叶灵凤《拿撒勒人》中的弥赛亚与超人情结

叶灵凤的小说《拿撒勒人》写一个无力负担学费的大学生蔚生,在母亲过世、情人离去、经济困窘的孤立状况下,精神上转而求助于基督教与尼采超人哲学,在某种程度上代表了五四时期现代文学的一个特殊现象,亦即某些作家不但接受基督教文化的影响,创作时挪用、改写基督教文本、典故与神学,并且吸纳尼采"超人"思想,形成一股带有内在冲突的创作活力。

Messiah in Nazarene by Ye Lingfeng and Complex of Superman

The novel Nazarene by Ye Lingfeng describes a university student Wei Sheng, who cannot afford his tuition fees. After his mother passed away and his lover deserted him, he was in desperate economic conditions. He had no way but to resort spiritually to Christianity and Nietzsche’s philosophy of supermen. Wei Sheng represents a special phenomenon in the period of May the Fourth Movement in a sense. In other words, some writers not only accepted the influence of the culture of Christianity, thus borrowing and adapting the texts, allusions, and theology of Christianity in writing, but also absorbing the thought of superman of Nietzsche, thereby formulating creative vigor with inner conflict.
