照出人类的灵魂——沈石溪笔下狼形象的象征意蕴探析

An Allusion to the Human Soul——On the Symbolizing Meaning of Wolf Image in Shen Shixi's Novels

沈石溪笔下狼形象的塑造在当代动物小说创作中占据独树一帜的地位。其象征意蕴的关键恰恰就在于:找到了狼世界与人类世界的契合点,既展示了狼在大自然中本真的生活状态,又"照出人类的灵魂",表现了他对人类对社会的剖析和思考。而这些对生存竞争的独到领悟,应该说,是与他个人的经历和情感体验分不开的。

Literature is the literature of man. Shen Shixi is the only writer who has given a vivid description of wolf image in modern animal novels. That is because he has found the best fitting point for the wolf world and the human world. In his animal novels, he has not only revealed the true living state of the wolf in nature~ but also alluded to the human soul through his writing, which shows his anatomy and thinking of human and society. All his perception about survival competition owes much to his experiences and emotion.
