生活之恶

by Eugenio Montale, 欧杰尼奥·蒙塔莱, 吕同六 (Translator)

《生活之恶》收录意大利隐逸派诗人蒙塔莱的诗歌160余首，分别选自《乌贼骨》、《境遇》、《暴风雨及其他》、《萨图拉》等诗集。蒙塔莱擅长刻画精神世界微妙、隐秘的感受和情绪。他借助隐喻和象征，赋予日常生活中的普通事物以不同寻常的意蕴，建立含蓄、深邃的艺术形象。他的抒情诗表达了同时代人对社会现实的厌恶、失望和忧虑，反映了他们在“生活之恶”的重压下竭力维护人的价值的强烈意识。在艺术上具有隐逸派的鲜明特点，注重艺术形象的提炼，突出内心世界的细微感情。

About the author

Eugenio Montale was born on October 12, 1896 in Genoa, Italy. He was the youngest son of Domenico Montale and Giuseppina (Ricci) Montale. They were brought up in a business atmosphere, as their father was a trader in chemicals. Ill health cut short his formal education and he was therefore a self-taught man free from conditioning except that of his own will and person. He spent his summers at the family villa in a village. This small village was near the Ligurian Riviera, an area which has had a profound influence on his poetry and other works. Originally Montale aspired to be an opera singer and trained under the famous baritone Ernesto Sivori. Surprisingly he changed his profession and went on to become a poet who can be considered the greatest of the twentieth century’s Italian poets and one who won the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature in 1975 "for his distinctive poetry which, with great artistic sensitivity, has interpreted human values under the sign of an outlook on life with no illusions."
