摘要
《吉姆爷》是康拉德杰出的心灵探索小说。它以弃船逃生的水手重建生命尊严的故事,揭示了在自然欲求与文化欲求的双重矛盾中,人类生存的困境与崇高性。其悲剧力量、崇高感来自自我超越的内在文化规定与对意义世界的执拗追求。寻找生命的意义之家使吉姆的故事超出大众文化读本,具有普遍的人学价值。
Lord Jim, an outstanding work of Joseph Conrad, is a novel of exploring for one's soul. The story is about how Jim, a chief mate, first abandoned his ship to escape for his life, and then regained his human dignity. It shows the dilemma of human existence and nobility in the dual contradiction between natural desire and cultural desire. Its tragic force and its nobility originate from self-transcend, intrinsic cultural rules and the persistent pursuit for meaningful world. The search for meaningful home makes Jim' s story go beyond popular cultural texts, and it has universal value for human study.
