didn't see Neo holding the stack of manuscripts yesterday. Could it be that I didn't notice this at all last night?
Thinking of last night, the Red Queen of Queens blushed, shook her head, and then looked up at the title of the manuscript:
Fifty Shades of Grey
“Fifty Shades of GreyThis novel is not unfamiliar to readers from all over the world. However, when it first appeared in front of the world in 1922, it was shocking. Conservatives regarded it as a cult book in the city of Sodom., radicals praised it as the Western "Indian Kama Sutra", while for the general public, this book opened the door to a new world. Some even believed that this was a major advancement in human sexual behavior..."
"The plot of this book is quite simple. It tells the story of an innocent 21-year-old female college student named Anastasia Steele, who went to interview the handsome 28-year-old young entrepreneur Christian Grey for a report for the school newspaper. The two fell in love and soon got married. But after marriage, Ana discovered another side of her husband that was unknown to others. After some inner struggle, she began to explore her desires between white and black with her husband. In fact, even in terms of the plot alone, this has exceeded the general perception of women at the time. So it is not surprising that feminists regard this book as a harbinger of women's self-liberation. And it can be said that this is a description of the future, and it is not surprising that some people classify it as a soft science fiction novel..."
"And its bold and explicit description of abnormal sexual behavior and SM has also attracted the attention of psychologists. Two major psychologists at the beginning of this century, Sigmund Freud, the 'father of psychoanalysis' who established the 'First Vienna Psychoanalytic School', and Carl Gustav Jung, who first coined the 'three-layer personality of consciousness, personal unconsciousness and collective unconsciousness', have written special works on this book.The former is "Totem and Taboo: A Study on Human Taboo Sexual Behavior", while the latter is "Christianity and Devil Worship from the Perspective of SM"..."
"But for those of us who study English and American literature, the most fascinating and puzzling mystery of Fifty Shades of Grey is actually the same question: who is the author? This question is so fascinating and confusing to us that the unknown author of the famous novel has even been nicknamed the 'Jack the Ripper of 20th century English literature.'"
"At the end of 1921, a red-haired Eastern European woman with the same name as the heroine came to Chicago alone. She used her meager savings to rent a small private house, and after recruiting two young women from Eastern Europe, she opened the first 'Palace of Red Queen'. Because of the special services it provided, it soon became a hit and became the Windy City's most popular place.As a popular leisure place for gentlemen, the size of the Red Queen's Palace expanded rapidly. By the end of 1922, there were more than 20 girls working there. Because of the shortage of supply, it had to adopt a membership system. This naturally attracted imitators, who spent a lot of money to recruit girls who had been trained by Ms. Anastasia Steele, hoping to build their own "Red Queen's Palace". To their surprise, Ms. Steele was worthy of the surname Steele., she quickly fought back. Her fight back was to simply divide the book "Fifty Shades of Grey" into a dozen paragraphs, and print each paragraph into a booklet and give it to her customers. So the book appeared in front of the world in this way. However, this did not affect Ms. Steele's business, but instead made her and her "Red Queen's Palace" famous..."
"Of course, someone asked Ms. Steele if she was the author, and she replied that it was written by a friend of hers. Moreover, as an adult woman who only started to learn English formally after arriving in the United States, it can be confirmed that she does not have the ability to handle such a long work..."
"In the 1920s, some people still believed that it was the British writer D.H. Lawrence.It was written anonymously, but he himself denied it. Another view is that based on the gentle style of his words and sentences and his accurate grasp of female psychology, this should be a female writer. Unfortunately, we have never found this 'Marguerite Duras of the 1920s.'…"
