The Writing of the Community of Shared Future in The Dickens Boy
The Dickens Boy is a new work published in 2020 by Thomas Keneally,an Australian na-tional treasure author.Set against the backdrop of the development and rise of sheep industry in Australia in the 19th century,the novel takes Plorn,the youngest son of English literary giant Dickens,as the pro-tagonist and describes his experience as a shepherd at a station named Momba,presenting a community of shared future in harmony and symbiosis.On the one hand,the shepherds form a harmonious ecological community with the land and all living things on it.On the other hand,within the shepherds'group,Irish minorities,aborigines,immigrants and others form a social community of equality and benevolence tran-scending class,race,nationality and cultural differences.The formation of the community of shared future advances the national economic independence while also fostering the formation of the national community.The development of both is an irresistible force that leads Australia on the path to national independence.
