具体描述
Brilliant and terrifying' - "Observer". I had to be the man who was doing well and more than well, the man whose drab shop concealed some bigger operation that made millions. I had to be the man who had planned it all, who had come to the destroyed town at the bend in the river because he had foreseen the rich future. 'Salim, the narrator, is a young man from an Indian family of traders long resident on the coast of Central Africa. Salim has left the coast to make his way in the interior, there to take on a small trading shop of this and that, sundries, sold to the natives. The place is 'a bend in the river'; it is Africa. The time is post-colonial, the time of Independence. The Europeans have withdrawn or been forced to withdraw and the scene is one of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation, poverty and a lack of preparation for the modern world they have entered, or partially assumed as a sort of decoration. It is a story of historical upheaval and social breakdown. Naipaul has fashioned a work of intense imaginative force. It is a haunting creation, rich with incident and human bafflement, played out in an immense detail of landscape rendered with a poignant brilliance' - Elizabeth Hardwick. 'Always a master of fictional landscape, Naipaul here shows, in his variety of human examples and in his search for underlying social causes, a Tolstoyan spirit' - John Updike.

读后感
茂密的丛林中，谁才是真正的“非洲人”，还是只是一些无足轻重的人，“在这个世界上没有位置”？ 奈保尔提出了问题，他是一个局外人，《大河湾》中对非洲的描述更像来自一个旅行者，就像萨林姆对“大人物”总统的看法，一个遥远地方的形象，只挂在墙壁上。这影响了作品所能达到...
评分你知道，生活就是这样。 1、 坐在这里写这篇读后，我首先就要像这个标题一样坚韧：我要克服阅读完一本伟大作品之后的失语，写点什么下来。此刻、现在，而不是明天后天大后天。 什么是奈保尔式的开头（好多书评里都提到的）我不知道。一个读者不是被开头吓大的。是读完之后长久...
评分《大河湾》这部小说，其主旨是写一个非洲人在复杂多变的历史与现实环境中寻找自我意识，寻求生存意义；而对非洲尤其是中部那条河流的描写，更让这部小说看起来更加具有严肃与纯正的文学意味。 但我不想对这部小说的严肃主旨多加评论，因为这样的好评论已经无数。我只想说说在...
评分尔钦－无根大陆上的漂泊者－评奈保尔《河湾》 非洲，一个遥远的名词；漂泊者，一个孤独的名词：二者合在一起，成为一个沉重的主题——《河湾》的主题。 《河湾》，二○○一年诺贝尔文学奖得主，英籍特立尼达作家V•S•奈保尔1979年的作品。奈保尔因其在殖民地国家上与萨...
评分他们只是活着，守着本分，沿袭着先人的活法，对其他一切都不感兴趣也从来不问为什么，逃避讨论问题，装作一切都无所谓。他们冷漠的活着，要别人来告诉自己他们是谁从哪里来。 这个民族是脆弱的，在外部未知世界的威胁面前不堪一击，是的，非洲式的非洲退缩了，欧洲的移植取得了...
