Serpent's Knot [Chinese]

By [法]弗朗索瓦·莫里亚克

"Louis, a lawyer of humble origins, miserly wealth and vicious cold-bloodedness, will be trapped in a cage of suspicion and revenge. On the verge of old age, he wrote a suicide note accusing his wife and children, in which he poured out his grievances, accusing his wife of her past history of love, reproaching her for her coldness, and detesting his children's covetousness of his inheritance. He plans to take revenge on his family by handing over his property to his illegitimate son. However, an accidental illness turns his accusations and hatred into nothing, and his suicide note into a confession and repentance. At the moment of death, he faces the distorted soul bred by resentment, and in love and faith, he unravels the "serpent's knot" that has haunted him all his life. The alienation of love, the cracks in marriage, the calculations of intimacy, the loss of faith ...... Moriak reveals the fatal knots woven in intimate relationships with a cold brush, and lets hatred and salvation struggle fiercely in the dying candlelight. "Impotence to love is a disease, and the only way to learn how to love is to cut through the serpent's knot."
