小说虚构与历史叙述——论司马辽太郎的《项羽与刘邦》

摘要

司马辽太郎的《项羽与刘邦》围绕秦汉时期权力／权利系统的更迭，生动地描绘了各种势力集团的明争暗斗，以及在这些争斗中各种人物的命运。作者从文化、政治、经济的角度探索历史演变的奥秘，不乏独到的见解。但历史书写的冲动又使作者抑制不住地在作品中大谈“历史观”。这些所谓的“历史观”与该小说的叙述逻辑自相矛盾，在一定程度上损害了小说的艺术性。%In Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, Shiba RyStaro vividly described the in-fighting among various blocs and the fate of various characters during a change of power and rights system. He explored the mysteries of historical evolution from the perspective of culture, politics, and economy, and included many original opinions. But on the other hand, the writer was driven by an irrepressible urge of historical writing to talk about the "view of history" in this work. This so-called "view of history" is in contradiction with the historical novel narrative, so it may be harmful to the artistic quality of the novel.
