Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. His family is too poor for him to afford for him to finish school and he has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping tables. But Balram gets his break when a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. As he drives his master to shopping malls and call centres, Balram becomes increasingly aware of immense wealth and opportunity all around him, while knowing that he will never be able to gain access to that world. As Balram broods over his situation, he realizes that there is only one way he can become part of this glamorous new India - by murdering his master."The White Tiger" presents a raw and unromanticised India, both thrilling and shocking - from the desperate, almost lawless villages along the Ganges, to the booming Wild South of Bangalore and its technology and outsourcing centres. The first-person confession of a murderer, "The White Tiger" is as compelling for its subject matter as for the voice of its narrator - amoral, cynical, unrepentant, yet deeply endearing.

吃人么? 就是这样的现实。 能让人忍俊不禁看完的现实。 作者笔下形容的黑色的蛋,包不住所有人,总会有只金黄的鸟,冲破蛋壳,用碎片,释放自己。 印度有牛,有人,有牛人,有神。 只是,想到咱中国, 中国的老虎已经绝种了吧,笼子外面的,只有跳跳虎在卖萌
评分This is first book I ever read about India, which recommended by a financial theory professor. But I don't think he implies us to follow the strategy of Balram to become an "entrepreneur" by murdering his master, taking possession of his money which suppose...
评分开始读者本书的时候,是因为“企业家”“温总理”这几个词语而读的,其实全然无关。但是这本书并没有因此而让我失望。整本书虽然是断断续续一个礼拜才看完的,但是看得很顺。虽然书里面尽写了一些“种姓制度”“奴仆关系”“贫富差距”“政治黑暗”等等,但,真的,印度比想象...
