乡关何处?--克里斯托夫·海因小说《征服土地》中的“家乡”

Landnahme:Where Is My Hometown?

二战后德裔居民从中东欧地区被大规模驱逐并逃亡的历史在很长一段时期在德国是一个禁忌的话题。德国作家克里斯托夫·海因于二〇〇四年出版的长篇小说《征服土地》以“家乡”作为全书的核心概念,以丧失故土与新建家园为主题,通过描述本地人与外来者之间的矛盾斗争以及作为外来移民的主人公成长与融入之路,再现德国半个世纪风云变幻的历史。

The history of large-scale deportation and flight of German residents from Central and Eastern Europe after World War II was a taboo topic in Germany for a long time.The novel Landnahme,written by the German writer Christoph Hein and published in 2004,uses hometown as the core concept of the whole book and takes the loss of hometown and building the new homeland as the theme.Through describing the contradiction and struggle between the local people and the outsiders,as well as the growth and integration of the protagonist as an immigrant,it reproduces the changeable history of Germany for half a century.
