山河入梦

Jiangnan Trilogy #2

by Ge Fei

“江南三部曲”是著名作家格非从上世纪九十年代中期开始酝酿构思，沉潜求索，到2011年终于完成定稿的系列长篇巨作。作者在坚守高贵艺术性的同时，用具有穿透力的思考和叙事呈现了一个世纪以来中国社会内在精神的衍变轨迹。

《山河入梦(江南三部曲)》是“江南三部曲”的第二部。故事背景是上世纪五六十年代的江南，主要人物则与《人面桃花》相衔接。陆秀米之子谭功达在新中国成为梅城县县长，在他建设“社会主义新农村”的蓝图中混杂了“桃花源”的梦想，而从上海流落到梅城的少女姚佩佩偶遇谭功达，成为他的秘书。在个体无法抗拒的现实中，谭功达的雄心屡遭挫败；憧憬着纯美情感的姚佩佩，则被命运捉弄，沦为逃亡的嫌犯。谭功达被下放到“花家舍”后，发现自己多年来梦寐以求的“桃花源”已在此实现；他与姚佩佩的爱情虽历经磨难，却劫数难逃，以心跳加速般的节奏展开……

《山河入梦(江南三部曲)》以充实的细节、饱满的笔墨和沉静深入的思索，勾勒出二十世纪中期中国的社会现实图景，寓言般地呈现了个体在时代剧变中的曲折命运与精神求索。

About the author

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.

Reviews

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

一口气看完的。作者的文笔无可挑剔，情节很吸引人，人物刻画也很到位。心理描写细腻合理。以两位主人公的性感线贯穿全书。前半分更贴近现实。但是后半部分，当主人公来到一个被监视的世外桃源。有一点和前半部分的现实主义不太和谐。感觉作者想要讽刺和批判现实，但又无法放开。这部分剧情有些突兀。总的来说，如果你对中国5，60年代乡村题材感兴趣的话，还是很推荐的。

Eine schwermütige Geschichte... Es scheint, dass Gesetze in den 1950er Jahren keine Rolle spielten. Nicht nur die Karriere eines Individuums, sondern auch sein Leben und Tod werden vom Staat — konkret gesagt, seinem Vorgesetzten— bestimmt...

I feel it to be best of Ge Fei's trilogy. I love the anti-hero, and the female fugitive writing those desperate, tantalizing letters.
