《诺斯托罗莫》与康拉德的艺术主张

约瑟夫·康拉德的长篇社会小说《诺斯托罗莫》以其史诗般恢弘的场面、独特新颖的创作手法和丰富的思想内涵成为二十世纪的经典之作。我国学者对它的介绍和研究远为不够。结合康拉德的艺术主张,从结构布局部、语言和人物刻画方面对这部小说进行了阐释,指出康拉德的艺术主张不仅有利于作者多层次、多角度、更加客观真实地反映事件,再现历史,而且大大提高了作品的丰厚性、含蓄性和作品题旨的多义性。

Nostromo and Conrad''''s Artistic Views

Joseph Conrad's social novel Nostromo becomes a classic in the twentieth century with its epically extensive scenes, original construction and profound ideology. But the study of it in China is far from being enough. The novel is interpreted in the light of its plot, language and character portrayal. It holds that in Nostromo Conrad's artistic views have been integrated into his way of handling the language and presenting the plot to heighten the aesthetic value of the novel. This way of constructing the novel enables the author to convey his personal experience and aesthetic ideas, to reflect society and human history more objectively and to enrich the implicitness and ambiguity of the novel.
