봄바람을 기다리며

Rate this book
더봄 중국문학 전집 2권. 중국 최고 상금 제1회 징둥문학상 대상 수상작. 거페이 장편소설로, 강남지역 농촌마을인 루리자오 촌에 사는 평범하면서도 개성이 강한 인물들을 주인공으로 삼아 1958년부터 2007년까지 이어지는 이야기이다.

공산당 집권, 토지개혁, 대약진운동, 문화대혁명, 개혁개방 등 시대를 뒤흔든 굵직굵직한 사건들 속에서 시골의 작은 마을이, 그 안에 사는 사람들이 어떻게 자신과 가족을 지키는지, 흩어지는지, 변해 가는지를 묵묵히 그들의 발자취를 뒤따라가며 보여준다. 반세기에 걸친 급격한 변화에 따라 가족과 개인의 운명, 마을의 역사를 세밀하게 묘사하고 미래를 그렸다.

거페이의 말을 빌리자면 <봄바람을 기다리며>는 농촌의 사회 현실을 반영한 작품이 아니다. 작가는 평범한 사람들을 다시 이해하는데 더 주목했다고 한다. 그럼에도 중국 구사회인 농촌사회가 종말에 이를 것임을 부인하지는 않는다. 바로 그 때문에 작가는 소설을 통해 우리에게 현대 농촌사회의 윤리와 역사의 변화를 새롭게 바라볼 기회를 준다.

About the author

Ge Fei

58 books70 followers
Ge Fei (Chinese: 格非; pinyin: Gé Fēi; Wade–Giles: Ke Fei, born 1964) is the pen name of novelist Liu Yong (刘勇), considered by many scholars and critics to be one of the most significant of the Chinese avant-garde writers that rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s.

Ge Fei was born in Dantu, Jiangsu, in 1964. He studied Chinese literature at East China Normal University and, after graduating in 1985, began to teach there and publish short stories and novellas. He read widely during his studies, but has since noted that he was particularly influenced by Borges, Faulkner and Robbe-Grillet. Some of his early, more experimental works were translated into English in the 1990s, such as "The Lost Boat", "Remembering Mr. Wu You" and "Green Yellow".

One of Ge Fei's most celebrated works is the "Jiangnan Trilogy", which explores the concept of utopia and contains many allusions to Cao Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber.

In 2016, The Invisibility Cloak (which had won both the Lu Xun Literary Prize and the Lao She Literary Award in 2014) was the first of his longer works to be translated into English.

家乡是平凡小人物的家乡,也是时代变革中的家乡,是仅仅凑凑一天,也可以是从童年到老年一生的回忆。

我一边读,一边想着我那回不去的家乡。东张张西望望,旧时风景不在,剩下的只有风。
