摘要
2006年普利策小说奖的获奖作品为杰拉尔丁.布鲁克斯的小说《马奇》。这部小说将历史与虚构相结合,生动再现了美国历史上那场影响至深的内战带给所有参与这场战争的人们精神与肉体上的创伤。尤其值得称道的是,作者借助了美国19世纪一部脍炙人口的小说《小妇人》中的一个人物为自己书中的主人公,将其置于一个不同的场景,由此展开了关于战争对于人的信念和感情的考验的探讨。《马奇》一书丰富了美国文学中关于内战的描写,对于读者了解美国文化和历史以及反思当今世界都颇有裨益。
Geraldine Brooks' novel March, the 2006 Pulitzer Prize winner of fiction,weaves imagination into history and vividly reproduces the traumatic experiences of all those involved in American Civil War. What is remarkable about the novel is that Brooks, through her brilliantly imagined tale of Mr. March, the absent father in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, relocates March at war scenes to explore the moral complexities of the war and the ordeal of faith and feelings. March enriches the narratives of the American Civil War, and is conductive to our understanding of the American culture and history and to our reflections on the present-day world.
