Snake knot

Vipers' Tangle

★ A shocking masterpiece steeped in the venom of human nature by a Nobel laureate, a psychological analysis archetype in the pantheon of French literature It dissects the fatal knots intertwined in love, marriage, and kinship with surgical precision, revealing the hatred and redemption in the dark currents of human nature. The 1952 Nobel Prize in Literature citation praised it for "the depth of spiritual insight and artistic intensity with which it has revealed the drama of human life." ★ A world-renowned literary giant, influenced Camus and Mishima Yukio Selected for the "Bibliothèque de la Pléiade" series of literary treasures by Éditions Gallimard and a required reading list for the philosophy department at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris; Camus commented, "He makes sin emanate a captivating poetry" (Volume 4 of "Camus Complete Works" by Éditions Gallimard), and Mishima Yukio wrote "Thirst for Love" inspired by him. ★ Reaching the "serpent's knot" behind marriage and family, every modern person trapped in intimate relationships can see themselves Most of the misfortunes and suffering in intimate relationships stem from the "serpent's knot" deeply rooted in human nature: we only believe what we want to believe, thereby reinforcing our prejudices against others. When trust collapses into suspicion, when conversation silences into stillness, only by severing the "serpent's knot" can we free ourselves from the shackles of our own making. ★ A new, more readable and meticulously revised translation from French by Gu Qi, translator of "The Narrow Gate" It restores the dense and somber style of the original work with a cold, poetic language, eliminating translation barriers and better conforming to modern Chinese usage. ★ Exquisitely designed and bound by senior designer Broussaille, a hardcover pocket edition for burden-free collection and reading A portable 127*184mm pocket edition, with wood pulp offset paper for the text, a vibrant dust jacket, and a stark inner cover, instantly transporting you to Mauriac's spiritual world. ———————— Lawyer Louis, from humble origins, was a miserly and cruelly cold-blooded man who confined his life to a prison of suspicion and revenge. In his old age, he wrote a will accusing his wife and children. In the letter, he poured out his resentment, accusing his wife of past affairs, denouncing her coldness towards him, and hating his children for coveting his inheritance. He meticulously planned and schemed, intending to leave his fortune to his illegitimate son to spite his family. However, a sudden critical illness rendered his accusations and hatred null and void, and the will became a confession and repentance. As death approached, he confronted the distorted soul nourished by resentment, and untangled the "serpent's knot" that had entwined his entire life, in love and faith.
