What are the works of realism?

Realism is a literary trend that appeared in France and Britain in the 1830s, and later spread to Russia, Northern Europe and the United States, becoming the mainstream of European and American literature in the 19th century and forming the peak of modern European and American literature. Realist literature has a strong social criticism, Gorky called it "critical realism".

Realism, which refers to the loyalty of literature and art to nature, originated from the oldest literary theory in the West, that is, the simple idea of the ancient Greeks that "art is a direct reproduction of nature or an imitation of nature," and that the realism of a work and the degree of resemblance to the object became the criterion for judging the success of a work.

The theoretical meaning of realism includes the requirement of realistically and objectively reproducing social reality, typical theory and historicity.

The works of realist writers include French Stendhal's The Red and the Black, Fanina Fanini and Balzac's The Human Comedy, Eugénie Grandet; British Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield; Russian Tolstoy's War and Peace, Anna Karenina, Resurrection and American Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Campaign for Statehood. Adventures, and Running for Governor.
