《赫索格》是美国作家索尔·贝娄展示现代知识分子处境与命运的代表作。笔者认为 ,主人公赫索格的灵魂受难与现实处境的煎熬体现着两种截然不同的希腊神话精神———日神与酒神。尼采将其归纳为“梦境”与“迷醉”两种艺术精神。本文拟以这两种艺术精神为轴心 ,试图为解构赫索格的精神流变做一新的尝 ,以寻获一种人类理想的自我完善之途。 Herzog is the representative of the American writer Saul Bellow, who shows the situation and destiny of modern intellectuals. The author believes that the protagonist Herzog’s soul suffering and the suffering of the actual situation reflects two completely different Greek mythology - the god of the gods and Bacchus. Nietzsche summarized it as “dreamland” and “enamored” two artistic spirit. This article intends to focus on these two kinds of artistic spirit and tries to find a new way to deconstruct Herzog’s spiritual changes in order to find a way of self-improvement of human ideal.
