作为美国当代文学领域中的代表性人物,索尔·贝娄尤其关注现代人的生存状况与精神追求。他的创作重心主要集中在知识分子身上,一生中一共创作了6部有关知识分子形象的小说。在这些作品中,他以高度的社会责任感、深厚的文化积淀和敏锐的洞察力赋予了这些知识分子不同的品格与价值,基本上可以分为两种类型,即思考型的知识分子与行动型的知识分子。他们身上都有着共同的精神特质,即乐观主义精神与现代西西弗精神,是一种在社会环境不够好的情况下也要赢得尊严的乐观性追求与永远的反对荒谬的精神。
As a representative figure in the field of American contemporary literature, Saul Bellow pays special attention to the living condition and spiritual pursuit of modern people. His creative focus is mainly on intellectuals, creating a total of six novels about the image of intellectuals in his life. In these works, he gave these intellectuals different qualities and values with a high sense of social responsibility, profound cultural accumulation and keen insight. Basically, they can be divided into two types, that is, thinker type intellectuals and action type Intellectuals. They all share the same spiritual qualities of optimism and the modern spirit of Sisyphus as an optimistic pursuit of eternal dignity and an absurd spirit of eternal opposition in situations where the social environment is not good enough.
