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.
买这本书纯属偶然,那天在Chennai机场,选了两本新出的印度商业书籍后,看到了这本大名鼎鼎的 A Fine Balance. 印度主题的小说中,这本算是综合评价及阅读人数皆数一数二的畅销作品,可惜Fiction不是我的菜,只是犹犹豫豫地翻了一会,结帐的时候,书店伙计突然插嘴说:“其实...
評分 評分对生活的忍耐和抗争 文/米雪 有句话的好:“人生就是一场对种种困难的无尽无休的斗争一场以寡敌众的斗争,在这个世...
評分从马耐克火车上偶遇伊什瓦和阿姆开始,这个种植在近似荒诞地狱一般的印度故事,展现出它遥远而且庞大的面貌。我不太知道现在的印度和书里上世纪70年代的印度有多大的差别,毕竟现在的印度总统莫迪,他战胜的对手就是当时印度的女主人英迪拉甘地的孙子,尼赫鲁-甘地王朝的“小王...
評分讀完以後心裏很難受。對於om和ish來說,活著比死瞭更難受。啊啊啊啊...真的看得好難受。
评分讀過最慘的書,英迪拉·甘地執政時期印度底層民眾苦難史,跨越各個種姓,各個宗教。深深的無力和絕望,印度已爛到根裏。作者是信奉瑣羅亞斯德教的帕西人,一直以為該教隨著波斯王朝一起覆滅瞭
评分600多頁讀到吐血,中譯本700多頁。是好書,誰又不是時代浪潮下的細沙呢,人生真的太苦瞭,即使每個人都是被命運擺弄的棋子,齣身好壞還是決定瞭一切,保持善良都那麼無力。一開始覺得像印度版的平凡的世界,但這世界一直在變差。滿紙荒唐言,一把辛酸淚,最可貴的要數maneck的幽默瞭
评分Finally the end. All tragedies. But they still face up their difficult destiny.寒假讀完 寫的很棒很真實 讀的過程太心酸 都是怎麼樣在活著啊。
评分印度浮世繪 宗教政治種姓製度種種皆荒誕無比 故事構架完美且真實 在悲慘世界中尋求微妙平衡 後勁強大 讀的時候還好 讀完後再迴顧全書 隻剩血淋淋的絕望
