《围城》与《局外人》存在主义之比较

Comparison of Existentialism in Fortress Besieged and Outsider

加缪的小说《局外人》和钱钟书的小说《围城》,同是存在主义的作品,共同反映了世界的荒诞和人与世界的孤独无助。然而,由于受不同文化影响和作者视角、表达手法的各异,两部小说在叙事结构和精神向度上却是各不相同的。

The novel Outsider by Albert Camus and the novel Fortress Besieged by Qian Zhong-Shu are both the works of existentialism reflecting the absurdness of the world and human beings＇ lonely and helpless feelings towards the world. However, owing to the two writers＇ different cultural backgrounds, different perspectives and styles, the two novels differ in the narrative structure and spiritual trend.
