项目摘要

In the first year of this research project, I traveled to Russia to gather primary and secondary sources concerning the reception of Aesop's Fables there. I then classified and analyzed these materials. I also invited a specialist in 18th-early 19th century Russian literature (presently a visiting professor in South Korea) to Japan for a research exchange. In the next project year, I gathered primary and secondary sources on the reception of Aesop's Fables in Japan, which I classified and analyzed. In the third and last year, I began writing up my research. My study analyzes early works by Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky to identify influences from the fable on 19th-century Russian prose novels. I presented this research orally at an international conference in St. Petersburg in August 2001, and wrote my new findings in "Differing Reception of Aesop's Fables in Russia and Japan." This report describes the general principles governing the process of worldwide dissemination of the fables over nearly three millennia.In Russia, Aesop's Fables merged with traditional genres and new literary trends starting in the 18th century, and finally took form as Krylov's fables. My study examines the reasons why these fables remain such a vital presence in the Russian psyche today.In Japan, Aesop's Fables were seen as useful for childhood moral education and for nurturing a new generation of leaders who would learn from Western culture. Thus demand for the Fables greatly increased immediately after the Meiji Restoration, and many translations were produced. Ultimately, however, they failed to rise above the nursery tale level. My study explores reasons why these fables never became a cultural heritage for all age groups in Japan, unlike in Russia. My findings are summarized briefly in an afterword to my research report.

在这个研究项目的第一年，我前往俄罗斯收集有关伊索寓言在那里接受的主要和次要来源。然后我对这些材料进行了分类和分析。我还邀请了一位研究18 - 19世纪世纪初俄罗斯文学的专家（目前是韩国的访问教授）到日本进行研究交流。在下一个项目年，我收集了关于伊索寓言在日本的接受情况的主要和次要资料，并进行了分类和分析。在第三年，也就是最后一年，我开始写我的研究报告。我的研究分析了托尔斯泰和陀思妥耶夫斯基的早期作品，以确定寓言对19世纪俄罗斯散文小说的影响。2001年8月，我在彼得堡的一次国际会议上口头介绍了这项研究，并将我的新发现写在《俄罗斯和日本对伊索寓言的不同接受》一书中。“本报告描述了近三千年来寓言在世界范围内传播的一般原则。在俄罗斯，《伊索寓言》与传统体裁和18世纪世纪开始的新文学潮流相结合，最终形成了克雷洛夫寓言。我的研究探讨了为什么这些寓言在今天的俄罗斯人心中仍然如此重要的原因。在日本，伊索寓言被认为是有益的儿童道德教育和培养新一代的领导人谁会学习西方文化。因此，明治维新后，对寓言的需求立即大大增加，并产生了许多翻译。然而，最终，他们未能超越童话的水平。我的研究探讨了为什么这些寓言从来没有成为日本所有年龄组的文化遗产，不像在俄罗斯。我的研究结果在我的研究报告的后记中作了简要的总结。
