When Adela and her elderly companion Mrs Moore arrive in the Indian town of Chandrapore, they quickly feel trapped by its ins ular and prejudiced British community. Determined to explore the real India', they seek the guidance of the charming and mercurial Dr Aziz, a cultivated Indian Muslim. But a mysterious incident occurs while they are exploring the Marabar caves with Aziz, and the well-respected doctor soon finds himself at the centre of a scandal that rouses violent passions among both the British and their Indian subjects. A masterly portrait of a society in the grip of imperialism, A Passage to India compellingly depicts the fate of individuals caught between the great political and cultural conflicts of the modern world.
E.M.福斯特是个绅士,可是像我一样有真知灼见,他说:“大多数印度人,像大多数英国人一样,是狗屎。”你看,可不只我一个人认为人类基本上是个由SB组成的物种。2007年,我好像是在一个火车站里遛遛哒哒,偶尔坐下来卖个呆儿,我看见天下熙熙,全是SB,天下攘攘,一如既...
评分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...
评分抄录书中极短的一章。其间的文字有大美。交错的人,事,和物,走笔一处,又荡开去,起伏开合,大波浪里亦有细碎的水花闪烁。 Chapter 10 THE heat had leapt forward in the last hour, the street was deserted as if a catastrophe had cleaned off humanity during the in...
评分E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India explores the difficulty in the mutual understanding and cohabitation of the British and the Indian people in British India in the early twentieth century. The major events centers on an alleged attempted rape. Dr. Aziz, t...
评分I find this reading experience quite disturbing, for no one in this novel is adorable enough. Aziz is certainly the star of the book, his words, especially when he is disturbed, are quite sincere and sharp; however, most of the times he can make one so irri...
The reading experience has been quite depressing, yet I was depressed in a positive way. The thoughts stretch on towards an exploration of the meaning of existence. How can an individual feel that he or she has been recognized by this universe. Can we really understand each other? And above all, where is the salvation of misunderstanding?
评分The gaps between different civilizations sometimes exist with irreconcilable conflicts. Individuals can never communicate without prejudice. The excellent example in this book is that Dr. Aziz wants to make friends with English. However, the culture shocks and the hostility will never give him the right position in English culture.
评分这本算是打发过去了,下两周分别是Mrs. Dalloway 和The Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man。而且我实在不喜欢这本最简单的,所以我的两篇作业就要处理后面这两本了,杀了我吧。
评分比EM其他的书好看/不遗余力地黑印度/故事完整可是感觉好虚浮
评分This book needs to be reread several times.
