索尔·贝娄的生态观——小说《院长的十二月》的启示

Saul Bellow's Ecology View Revelation of Dean's December

贝娄在其小说中发出了生态批评的声音,其作品呈现了他的和谐生态观以及他对人类生存环境所具有的强烈的忧患意识。小说《院长的十二月》就是一个极好的例证。小说不仅表现了人与自然关系的异化,而且表现了人在与自然的对抗中自我的深刻异化。贝娄在小说中呼唤通过建立一种人与自然的和谐关系,使得人与自然、人与社会关系走上良性发展的轨迹,实现人对自然的"浪漫式回归"、人与自然的美好相遇。

Saul Bellow voices his sound ecological criticism in his novels which displays his strong sense of urgency towards human environment and his harmonious ecological view. His novel Dean’s December is an excellent example. The novel presents not only the alienation between man and nature,but also the profound alienation human being themselves in their confrontation and antagonism with nature. In the novel,Bellow calls for the establishment of a harmonious relationship between men and nature which helps to fundamentally change the natural and social environment,so that the relation between men and nature,men and society will enter into the track of healthy development,thus men can ultimately realize the“romantic return”to nature as well as the beautiful encounter between men and nature.
