长篇小说《光芒渐逝的年代》是德国作家欧根·鲁格的第一部作品,小说一经问世就获得德国图书奖。在这部具有强烈自传色彩的小说里,作家将自己的家族传奇与德国历史联系起来,通过家族传记呈现五十年民主德国的变迁。小说以独到的眼光、幽默的笔触和开阔的胸襟创造了一个回忆的空间,其思想性和文学性超越了其他许多反映前东德历史的作品。 The novel “The Era of Light” is the first work by the German writer Eugen Rugg. The novel won the German Book Award upon its publication. In this strongly autobiographical novel, the writer links his family’s lexicon to German history and presents a fifty-year history of democratic Germany through family biographies. The novel creates a space of memories with a unique vision, humorous brushwork and open mindedness. Its ideological and literary nature transcends many other works that reflect the history of the former East Germany.
