论儒勒·凡尔纳的海洋意识

On Jules Verne's Ocean Consciousness

儒勒·凡尔纳是西方海洋文学史上的一座重镇,他的作品体现了19世纪下半叶欧洲的海洋意识。在经历了早期工业革命和浪漫主义的狂飙突进之后,追求个人自由和民族独立成为时代发展的主旋律。地理大发现时代开辟的海上航道成为实施殖民统治的海上通衢,地球上的蓝色文明为发现海洋的丰饶欢欣鼓舞。海洋的阔大与纯净影响了凡尔纳的性格,也深度介入他的文学创作。海洋意识是解读凡尔纳文学作品和精神世界的一把钥匙。

Jules Verne is an important person in the history of western sea literature. His works reflect European ocean consciousness of the last half of the 19 th century. After the early stage of industrial revolution and romanticism,the pursuit of personal freedom and national independence has become the main theme. The Great Discoveries of Geography provided seaways which later become the marine thoroughfare of colonial rule. The mother countries were jubilant for the marine abundance. The wideness and purity of the sea influenced Verne's character and his literary creation. Ocean consciousness leads a way to interpret Verne's literary works and spiritual world.
