《在西方的眼睛下》是康拉德的三部政治小说之一。主人公拉祖莫夫是俄罗斯圣彼得堡大学的学生。他不善外交，专心学习，不想卷入革命活动。一次偶然的事件却让他身陷政治漩涡，由此开始了他复杂的生活之路和心路历程。小说问世后，受到了批评界的广泛关注，而焦点主要在如下几个方面：政治与人性、忠诚与背叛、存在与虚无、语言与叙事。本文则试图对批评家们论述不够详尽的两个问题作进一步的阐释：一是人何以存在，一是词语的力量。这是该小说探讨的独特性，又是小说探讨的普遍问题。

Under the Western Eyes is one of the three of Joseph Conrad＇s political novels. The protagonist Razumov is a student at St. Petersburg, Russia. Being unsociable by nature, he concentrates on his studies, with no interest in revolutionary activities. But an accident bogs him in the political mess, which stops his peaceful life and starts his reluctant complex physical life and his psychological twists and turns. Ever since its publication, Joseph Conrad＇s Under the Western Eyes has received plenty of critical attention, with the focus on such themes as politics and human nature, loyalty and betrayal, existence and nihility, and language and narrative. This paper deals with two other issues, which have gained less attention but nonetheless are important, i.e., what human beings rely on and the force of language. These issues are both the object of exploration of this novel with its particular perspective and the common object of exploration of all novels.
