有岛武郎(1878—1923)是一位杰出的人道主义者,也是日本近代文坛上一大流派“白桦派”中最富思想性的作家。对中国现代文坛来说,有岛并非一个陌生的异邦作家。鲁迅当年曾高度评价,有岛是资产阶级作家中的一个觉醒者。有岛的文学作品和思想,以其浓厚的理想主义精神和感人的人道主义魅力,广泛地影响了一大批中国现代文学家,如鲁迅、周作人、郭沫若、郁达夫、朱自清等。历史证明,有岛的文学,曾向中国的“五四”新文学吹进了一股清爽的风。 Takeuchi Takehiro (1878-1923) is an outstanding humanist and the most thoughtful writer in the “Birch School”, a major Japanese modern literary genre. For China’s modern literary world, there is a strange island is not a foreign writer. Lu Xun once highly praised that there was an awakening of bourgeois writers in the island. With its strong idealism and touching humanistic charm, Youdao’s literary works and thoughts have widely influenced a large number of Chinese modern writers such as Lu Xun, Zhou Zuoren, Guo Moruo, Yu Dafu and Zhu Ziqing. History has proved that the island literature has once brought a refreshing wind to China’s May 4 new literature.
