Saleem Sinai was born at midnight, the midnight of India's independence, and found himself mysteriously 'handcuffed to history' by the coincidence. He is one of 1,001 children born at the midnight hour, each of them endowed with an extraordinary talent - and whose privilege and curse it is to be both master and victims of their times. Through Saleem's gifts - inner ear and wildly sensitive sense of smell - we are drawn into a fascinating family saga set against the vast, colourful background of the India of the 20th century.
Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie, KBE (English pronunciation: /sælˈmɑːn ˈrʊʃdi/[1]; born 19 June 1947) is a British-Indian novelist and essayist. He achieved notability with his second novel, Midnight's Children (1981), which won the Booker Prize in 1981. Much of his fiction is set on the Indian subcontinent. His style is often classified as magical realism mixed with historical fiction, and a dominant theme of his work is the story of the many connections, disruptions and migrations between the Eastern and Western world.
His fourth novel, The Satanic Verses (1988), was the centre of The Satanic Verses controversy, with protests from Muslims in several countries. Some of the protests were violent, with Rushdie facing death threats and a fatwā issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Supreme Leader of Iran, in February 1989.
He was appointed a Knight Bachelor by Queen Elizabeth II for "services to literature" in June 2007.[2] He holds the rank Commandeur in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of France. He began a five-year term as Distinguished Writer in Residence at Emory University in 2007.[3] In May 2008 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2008, The Times ranked Rushdie thirteenth on their list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".[4] His latest novel is The Enchantress of Florence, published in June 2008.[5]
掺杂政治和宗教因素的魔幻现实主义小说,读来略觉艰涩~
评分,
评分很特别的小说。在继承了英国文学传统(狄更斯,康拉德最为明显)的同时,创造性的书写了印度二十世纪的历史(个人记忆与集体历史的并置)。可惜的是,作者没有摆脱essentialism的逻辑,在英美主流文坛上屡获好评,“政治正确”的因素不可否认。难怪读完总感觉有那么一点儿别扭。BTW,说起魔幻现实主义的作品,迄今为止我还是认为《百年孤独》为最佳。
评分当一个人和一个国家成为双生子 于是有了这个宏大而带着魔幻感的故事。但是单词真是好难啊 我就这么囫囵吐枣了。。。

英籍印裔小说家萨尔曼•拉什迪,与V.S奈保尔和石黑一雄并称“英国移民文学三剑客”。他1981年出版的长篇《午夜之子》(此为台湾译名,大陆刘凯芳教授译作《午夜的孩子》,但因政治和宗教因素,未被批准出版。网上有电子版本。),使他一举成名,得以与加西亚•马尔克斯、...
评分对于中国人来说,世界上大部分地区的人都很好理解,或者说,大部分中国知识分子,对其他地区的人都有一种固有的形象,以至于一提起就让人心生好感/恶感。这种一一对应关系除了大家都不甚了了的黑非洲和亚马逊丛林,仅有印度作为一个得到现代文明承认的文明国家/地区例外。 原因...
评分 评分推荐理由:鲁西迪虽然是因为《撒旦诗篇》被下了追杀令而成为世界焦点,但他文学上的成就,却是这本被誉为“英语世界罕见的完美小说”的《午夜之子》。一个孟买小孩诞生于印度脱离英国独立的神圣时刻(1947年8月15日午夜零点),他受到尼赫鲁总理的祝福。本书即是这个叙述者庞...
