摘要
索尔·贝娄是20世纪著名的犹太裔作家,他在二战后美国文坛上的地位可以与海明威、福克纳相媲美。从发表第一部短篇小说开始,索尔·贝娄一共出版了11部长篇小说及其他几部短篇小说、散文集和剧本等。因对当代文化富于人性的理解和精妙的分析,索尔·贝娄摘取了1976年的诺贝尔文学奖桂冠。在索尔·贝娄的创作硕果中,《赫索格》这一长篇力作奠定了他在美国文坛上的地位。
虽然索尔·贝娄一直否认自己犹太作家的身份,但是他的作品中却自觉或者不自觉地透露出丰富的犹太性。并且正是由于这些犹太因素,使他的作品内涵丰富,表现形式独特。因此,要理解索尔·贝娄的作品,首先需要解读他作品中的犹太性。
本文旨对《赫索格》中的犹太性进行细读和文本剖析,以更好地理解作品中深刻的内涵及意义。
关键词: 《赫索格》;流浪;受难;困惑;犹太性
Abstract
Saul Bellow is a famous Jewish-American writer of the twentieth century; his stature in the postwar American literature can only pared to that of Hemingway or Faulkner earlier in this century. Since his first short story was published, he had produced a substantial body of fiction including eleven novels, a great number of short stories, some plays and critical essays. He was awarded the Noble Prize for his human understanding and subtle analysis of contemporary culture in 1976. Among Bellow’s works, Herzog can be recognized as his representative masterpiece. Through Herzog, Saul Bellow achieved great ess and confirmed his status in the American literary arena.
Though Saul Bellow rejected his identity as a Jewish-American writer, his works have abundant Jewish elements. It is these factors that give his works profound connotations and unique style. Therefore, to appreciate Bellow’s works, we should first understand these Jewish factors in them.
This thesis aims to analyze the Jewish factors in Herzog through textual analysis in order to uncover the rich connotations in the novel.
