当代家族小说的历史书写

在中国当代小说创作中,家族小说以其独特的思想深度与艺术力度而独领风骚,它们常常将一个家族兴衰的描写与整个民族历史的书写结合起来,追求文学的史诗品格,借家族之间物质利益的冲突、权力追逐与情感纠葛来表现自己对特定历史的感受与理解,对置身于历史发展过程中个人命运的思考,创作与历史观念的变化使作家能更自由地书写自己对历史事件的重新理解,这样既让读者看到了历史本身丰富和复杂的一面,也给家族叙事增添了艺术的永恒魅力。

Writing the Contemporary Novel of a Family through History

In Chinese contemporary novels,the family novels generally depicted the prosperity and decline of a family involving the history of the entire nation in pursuit of the literary quality of historical poetry.They showed the authors' thoughts and feelings about particular history and personal fate in the historical development,by depicting the clash of interests,power chasing and emotional entanglement between families.With this method the authors may much more freely write about their apprehension with the historical events based on their changes of creation and history conception.By this way not only the reader can see the abundance and complexity of the history,but also the permanent artistic fascination is added to the family recounting.
