伊恩·麦克尤恩的小说《黑犬》以1946年到1989年的欧洲社会为叙事背景,以不同视角勾勒不同时期和文化背景下各色人物的创伤遭遇。小说浓墨重彩地叙述了二战期间德国纳粹对犹太人的残暴杀戮和1989年柏林墙倒塌之际新纳粹幽灵的暴行。麦克尤恩揭示出在个人内心深处和欧洲社会潜伏着邪恶的欲念或抑郁,将“个人抑郁”和“文化抑郁”象征性地用“黑犬”形象来表达。这反映了作家力求揭示和批判当代欧洲政治文化中的致命症结,表达对生命存在和人类命运的担忧。
Ian McEwan’s novel “Black Dog” takes the European society from 1946 to 1989 as its narrative background, sketching the traumatic experiences of various characters in different periods and cultures from different perspectives. The novel offers a superb account of the atrocities committed by the German Nazis during World War II against Jews and the nefarious ghosts of the Nazis during the 1989 Berlin Wall collapse. McEwan reveals the lurking desire or depression lurking in the depths of an individual’s heart and in European society, symbolically expressing “personal depression” and “cultural depression” with “black dog” images. This reflects the writer’s efforts to reveal and criticize the deadly crux in contemporary European political culture and to express his fears about the existence of life and the destiny of mankind.
