Sparkling with irrepressible wit, City of Djinns peels back the layers of Delhi's centuries-old history, revealing an extraordinary array of characters along the way-from eunuchs to descendants of great Moguls. With refreshingly open-minded curiosity, William Dalrymple explores the seven "dead" cities of Delhi as well as the eighth city-today's Delhi. Underlying his quest is the legend of the djinns, fire-formed spirits that are said to assure the city's Phoenix-like regeneration no matter how many times it is destroyed. Entertaining, fascinating, and informative, City of Djinns is an irresistible blend of research and adventure.
在印度的异乡人强烈推荐此书..本人用RS 325 购于新德里的KUHAN-MARKET..热情的店主还外送了两个小书签.. 还好有这本书伴我渡过了大吉岭上的那段呕吐的日子..本书是一苏格兰小伙子写于上世纪80年代..作为一本德里的旅游传记..作者用第一人称深刻地记录了在德里一年的所见所感.....
評分在德里原文化的土地上,虽然今日的庶民尊奉的依然以湿婆神居多,但目前最多的文物遗留是波斯与伊斯兰的渗透。尤其后者的影响,直接促使了佛教的衰落、婆罗门教的新融合,与锡克教的产生。 作者最大的感慨,是短短几十年过去英帝国时期文化的痕迹已经消失了许多。其实,如果他...
評分在新德里书店,店主向我推荐这本书——这是在印度知名的畅销书作者。 我犹豫了,假如作者的叙述或描写太史实或者本地化,我肯定消化不来。 回头见同行的老外买了一本,她说,这位作者语言太迷人了,不能错过。呵呵,错过就错过了吧,也罢,就我这英文水平,...
評分达尔林普是一个苏格兰人,媒体的专栏作家。要为报纸提供与同行不一样的素材,最有效的途径就是到一个陌生的地方。他来到德里,一住四年,寄居在当地人家里,观察人文,搜索城市历史的蛛丝马迹,这是真正的旅游。 但即使是真正的旅游,距离真实的生活还是有很遥远的距离。这种观...
評分这本书是达尔林普的第二本东方游记,出版于1994年。第一本《在上都》(In Xanadu)完成时,作者年仅22岁。《在上都》记录了他追随马可波罗的足迹,从耶路撒冷一路东游至蒙古的经历。作者博古通今,妙笔生花不断,初出茅庐就一鸣惊人。《精灵之城》也沿袭了《在上都》的腔调,时...
