索尔·贝娄本是犹太人,于1915年出生在加拿大魁北克省的拉辛,曾经荣获社会学和人类学学士学位,其一生创作了20多部小说,给人们留下了很多可贵的精神食粮。《更多人死于心碎》是贝娄晚年的一部作品,于1987年首次发表。他十分擅长刻画悲剧的命运和人生,所以这部作品是其一贯风格的延续。在充满消极悲观的故事情节中,贝娄深深地痛斥了美国当时的社会背景。小说的男主人公名为贝恩,其一生都在追求浪漫圆满的爱情,但却为之付出了惨痛的人生,他在孤独的生活了15年后才与玛蒂尔达成婚。贝娄对于悲剧的追求已经无法允许浪漫美满的结局发生,所 Saul Bellow, originally a Jew, was born in Racine, Quebec, Canada, in 1915 and received a bachelor’s degree in sociology and anthropology. In his lifetime, he created more than 20 novels, leaving many valuable spiritual food . “More people die of heartbreak” is Bellow’s later work, first published in 1987. He is very good at portraying the tragedy and life, so this work is a continuation of its usual style. In a story full of negative pessimism, Bellow deeply denounced the then social context in the United States. The novel’s heroine, Bain, has been pursuing a romantic, fulfilling love all his life, but has paid a terrible pain in his life. He married Matilda only 15 years after living alone. Bellow’s pursuit of the tragedy has been unable to allow romantic happy ending
