多丽丝·莱辛（Doris Lessing，1919-）2007年10月，年届九旬的多丽丝·莱辛获得诺贝尔文学奖。
对于这份迟来的荣誉，莱辛没有过度的兴奋。
因为她常年孜孜不倦地写作，从不以或将为目的。
正是这种对文学创作无怨无悔的执著，才让她赢得这一“终身成就奖”。
2008年，《时代》周刊所列的“1945年以来最伟大的英国作家”排行榜中，多丽丝·莱辛名列第五。
从照片上看，晚年的多丽丝·莱辛面貌祥和，其实，她的一生并不平静。
早年她生活一直“在路上”。
她的父亲为了追求自由自在、无拘无束的生活，带领全家从英国迁到波斯，从波斯搬到南罗德西亚（即今天的津巴布韦）。
当他得知殖民政府出卖廉价土地时，他于1927年这南罗德西亚投资购买3000亩土地。
他和其他殖民者从未质疑过他们对这片土地的拥有权，反倒是非洲人在自己的国家过着流亡生活。
对此，多丽丝·莱辛有着自己的思考，这一主题出现在她的《青草在歌唱》（The Grass is Singing,1950）中。
动荡的迁徙生活对于莱辛的母亲来说简直就是一场灾难。
父母世界观之间的巨大差异对实际家庭生活产生了不利影响，这成为了莱辛创作灵感的源泉。
从《青草在歌唱》到《第五个孩子》（The Fifth Child,1988），家长与子女间的关系一直是莱辛关注的焦点问题之一。
在其回忆录、短篇小说，尤其是《暴力的孩子》（Children of Violence,1952-1969）系列中，莱辛所刻画的父亲角色都是向往田园生活的追梦人，而母亲角色却都是循规蹈矩的城市人。
父母价值取向和视野的不同影响了莱辛对文学先辈传统的继承。
她认为，对他影响最大的文学前辈几乎都是欧洲的男性作家，例如托尔斯泰、巴尔扎克、屠格涅夫等。
尽管莱辛的生活经历及写作与英国女性作家乔治·艾略特有许多相似之处，但莱辛却从不承认受过这位女性前辈的影响。
莱辛是自学成才的典范。
摘要】《野草在歌唱》是多丽丝·莱辛的处女之作,她书写了在男权社会中,南非白人女性的悲惨命运。
运用文学伦理学批评方法探讨该部作品中所揭示的人与社会、人与人、人与自然之间的伦理道德,并从这三个方面深层次分析酿造女主人公玛丽的悲剧一生的原因。
通过深度解读,笔者感受到莱辛对建立起真诚关爱的和谐人际关系的期望,同时该部作品也彰显了莱辛的人道主义价值观。
【Abstract】The Grass is Singing is Doris Lessing’s first novel. In this novel, she describes the miserable life of white women living in South Africa in a patriarchal society. This paper attempts to apply literary ethical criticism to interpret the novel in order to display the ethics between men and society, men and men, men and nature, from which we can probe into the factors resulting in the protagonist’s tragic life. Through the close analysis, we can also feel Lessing’s hope for the establishment of a harmonious world based on the mutual sincerity and care.Besides,the movie also displays Lessing’s humanitarian values. 更多还原摘要】《野草在歌唱》讲述的是女主人公玛丽的悲剧故事。

The Story of General Dann and Mara's Daughter, Griot and the Snow Dog [平装]~ 多丽丝•莱辛(Lessing Doris May) (作者) 出版日期: 2006年6月19日出版社: HarperPerennial (2006年6月19日) 平装: 336页A fascinating novel of love and ecology from one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. Doris Lessing returns to the world of visionary fiction, first visited in her Canopus in Argos quintet of novels in the 1980s, and in 'Mara and Dann', of which this is a sequel, in 1999. The earth's climate has changed -- it is colder than ever before -- and Dann, four in the first book, is now grown up and a general, and the man to whom everyone looks for guidance and leadership. Doris Lessing's novel charts his adventures across the frozen wastes of the north, a journey that will eventually lead to the discovery of a secret library.From Publishers WeeklyThis sequel to Lessing's futuristic novel Mara and Dann continues the saga of Dann, the refugee boy prince of the Mahondi, who searched with his older sister Mara for habitable land on a planet Earth beset by a new ice age. Several characters from that novel reappear, including Griot, a soldier who served under Dann, but Mara has died in childbirth. Grief deafens General Dann to the pleas of those who believe he alone can save civilization from the warring chaos of displaced populations. Lessing's long literary career includes much science fiction (the Canopus in Argos series), but this dystopia, underscored by its reluctant hero's existential dilemma—why go on just to go on?—resembles a classical myth, albeit one with no gods to intervene. As Dann disastrously tries to assuage his grief with opium, loyal Griot raises an army and finds a repository of books that preserves the wisdom of lost civilizations. Less of an adventure story than its predecessor, this sequel requires patience through several repetitive passages devoted to Dann's refusal to act. But that is a small price to pay for Lessing's acute observations. (Jan.)From The Washington Post's Book World/Doris Lessing imagines a bleak future. Ice has crushed Europe, its people fleeing south to Africa, where drought and famine prey on everyone. Europe becomes Yerrup, Africa becomes Ifrik, and