评分因为英文课要写书评的缘故,读了一遍英文版。
评分Unless we can get them thinking, and give them real ideas instead of just politics and principles, these young men will keep our world in turmoil for the next half century.”
V.S.奈保尔(1932—2018 )
英国著名作家。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,著有《米格尔街》、《斯通先生与骑士伙伴》、《自由国度》、《大河湾》、“印度三部曲”、《非洲的假面剧》等。20 01年荣获诺贝尔文学奖。
Brilliant and terrifying' - "Observer". I had to be the man who was doing well and more than well, the man whose drab shop concealed some bigger operation that made millions. I had to be the man who had planned it all, who had come to the destroyed town at the bend in the river because he had foreseen the rich future. 'Salim, the narrator, is a young man from an Indian family of traders long resident on the coast of Central Africa. Salim has left the coast to make his way in the interior, there to take on a small trading shop of this and that, sundries, sold to the natives. The place is 'a bend in the river'; it is Africa. The time is post-colonial, the time of Independence. The Europeans have withdrawn or been forced to withdraw and the scene is one of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation, poverty and a lack of preparation for the modern world they have entered, or partially assumed as a sort of decoration. It is a story of historical upheaval and social breakdown. Naipaul has fashioned a work of intense imaginative force. It is a haunting creation, rich with incident and human bafflement, played out in an immense detail of landscape rendered with a poignant brilliance' - Elizabeth Hardwick. 'Always a master of fictional landscape, Naipaul here shows, in his variety of human examples and in his search for underlying social causes, a Tolstoyan spirit' - John Updike.

河湾
尔钦-无根大陆上的漂泊者-评奈保尔《河湾》 非洲,一个遥远的名词;漂泊者,一个孤独的名词:二者合在一起,成为一个沉重的主题——《河湾》的主题。 《河湾》,二○○一年诺贝尔文学奖得主,英籍特立尼达作家V•S•奈保尔1979年的作品。奈保尔因其在殖民地国家上与萨...
评分你知道,生活就是这样。 1、 坐在这里写这篇读后,我首先就要像这个标题一样坚韧:我要克服阅读完一本伟大作品之后的失语,写点什么下来。此刻、现在,而不是明天后天大后天。 什么是奈保尔式的开头(好多书评里都提到的)我不知道。一个读者不是被开头吓大的。是读完之后长久...
评分《河湾》,奈保尔关于后殖民时代非洲的名作。因为奈保尔对后殖民地国家(加勒比海、南美、非洲、南亚等等)的批评,他被认为是保守的“右派”,但是很多时候,奈保尔的批评也未尝没有道理。就以非洲为例,殖民地时代结束几十年了,我们还是一直听到那片大陆传来的战争、饥荒、...
评分嗯,生活本无意义,生来即为变老。 跟安·兰德的励志哲学、保罗·柯艾略的心灵哲学比起来,这句话简直是误导年轻人的歪理邪说。这不是对人生黄金期的宏大事业、美好爱情、温馨亲情、义气友情,通通视而不见了吗? 嗯,我们的确会对生活感到无力,的确会对虚度光阴淡然不自知...
