A prose work by the French poet Breton, published in 1928. In October 1926, the author meets a woman named Nadja and, attracted by her charm, wanders around Paris with her. With her guidance, who is as free as a fairy and even seems to have clairvoyance, the author receives various revelations. However, Nadja is deemed insane and committed to a psychiatric hospital, where he suffers a significant setback. Not only does the work embody the "surreal" inherent in reality by entrusting it to the actions of a real woman, but it also features urgent considerations on art and life and an objective descriptive style that makes this possible, making it not only a masterpiece of Surrealism, but also a work that represents the pinnacle of contemporary French literature. A "completely revised edition by the author" was published in 1963.

フランスの詩人ブルトンの散文作品。1928年刊。26年10月、著者はナジャと名のる女と出会い、その魅力にひかれ、彼女とともにパリの各所をさまよう。妖精(ようせい)のように自由で、透視力さえもつと思われた彼女の導きによって、著者はさまざまな啓示を得る。だがナジャは狂人とみなされて精神科病院に収容され、意味深い挫折(ざせつ)が訪れる。現実に内在する「超現実」を実在の女性の行動に託して具体化しつつ、芸術と人生についての切迫した考察と、それを成り立たせる客観的記述方式とによって、シュルレアリスムの代表作となったばかりでなく、現代フランス文学の一極点をなす作品でもある。63年に「著者による全面改訂版」が出た。 [巖谷國士] 『巖谷國士訳『ナジャ』(1976・白水社)』▽『巖谷國士著『ナジャ論』(1977・白水社)』 [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
