“丛林强盗”是澳大利亚文学中的常见主题之一。在大多数澳大利亚作家笔下,丛林强盗通常以恶徒或侠盗的形象示人。著名作家大卫·马洛夫凭借小说《柯洛溪边的对话》打破了人们的这种思维定势。他笔下的丛林强盗既有关乎肉体的欢乐和苦痛,又有内心世界的矛盾和挣扎,更有灵性良心的觉醒和回归,充分体现出他们作为普通人的复杂性、丰富性和可能性。 The Jungle Robber is one of the most common topics in Australian literature. In the pen of most Australian writers, jungle robbers often show themselves as villains or Grand Theft Auto. The famous author David Mallof with the novel “Corolla Creek Dialogue” broke the people’s mindset. The jungle robber in his works not only relates to the joys and pains of the flesh but also the contradictions and struggles in the inner world and the awakening and return of spiritual conscience. It fully reflects their complexity, richness and possibility as ordinary people.
