초록
이러한 대중적인 철학적 여행담인 『찰리와 함께 한 여행』은 미국과 미국인에 대한 스타인벡의 솔직하고 비판적이지만 애정에 넘친 평가와 그의 나라의 결함에 대한 도덕적인 개혁운동의 좋은 예가 된다. 경험이 많은 작가로서 스타인벡은 선지자로서 작가의 의무를 더 의식한 것으로 입증된다. 왜냐하면 그는 생태학적이고 도덕적인 침식에 대항해서 그리고 정치적 위선에 대항해서 그리고 탐욕과 무자비함과 착취의 모습인 미국인 정신에 대항해서 예언적인 목소리를 제기하려고 시도했기 때문이다. 『찰리와 함께 한 여행』은 더 나아가 미국의 정신적인 황무지에 대한 그의 도덕적인 분노를 묘사한 소설인 『불만의 겨울』보다 더욱 더 진보적인 입장을 취한다. 그것은 또한 노벨문학상 수상자로서 그리고 공인으로서 더 많은 자신감과 열정 그리고 확신을 가지고 똑같이 다시 미국적인 주제를 다룬 그의 마지막 작품 『미국, 미국인』의 서곡의 역할을 하였다. 이 여행담이 받은 다양한 부정적인 비평에도 불구하고, 스타인벡은 미국의 도전적인 미래를 위하여 사람의 마음을 끄는 인본주의자로서 그리고 솔직한 예언적 목소리로서 자신을 개방적으로 드러내었다.
Abstract
This is a study about John Steinbeck’s “philosophical travelogue”, Travels with Charley in Search of America(1962), which documents the road trip he took with his french poodle Charley around the United States in 1960. He wrote that he was moved by a desire to see his country on a personal level. He had many questions going into his journey, the main one being “What are Americans like today”. However, he found that the “new America” did not live up to his expectations. While Steinbeck assessed America and Americans, he also revealed himself candidly, confirming some of the images of him. Through this study, what I discover is Steinbeck as a humble man, a fair, modest man who perceived his own limitations, as a man with a sense of childish wonder who was determined to discover his world, as a man who had to learn to transcend the past and to go on into the unknown future with anxiety, resignation, or courage, as a man who attempted to be an objective reporter as well as a subjective commentator, as a patriot and a critic of American culture with an ecologically enlightened prophetic voice, stressing the supreme importance of preserving man’s oneness with nature and moral fortitude in the nation, and as a man who loved his country so much that he had to criticize as a moralist its woeful faults. To sum up, this work exemplifies both Steinbeck’s candid, critical but affectionate assessment of America and Americans and his moral crusade against the defects of his nation. Therefore in this study I revealed Steinbeck as an endearing humanist and as a candid prophetic voice for America’s turbulent but challenging future.
