索尔·贝娄的小说《赫索格》通过主人公的心理历程展现犹太人在传统与现实的矛盾中体验的对生存的焦虑和对自我身份的探寻。小说中的犹太文化要素——受难和流浪的犹太母题、积极肯定的犹太伦理以及犹太边缘身份叙事——被消解为文学的潜在媒质,显示出形而上的普遍意义,因而赫索格的精神困境代表了西方社会的典型困境。贝娄积极的人生态度,关注人的生存境遇,彰显了作家的人文主义情怀。
Saul Bellow’s novel “Herzog” shows the anxiety of existence and exploration of self-identity experienced by Jews in the contradiction between tradition and reality through the hero’s psychological course. Jewish cultural elements in the novel - the Jewish motif of suffering and wandering, the positive affirmation of Jewish ethics and the narrative of the Jewish marginalized identity - were dismissed as potential mediums of literature, showing the universal metaphysical significance and thus Herzog’s spiritual predicament Represents the typical predicament of Western society. Bellow’s positive attitude to life and his concern for human life highlight the writer’s humanistic sentiments.
