Abstract

The reason why animal novels are more attractive than other types of novels is that this theme is the easiest to pierce through the shell of human culture and the various hypocritical appearances of civilized society, and can directly depict the primitive life that combines ugliness and beauty without any concealment.
Human culture and social civilization will constantly update with the changes of the times, but the spiritual core of cruel competition, tenacious survival, and pursuit of glory in life will never change.
Just like in "The Tomb of Elephants": the mother elephant Baya faced a sharp conflict between her child and lover, but still destroyed her love and fulfilled it. In "Twilight", the jackals sacrificed their old age and weak health for the benefit of their population. The various characters in the novel have already transcended simple animal images, projecting and overlapping with humans and society, making you love and hate them, laughing and shedding tears for them.
Therefore, animal novels have more reasons to win readers and pursue immortality.
