【摘要】：以索尔·贝娄为代表的一批美国当代小说家，他们创作的重要宗旨是不再采用简单单一的创作方式，而是尝试采用一种崭新的视角来认识更为复杂的世界。在美国文学界的这一重要变化充分反应了当时的人们看待世界的方式产生了巨大的改变。二战结束后，美国大发战争财，社会累积的财富达到顶峰，但是相伴而生的则是无穷的社会问题，在精神上人们苦闷，孤单寂寞无法发泄，对亲人和自己的伴侣常常没有安全感，甚至会感到世界之大竟没有自己的容身之所。针对这一系列当代社会所面临的严肃问题，任何一位有良知的学者都不得不认真思考。索尔·贝娄，作为一位具有强烈道德感和使命感的学者与作家，势必对美国社会状况进行了认真的思考。《雨王亨德森》是贝娄的一部重要的小说，是他对当前社会状况所提出自己独有见解的重要代表作品。本文通过对《雨王亨德森》的分析，在仔细品读作品，深度了解其作品丰富内涵的基础上，，通过对贝娄式困惑的分析，以及亨德森精神寻求之路的探讨，使亨德森在非洲旅行中寻找到了生命的意义和价值，最终超越了自我，实现了精神重生。亨德森由于内心“我要，我要”的强烈渴望远走非洲，最终在大自然的怀抱中他放下了一切。本文旨在通过研究亨德森不再执着于内心“我要”的强烈呼喊的原因，得出之所以他放下一切，是因为最终回复了自然的结论。这样的研究除了在宏观上把握了《雨王亨德森》这部作品外，更从细节入手，发现贝娄作品的独到之处，看到其理性思索的光芒。纵观贝娄的作品，我们可以看到贝娄在其中暴露出了当代资本主义社会所面临的严重的政治、经济、文化等各方面的危机，特别是他别出心裁地塑造了一系列知识分子的形象，充分昭显了他们的苦闷与彷徨。《雨王亨德森》这部作品充分揭示了当代美国人所面临的深刻的思想和精神危机，给美国的当代文学带来了较为有意义的思想内容，因此，众多评论家都对这部作品给予了较多的关注和非常高的评价。对《雨王亨德森》精神追寻之路的研究具有重要意义，它并不同于以往对“亨德森的精神追求究竟是什么”的研究，而是通过研究发现亨德森的精神探求并不是那些确定化的东西，而是放下了执迷的精神追求。这对于我们现代人解决自身的精神危机具有重要意义，只有放下一切，才能真正皈依自然，得到灵魂的救赎。
[Abstract]:A group of contemporary American novelists, represented by Saul Bellow, whose main purpose was to stop using a single way of writing. But to try to use a new perspective to understand a more complex world. This important change in American literature fully reflects the great change in the way people looked at the world at that time. After World War II, the United States made great gains from the war. The accumulated wealth of society has reached its peak, but it is accompanied by endless social problems. Spiritually, people are depressed, lonely and unable to vent their feelings. They often feel insecure about their relatives and their partners. It even feels that the world is so big that it doesn't have a place to live. Any conscientious scholar has to think hard about the serious problems facing this contemporary society. As a scholar and writer with a strong sense of morality and mission, he must give serious consideration to the social situation of the United States. Henderson the Rain King is an important novel by Bellow and an important representative of his own unique opinion on the current social situation. On the basis of deep understanding of the rich connotation of his works, through the analysis of Bellow-style puzzles and the exploration of Henderson's spiritual path, Henderson finds the meaning and value of life in his travels in Africa, and finally transcends himself. A spiritual rebirth. Henderson's strong desire to "I want, I want" to travel to Africa, Finally, in the embrace of nature, he let go of everything. The purpose of this article is to find out why Henderson has given up everything by studying the reasons why Henderson is no longer clinging to the strong cry of "I want" in his heart. This kind of research not only grasps the works of Henderson the Rain King but also finds out the originality of Bellow's works and the light of rational thinking. Looking at Bellow's works, we can see that Bellow exposed the serious crisis in politics, economy, culture and so on in the contemporary capitalist society. In particular, he created a series of unique images of intellectuals, fully revealing their distress and loss. Henderson, the Rain King, fully reveals the profound ideological and spiritual crisis facing contemporary Americans. It has brought significant ideological content to American contemporary literature. Therefore, many critics have paid more attention to this work and highly appraised it, which is of great significance to the study of the way to pursue the spirit of Henderson the Rain King. It is not the same as previous studies on what Henderson's spiritual pursuit is, but it turns out that Henderson's spiritual search is not something that is certain. This is of great significance for us to solve our spiritual crisis. Only by putting down all things can we truly convert to nature and get the salvation of our soul.
