评帕特里克·怀特的《风暴眼》

A critical review of Patrick WHITE'S The Eye of Storm

本文认为《风暴眼》是现代荒诞文学又一里程碑式的力作。它深刻地揭示了作品中当代人内心世界的精神危机，展现了20世纪下半叶澳大利亚上流社会中人与社会。人与人、人与自我的矛盾和冲突，与此同时，《风暴眼》向我们展示了当代资本主义社会普遍存在的荒诞性。

This paper holds that The Eye of Storm is another milestone of the modarn absurdisticschool. In his novel, Patrick WHITE discloses incisively the spiritual crisis in the inner world of hiscontemporaries, unfolds before the readers' eyes the contradictions and conflicts between people andsociety, among individuals, as well as those inside oneself in the upper-class society in Australia duringthe second half of the twentieth century, and at the same time shows us the universal absurdity andpreposterousness that exist in contemporary capitalist society.
