Recently, it is difficult to avoid tending to compare yourself with others. Every half hour, our computer posts Facebook status updates to us, accompanied by a couple of smiles on the beach surrounded by white palm trees, or a skyscraper in New York, perfectly self-contained in a perfect life In insisting that it will be a day. You can now live in a sealed box, unplug your computer, and install a noise canceling headset. In fact, this is what the protagonist of AM Homes' book Richard Novak did - the reason is slightly different. After divorce 13 years ago, he left his 4-year-old son Ben living in a glass box, and his life represents all the counterfeits of contemporary Los Angeles. The only person he saw was his butler, his dietician, his massager, and his personal trainer.

Of course, writing points is an important point. These perfect days are perfect in terms of design - after all, they are fictional ones. Ransome does not have such a perfect life. His real life - unpleasant marriage, illegal cheating in Soviet politics suffering from legal problems and embarrassment (more than the biography of Oscar Wilde) that is not long and wise - is more complicated and clumsy. I think that the idyllic landscape that he painted was a wonderful escape for him as well. Are they really pastoral in their own circumstances? Like the huge amount of British children's literature I consume on the stack, these are quite suspicious utopias. The hero is almost the same, white, wealthy except for romantic poverty, all people will be deleted. If Britain brutally conquered and defended colonies had completely entered, they were mainly due to the romantic effect (thinking of the little princess who dreams of subcontinent curry air in her attic) )
