Tamburlaine 《帖木儿》
1 作者简介Christopher Marlowe 克里斯托夫.马洛（1564——1593）出生在坎特伯雷鞋商之家。在剑桥期间，他开始致力于文学创作。他的剧作《帖木儿》就是他从剑桥毕业前完成的，一经演出便大获成功。1584年，他来到伦敦，深受文艺复兴思潮的影响，这在他的剧作《浮士德博士的悲剧》中有所体现。
马洛是当时“大学才子”（即：莎士比亚之前英国人文主义戏剧家的总称）中最富才华的人。在他短暂的一生中，他完成了六部剧本的创作。其中最富有名的有《帖木儿》.（上卷与下卷1587-1588)"Tamburlaine,Parts I , II(1587-1588)《浮士德博士的悲剧》（1589？）"Dr.Faustus(1589?)《马耳他岛的犹太人》（1590？）"The Jew of Malta"(1590?)以及《爱德华二世》（1592-1593）"Edward II"(1592-1593)。除剧本外，马洛还写了《海洛与勒安德尔》"Hero and Leander"和《激情的牧人致心爱的姑娘》"The Passionate Shepherd to His Love"两首诗，并翻译了古罗马诗人奥维德的《爱的艺术》(a verse translation of Ovid's Amores".
2 Tamburlaine 《帖木儿》(英文简介）Tamburlaine is a play about an ambitious and pitiless Tartar conqueror in the fourteeth century who rose from a shepherd to an overpowering king.By flouting the given order and trampling on despairing princes,Tamburlaine displayed a high-aspiring mind that was self-created and carried by love and dreams beyond the limits of moral existence.His victories were a triumph of immense natural energy and of ruthlessness over equally cruel but weak and decadent civilizations.By depicting a great hero with high ambition and sheer brutal force in conquering one enemy after another,Marlowe voiced the supreme desire of the man of the Renaissance for infinite power and authority.In fact,Tamburlaine is a product of Marlowe's characteristically Renaissance imagination,fascinated by the earthly magnificence available to men of imaginative power who have the energy of their convictions.（reproduction of material without witten permission is strictly prohibited.Contact me for permission to copy this article,Hope you can make comments on them,email exiven@163.com.

3 Tamburlaine 《帖木儿》(汉语简介）《帖木儿》讲述了14世纪一个普通牧民帖木儿，如何登上国王宝座，成为一个野心勃勃，残暴无情的鞑靼统治者的故事。通过蔑视上方的命令并粗暴对待那些陷入绝境的王公们，帖木儿展示了一颗报负不凡的野心，这可自我培养的野心还充满了不受道德约束的情欲。他的节节胜利是他巨大的自然力量的胜利，也是他残暴对待同样残酷但却更软弱颓废的闻名世界的胜利，马洛通过刻画一个百战百盛的枭雄，表达了文艺复兴时期的人们渴望获得无穷力量与权势的心情。
