Ukuba uhlobo lwakudala kanye nokuphila nokukhahlela kuyingqopha-mlando. Yilokhu okwenzeka nge-China Mieville kanye ne- isayensi yeqiniso ephazamisayo futhi ethuthukile. Ngamanye amazwi, ngaphezu kokwakudala, i-China Mieville ihlale ibheja ku-avant-garde, izindida zesipho sokudala. Futhi ngithi inganekwane yesayensi ngoba ukuzimisela kokumangalisayo kuyafinyela ekuhlukaniseni umkhawulo wezincwadi ze-China Mieville.
Iphupho eliyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu lezimvu zikagesi ze Phillip K Dick ifinyela phambi kwamadlelo lapho izidalwa zaseMieville zidla khona, njengomuntu ngezinye izikhathi njengezidalwa ezingafinyeleleki kwabanye, zishukunyiswa ukulangazelela okungenakucatshangwa.
Kusukela esaga sakhe se-Bas-Lag, lapho cishe bonke abafundi bakhe abasha besondela emsebenzini wakhe, sithola ukwazi iziphakamiso ezintsha ezingase zibe umphumela wokudla okumnandi phakathi kuka-Mad Max no-Blade Runner. I-China ijabulela izikhala ezingokomfanekiso, ze-hyperbolic, njengokungathi zivela emhlabeni wethu ngezindlela ezihambisanayo. Mhlawumbe kungase kube khona ukuhlangana okuthakazelisayo neplanethi yethu ... konke kuzoncika kunoma yikuphi ekukwazini komfundi ukubamba umzila wemihlaba emisha eyenziwe e-Mieville.
Amanoveli Aphezulu Anconyiwe E-China Mieville
Idolobha nedolobha
UDickens Ukhulume nathi mayelana namadolobha akhe amabili efuna ama-analogies anamanzi, ama-symmetries angenakwenzeka ezimweni zomlando. I-China Mieville isilungiselela ukuthola izindawo ezimbili ezixhunywe uhlobo lwesine. Uhlobo lukaNkulunkulu noma umdlalo kaDeveli ongawujabulela ngomdlalo wakho we-chess owuthandayo mayelana nesiphetho, inkululeko yokuzikhethela kanye nomthelela wovemvane. Amadolobha amabili aboniswe njengokungathi asemthelela we-prism, intuthuko ehlukene yalabo abangaphakathi kwedolobha nedolobha...
Eyashicilelwa okokuqala ngo-2009, iThe City and the City iwumsebenzi wobuciko oguqule iChina Miéville ibe yizwi elikhulu kunawo wonke ezinhlamvu zamanje ze-Anglo-Saxon kunoma yiluphi uhlobo, oluthakaselwa ababhali abafana noCarlos Ruiz Zafón, uNeil Gaiman no-Ursula. K. LeGuin.
Uyemukelwa endabeni yamadolobha amabili angamawele, angabonakali komunye nomunye, ikusasa lawo elihlanganiswe nokubulawa kukaMahalia Geary osemncane, otholwe eshonile nobuso bakhe bukhubazekile edolobheni laseBeszel.
Ngesikhathi sophenyo lobugebengu, u-Inspector Borlú uzolandela amapayipi asuka e-Beszel aye edolobheni elingumakhelwane, i-UI Qoma. Lapho uyothola ukubamba iqhaza kwentokazi etulo lezombangazwe futhi uzozithola esezungezwe abashisekeli bobuzwe, abazama ukucekela phansi umuzi wamawele, nama-uniificationists, aphupha ngokushintsha le mizi yomibili ibe yinye. Amaqiniso azotholwa umseshi ngokuhlukaniswa kwawo womabili amadolobha angamlahlekisela ngempilo yakhe. I-China Miéville ixuba okungcono kakhulu kwenganekwane yesayensi, umdlalo ovusa amadlingozi kanye nedrama yamaphoyisa emsebenzini ohlukanisa izinhlobo ezintathu zezinhlobo ukuze ube umsebenzi wokufunda ongenakulibaleka.
Isiteshi sasePerdido Street
Ukudala umhlaba omusha njengoba kwenzeka eNew Crobuzon kufanele kube nzima kakhulu. Ukwakha isiza kuhlala kunesakho. Ukuvusa umhlaba omusha kungokunye… I-China Mieville yafinyelela kukho ngokucophelela komkhandi wegolide. Umphumela uba indawo enomlingo ekugcineni engekude kakhulu ezitatimendeni eziyisisekelo njengomhlaba wethu. Emfanekisweni ojabulisayo kuhlala lokho kuhlakanipha kwe-uchronic kanye ne-dystopian. Ukuze mhlawumbe ufunde futhi ufinyelele iziphetho hhayi kude njenge-New Crobuzon uqobo.
Idolobha elikhulu laseNew Crobuzon lisenkabeni yezwe lakhe elididayo. Abantu, abaguquguqukayo, nezinhlanga zama-arcane ziminyene ebumnyameni, ngaphansi koshimula bazo; imifula igeleza, i-viscous, futhi amafekthri nezindawo ezisunguliwe zishaya ubusuku bonke. Sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwenkulungwane, iPhalamende namabutho alo anonya abusa inqwaba yezisebenzi, abaculi, izinhloli, izangoma, imilutha nezifebe.
Manje, njengoba umfokazi efika ephethe amaphakethe ajulile kanye nesidingo esingenakufinyeleleka, into engacabangeki ikhululwa. Kungazelelwe, idolobha ligajwe ukwesaba okukhulu, futhi isiphetho sezigidi zabantu sincike eqenjini labaxoshwa ababalekela abenzi bemithetho nezigebengu. Indawo yasemadolobheni iba yindawo yokuzingela, izimpi zilwelwa emthunzini wezakhiwo eziyinqaba ... futhi sekwephuzile kakhulu ukubaleka.
Yaklonyeliswa ngomklomelo we-Arthur C. Clarke ngo-2001 kanye ne-Ignotus ngo-2002. Ngalolu cwaningo lwe-trilogy, i-Miéville yaqala ukujabulisa ababhali, abezindaba, nabafundi bazo zonke izinhlobo. Namuhla uthathwa njengelinye lamagama amakhulu kakhulu ezinhlamvu ze-Anglo-Saxon zekhulu lama-XNUMX.
umkhandlu wensimbi
Inoveli evala i-trilogy ehlaba umxhwele ngokungangabazeki ephula izinkolelo-ze zokumangalisa ezixhunywe kakhulu kubhajethi ngendlela nengqikithi. Iphupho kufanele lizisungule kabusha ngaso sonke isikhathi. Futhi uMieville waqala ngakho ukuze asibuyisele sonke ekucabangeni imihlaba emisha, hhayi izindawo ezihlala zinamathele ezifundeni ezivele zikhona, noma ngabe zikude kangakanani...
Lezi izikhathi zezibhelu nokuvukela umbuso, ukungqubuzana nozungu. I-Crobuzon entsha ihlukaniswa phakathi nangaphandle. Impi nesifunda-dolobha esibi saseTesh nezibhelu ezitaladini kuletha idolobha elikhulu esiphethweni.
Phakathi nalesi siphithiphithi, umuntu ofihle ubuso ongaqondakali uvusa ukuhlubuka, kuyilapho ukukhohlisa nobudlova kushubile ezindaweni ezingalindelekile. Ngokuphelelwa yithemba, iqembu elincane lamambuka liyabaleka edolobheni futhi linqamule amazwekazi angajwayelekile nangaziwa liyofuna ithemba elilahlekile, inganekwane ehlala njalo... Yisikhathi soMkhandlu Wensimbi.
