前言

  2007年,多麗斯·萊辛(1919-)榮膺諾貝爾文學(xué)獎,評委會對萊辛及其作品的評價是“她用懷疑、熱情、構(gòu)想的力量來審視一個分裂的文明,其作品如同一部女性經(jīng)驗的史詩”。萊辛于1919年出生在伊朗,1924年隨父母遷居非洲南羅得西亞(今稱津巴布韋),結(jié)過兩次婚,育有三個孩子,1949年帶著最小的孩子回英國倫敦定居。萊辛是一位多產(chǎn)、勤奮的作家,創(chuàng)作了50多部文學(xué)作品。文學(xué)樣式有小說、短篇小說、非小說類作品(在萊辛作品中指諸如《追尋英國人》這樣的非虛構(gòu)作品)、詩歌、自傳和戲劇。作品多以女性為主體,涉及的題材廣泛,幾乎涵蓋了人類生活的方方面面:個人和集體之間微妙復(fù)雜的關(guān)系、非洲殖民地生活、青少年的困惑和無奈、中年婦女的精神崩潰、老年婦女的孤獨(dú)、第二次世界大戰(zhàn)、戰(zhàn)后頹敗的倫敦、共產(chǎn)主義活動、核武器等問題。可以說。讀者,特別是女性讀者,都可以在她的作品中看到自己的精神世界:困惑、不安、沖動和希望。

內(nèi)容概要

章節(jié)摘錄

  Lessing sets many of her stories in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe),a place she calls Zambesia in Children of voilence sequence, so a basic knowledgeof Southern Rhodesia is a prerequisite for understanding her African writings.Southern Rhodesia is located between two rivers the Zambezi River andthe Limpopo: the former in the north separates it from Zambia (formerlyNorthern Rhodesia); the latter serves as its southern border from SouthAfrica. Known as central Africa, it is to the northeast of the state of Botswanaand to the west of Mozambique. The northern and southern Rhodesia wasnamed in 1895 after the British entrepreneur Cecil John Rhodes in memoryof the great achievements Rhodes scored in establishing white settlementin the territory From then till 1923, Rhodes and the British South AfricaCompany were empowered to run the count. In 1923, Rhodesia officiallybecame a Crown Colona self-governing company. Ruled by the British,it was different from its neighbour, South Africa, and its governmentmaintained its difference from the latter. It dreaded to be incorporatedinto the latter, which was ruled by Afrikaners, and this partly caused greatantagonism between the colony and the Afrikaner country. Meanwhile, thecolony needed South Africa rather than England to support its apartheidpolicy for “from the forties onward it became increasingly clear that Britainwould be less likely than South Africa to support perpetual domination of thecountrys blacks, a strategy regarded by the settlers as essential to their verysurvival.”(Bertelsen 30) This particular situation made English settlers in thecolony foster and harbour a complex feeling toward "home" and deepenedtheir sense of homelessness.
