Birth of the Novel

by Gacina Bozidar


The distance was little. At the ice hockey game the goal was scored in the first minute and the television captured the joy of the player. The same player noticed that he likes television and wished to be famous star of the cinema after the sporting career and really he was. The first time he saw studio was in his imagination but the second time it was real. This is to represent that it is logic that good quality of hope will be realization of the hope. The second person was not existing and the writer wrote the story about her and her name was Lady Chaterly. It is okay to comprehend that one real person can imagine something and realize his imagination and what happens when for example a novel's imagined character emerges to become the symbol the world over? It happens and it is simple as to say 'baby' and many believed that the famous character from he novel had had somehow the Life. How? Simply. It is supposition that the fiction is from the spirit who is timeless. This spirit contains the character itself and in the measure of the time the appearance of the famous character is far more advanced then it could be thought and supposed. The spirit of the character is there when the writer himself did not give the life to the character and in this relationship who comes from the pure area of spirit of the story, let us name it the advanced spirit of the story, the link is there. It is just the legend and very much metaphysical legend who was invented, who could be invented. If I'm going to write a story about a character I may believe in this way, in the spirit of this legend that this is the character who is already speaking to me in the manner that I cannot know. This character is advanced in the chronology of my capacity to collect all the elements of the saga into one unique saga who will be emerging from my writing. Who will be managing with my pencil? My simple physical handwriting or if I can suppose the character who now rule over my writing in the invisible way. It is of course impossible but I think that many students believe that for example Alice was alive before she was invented. Somehow alive. And all the others. All the others characters from the novels. Where has been Tom Sawyer all the time? Where has been Huck Finn? When Mark Twain was a boy was he already thinking about Tom Sawyer? Somehow. As far as the music is concerned the Rigby from the famous song from the Beatles? Where all the characters have been? Going back to the silent and peaceful houses where lived the good pupils who presented all these ideas some day, they must have been lonely. But if we speak to the writers, if we can ask the writers if they had impression that at any time their character has lived in their mind, can they say the same thing what the mentioned metaphysics said. The question was posed about the time, unknown time, some spirit who is timeless who represented the character from the novel, some kind of source of mind where all this comes from. The response is already there and it is what is genial. The response is the finished novel itself. Whatever the other response is.
