寻求平等的对话——《漫评人生》中四重父子关系试探

In Seek of an Equal Conversation:An Exploration of Four Classes of Father-Son Relationship in El Criticón

西班牙小说《漫评人生》中的四重父子关系有超越时代的先进性和思想性。书中两位主人公无血缘关系,却有实在的父子情,成了亦师亦友的精神父子。作者巴塔萨尔·格拉西安与自己的血缘父亲也像小说主角一样相互尊重,儿子在父亲的支持下投身天主教事业。而上帝、教会与格拉西安之间的宗教父子关系却有着天然的隔阂,迫使格拉西安探索出一条与天主教无关的救赎之路。作者希望通过作品寻求与读者间的平等对话,让读者能在阅读的过程中跟随主角一起获得成长。通过不断地修炼自身而获得“永恒”的路径,也让格拉西安成为读者心中“永恒”的文学父亲。

The four classes of father-son relationship in the Spanish novel El Criticón has advanced and ideological characteristics that can transcend the times.The two protagonists in the work have no exact blood relationship but have the real emotion between father and son and form a spiritual relationship like teacher-student and friends.The author Baltasar Gracián and his blood father respect each other like the protagonists in the novel,and the son is dedicated to Catholicism with his father’s support.However,there is a natural distance in the religious father-son relationship between the God,the Church,and Gracián,forcing the latter to explore a path of salvation that has nothing to do with Catholicism.The author hopes to seek an equal conversation with readers through his work,so that the latter can grow up with the protagonists during the reading.The path of gaining eternity through continuous self-cultivation also makes Gracián an eternal literary father in the mind of readers.
