　　bet365 sportsbook review touching way to express love is through words

　1934，bet365 sportsbook review wrote two English poems，Dedicated to "Beatrice" who made his heart beat and broke his heart，One sentence reads: "I give you my loneliness、My darkness、The hunger of my heart。”Many years later，An English teacher read this poem to a 5-year-old girl。The little girl cannot understand what "hunger of the heart" means。The female teacher said: "It is the desire for love，You will understand when you grow up。”A few years later，A 10-year-old girl accidentally opened bet365 sportsbook review's short story "The Circular Ruins" in a magazine。She didn’t understand it at all，But the opening sentence "No one saw him coming ashore on that dark night" touched her inexplicably。Later，The little girl fell in love with literature，I really want to be a literature teacher。But she is not confident enough，Feeling too shy，In addition, the voice is soft，It may be difficult to realize your wishes。Until she went to listen to bet365 sportsbook review’s lecture。She found that the famous writer was actually more timid than her，Thought to himself: "Since he can stand on the stage and give a speech，Then I can also be a teacher。”One day later，She hurriedly walked down the street，Almost knocked down a gentleman。That’s it，16-year-old Maria Kodama “bumped into” bet365 sportsbook review’ life。

"Our past may be distorted in repeated memories。”I wonder whether bet365 sportsbook review’s words are suitable for Maria Kodama’s above memories。But at least everything that happened later was real。After the chance encounter between Kodama and bet365 sportsbook review，She first “learned Old English with him”，Later became his secretary，Finally became his partner。For many complex reasons，This love and marriage with an age gap of nearly 40 years has not been blessed by all relatives and friends，Some people even compared Kodama to Yoko Ono in the literary world because of her Japanese ancestry。But no matter what，bet365 sportsbook review, who had a rough love life, found a warm and stable love in his later years，This is an indisputable fact。

　For a writer，The most touching way to express love is through words。bet365 sportsbook review wrote in "The Number of Days": "Like all actions in the world，Inscribing a book is a wonderful thing，It can also be said that it is the most comfortable way、The most emotional way to mention a person’s name。Maria Kodama，What I want to mention now is your name。"The Conspiracy" is another gift from bet365 sportsbook review to Kodama: "This book belongs to you，Maria Kodama。This inscription contains the morning light and sunset、Nara’s Red Deer、Lonely night and bustling dawn、Islands we visited together、The sea、Deserts and Gardens... Books and Pictures，All this，Do you need me to elaborate？”In the works published by bet365 sportsbook review in his later years，The mark of love can be seen everywhere，But the most shining one is undoubtedly "Atlas"。

　　Abstraction and Reality: The Coexistence of Two bet365 sportsbook review

Starting in the mid-1970s，bet365 sportsbook review traveled to many cities with Kodama by his side，Traveling all over America、Europe、Multiple countries in Africa and Asia。This is a "complementary" trip。The blind poet needs the help of Kodama's eyes to travel around the world: "She comes to describe，Let me imagine，Of course it’s just a limited imagination。”Meanwhile，Kodama experienced more scenery through bet365 sportsbook review’s “moving encyclopedia”: “bet365 sportsbook review traveled around when he was 18 to 20 years old。Therefore，Many of the places we went to were not new to him。Sometimes，He is often the one describing to me the scenery I see。”These long and fruitful journeys eventually became The Atlas。

