Rohinton Mistry is considered to be one of the foremost authors of Indian heritage writing in English. Residing in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, Mistry belongs to the Parsi Zoroastrian religious minority.
Mistry’s first novel, Such a Long Journey (1991), brought him national and international recognition. Mistry’s subsequent novels have achieved the same level of recognition as his first. His second novel, A Fine Balance (1995), concerns four people from Bombay who struggle with family and work against the backdrop of the political unrest in India during the mid-1970s. The book won Canada’s Giller Prize, the Commonwealth Writers Award, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award. It was nominated for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and was a finalist for the Booker Prize.
A Fine Balance, Rohinton Mistry’s stunning internationally acclaimed bestseller, is set in mid-1970s India. It tells the story of four unlikely people whose lives come together during a time of political turmoil soon after the government declares a “State of Internal Emergency.” Through days of bleakness and hope, their circumstances – and their fates – become inextricably linked in ways no one could have foreseen. Mistry’s prose is alive with enduring images and a cast of unforgettable characters. Written with compassion, humour, and insight, A Fine Balance is a vivid, richly textured, and powerful novel written by one of the most gifted writers of our time.
加拿大籍印度裔作家罗因顿·米斯特里的小说《微妙的平衡》中文版的封腰推荐语称其为“印度版《活着》四重奏”,但读完全书以后,我感觉《活着》根本不足以形容其厚重,或者称其为印度版《悲惨世界》更为合适与贴切,而且这种悲惨不是属于某一个人的,而是属于所有人的。 印度...
评分 评分“你看,你不能画地为牢,拒绝走出来。有些时候,你必须将你的失败当作是通向成功的踏脚石。你必须在希望和绝望之间维持微妙的平衡”。终于看完了这本书,几次哽咽,书中的描写太过沉重,太过压抑,即使其中也有溫暖的场景,闪耀人性的光辉,但毕竟大基调还是悲伤,读完这本...
600多页读到吐血,中译本700多页。是好书,谁又不是时代浪潮下的细沙呢,人生真的太苦了,即使每个人都是被命运摆弄的棋子,出身好坏还是决定了一切,保持善良都那么无力。一开始觉得像印度版的平凡的世界,但这世界一直在变差。满纸荒唐言,一把辛酸泪,最可贵的要数maneck的幽默了
评分读完以后心里很难受。对于om和ish来说,活着比死了更难受。啊啊啊啊...真的看得好难受。
评分GR 4.31 (10,000+) 此书是印度主题小说中综合评价及阅读人数皆数一数二的畅销作品,写作背景为上世纪四十年代至八十年代的印度,涉及一系列重大社会政治事件及各种阶层背景的人物,算是一个了解当代印度社会的万花筒。不过,这是一部血淋淋的悲剧, Make sure you have the stomach for it ~~~
评分以Dina、Maneck和两个裁缝为代表的主人公来自不同的阶层,都曾经执拗的抱着梦想,对生活充满憧憬,想要通过个人努力实现美好的生活,但在印度社会固有的阶级思想和混乱发展过程中,他们虽然看到过希望,但最终梦想被一一击碎,绝望而无奈的回到自己的阶级宿命。 The fine balance,所谓完美的平衡,就是低头接受残酷的现实!
