2012諾貝爾文學獎得主──莫言，最重要的長篇代表作之一 透過六世輪迴的生命之眼，講述五十年土地情感。 「莫言將夢幻寫實主義與民間故事、歷史和當代社會合而為一。」──諾貝爾獎委員會 The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was awarded to Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary". 佛說：「生死疲勞，從貪欲起，少欲無為，身心自在。」 這是一部關於鄉土中國當代史的大敘述。小說以一位土地改革時期被槍斃的地主，不斷經歷著六道輪迴的轉世，由此觀看中國農村土地的變革。 《生死疲勞》敘述了一九五○年到二○○○年中國農村五十年的歷史，圍繞土地這個沉重的話題，莫言闡釋了農民與土地的種種關係，並透過生死輪迴的藝術圖像，展示了新中國成立以來中國農民的生活和他們頑強、樂觀、堅韌的精神。 在這部大敍述裡，有家族的仇恨，有情欲的糾葛，有驚人的貧困和匱乏帶來的焦慮，有狂熱的理想國追求的幻滅和失落，有新的市場化之下鄉土中國的新希望、困擾和挑戰…… 這是一部向中國古典小說和民間敍事致敬的重要著作。莫言以「章回體」的形式，將六道輪迴這一東方意象融涵在全書的字裡行間，寫出了中國農民對生命無比執著的頌歌和悲歌。全書將中國人龐雜喧譁的苦難經驗化為純美準確的詩篇，莊嚴而寧靜，祥和而自然。 / 《生死疲勞》：以「動物之眼」講述五十年鄉村史 小說的敘述者，是土地改革時被槍斃的一個地主，他認為自己雖有財富，並無罪惡，因此在陰間裡他為自己喊冤。在小說中他不斷地經歷著六道輪迴，一世為人、一世為馬、一世為牛、一世為驢……每次轉世為不同的動物，都未離開他的家族，離開這塊土地。小說正是通過他的眼睛，準確說，是各種動物的眼睛來觀察和體味中國農村的變革。 莫言親自解讀：鄉村人物的個性價值 ．寫作速度創紀錄。莫言只用43天寫就長達55萬字的《生死疲勞》。最多一天寫作1.65萬字，平均一天只睡三小時，突破了他自己寫作速度的最高紀錄，自稱睡覺時也有一半的腦細胞在工作，有的夢也變成現實。 ．書名《生死疲勞》來自佛經中的一句：「生死疲勞，從貪欲起，少欲無為，身心自在。」莫言說，佛教認為人生最高境界是成佛，只有成佛才能擺脫令人痛苦的六道輪迴，而人
2012諾貝爾文學獎得主──莫言最具代表性的中短篇小說集：《透明的紅蘿蔔》《藏寶圖》《紅耳朵》《球狀閃電》「莫言將夢幻寫實主義與民間故事、歷史和當代社會合而為一。」──諾貝爾獎委員會The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was awarded to Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".／《透明的紅蘿蔔》莫言：我重讀〈透明的紅蘿蔔〉這篇小說，雖然能從中看出許多笨句和敗筆，但我也知道，我再也寫不出這樣的小說了。收入這套中篇小說集中的作品，基本上是以我的高密東北鄉為背景寫的，但風格還是有變化，有的質樸，有的荒誕，有的幽默，有的妖魅……讀小說有點像嚼檳榔，或者說，我的小說有點像檳榔，喜歡者會被它的古怪味道吸引並嚼之上癮，不喜歡者則入口即吐。因之猜想，我這套書的讀者，都是我的老讀者，他們或她們都是我的朋友。我就是為朋友在寫作啊。朋友們從這些中篇裡，大約可以讀出一個年輕時的莫言和比較年輕時的莫言，這應該是故事之外的收穫。──莫言本書收錄莫言九篇重要中篇小說：透明的紅蘿蔔、爆炸、金髮嬰兒、歡樂、你的行為使我們恐懼、懷抱鮮花的女人、夢境與雜種、幽默與趣味、流水。其中，莫言成名代表作〈透明的紅蘿蔔〉，講述的是一個關於「飢餓」的故事：一個在運河工地幹活的十二歲「黑孩」，因飢餓難耐，到旁邊的菜地裡拔了一根紅蘿蔔充饑，被抓到後，上百人圍著他召開批鬥大會，人們高呼口號，必欲滅之而後快。「黑孩」後來逃走了。在不斷的貧困飢餓交雜中，他看到了一幅奇特美麗的景像：泛著藍藍幽光的鐵砧子上，有一個金色的紅蘿蔔。紅蘿蔔的形狀和大小像一個大梨，拖著一條長尾巴，尾巴上的根根鬚鬚像金色的羊毛。紅蘿蔔晶瑩透明，玲瓏剔透……，小說將黑孩的面對「飢餓」與困頓生活的無盡想像與悲涼，淋漓呈現，令人動容。莫言的小說，一向以「夢幻寫實」的豐富想像力著稱，他擅長說一個好聽的故事，像一位調皮的孩子，大膽、奔放，言人不敢言，寫人不敢寫的題材，同時在充滿幽默的故事中，寫出對家鄉高密的關注、對人性的深刻思索。這本中篇小說集，可以看到莫言成熟的寫作風格，以及他創作歷程階段性的轉變。 是研究莫言作品的讀者必備的書單，同時對喜愛莫言的讀者，絕對是另一個精彩的閱讀享受。／《
