南非作家库切及其代表作《耻》

South African Writer Coetzee and His Representative Work Disgrace

库切的小说创作给他带来了世界性的声誉,于2003年获得诺贝尔文学奖。他的小说描述了种族隔离制度造成的悲惨后果,塑造“反英雄”形象,以隐喻的方式表现人类的生存境遇,表现风格简洁精致。其代表作《耻》在虚构的简单情节中有着多层意蕴:既是南非种族隔离废除后“新南非”的现实写照,又是一个后殖民世界中人类种族关系的寓言,还传达出作者无奈的人生观。

Coetzee＇s creation on novel brought him the world-wide fame. He rewarded the Nobel Prize on Literature in 2003. His novels express the tragic outcome resulted from the racial segregated system, giving us a vivid figure of “anti-hero” and displaying the human＇s survival surroundings by the way of metaphor, with the concise and delicate style. His representative work Disgrace contains several implication in the fabricated and simple plot： it is not only the realistic reflection of “the New South Africa” after the elimination of racial segregation in South Africa, but also a fable of human racial relationship in the successive colonial world, what＇s more, it also expresses the helpless view of life of the author.
