寻找与回归:论纳博科夫小说中的俄罗斯传统

Quest and Return:On the Russian Heritage Embroidered in Nabokov’s novels

作为20世纪的一位双语作家,纳博科夫以其瑰丽的艺术想象、怪诞的创作风格以及独特的文学视角获得了世界性的声誉。通常,纳博科夫被归类为后现代美国小说家。然而,在阅读中发现,贯穿纳博科夫作品始终的,不是一些所谓的技巧、风格,而是深深流淌在纳博科夫身上的俄罗斯的血脉,理解纳博科夫的关键,也正在于理解其作品中的俄罗斯传统,即俄罗斯文学中对道德的关怀以及重回家园的情结。

Vladimir Nabokov wins international fame for his uniqueness in artistic creation. More often than not, he is categorized as a post -modernist American writer. His writings, however, reverberate the heartbeat of Russianness, namely, the deep concern for morality as well as the love of the homeland, which all together constitute the key to the un- derstanding of Nabokov.