civilization devolves. Everything is forgotten: how to make machines, how to read books, how to learn, how to create. Only survival matters in this newly primitive world.Lessing first wrote about Ifrik seven years ago in Mara and Dann, which follows a young brother and sister on a desperate trip from the south of the continent to the north, where conditions are said to have improved. That novel is subtitled "An Adventure," and it is full of kidnappings, narrow escapes, desperate (dare I say incestuous?) love and misshapen villains.The Story of General Dann and Mara's Daughter, Griot and the Snow Dog is a different sort of book, not least because its title outweighs its contents. The classic simplic ity of the first novel -- a brother and sister searching for safety -- is replaced by angst-ridden ramblings, and the high seriousness with which Lessing clearly takes her work is unleavened by stirring plot points.The story begins where Mara and Dann ends: Brother and sister have found comfortable refuge with their lovers on a farm far to the north. But Dann discovers that peace -- and seeing his sister with another man -- can be unsettling. He flees to the nearby Centre, a palace complex with a secret stash of long-lost knowledge. He is followed by Griot. Dann led an army during one of the longer stops along his northern journey, and Griot, a loyal soldier, expects him to do it again. Refugees are streaming into the Centre, in the hope that Dann will be the one finally to establish a country where they can rest and prosper.Yet Dann's sense of history -- his own and the dimly recalled tales of dead civilizations -- paralyzes him. "Over and over again, all the effort and the fighting and the hoping, but it ends in the Ice, or in cities sinking down out of sight into the mud," he laments. And laments. And laments some more. And when he gets the news that Mara has died giving birth to a daughter, he goes mad. He is brought back to health and sanity by the love of a good dog and Griot's determination that Dann should do what the people expect of him. Eventually, with minimal drama, he does, establishing a peaceable kingdom in nearby Tundra.Any novel about a depressed person, even one set in an imagined world, can be tedious at times. Lessing's Ifrik -- with its bands of emaciated and glassy-eyed refugees, its communities willfully blind to the calamities of war and drought that stalk them, its dearth of gentleness -- is the more compelling character here, one worth meeting as we ponder what our own climate change has in store for us.Reviewed by Rachel Hartigan SheaCopyright 2006, The Washington Post. All Rights Reserved. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.From BooklistIn Mara and Dann (1999), the orphaned brother and sister survive their perilous adventure as they slog across the devastated continent of Ifrik thousands of years in the future, and they finally separate knowing that their passion cannot be consummated. Now Dann is grief-stricken to learn that his sister has died in childbirth. A respected general, he has left his own demonic wife and child, but he meets up with Mara's child, Tamar, and loves her as his own, training her to take over as leader of his people. The intimate family connection, the "passionate shyness," is exquisitely rendered. U nfortunately, Tamar only arrives three-quarters of the way throughthe story. To get there, one must slog through endless generic journeys in a future world destroyed by drought, floods, ice, and mud, with armies of refugees fleeing war and famine. Of course, the message does connect with the dire warnings in today's disasters. But the drama is in the personal, not only Dann's family but also his bond with his loyal snow dog and hisfriendship with his army officer Griot. Clearly there is plenty more to come.
