摘要

外国视野下的中国形象一直都是学者们的研究课题。二十世纪初,一些法国冒险家远渡重洋,第一次踏上 这片神秘的土地,感受中国独特的文化,并用手中的笔记录所见所想,将他们亲历的一切带回了法国,让 更多的人见证真正的中国。 维克多·谢阁兰和安德烈·马尔罗便是这批法国作家中的代表。本文选取了谢阁 兰的《勒内·莱斯》和马尔罗的《人的境遇》两本著作进行研究。《勒内·莱斯》从一个外国探索者的又中 探寻清朝末期的中国,而《人的境遇》则罕见地描述了中国革命变革事件,影响深远。笔者将分析法国文 学中的中国形象,分析两本书描写的中国社会、人物,结合作者生活经历和当时的社会背景,挖掘他们所 揭示的中国形象与真实中国的差异,并探寻背后的原因。

ABSTRACT

The image of China from a foreign perspective has always been a research topic for scholars. At the be- ginning of the 20th century, some french adventurers traveled across the ocean, set foot on this myste- rious land for the first time, felt China's unique culture, recorded what they saw and thought with their notes, brought everything they experienced back to France, and let more people witness the real China. Victor Segalen and Andre Malraux are the representatives of this group of French writers. This paper selects two works of Victor Segalen’s René Leys and Malraux’s The Humain Condition for research. René Leys explores China at the end of the Qing Dynasty from the mouth of a foreign explorer, while The Humain Condition rarely describes the revolutionary changes in China, which has a far-reaching impact. The au- thor will analyze the Chinese image in french literature, analyze the Chinese society and characters described in the two books, combine the author's life experience and the social background at that time, ex- cavate the differences between the Chinese image they reveal and the real China, and explore the reasons behind it.

Keywords: Chinese image, french literature, early 20th century
