作者介紹

曹雪芹,（？-1763，一作1764）清小說家。名沾，字夢阮，號雪芹、芹圃、芹溪。為滿洲正白旗“包衣”人。自曾祖起，三代任江寧織造，其祖曹歸鞏煉寅尤為康熙帝所信用。雍正初年，在統治階級內部政治鬥爭牽連下，雪芹家受到重大打擊，其父朽慨遷免職，產業被抄，遂隨家遷居北京。他早年經歷了一段封建大官僚地主家庭的繁華生活，後因家道衰落，趨於艱困。晚期居北京西郊重求，貧病而卒，年未及五十。性情高傲，嗜酒健談。具有深厚的文化修養和卓越的藝術才能。他生活在我國已有資本主義生產萌芽的封建末世，在其後期又有機會接觸到下層人民，因而對當時社會階級鬥爭和思想鬥爭有較具體的感受，看到了統治階級的腐朽兇殘和內部的分崩離析。曾以十年時間，從事《石頭記》（即《紅樓夢》）的創作。書中通過一個貴族官僚大家堡榜臭殃庭的盛衰歷史的描寫，塑造了許多典型人物形象，對當時社會的黑暗腐敗，進行了深刻的解剖和批判，並熱情地歌頌了具有連棵白異端思想的男女青年，成去影邀為我國古典小說中偉大的現實主義作品。但其中也反映了作者為封建制度“補天”的幻想和找不到出路的悲觀情緒。據稱先後曾增刪五次，但未成抹立項達全書而卒；今流行本一百二十回，後四十回一般認為是高鶚所續。也能詩，又善畫石，但作品流傳絕少。
