摘要：This paper examines Vikram Seth’s text Two Lives (2005)1 as an innovative literary- historical examination of intercultural relationships forged in a background of migration and war. How does a creative writer with an acute historical imagination successfully create a narrative in which India, Third Reich Germany, wartime Europe, post-World War II England, and post-colonial India all enmesh? In Two Lives Vikram Seth, himself a cosmopolitan Indian who has lived in India, Britain, the United States, and China, narrates the lives of his Indian dentist great-uncle, Shanti, and his German Jewish wife, Henny.
