Van Loon's Tolerance as a Historical Fiction Abstract History is an important part of human civilization。 People like to record their life and heroic deeds admired by the people to come and spread through the ages。 History studies are full of difficulties, because doing textual research of historical data is really a serious and dull work。 Most history books are written according the rules of being scientific and reliable, and some may follow these rules so strictly that the books become hard to understand。73648

Luckily, not all history books are written in this style。 We can get plenty of delight as well as knowledge from Van Loon’s history fictions。 Van Loon was a master of Public history。 His numerous popular histories include The Story of Mankind (1921), The Story of the Bible (1923), Tolerance (1925), and The Story of America (1927)。

    Tolerance (1925) is considered to be one of his representative works of humanism。 Caring for human beings, respecting to humanity and pursuit of freedom are deeply reflected in this book。 This book is a historical fiction。 It tells the history of Western religion in a more casual and easy-understanding way。 The purpose of writing Tolerance is to tell history both to the educated public and the general public。

    In this thesis, the author will analyze Tolerance as a historical fiction in three aspects: writing style close to fictional creation in Tolerance, historical conception revealed in Tolerance and its striking relation with Chinese historical novel。

Keywords: tolerance; writing style; public history; views on history; Chinese historical fictions

从历史小说的特点看房龙的《宽容》

摘 要历史是人类文明重要的组成部分,人类热衷于将自己的生存和英雄事迹记录下来,留待后人敬仰,并一代代流传下去。然而历史的研究是充满着艰难险阻的,因为史料研究是一件严肃而又枯燥单一的工作。也因此,许多讲述历史的作品也如历史研究般,遵循考据科学,按照真实可靠的原则书写而成,而有些作品甚至因太过于遵循这样的规则而变得生涩难懂起来。

好在并不是所有的作品都采用这样的写作手法。我们还是能从阅读某些历史中既获得许多知识又享受很多乐趣的,比如房龙的作品。房龙是一位历史小说作家,是著名的大众史学家。他的作品包括《人类的故事》、《圣经的故事》、《美国的故事》以及本文要研究的《宽容》。

《宽容》是房龙的人文zhuyi代表作品。在作品中,他尊重人性,追求自由与解放。本作是一部历史小说,而不是单纯的历史书或虚构小说。该书以通俗易懂的语言讲述了西方人类思想的解放史。房龙在书写该作时,将受众目标定位为普罗大众,而非仅仅是受过高等教育的人群。因此,房龙在书中运用了特殊的写作手法。

本论文将从三个方面分析《宽容》的历史小说特点:一是该作具有小说风格的遣词用句特点,二是《宽容》这部作品所体现出的历史性概念,三是本作的采用的文学体裁与中国历史小说的显在联系。

I。 Introduction

When I found a book titled Tolerance, and read the prologue of the book, I regarded it as a fable book and keep the Chinese version as a dictionary of good words and sentences。 But soon I found out that the book was interesting enough but the words and sentences were too simple to be imitated in my own writing。 Then, during high school, I happened to read it again, this time in English version。 And the more I read, the more I was appealed to the author Hendrik Willem Van Loon and his amazing writing style。
