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

1962年2月到1964年2月,奈保尔用了一年时间走遍了印度,又用了一年时间完成了这本逾400页的《幽暗国度》,作为《印度三部曲》之一。 2006年9月12日到2006年9月27日,我用了半个月断断续续地读完了这本书。 “在我的感觉里,它就像一个我永远无法表达、从此再也捕...
评分 评分印度移民后代奈保尔先生生于英国殖民地特立尼达,18岁时前往英国求学,从25岁起他的小说获得各种文学奖项,30岁时首次回到印度做一年旅行,所见所感成集为《幽黯国度:记忆与现实交错的印度之旅》,15年与28年后,他又分别写下两本印度的观感,集结成《印度三部曲》传世。...
评分 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...
