摘 要: 《沉寂的星球》作为C.S.路易斯科幻小说“太空三部曲”的第一部,一方面延续了路易斯一贯的诗性写作风格,具有很高的文学价值;另一方面也对20世纪初英国工业社会的弊病和科技思维崇拜进行了有力批判。作者以高度的哲思概括力,让小说的三位主人公分别展示了科学家、商人和人文学者在现代社会中的特殊地位与作用,深刻揭示了现代社会合情合理面貌下的荒谬与残忍。在这部充满才华与想象力的小说中,路易斯还特别澄清了寻求权力与控制的科技知识与智慧的区别,点明真正的智慧才能帮助人类及地球避免“失落”,走向未来宇宙。 |

Abstract: Out of the Silent Planet is the first book of C.S.Lewis’ science fiction novels The Space Trilogy. It features Lewis’s poetic writing, which is of great literary value. This novel also has solid criticism on the ills of British industrial society and the scientism in the early twentieth century. With the excellent philosophical generalization, the author lets the three characters present the special position and role of scientists, capitalists and liberal art scholars in the modern society, and reveals the absurdity and cruelty under the seemingly reasonable society. In this very talented and imaginative novel, Lewis distinguished wisdom from science and technology knowledge which sought power and control, and pointed out that true wisdom can help mankind and Earth avoid being “lost” and go forward to the future universe. |
