图书描述

Amazon.com Review

What really happened in the Marabar caves? This is the mystery at the heart of E.M. Forster's 1924 novel, A Passage to India, the puzzle that sets in motion events highlighting an even larger question: Can an Englishman and an Indian be friends?

"It is impossible here," an Indian character tells his friend, Dr. Aziz, early in the novel.

"They come out intending to be gentlemen, and are told it will not do.... Why, I remember when Turton came out first. It was in another part of the Province. You fellows will not believe me, but I have driven with Turton in his carriage--Turton! Oh yes, we were once quite intimate. He has shown me his stamp collection.

"He would expect you to steal it now. Turton! But red-nosed boy will be far worse than Turton!

"I do not think so. They all become exactly the same, not worse, not better. I give any Englishman two years, be he Turton or Burton. It is only the difference of a letter. And I give any Englishwoman six months. All are exactly alike."

Written while England was still firmly in control of India, Forster's novel follows the fortunes of three English newcomers to India--Miss Adela Quested, Mrs. Moore, and Cyril Fielding--and the Indian, Dr. Aziz, with whom they cross destinies. The idea of true friendship between the races was a radical one in Forster's time, and he makes it abundantly clear that it was not one that either side welcomed. If Aziz's friend, Hamidullah, believed it impossible, the British representatives of the Raj were equally discouraging.

"Why, the kindest thing one can do to a native is to let him die," said Mrs. Callendar.

"How if he went to heaven?" asked Mrs. Moore, with a gentle but crooked smile.

"He can go where he likes as long as he doesn't come near me. They give me the creeps."

Despite their countrymen's disapproval, Miss Quested, Mrs. Moore, and Mr. Fielding are all eager to meet Indians, and in Dr. Aziz they find a perfect companion: educated, westernized, and open-minded. Slowly, the friendships ripen, especially between Aziz and Fielding. Having created the possibility of esteem based on trust and mutual affection, Forster then subjects it to the crucible of racial hatred: during a visit to the famed Marabar caves, Miss Quested accuses Dr. Aziz of sexually assaulting her, then later recants during the frenzied trial that follows. Under such circumstances, affection proves to be a very fragile commodity indeed.

Arguably Forster's greatest novel, A Passage to India limns a troubling portrait of colonialism at its worst, and is remarkable for the complexity of its characters. Here the personal becomes the political and in the breach between Aziz and his English "friends," Forster foreshadows the eventual end of the Raj. --Alix Wilber --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

对于大英帝国的殖民地的观点来说,一类显然是吉卜林,认为这是大英帝国的光荣,给殖民地带来了文明(《吉姆》);另一类应该就是奥威尔(《缅甸岁月》)。那么究竟是怎么样呢?要是以前我可能会说奥威尔的更“正确”,因为我毕竟是个半殖民地的后代。但看完此书后我觉得也...

《印度之行》不愧于福斯特最有传世影响的小说,在保留传统式的情节走向叙述和外部世界的宏观描写的同时,角色内心世界描写的分量大大加重,并大量地辅之以象征手法。因此有不少人把《印度之行》视为现代主义和现实小说之间的过渡品。其实无论什么殖民政治文学还是什么前现...

2016年新版,布面精装,装帧漂亮,冯涛翻译,句子靓丽,零星笔法古旧,如常用到的句式:“雅不愿……”(就是“极不愿……”的意思嘛。) 中心事件——由石窟之行而导致的诉讼官司,几乎发生在全书篇幅的正中间,此事导致强烈效果,促成纷乱,使印度人士和英方的纠葛发酵,令东...

E.M. Forster 英美文学史上不输于海明威,毛姆,也是一样畅销作家。 他的《印度之行》也被拍成了电影,场面恢弘,角度精妙,是展现印度风情的绝好窗口,个人感觉和《甘地传》同看, 可以对英国统治时期的印度风貌了解较深了。 而这本书至今也还是印度大学里面文学课程的重要篇...
