The cover of the poem The Shadow of the Past – Photo (LHK) The poetry collection “Old Afternoon Shadows”* by Nguyen Thi Thu has 70 poems printed with moderate thickness, beautiful and simple cover, giving readers a friendly and close first impression. There are only 3 poems written by the author about relatives (father, mother and deceased brother) arranged in separate arrays, but they are 3 poems rich in emotions. The rest are love poems. Women that. Eve’s words to invite Adam to eat the forbidden fruit is a love verse of the early morning ancestors of mankind. Without mentioning the memories as often seen in the lines of crying for separation, the verses in the poem “The day of his death” are linked, confused and helpless as if it was the longing for a relative who soon left. far from the world. It is not a manly page to be able to pour a cup of wine on the grave of a short loved one like Nguyen Thong (1827-1884) did in front of his brother’s grave in the article. “Falling away from a foreign country” (Far from my grave in a foreign land) , Nguyen Thi Thu tossed in a dream, in nostalgia hoping to find her brother’s figure, but soon realized it was a hopeless search: I look in a dream I search in nostalgia Parting is forever Far away, far away. (Your anniversary) Just a glance at the titles of the remaining 67 poems, readers can imagine so many levels of love in the soul of a woman who has endured and overcome many sun and rain in the world. There is a call for a lover in Why don’t you take me home, One day I will love, Love forever, Remember to listen to me, Tell me… There are timestamps left with Sunset, Old Wharf, Sent in the past, Winter, Spring at the door, The season of flying leaves… There are flowers that hide so many memories: A few degrees of yellow flowers, You and the lotus, Wild flowers, May flowers, Bi Ngan flower love story… Nguyen Thi Thu is like a woman in a cubist painting. Many faces turned to the four directions, but the eyes opened wide and looked into their own realm. This is a young girl in love, dreaming of a flower boat by the river in the rape season. That’s the girl sitting knitting a sweater unfinished a love affair. And far away is a woman who remembers an old autumn: He said he loves wildflowers You should send your heart to the wind and clouds Autumn is so far away To lose your love in this place forever. (To send) When the eyes are on their own world, the verse will be full of mood. “The shadow of the old afternoon” is so flickering with smoke, filled with sadness and joy, like the scenes of the film overlap in succession, and then suddenly the lens-lens-inner-mind pulls into a deep perspective with waves. The lake surface spreads to the abyss. Author Nguyen Thi Thu Literary works always carry in it, at different levels, the thoughts, feelings and sometimes even the fate of the writer. Because of that, facing life, sometimes verses and poems become a bridge to share, sympathize, and connect writers with others: One day, I lost my way to the moon and stars Know someone’s arms to pick up for those who missed an appointment? Please open your heart to love the sunshine Wipe your tears then… wipe even the rain. (Path to happiness) Reading Nguyen Thi Thu’s poetry, the reader encounters the author’s lyrical ego in every private moment, every small word confiding. When revealed by lines, shapes, when flickering, ghostly. Sometimes the truth is mixed together, both familiar and strange: Is there an afternoon where I’m alone? Sitting alone looking at the trees shedding leaves The rain is falling with long drops Tell us stories like yes, no? (Doesn’t it rain in the afternoon) “Old Afternoon Shadow” anchors the reader’s feelings because of its multi-voiced, multi-step tone, showing the author’s rich linguistic ability and sensitive and flexible rhyme perception, especially in the form of poetry. five languages ​​and hexagons: Losing love is a pain If you forget, it will be too late One dimple lover Words of love follow the wind to the flying sand. (Sand flies) It is not difficult to find the shortcomings, immaturity here and there in a collection of poems, but the most noticeable is the redundancy and repetition of words in a poem, or sometimes “trending” to use strange words. If the word “lost” choose a very expensive place in the article “Possible and impossible” then the fact that there are 6 mentions of the word “peace” (pages 27, 60, 64, 78, 88, 95) makes it difficult for readers to… peace! But, above all, “Old Afternoon Shadow” and the feelings of the author are worthy for readers to share and sympathize.

