毀滅: 法捷耶夫的革命文學,魯迅的經典譯作

Rate this book
《毀滅》是蘇聯作家法捷耶夫的代表作,以蘇聯國內戰爭為題材的長篇小說,作於1925年至1926年。描寫了1919年遠東南烏蘇裡邊區游擊隊鬥爭生活,展現了共產黨員萊奮生的英雄主義和美契克的叛徒行為。小說刻畫了一批革命者的成長過程,和綏拉菲摩維奇的《鐵流》、富曼諾夫的《恰巴耶夫》一起成為描繪俄羅斯內戰時期的代表作品。
1930年,魯迅根據日譯文《毀滅》轉譯成中文,在同年的《萌芽》月刊1—5期連載(未完)。1931年,魯迅自己出資,以三閒書屋的名義出版了這部作品。
魯迅自己為《毀滅》撰寫的廣告詞:“《毀滅》作者法捷耶夫,是早有定評的小說作家,本書曾經魯迅從日文本譯出,登載月刊,讀者贊為佳作。可惜月刊中途停印,書亦不完。現又參照德英兩種譯本,譯成全書,並將上半改正,添譯藏原惟人,茀理契序文,附以原書插畫六幅,三色版印作者畫像一張,亦可由此略窺新的藝術。不但所寫的農民礦工以及知識階級,皆栩栩如生,且多格言,汲之不盡,實在是新文學中的一個大炬火。全書三百十餘頁,實價大洋一元二角。”

Alexander Fadeyev

Alexander Alexandrovich Fadeyev (Russian: Александр Алексaндрович Фадеев) was a Soviet writer, one of the co-founders of the Union of Soviet Writers and its chairman from 1946 to 1954.

From 1908 to 1912 he lived in Chuguyevka, Primorsky Krai. He took part in the guerrilla movement against the Japanese interventionists and the White Army during the Russian Civil War. In 1927, he published the novel The Rout (also known as The Nineteen), in which he described youthful guerrilla fighters.

In 1945 he wrote the novel Young Guard (based upon real events of World War II) about the underground anti-fascist Komsomol organization named Young Guard, which fought against the Nazis in the occupied city Krasnodon (in the Ukrainian SSR). For this novel, Fadeyev was awarded the Stalin Prize (1946). In 1948, a Soviet film The Young Guard, based on the book, was released, and later revised in 1964 to correct inaccuracies in the book.

Fadeyev was a champion of Joseph Stalin, proclaiming him "the greatest humanist the world has ever known". During the 1940s, he actively promoted Zhdanovshchina, a campaign of criticism and persecution against many of the Soviet Union's foremost composers. However, he was a friend of Mikhail Sholokhov. Fadeyev married a famous stage actress, Angelina Stepanova (1905–2000).

In the last years of his life Fadeyev became an alcoholic. Some sources claim, that this was mostly due to the denunciation of Stalinism during the Khrushchev Thaw. He eventually committed suicide at his dacha in Peredelkino, leaving a dying letter, from which one can see Fadeyev's strictly negative attitude to new leaders of the Party. His death occasioned an epigram by Boris Pasternak, his neighbor.

Alexander Fadeyev is buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow.
