音乐,艺术,文学在书中的重要性,
-- 福斯特认为社会只展现人类精神的一部分,另一部分只能通过艺术来表现。尤其音乐是连结人类生存方方面面的纽带。因为音乐是宇宙中最有据可循的东西,稳定与和谐是音乐的特点。作为一个情窦初开的少女,Lucy理不清自己的真是感情。她的弹奏渲泄了内心的纠结,困惑和迷茫。是有序性的音乐帮助她理清心中的muddle,帮她找到了自己的真实感情,达到内心和谐。
-- 希腊,罗马文化是西方文化的奠基石,佛罗伦萨是文艺复兴的摇篮, 到处充满优雅着艺术气息,整个城市就像一座大博物馆。佛罗伦萨有许多著名建筑、雕刻、绘画。博物馆、华丽的宫殿和很多教堂中,收藏着无数的艺术珍品。这个古老的城市养育了大批的建筑师、雕刻家、画家、文学家和诗人。
-- 希腊精神指的是希腊文化从古到今的精华。 它强调人的现世的世俗生活! 肯定人的个人人生价值! 意大利是古希腊文化的发展地和文艺复兴的发生地, 经过几千年的历史沉淀, 追求个人价值! 追求爱情和精神自由的希腊精神己经在意大利的土壤中扎根。福斯特受希腊神话文化的滋养,传承英国固有的文化精髓,兼收并蓄时下哲人智者的进步思想,旁征博引,显示出深厚的文化底蕴。
