Rohinton Mistry is considered to be one of the foremost authors of Indian heritage writing in English. Residing in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, Mistry belongs to the Parsi Zoroastrian religious minority.
Mistry’s first novel, Such a Long Journey (1991), brought him national and international recognition. Mistry’s subsequent novels have achieved the same level of recognition as his first. His second novel, A Fine Balance (1995), concerns four people from Bombay who struggle with family and work against the backdrop of the political unrest in India during the mid-1970s. The book won Canada’s Giller Prize, the Commonwealth Writers Award, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award. It was nominated for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and was a finalist for the Booker Prize.
A Fine Balance, Rohinton Mistry’s stunning internationally acclaimed bestseller, is set in mid-1970s India. It tells the story of four unlikely people whose lives come together during a time of political turmoil soon after the government declares a “State of Internal Emergency.” Through days of bleakness and hope, their circumstances – and their fates – become inextricably linked in ways no one could have foreseen. Mistry’s prose is alive with enduring images and a cast of unforgettable characters. Written with compassion, humour, and insight, A Fine Balance is a vivid, richly textured, and powerful novel written by one of the most gifted writers of our time.
“你看,你不能画地为牢,拒绝走出来。有些时候,你必须将你的失败当作是通向成功的踏脚石。你必须在希望和绝望之间维持微妙的平衡”。终于看完了这本书,几次哽咽,书中的描写太过沉重,太过压抑,即使其中也有溫暖的场景,闪耀人性的光辉,但毕竟大基调还是悲伤,读完这本...

評分买这本书纯属偶然,那天在Chennai机场,选了两本新出的印度商业书籍后,看到了这本大名鼎鼎的 A Fine Balance. 印度主题的小说中,这本算是综合评价及阅读人数皆数一数二的畅销作品,可惜Fiction不是我的菜,只是犹犹豫豫地翻了一会,结帐的时候,书店伙计突然插嘴说:“其实...
評分经历巨变之后的人生是否就意味着对世事渐渐麻木,比如不屑诗文,罔顾风物,美人在侧亦不为所动?唯念着心中的愿望,甚至懒于遮遮掩掩、包包藏藏的含蓄,将之灌溉成连当事人本身都兴趣缺缺的执念?寥寥几笔写不尽伊什瓦一生的辛酸,但是在蒂娜家时,无论是最开始的互相猜忌,还...
有點難受
评分Compendium of human misery. I see no balance.
评分以Dina、Maneck和兩個裁縫為代錶的主人公來自不同的階層,都曾經執拗的抱著夢想,對生活充滿憧憬,想要通過個人努力實現美好的生活,但在印度社會固有的階級思想和混亂發展過程中,他們雖然看到過希望,但最終夢想被一一擊碎,絕望而無奈的迴到自己的階級宿命。 The fine balance,所謂完美的平衡,就是低頭接受殘酷的現實!
评分印度 !印度!
