《風之影》的文學手法及巴塞隆納城市意象之探討

Abstract

西班牙小說—《風之影》（La Sombra del Viento）中文版於西元2006年轟動上市，在臺灣颳起了一陣西班牙文壇吹來的颶風，讓許多讀者紛紛為此書廢寢忘食，讀到欲罷不能只為盡快一覽全書精彩的結局。作者—卡洛斯．魯依斯．薩豐（Carlos Ruiz Zafón）以19世紀末到20世紀初的巴塞隆納為背景，讓故事情節伴隨神秘的氣息反映出社會的現實。對於神祕氣息的營造，有學者認為《風之影》是哥德式小說（Gothic），也有學者認為其屬於魔幻現實主義小說（Magical Realism）的範疇。除此之外，書中最大的特色是薩豐提及許多巴塞隆納真實的地景，來作為故事場景的發生地，讓全書並非都是天馬行空的想像，而是以現實為基礎再透過文學手法的渲染，去體現隱藏在現實背後的神秘。因此本論文以《風之影》為研究對象，先歸納出薩豐使用到的文學技巧，去釐清其屬於哥德式小說還是魔幻現實主義小說。再根據書中隱藏於人物、背景和事件後的社會現實，利用再現理論（Representation）作為輔助，探討在小說的虛與實之間，讀者會於心中形塑出什麼樣的巴塞隆納意象。最後針對書中真實的地景，探究其以巴塞隆納為故事的發生地，如何將真實存在的地景經過文學手段的變形，建構出讀者對巴塞隆納的想像。The Chinese version of the Spanish novel The Shadow of the Wind (La Sombra del Viento) hit the market in 2006.
