锚与舵的伦理——《静静的顿河》与《丰乳肥臀》中的政治选择及命运归属

The Political Choices and Destiny in The Quiet Don River and The Fat Breasts and Wide Hips

《静静的顿河》与《丰乳肥臀》以家庭生活的描写为核心,通过家族的变迁流溯民族的历史。肖洛霍夫与莫言秉持相近的审美观念,都试图以史诗的笔法全景式地展示动荡时代的历史以及人在特定政治环境中的复杂性。他们超越意识形态的框架限制去书写他们所认识的历史,创造出了诸如葛利高里、司马库这样的"动摇人物"。在对主人公的政治选择与命运归属的精准刻画中,作品达到了更接近历史本质的效果,有了超越时间、地域、文化与种族的生命力。

Both The Quiet Don River and The Fat Breasts and Wide Hips focus on the description of family life and divert to the national history by means of family changes, for both Sholokhov and Mo Yah, with similar aesthetic ideas, have tried to exhibit the history of turbulent times and the complexity of man in a specific political situation epically and panoramically. Both writers have transcended the limits of ideology to describe history as known, thus having delineated such ＂non-staunch fellows＂ as Gregori and Sima Ku. In their respective accurate portrayal of the protagonist＇ s political choice and destiny, both novels have achieved the effect of being closer to nature of history and boasted the vitality of transcending time, regions, culture and race.
