THE FIRST BOOK IN V.S. NAIPAUL'S ACCLAIMED INDIAN TRILOGY An Area of Darkness is V.S. Naipaul's semi-autobiographical account at once painful and hilarious, but always thoughtful and considered of his first visit to India, the land of his forebears. He was twenty-nine years old; he stayed for a year. From the moment of his inauspicious arrival in Prohibition-dry Bombay, bearing whisky and cheap brandy, he experienced a cultural estrangement from the subcontinent. It became for him a land of myths, an area of darkness closing up behind him as he travelled ...The experience was not a pleasant one, but the pain the author suffered was creative rather than numbing, and engendered a masterful work of literature that provides a revelation both of India and of himself: a displaced person who paradoxically possesses a stronger sense of place than almost anyone. 'Brilliant' Observer 'A masterpiece of travel-writing' Paul Theroux 'His narrative skill is spectacular.' The Times
V.S.奈保尔(V.S.Naipaul):
英国当代作家,文化巨匠。1932年生于特立尼达岛上一个印度移民家庭,1950年进入牛津大学攻读英国文学,毕业后迁居伦敦。
50年代开始写作,作品以小说、游记、文论为主,主要有《毕斯沃斯先生的房子》、《米格尔街》、《自由国度》、《河湾》与“印度三部曲”等。其作品在全球享有盛誉,半个世纪里,将里斯奖、毛姆奖、史密斯奖、布克奖、第一届大卫·柯恩文学奖等收入囊中。1990年,被英国女王封为爵士。2001年,荣获诺贝尔文学奖。
读V.S.奈保尔是缘于年初参加的一个以回望80年代文学思潮为主题的讲座,当主持人希望台上的嘉宾各自推荐几本近年来阅读到的难以忘怀的好书时,其中的两位不约而同提到了这个我并不熟悉的诺贝尔文学奖获得者的名字,以及他的印度三部曲。 如果说在我混杂的阅读经验里有...
评分此书的名气很大,没有读过好像有点。。。。。。 可能是翻译的问题,有些章节我有点不明白作者想要表达的观点,有些地方实在是前后表述有矛盾。 作为游记,作者的观察不能不说是仔细与敏锐了,但是我始终不能赞同贯穿全书的,对印度文化和印度人批评的态度。 作者给人一种高...
评分夜读奈保尔的印度三部曲,很简单的游记文学,和余秋雨的山居笔记有些类似。但是水平感觉高太多了。余秋雨的只是散文,奈保尔的游记感觉整体上浑然一体,不是那种散淡的感觉。 不仅仅在广度上具有小说的特点,奈保尔的这3部游记在深度上也远非余秋雨能够达到的。余秋雨的文章...
评分很不错的书,我前年就开始看了,这次终于看完了。需要体会。我是把尼泊尔比附着体会的。没有这层比附的话,看起来会有点累,因为作者的身份,和印度这个特殊的观察地点。他的身份,决定了他的既内又外的视角,而且当时是60年代,记住这个时间点也很有意义。比附着今日印度就有...
评分刚从土耳其回来的时候,一干朋友的热情还没消褪,热议要出纪念相册。正在讨论如何编排的时候,行事独到的赵大师或曰小焦又语出惊人了(尽管是通过电子邮件的,但惊人效果未减):为什么不干脆用奥罕-帕慕克的七本书作为线索串起来呢?大家噤声了,有修养的人可能要说“不便置喙...
The world is illusion,the Hindus say.We talk of despair,but true despair lies too deep for formulation..in a world where illusion could only be a concept and not something felt in the bones,it was slipping away from me.I felt it as something true which I could never adequately express and never seize again.看得我胆战心惊的游记 奈保尔用锋利而讽刺的语气把话说得那么死 不知道后两本会写成怎样
