What do we do when the world's walls - its family structures, its value-systems, it political forms - crumble? The central character of this novel, 'Moor' Zogoiby, only son of a wealthy, artistic-bohemian Bombay family, finds himself in such a moment of crisis. His mother, a famous painter and an emotional despot, worships beauty, but Moor is ugly, he has a deformed hand. Moor falls in love, with a married woman; when their secret is revealed, both are expelled; a suicide pact is proposed, but only the woman dies. Moor chooses to accept his fate, plunges into a life of depravity in Bombay, then becomes embroiled in a major financial scandal. The novel ends in Spain, in the studio of a painter who was a lover of Moor's mother: in a violent climax Moor has, one more, to decide whether to save the life of his lover by sacrificing his own.

因写 《撒旦诗篇》 而捅了乱子的印度裔作家萨尔曼·鲁西迪现已加入英国国籍,由于无法返回印度,拉什迪备受思乡之苦的困扰。《摩尔人最后的叹息》对他来说就算是一次回故乡——至少在想象中回到了故乡。在英国,这本书受到了普遍欢迎,人们称赞这本书令人惊讶,是一部闪亮的作...
评分我真是好久都没读过这种正文前要用彩页介绍作者的书了,上一本好像还是我爸战友自费出的散文集。 我不喜欢鲁西迪,但书并不难看,尤其那种磅礴的叙事能力带给我的画面感,陷进去还挺难以自拔的。 这就让我很为难了,就像张翰或杨洋拍了部好片,我到底要不要为他打call? 读到最...
评分 评分萨曼·鲁西迪让我想起同为魔幻现实主义大师马尔克斯,看他笔下文字和故事,让我对他本人的出身和经历也产生了很大的好奇心。鲁西迪出身印度孟买一个穆斯林家庭,但是他本人从小不信仰宗教,14岁移民英国读书,他以英语为写作语言,小说素材大多来自印度,其代表作为《午夜之子...
评分《摩尔人的最后叹息》,萨曼·鲁西迪,北京燕山出版社。与《百年孤独》的家族史有相似之处,从家族的最初说起,第一人称随时在变,第一视角随着人物在转,读起来有时困惑,确是蛮有趣的,一些作者喜欢故弄玄虚,像涟漪一样一圈一圈地重叠起来。故事有一定真实基础,写印度一家...
