游历天下与生态忧思——读《斯坦贝克携犬横越美国》

T raveling in America and the Eco-worries of Steinbeck HU TIAN-fu from School of Foreign Languages

长期以来,诺贝尔文学奖获得者,美国著名作家约翰.斯坦贝克被普遍认为是左翼作家,是一个表达了穷人愤怒的“愤怒的作家”,其实,这是一种误解。因为,在今天看来,他还是一位有着深刻的生态思想和生态忧患意识的伟大作家,这一点可以从他晚年的游记《斯坦贝克携犬横越美国》中得到有力的佐证。

John Steinbeck, the famous American novelist who got Nobel Prize for Literature, has been regarded as a Left--wing writer and an angry writer, who has expressed the anger of the poor. As a matter of fact, this is not correct, because he also is a great writer with deep eeo--ideas and sense of eeo--worries, which can be seen clearly from his book Travel with Charley in Search of America, published in his later years.
