内容简介


With four elegant and beautifully crafted novels Julien Gracq has established himself as one of France's premier postwar novelists. A mysterious and retiring figure, Gracq characteristically refused the Goncourt, France's most distinguished literary prize, when it was awarded to him in 1951 for this book. As the latest work in the Twentieth-Century Continental Fiction Series, Gracq'a masterpiece is now available for the first time in English. Set in a fictitious Mediterranean port city, The Opposing Shore is the first-person account of a young aristocrat sent to observe the activities of a naval base. The fort lies at the country's border; at its feet is the bay of Syrtes. Across the bay is territory of the enemy who has, for three hundred years, been at war with the narrator's countrymen; the battle has become a complex, tacit game in which no actions are taken and no peace declared. As the narrator comes to understand, everything depends upon a boundary, unseen but certain, separating the two sides. Besides the narrator there are two other main characters, the dark and laconic captain of the base and a woman whose compex relations to both sides of the war brings the narator deeper into the story's web. For many French readers The Opposing Shore (published as Le rivage des Syrtes ), with its theme of transgressions and boundaries, spoke to the issue of defeat and the desire to fail: a paticularly sensitive motif in postwar French literature. But there is nothing about the novel tying it either to France or to the 1950s; in fact, Gracq's novel, with its elaborate, richly detailed prose, will be of greater interest now than at any point in the last twenty years.

作者简介


朱利安·格拉克又译于连·格拉克,本名路易·普瓦提埃,是在法国和西方享有极大声誉的当代作家,为二十世纪法国文学巨擘之一,“超现实主义第二浪潮”的主要旗手。他生于1910年,童年时代在乡间度过。从11岁开始,他在南特一所学校求学,开始长达7年之久的寄宿生活。在此期间,他广泛涉猎了大量文学作品,为后来的创作生涯奠定了坚实的基础。1930年至1933年,格拉克就读于巴黎政治学院外交系,进一步扩大了知识范围与政治视野。1934年至1939年在一所中学任教,直至第二次世界大战爆发。

1937年,格拉克发表了他的处女作《阿尔戈古堡》,被布勒东称为“超现实主义第一次自由自在的回潮”。1945《阴郁的美男子》问世,1949年,他以格拉尔的故事为题材创作《渔夫国王》,该作品被搬上舞台后招致非议,为此格拉克撰写《厚脸皮的文学》予以回驳。1950年,他出版了蜚声文坛的《沙岸风云》,这部历时4载完成的杰作一经发表即引起轰动,他被授予法国最高文学奖——龚古尔文学奖,但作家本人拒绝接受这一殊荣,此举在文学界引起了轩然大波。50年代至80年代,格拉克创作的主要文学作品有两部小说和一部短篇小说集,即1958年出版的《林中阳台》,1970年的小说集《半岛》和1986年的《涓涓细流》。除此以外,他还发表了大量短小精悍的杂文和评论为主的文学批评文章,1967年问世的《癖好》收入杂文13篇,对象征主义诗歌的先驱之一洛特雷阿蒙和提倡分析心理学的荣格等人的作品进行了深入分析。1967年和1974年相继出版的《首字花饰I》和《首字花饰II》以片断形式出现,具有浓厚的自传色彩。1981年发表的《读读写写》则表达了作者本人对语言、阅读、艺术、历史等诸多领域的见解和感受。年届九旬的这位文学大师至今仍笔耕不辍,1985年出版了《城市轮廓》,1988年推出《七座小山丘》,1992年初版《大路笔记》,2002年又推出新作《维护〉。一进发表的各类著作共18部,其中评论5部。
