關於加西亞．馬奎斯作品及拉丁美洲文學 彼得小話推薦的延伸閱讀 Suggested Reading by Peter Suart on Latin American literature and Gabriel García Márquez
我自認對拉丁美洲文學沒有深入的認識，只限於 一個初學者的興趣，以下推介的書目是為籌備十 二月城市當代舞蹈團《孤寂》演出的背景資料， 完全基於個人選擇。 閱讀加西亞．馬奎斯作品的過程中，焦點集中在 他特有的故事性、散文風格、靈巧詞令、豐富想 像力、寫作技巧、及他的社會和政治參與傾向。 《迷宮中的將軍》描述拉丁美洲革命家玻利華的 晚年情況，可以與他本人的信件、演說及傳記並 讀。《族長的沒落》裡描繪的世界要比《百年孤 寂》黑暗，好比皇宮中的沼澤，形容權力的可怕 侵蝕性。《關於愛及其他心魔》：一個強烈、令 人興奮的短篇小品。如果你想知道《百年孤寂》的構思來源，馬奎斯的自傳《活着為了講故 事》便是你的最佳答案：一切源於他的生活。 傑拉德．馬丁的傳記是一個詳盡的馬奎斯生平及作品的記錄。博爾赫斯的一系列短篇小說則 是充滿詩意及奇異的智力迷宮。西班牙修士兼歷史學家卡薩斯遣責歐洲征服者在美洲的駭人 暴力行為，其著作不可以說是一個輕鬆的閱讀經驗，但它提供一個富爭議性但非常重要的觀 點角度。《權力與榮耀》是一位英國作家面對 1930 年代墨西哥對教會的壓制政策的反應。《熙 德之歌》是十二、三世紀富有騎士風範的史詩，是西班牙文學的根基作品，而另一經典《堂 吉訶德》更是與空氣和水一樣不容或缺。 以上提及的作者全是男性。《詩歌、抗議及一個夢》的作者德拉克魯斯修女是十七世紀西班 牙帝國統治下的墨西哥學者、詩人及女性學習權利的擁護者，現今來說，我們當然贊成這應 該以一切和平方式爭取。二十世紀三十年代發生的西班牙內戰可說是拉丁美洲源源不斷的左 右派鬥爭的反映，牛津大學出版社的《精簡系列》中便有介紹此一戰事。 十六世紀的征服者尋求他們的「黃金國」，而拉丁美洲文學寶庫就藏在我們文明的圖書館內， 閃閃生光，顯然具有更高的價值。

I have no expertise in Latin American literature, and these thoughts are offered as a newcomer. The suggestions below are books that I’ve read as background for CCDC’s Soledad show, and are thus a personal choice rather than a representative one. Read García Márquez for the story, for the prose, for the wit, imagination and craft, for the social and political engagement. The General in His Labyrinth recounts Bolívar’s last days; read it in conjunction with Bolívar’s letters and addresses, and with a biography. The Autumn of the Patriarch is darker than 100 Years: a swamp in a palace; the terrible nature of power. Of Love and Other Demons is short, highly coloured and delightful. Living to Tell the Tale is a memoir. If you have asked yourself, ‘Where did One Hundred Years of Solitude come from?’, you’ll find the answer here: from García Márquez’ life. Gerald Martin’s biography of García Márquez is an excellent account of the life and work. Borges’ Fictions is a set of short stories: poetic, strange, intellectually labyrinthine. Las Casas’ book is horrific: a short account and condemnation of the appalling violence perpetrated by the conquistadors in the Americas, written by a Spanish Dominican friar and bishop. A book to be endured rather than enjoyed, it offers an essential perspective, albeit one that is contested in some quarters. Greene’s The Power and the Glory is an English novelist’s view of 1930s Mexico and the suppression of the Church. The Song of the Cid is a 12/13th century chivalric poem, and a foundation work of Spanish literature. I haven’t listed Don Quixote as it counts with air and water amongst the necessities of human life. All suggested titles are by men. I also read Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’ Poems, Protest, and a Dream. She was a 17th century nun in the Mexico of the Spanish Empire, a scholar and poet, and defender of the right of women to study. That right is one we should fight for by all peaceful means. The Spanish Civil War of the 1930s is of interest as an analogue of the incessant warring in Latin America between the political Left and Right. Oxford University publishes excellent Very Short Introductions, including one on that war. The 16th century conquistadors went in search of Eldorado. Of inestimably higher value, the gold of Latin American literature is available through libraries, one of the noblest institutions of mankind.
