Charles Dickens

Little Dorrit is a novel by Charles Dickens which satirises the shortcomings of both government and society, including the institution of debtors prisons, where debtors were imprisoned, unable to work, until they repaid their debts. The prison in this case is the Marshalsea, where Dickens's own father had been imprisoned. Dickens is also critical of the lack of a social safety net, the treatment and safety of industrial workers, as well the bureaucracy of the British Treasury, in the form of his fictional "Circumlocution Office". In addition he satirises the stratification of society that results from the British class system. In his Introduction, David Gates argues that “intensity of imagination is the gift from which Dickens’s other great attributes derive: his eye and ear, his near-universal empathy, his ability to entertain both a sense of the ridiculous and a sense of ultimate significance.” Dickens criticizes the hierarchical society which would demand such an impossible thing of a man, and also questions which class of their acquaintance are good people and true friends.

《化蝶飛:達者莊子》是一部長篇歷史小說。小說以漢人司馬遷《史記·老莊申韓列傳》所載莊周(即莊子)的生平與莊周及其門人所著《莊子》一書為依據,以戰國時代的重大歷史事件與諸子百家代表人物的活動為依托,在廣闊的歷史背景下對戰國時代道家的代表人物莊周的形象予以鮮活的呈現。小說以莊周的幾次游歷活動為主線,以莊周的日常生活為著力點,透過莊周一生遭遇的無數人生困頓,通過莊周與其弟子的論學對話,在生動的故事情節演進中形象地呈現了莊周的哲學思想,表現了莊周的喜怒哀樂,揭示了莊周哲學思想形成的原因,從而使千古以來形象模糊不清、思想玄妙難懂的道家代表人物莊周第一次以文學的形象呈現出來。小說在歷史與文學的平衡中作了創造性的努力,小說中的莊周既是歷史的莊周,又是文學的莊周;既是思想深邃的哲學家,又是即之可溫的尋常讀書人,在他身上我們既可看到常人無可企及的機智與風趣,又可見到常人皆有的無奈與苦惱。他是獨特的文學形象,也是鮮活的肉身凡胎。 小說近六十萬字,共分七章,分別是:第一章“在人間”,第二章“排儒墨”,第三章“應帝王”,第四章“體大道”,第五章“齊萬物”,第六章“任自然”,第七章“逍遙游”。每章五小節,各以一個故事為中心,在情節推進中將五小節的敘寫內容融為一體,從而自然地呈現出莊子的某一個主要思想,突出其人物形象。
