李劼人“大河小说”艺术探讨

Art of Li Jieren's "River Novels"

李劼人是中国现代文学史上一位相当出色的长篇小说家。他的三部连续性长篇小说《死水微澜》、《暴风雨前》、《大波》无疑是中国现代长篇历史小说的开端。小说在结构模式,人物塑造,风俗特征,语言特色等方面进行了多角度的突破。它根植于法国19世纪小说,以"风俗史"、"非英雄"的审美追求,展现出了现代历史小说新的艺术境界。

Li Jieren is a good novelist in the history of Chinese modem literature. His three novels continuity,＂ Stagnant Water＂ ,＂ The Tempest ago＂, and ＂Huge Wave＂, are the beginning of modern Chinese long historical novels. His novels have carried out multi-angle breakthrough in the structural model, characterization, customs, and identity and linguistic characteristics. They are rooted in the 19^th century French novel and pursue the aesthetic of ＂customs and history＂ and ＂non-heroes＂. The modern historical novels show a new art realm.
