村上春樹(shù)的《1Q84》與奧威爾的《1984》
《1Q84》是村上春樹(shù)蟄伏7年的震撼新作,日本上市1周銷售突破65萬(wàn)冊(cè),創(chuàng)造歷史紀(jì)錄。(滬江小編推薦:村上春樹(shù)小說(shuō)《1Q84》熱賣出續(xù)篇>> )
用村上春樹(shù)自己的話說(shuō),《1Q84》寫的是一對(duì)10歲時(shí)相遇便各奔東西的30歲男女,互相尋覓對(duì)方的故事,并將這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的故事變成復(fù)雜的長(zhǎng)篇。在書中,采取的是兩條主線并進(jìn)的寫作手法,兩件事情以看似無(wú)關(guān)的形式發(fā)展,并在之后交匯合并。
小編當(dāng)初看到《1Q84》這個(gè)書名時(shí)就覺(jué)得十分熟悉,想起了英國(guó)著名作家喬治·奧威爾所著的政治隱喻小說(shuō)《一九八四》(Nineteen Eighty-Four)。那《1Q84》與到底是啥關(guān)系呢?
《1Q84》與《1984》
從某種意義上說(shuō),《1Q84》是村上向奧威爾名作《1984》致敬的一本書!
《1Q84》和《1984》有著不言而喻的聯(lián)系,在日本,“9”和“Q”發(fā)音相似,書中也有很多地方提及《一九八四》的內(nèi)容。事實(shí)上,與《1984》一樣,《1Q84》也是在描述1984年發(fā)生的事情,奧威爾是在1948年時(shí)寫1984年,村上春樹(shù)的《1Q84》則是在20多年后寫當(dāng)年追溯過(guò)去。主人公為區(qū)分1984年某一時(shí)點(diǎn)后的新世界,而將新世界后的年代訂為1Q84年。Q是question mark的Q。
《1Q84》中有“小小人”(Little People),《一九八四》中有“老大哥”(Big Brother)這個(gè)有名的角色。明眼人一看就明白了吧!
“不管喜歡還是不喜歡,目前我已經(jīng)置身于這‘1Q84年’。我熟悉的那個(gè)1984 年已經(jīng)無(wú)影無(wú)蹤,今年是1Q84年??諝庾兞耍L(fēng)景變了。我必須盡快適應(yīng)這個(gè)帶著問(wèn)號(hào)的世界。像被放進(jìn)陌生森林中的動(dòng)物一樣,為了生存下去,得盡快了解并 順應(yīng)這里的規(guī)則?!贝迳洗簶?shù)在接受日本《讀賣新聞》時(shí)如是說(shuō)。
關(guān)于《1984》
Nineteen Eighty-Four (sometimes written 1984) is a 1949 dystopian novel by George Orwell about a degenerated workers' state. The novel depicts an oligarchical, collectivist society where life in the Oceanian province of Airstrip One is a world of perpetual war, pervasive government surveillance, and incessant public mind control. The individual is always subordinated to the masses, and it is in part this philosophy which allows the Party to manipulate and control humanity. In the Ministry of Truth (Minitrue, in Newspeak), protagonist Winston Smith is a civil servant responsible for perpetuating the Party's propaganda by revising historical records to render the Party omniscient and always correct, yet his meagre existence disillusions him to the point of seeking rebellion against Big Brother, eventually leading to his arrest, torture, and conversion.
《一九八四》(英文:Nineteen Eighty-Four)是英國(guó)作家喬治·奧威爾(George Orwell)創(chuàng)作的一部政治諷刺小說(shuō),小說(shuō)創(chuàng)作于1948年,書名來(lái)自作者將48倒置過(guò)來(lái)為84。這本作品初版于1949年,講述一個(gè)令人感到窒息和恐怖的,以追逐權(quán)力為最終目標(biāo)的假想的未來(lái)極權(quán)主義社會(huì),通過(guò)對(duì)這個(gè)社會(huì)中一個(gè)普通人溫斯頓·史密斯的生活,投射出了現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中極權(quán)主義的本質(zhì)。它與1932年英國(guó)赫胥黎著作的《美麗新世界》,以及俄國(guó)尤金·扎米亞金的《我們》並稱反烏托邦的三部代表作,通常也被認(rèn)為是政治小說(shuō)文學(xué)的代表作。

關(guān)于《1Q84》
1Q84 (One Q Eighty-Four or ichi-kew-hachi-yon) is a 2009 novel by Haruki Murakami, the first three volumes of which have been published in Japan. The novel quickly became a sensation, with its first printing selling out the day it was released, and reaching sales of one million within a month.
The title is a play on the Japanese pronunciation of the year 1984. The letter Q and the Japanese number 9 (typically romanized as "kyū," but as "kew" on the book's Japanese cover, shown at right) are homophones, which are often used in Japanese wordplay. This is a reference to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.
One review described 1Q84 as a "complex and surreal narrative" which "shifts back and forth between tales of two characters, a man and a woman, who are searching for each other." It tackles themes of murder, history, cult religion, violence, family ties and love.
