In 1907 J. M. Synge achieved both notoriety and lasting fame with "The Playboy of the Western World". "The Aran Islands", published in the same year, records his visits to the islands in 1898-1901, when he was gathering the folklore and anecdotes out of which he forged "The Playboy" and his other major dramas. Yet this book is much more than a stage in the evolution of Synge the dramatist. As Tim Robinson explains in his introduction, 'If Ireland is intriguing as being an island off the west of Europe, then Aran, as an island off the west of Ireland, is still more so; it is Ireland raised to the power of two'. Towards the end of the last century Irish nationalists came to identify the area as the country's uncorrupted heart, the repository of its ancient language, culture and spiritual values. It was for these reasons that Yeats suggested Synge visit the islands to record their way of life. The result is a passionate exploration of a triangle of contradictory relationships - between an island community still embedded in its ancestral ways but solicited by modernism, a physical environment of ascetic loveliness and savagely unpredictable moods, and Synge himself, formed by modern European thought but in love with the primitive.
四面来风的小草屋,海浪里搏击的年轻人,含混柔和的盖尔语,孤凄的岩石地…大西洋世界里陷落的一片野蛮、高贵之地。邓恩说“没有人是孤岛,每人都是大陆的一片”,小岛总是要依靠大陆和海洋来界定自身。辛格情愿阿伦群岛的人们保持原始部落形态,细细记录他们在语言,地貌风物与文化积习等方面的差异以捕捉其inarticulate power ,于狂风中书写尚未成形的爱尔兰文化志。

可以算是研究wuli沁孤的必读之作,他前四部剧作的故事都可以在这本游记中找到来源。沁孤用‘原始’来形容岛民,但从不用‘野蛮’一词,反而在岛民的身上看到了一种古老的高贵。天主教与异教、原始与文明之间的矛盾是他对岛民观察的两个出发点。在沁孤记录下来的岛民的叙述中,天主教仿佛只是不久之前的事情,那种扎根已久的异教徒心理才是岛民信仰中的主体;也许对于岛民而言,上帝太远,魔鬼太近。爱尔兰的官员来收租一幕最能... 可以算是研究wuli沁孤的必读之作,他前四部剧作的故事都可以在这本游记中找到来源。沁孤用‘原始’来形容岛民,但从不用‘野蛮’一词,反而在岛民的身上看到了一种古老的高贵。天主教与异教、原始与文明之间的矛盾是他对岛民观察的两个出发点。在沁孤记录下来的岛民的叙述中,天主教仿佛只是不久之前的事情,那种扎根已久的异教徒心理才是岛民信仰中的主体;也许对于岛民而言,上帝太远,魔鬼太近。爱尔兰的官员来收租一幕最能反映沁孤对‘文明’的反思。 (展开)