　The first edition of the "Atlas" in 1984 is richly illustrated with text、Exquisitely bound，Complete by bet365 sportsbook review and Kodama。This kind of "cooperation" is not just about traveling together，But it is reflected in the fact that they recorded the same trip in their own ways。Open the page，bet365 sportsbook review’s transcripts are available under each separate heading，There are also video records of Kodama。As bet365 sportsbook review said，“It’s not a series of captions with photos，Or a series of photos explained with text”。This is a separate journey of literature and photography。bet365 sportsbook review’ world is made of quotations，Everywhere we go，What he saw was the local culture、History、Thoughts and Art。He came to Ireland，What I feel is that "I am walking on the streets that the residents in "Ulysses" walked and continue to walk"；He is on Tiger Island，What I found instead was "Everything in the world leads me to a quote or a book"。In sharp contrast to bet365 sportsbook review’s abstract travels are the real moments captured by Maria Kodama’s camera，Photos freeze that time and place，Freeze the passing moments，Proof that those trips actually happened。But this is another collaborative narrative between literature and photography，A collage of abstract fragments of what bet365 sportsbook review thought and felt and fragments of realistic images from Kodama's camera，Complement each other，Constitutes a multi-dimensional atlas。This kind of "cooperation" is also a proof of love。Vargas Llosa once said，"Atlas" is "notes written by a man in love"，He read from it the joy of life that was rarely mentioned in bet365 sportsbook review’ works。

In the pages of the Atlas，We also discovered the coexistence of two bet365 sportsbook review。In the text part，We still meet the familiar bet365 sportsbook review，The one wandering in the sea of ​​books and dreams、bet365 sportsbook review wandering in the labyrinth of fantasy and philosophy。But at the same time，What we found in the image section was “another bet365 sportsbook review”，A real bet365 sportsbook review in real life。He held Kodama’s slender arm and took a photo with a camel in the desert；He and Kodama took a hot air balloon ride，“High in the sky like an angel or a bird”，Feel the feeling of real flying；He even appeared at a masquerade wearing a weird mask。Admittedly，Photographs give bet365 sportsbook review’ words and thoughts a sense of reality，It also gives bet365 sportsbook review himself a sense of reality。"Atlas" may be the book that readers get closest to the real bet365 sportsbook review。But this kind of reality，But because we are too accustomed to the abstract bet365 sportsbook review，And become unreal。The blind bet365 sportsbook review often said that he was in "a grey-blue mist"，But there is a layer of gray-blue mist between readers and bet365 sportsbook review？Exactly these photos，It is Maria Kodama，Allows readers to cut through the layers of text and get a glimpse of the real bet365 sportsbook review。

　　The narrator bet365 sportsbook review literary master

1989，"Atlas" was included in "The Complete Works of bet365 sportsbook review"。Pictures omitted in subsequent versions，Only the text part is retained，The same is true for the Chinese version。Fortunately，On the 120th anniversary of bet365 sportsbook review’ birth、On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the publication of "Atlas"，Maria Kodama made a special trip to China，More than 100 precious photos will be exhibited in Shanghai and Beijing。

July 23，Maria Kodama, who had just arrived in Beijing, came to the Institute of Latin American Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, accompanied by Gutierrez, the Argentine Ambassador to China。Lecture session，She started with "The meaning of travel"，On the importance of travel in her life: "In Spanish dictionary，Travel means going from one place to another。But can this definition cover all the feelings that travel has for us？”While she was speaking，The photos in the "Atlas" are playing in a loop on the screen behind you。Time flows，Unconsciously, bet365 sportsbook review has been gone for more than 30 years，And Kodama is no longer young，Finally reached the same age as bet365 sportsbook review in the photo。Kodama sitting on the stage giving a speech，Low voice，As if covered with a veil，Can’t hear it clearly。This special reader of bet365 sportsbook review，Although I could not realize my dream of becoming a literature teacher，But he became the narrator of a literary master。

"For us，What does the atlas mean，bet365 sportsbook review？"Kodama once asked。And bet365 sportsbook review gave the answer as early as in the preface of "Atlas": "Maria Kodama and I were surprised to discover various differences、Unique voice、Language、Morning and dusk、City、Gardens and people。May these chapters be a reminder of a long and wonderful journey that continues。”After the lecture，Listener Li Huihan, who is only 12 years old, shared a poem she wrote after reading "Atlas": "Where does the atlas of this world start from?"？Where does the end lead?？Open this atlas，What appears in front of you will no longer be this world。”I wonder if Ms. Maria Kodama will remember the 5-year-old girl back then，And whether "the hunger of the heart" is the starting point of her atlas with bet365 sportsbook review？
