Marx Engels tended to realistic literature in his youth。Look at their discussion on literature and art,The most concentrated and most concentrated are realistic literary works,Their work of the writer's work of literature's realism and realistic writers is alone。Marx respects Barzac very much,Once more than once, I said that I want to write a comment article on Balzac "Earth Comedy",The reason is that Balzac with its extraordinary artistic talent, "The mirror with poetic feelings reflects a whole era"。Engels mentioned in 1883 to Lau Lafaya's letter,He read Balzak's work in his illness,Get great satisfaction from this excellent master of realist literature。He believes that Balzac's works reflected from 1815 to 1848 French history,Biwarabe、Kapfig、Louis Brown's all works are much more rich,There is still a great revolutionary bet365 live casino games dialectical law in his poetic referee。Marx Engels has given a high degree of evaluation of realistic literature in 19th century in the letter of "To the Ferdinan Lhasar", "To the Margaret Haknis" and "Zhiminga Coskitz".。For example,Engels mentioned that when mentioning writers such as Ouoren Su and Dickens,Think that their creation shows social historical style,Like their "indeed the logo of the times"。

The reason why Marx and Engels has a single clock for realism,A very important reason is,In the mid -19th century,They are the same as realist writers, paying special attention to the liberation of people in the environment where the increasing contradictions of capitalism and the fate of the people in the environment。The living conditions of people in the capitalist society,Especially the status and situation of the working class,Focus on the focus of Marx Engels and realistic writers,Also the common growth point of their social criticism and the revolutionary spirit。High attention to real problems,Passion for the 19th -century realist writer to focus on the social nature of people、Class (class) sex,Consciously describing the lower levels of the capitalist society,This is one of the important reasons for Marx Engels to appreciate and pay attention to its works。

Under the historical conditions at that time,Engels believes that realist literature must describe the real relationship in the capitalist society,Express the essence of the working class、historical status and historical role。He explicitly pointed out when commenting on Karl Bike's poem "The Song of the Poor",Advanced literature and art should "praise stubborn、咤。Marx Engels emphasized the Bet365 app download "newcomer image" of the new literature and art to show the "newcomer image" of the new literature and art in the "German Ideology" -worker class。Marx gives a high degree of evaluation of Russian realist writers who pay special attention to the fate of "small people",He praised Carishevsky in "Capital" as "a great scholar and critic in Russia"。Marx Engels appreciates writers such as Dickens and Sacley,It is also related to the real description of these writers to the bottom people。In short,Marx Engels's full affirmation and high evaluation of realistic literature,Reflected the significant people's feelings in Marx and Engels' literary thoughts、People's Consciousness。