Perhaps many people have left high school with the impression that History is boring and boring. Events associated with numbers, dry, impersonal narratives that are unknown to anyone, stories that happened far and wide with relative timelines like “a few tens of thousands of years.” ”, “20-30 thousand years ago”… However, that feeling will disappear when the reader Sapiens – A brief history of mankind with pictures – episode 1: The beginning of mankind. The work was born from the cooperation of three authors Yuval Noah Harari, David Vandermeulen, Daniel Casanave. A special edition Before Sapiens – A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari, a Jewish-American historian has been well received by many readers, including Vietnamese readers. This book, though thick and heavy both literally and figuratively, has been hotly discussed by a wide audience. Reading him, one will go from one surprise to another and after reading it, there will be questions and reflections left in the mind. He has been very successful in making the reader, be it the average reader or the researcher, one more time pondering the true meaning of history. This time, the content that appeared in that book has been restructured, recreated in a special edition – the “picture” version. Book Sapiens – A Brief History of Humankind with Pictures, Volume 1. Photo: Omega Plus. Overseas, it is very common for a classic, famous, best-selling or influential work to appear in multiple versions for different audiences. However, even if it is the same basic expression of the same content, each version has its own uniqueness and appeal. Those who have read Sapiens-human history Before that, it would have been thrilling to flip open the book to see what the picture version was all about. The book opens with the foreword by Yuval Noah Harari: “Dedicated to extinction, loss, and oblivion. Everything fits and falls apart.” Reading this preface makes me feel like the author is more like a certain Eastern sage than a Western historian who likes to dissect and analyze. The book leads the reader to follow the history of the universe – earth and humanity along the time axis with a unique way of divergence: From the history of physics, to the history of chemistry, biology and finally The same is cultural history with 4 titles and 4 chapters: Rebels in the Prairie, Fictional Masters, Sex, Lies and Caves, Intercontinental Murderers. A special narrative As a picture version, of course the book’s great appeal comes from its visual and vividness. However, not only that, the appeal and uniqueness of the work lies in many other things. Firstly, the text in the book is written very succinctly, easy to understand, and highly generalizable. Reading a sentence, the reader can imagine an era of hundreds of thousands of years, even billions of years. For example, it is easy to find in books statements or interpretations like this: “About 14 billion years ago, matter, energy, time, and space were formed in the event we call it. is the big bang – the Big Bang. The story of these fundamental properties of the universe is called physics”; “The story of atoms and molecules and their interactions is called chemistry”; “The Story of Creatures Called Biology”; “The process of human cultural development is called history”… A lot of the tangled messes of our perception have been compressed, rearranged in a concise and logical order. The work of Yuval Noah Harari was well received and debated by many readers. Photo: Omega Plus. Second, the history that appears here is not a cold and frozen “impersonal” history. In this picture book, there will be many people telling about history such as historian Yuval Noah Harari, professor – biologist Saraswati, professor Dunbar – expert on human communication, even detective. López. This narrative technique called “multi-tonal narrative” has recently been applied in many countries to primary school history textbooks to increase the book’s appeal. This narrative, academically shows that to understand history one needs a lot of experts in many different fields, but at the same time creates the appeal of the story being told as history is seen. from many sides. Third, the history told in this pictorial version is a “continuous dialogue between historian and history, between present past and future” as EH Car put it. It is the dialogue between historian Yuval Harari and Zoe – a curious teenager curious; the dialogue of professors like Yuval Harari with archaeological evidence such as tools, fossils, relics left in the ground, between professors and the public in seminars, between present – past – future such as the trial of the Sapiens genocide of large mammals and the current threat of destroying the ecosystem of humans… The narrative style always changes the point of view from the present to the past, then from the past to reflect and relate to the present and future. Those are the journeys through time of modern people to many different times, on many different lands, making readers not feel tired. Harari has appeared in the book as a narrator who speaks directly to the reader. Finally, the humor. Humor makes the historical narrative charming and engaging. For example, when describing 6 human species that once existed on earth, with characteristics summarized on each portrait card, the authors described Homo Sapiens like this: “HOMO SAPIENS ANNUAL: THE FINALLY PEOPLE The human family 50,000 years ago. Location: anywhere, even on the moon Existence: 300,000 years ago to present. Probably going extinct before 2100. Characteristic: They think themselves wise above all else. Strengths: Good at crafting tools, from toothbrushes to intercontinental rockets. Weaknesses: Big ego. Or believe in nonsense.” Along with humor is the explanation, simile full of images. All of the above factors are mixed, reduced, and skillfully combined in the entire work, making it attractive to both adult readers and children over 13 years old.

Renowned French comic artist David Vandermeulen and Belgian screenwriter Daniel Casanave were the first to come up with the idea for the series, so they teamed up with Harari to create a series of graphic comics. . Author Yuval Noah Harari said: “Their creative talent allowed the three of us to tell human history from a whole new perspective – without them I wouldn’t have been able to. Their humor and intelligence have made the book a truly enjoyable experience ”. The trend of graphicizing books is favored by many readers In the series, Harari plays a narrator, along with her niece named Zoe. He tells stories, guides, and explains Zoe’s questions through the intricate pages of evolution and his theories about how an ape living on a secluded steppe has grown to be a species. dominate the globe. At the same time, he brought Zoe to meet real characters such as scientist professor Saraswati – biologist, professor Robin Dunbar – anthropologist, expert on human communication to bogus characters. Dr. fiction, Detective Lopez … to explain more thoroughly the evolution and development of our species. “Sapiens – human history” (text version) has more than 10 million readers and has been translated into 50 different languages. And Sapiens comic version has now been translated and released in more than 35 countries around the world. Harari also argues that it is imperative to pass the book’s message to more readers because we are living in a global era, you need to understand the big picture of history in order to really understand. my life. Also according to the author, most of the educational apparatus only teaches the history of the country, its own religion and culture. “I spent 12 years in school in Israel and never heard anything about Chinese history or what happened before Judaism. I never took a class that teaches about the agricultural revolution. So everyone needs to see the big picture and Sapiens can provide it in an interesting and accessible way ”- says author Harari. Volume one of the series focuses on the formation of the human race that dominates the Earth today, including 4 parts. Part 1 – The rebels on the grassland: the human race was originally just an ordinary animal like any other, and there have been many different human species in the evolutionary process. Part 2 – Fictional Masters: 70,000 years ago, Sapiens had a Cognitive Revolution. Humankind has left artificial works and achievements thanks to the cooperation on a large scale, through language communication and information exchange. Part 3 – Sex, lying and cave painting: tells about people’s life after the Cognitive Revolution and before the agricultural revolution. Sapiens groups are very different in social structure, family, and religious beliefs. Part 4 – Intercontinental killers: in the process of spreading across the globe, humans have caused many ecological disasters, making many native animals extinct. The author has raised a fictitious trial of the Sapiens species for this crime, and all humans share the common responsibility.
