The Nobel Prize in Literature 1954 was awarded to Ernest Hemingway "for his mastery of the art of narrative, most recently demonstrated in The Old Man and the Sea, and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style".
There isn't any symbolism. The sea is the sea. The old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark are all sharks no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know. --Ernest Hemmingway
海明威是20世纪美国文坛最为人所熟知的作家,其写作风格受昔日担任记者的影响,文字精简。在其作品中,荣获诺贝尔文学奖的英文经典名着《老人与海》,是海明威晚年最具代表性的作品。其内容没有过多的角色,没有浮华不实的叙述,以单纯精练的笔触描写一位老人与大海及命运的搏斗。《老人与海》于1952年问世以来,在文坛上一直享誉盛名,甚至让海明威独特的写作风格在当时的美国文坛掀起一股仿效风潮。
在此部作品中,海明威用独树一帜的笔锋刻画出生动的场景,鲜活地表达出老人的内心对话与孤寂。让人彷彿置身其中,嗅闻着大海的气息;看着鱼群在海中穿梭,心情也随着老人的心境起伏跌宕。而其中最激动人心的,莫过于老人不愿向命运低头的坚毅及一份不轻易放弃的精神。在与大鱼缠斗的过程中,数度的困境和打击,都无法让他退缩。即使旁人投以嘲笑或怜悯,老人也不自暴自弃,仍踏着自己坚定的步伐,走在自己的人生路上。
这位老人正是海明威笔下典型的硬汉(Code Hero):
一位正直磊落的汉子,在沸沸腾腾、如牛负重、充满磨难的世界里,
仍能始终秉持着骨气和勇气,坚忍不拔。
A man who lives correctly, following the ideals of honor, courage, and endurance
in a world that is sometimes chaotic, often stressful, and always painful.
作者简介
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)
is one of the most famous American writers of the 20th century. He received the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 for The Old Man and the Sea, and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. His novel usually focuses on people living essential, dangerous lives--soldiers, fishermen, athletes, bullfighters--who meet the pain and difficulty of their existence with stoic courage. Many of his works are classics of American literature.
海明威(1899 - 1961)
是美国20世纪最着名的作家,出生于伊利诺州。在当时大环境的影响下,海明威高中毕业后就进入《堪城星报》担任记者,这对他日后的创作影响甚远。尽管他只在《星报》待了半年,但却形成了他精简的写作风格。
自1923年起,海明威陆续发表了许多作品,其中以《太阳依旧升起》(The Sun Also Rises, 1926)、《战地钟声》(For Whom the Bell Tolls, 1940)、《老人与海》(The Old Man and the Sea, 1952)最为人所熟知。《老人与海》更分别在1953年及1954年为他拿下普利兹奖和诺贝尔文学奖。
海明威的作品中普遍展现出不屈不挠的精神,有人认为海明威在作品中影射出自己的影子,道出写作路上的艰辛。然而海明威晚年因百病缠身而抑郁寡欢,结束了自己精彩的一生,令人惋惜。
