摘要

摘要:本文填补了斯坦贝克传记的空白。这既是对斯坦贝克在阿尔及利亚期间的历史描述,也是邀请读者参观斯坦贝克所看到的地方,以便更全面地了解他的冒险生活。1943年,斯坦贝克在阿尔及利亚为《先驱论坛报》报道了第二次世界大战。在那里,他将阿尔及尔与美国的一些地方进行了比较,如纽约的科尼岛和加利福尼亚州的蒙特利湾。他把它描述为一个白色的沙拉碗,一个精通多种语言的城市。正如斯坦贝克用萨利纳斯山谷作为他的小说背景一样,他也用阿尔及利亚。在阿莱蒂酒店期间,他遇到了许多美国标志性人物。尽管1952年他和第三任妻子伊莱恩·斯科特第二次访问阿尔及利亚是出乎意料的,但他们很喜欢参加法国空军将军举办的通宵奢华派对。他们的第三次访问是在1963年,阿尔及利亚成为一个新独立的国家。在给维克斯的一封信中,他描述了他们的逗留以及他访问美国时与阿尔及利亚总统艾哈迈德·本·贝拉的首次会面。

John Steinbeck's Time in Algeria
Abstract:This article bridges a gap in Steinbeck's biographies. It is both a historical account of Steinbeck's stint in Algeria and an invitation inviting readers to visit the places that Steinbeck saw so that they may have a more panoramic view of his adventurous life. Steinbeck covered World War II for The Herald Tribune newspaper in Algeria in 1943. While there, he compared Algiers to some places in the United States such as Coney Island, New York, and Monterey Bay, California. He described it as a white, salad bowl, polyglot city. Just as Steinbeck used the Salinas Valley as a setting for his fiction, so he also used Algeria. He came across many iconic American figures during his stay in the Aletti Hotel. Although his second trip to Algeria with his third wife, Elaine Scott, in 1952 was unexpected, they enjoyed attending an all-night lavish party thrown by the French general of the air forces. Their third trip was in 1963 when Algeria became a newly independent state. In a letter to W. F. Vickers, he described their stay and his first meeting with the Algerian president Ahmed Ben Bella when he visited the United Sates.
