东方民族英雄的艰难选择——论黎萨尔的两部长篇小说

The Difficult Choice of the Eastern National Hero——on the two novels written by Jese Rizal

黎萨尔是菲律宾近代史上的重要人物,他的长篇小说《社会毒瘤》和《起义者》反映了他(也代表东方民族英杰)对民族解放道路的探索以及思想上的困惑。文章不是简单地从政治角度上加以评判,而是从文化角度上深入分析,指出其选择上的艰难是由文化启蒙和民族救亡双重压力以及对西方文化和本族文化认识上的矛盾等原因造成的,这些矛盾在小说的创作艺术上也得到了体现。

Jese Rizal is the important figure in the recent history of Phillippine, and the two novels Noli me Tanggere and El Filibusterismo written by him reflect his probe in the path of national liberation and his worry. This paper makes a profound analysis from the angle of culture and insists that his difficult choice was caused by the double pressure of cultural enlightenment and rescuing his nationality and the contradict between his understanding of western culture and national culture, and these contradicts can be found in his creative arts.
