内容简介
塞缪尔`巴特勒的代表作《众生之路》(The Way of All Flesh 1903)于1873年开始写作,到1885年完成,前后共经历十多年。该书是一部半自传体小说,也是一部成长小说(Bildungsroman)。巴特勒将自己的进化论思想完美地融入了这部小说的构思创作中,这实际上是一场他对自己的进化论思想的全面演绎。这部作品是巴特勒为探索科学真知耗尽毕生精力,最后结合自己的人生经历书写的进化论的绝唱。虽然对达尔文自然选择理论抱有误解,但是巴特勒在其发表的小说与专著中表达了自己的一套进化论思想,开创了进化论成长小说中独特的一派。遗憾的是,巴特勒的作品在他生前没有得到足够的重视,后人也没能全面系统地理解其著作与思想。本书意在对巴特勒《众生之路》这部小说中进化论思想展开全面、系统的研究与解读。
