生存的博弈与超人的胜利——解析杰克·伦敦《热爱生命》中自然主义与浪漫主义的融合

The Fighting for Life and the Triumph of Superman──An Interpretation of the Integration of Naturalism and Romanticism in “Love of Life” by Jack London

杰克·伦敦"北疆传奇"小说是强悍的自然主义与温情的浪漫主义的结合。在《热爱生命》中,一方面伦敦将主人公置于北疆冷漠的环境、饥饿和死亡的现实威胁中,让他明白自然力的强大和自身的渺小;另一方面伦敦赋予淘金者正视严酷现实的勇气,战胜逆境的坚强意志以及成为强者超人的英雄气概,使他相信自己拥有搏击自然的精神力量,从而赢得在北疆的生存权利。因此,《热爱生命》是一部自然主义和浪漫主义有机融合的短篇力作。

The Northland Tales by Jack London is the integration of powerful naturalism and warm romanticism. In ＂Love of Life＂, on one hand, London endangers his hero in the cold Northland, hunger and death to make him understand the power of Nature and his own insignificance; on the other hand, London endows the gold hunter with courage to face the harsh reality, strong will to overcome the adversity and heroic spirit to become a superman, so that he can believe his own will and power to fight the Nature and win the right to live in the Northland. Hence, ＂Love of Life＂ is a powerful short story that integrates naturalism and romanticism harmniously.
