摘要
古尔纳小说创作的核心主题是关于难民、移民等飘零人物的书写,但《最后的礼物》的书写却颇为独特,因为它不再和古尔纳的其他小说一样仅描写这些飘零人物的个人经历和状态,而是书写了移民阿巴斯一家,重点讲述移民经历对家庭成员的影响以及他们最后的自救与和解。移民问题在本质上就是移民个人与家庭、族群、国家等共同体之间的关系问题,古尔纳正是在共同体的视域下呈现这一家庭不同成员所遭遇的问题以及他们各自的经历,力图揭示只有从家庭关系、与陌生人之间的关系等共同体角度去考虑才能更好地理解移民这一群体。
The utmost important theme in Gurnah’s literary works is the portrayal of those wandering people such as refugees and migrants.Among all of related writings,The Last Gift occupies a special position because it narrates a story of the whole family of Abbas,a migrant,telling the influence of migrant experience on family members,their salvation and reconciliation with each other.This is quite different from other novels by Gurnah,which mostly present individual migrants’experiences and states.The problem of migrants is essentially lying in their relationships with communities such as family,ethnic groups,and national states.In this novel,Gurnah presents these family problems and individual experiences from the perspective of community.By this way,Gurnah tries to prove that a better understanding about migrant group could be achieved only if we consider them from the perspectives of community,such as the relationship with family members and strangers.
