評分初識奈保爾。
奈保爾(Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul),英籍印度裔作傢。1932年8月17日齣生於中美洲特立尼達和多巴哥。18歲赴牛津大學求學,獲得文學學士學位後定居英國。曾任BBC“加勒比之聲”欄目主持人3年。遊走世界各地寫作多年,批判發展中社會的精神和物質的雙重匱乏,語多辛辣詼諧。主要作包括《靈異推拿師》(約翰·盧埃林·裏斯紀念奬),《米格爾大街》(薩莫塞特·毛姆奬),《黑暗之地》,《印度:一個傷痕纍纍的文明》,《自由國度》(1971年布剋奬),《河灣》,《半生》,《魔種》等。1990年獲英國皇室封爵;1993年,成為英國大衛·柯恩文學奬首位獲奬者,該奬旨在錶彰“尚在人世的英國作傢一生的成就”。2001年,因“作品中兼具犀利的敘述與正直的洞察,迫使我們正視那些被壓抑的曆史的存在”,被授予諾貝爾文學奬。
From the Nobel laureate–a spare, searing new novel about identity and idealism, and their ability to shape or destroy us.
Willie Chandran–whom we first met in Half a Life–is a man in his early forties who has allowed one identity after another to be thrust upon him, as if he could truly know himself by becoming what others imagine him to be. His life has taken him from his native India to England, Africa in its last colonial moment, and Berlin, until finally it returns him to his homeland. Succumbing to the demanding encouragement of his sister–and his own listlessness–Willie joins an underground movement in India ostensibly devoted to unfettering the lower castes. But seven years of revolutionary campaigns and several years in jail convince him that the revolution “had nothing to do with the village people we said we were fighting for…[that] our ideas and words were more important than their lives and their ambitions for themselves.” And, as well, he feels himself further than ever “from his own history and…from the ideas of himself that might have come to him with that history.”
When Willie returns to England where, thirty years before, his psychological and physical wanderings began, he finds the fruit of another unexpected social revolution (more magic seeds), and comes to see himself as a man “serving an endless prison sentence”–a revelation that may finally release him into his true self.
Magic Seeds is a masterpiece, written with all the depth and resonance, the clarity of vision and precision of language, that are the hallmarks of this brilliant writer.
只看到三分之一,但是我已经被里面的世界所蛊惑了:这是怎样的世界?为了心中的理想,甘愿抛弃一切。 对于思想的力量,我一直不怀疑。也因为如此,我无法让自己踏入某一种思想的领域--那里过于深沉,我怕自己承受不了。我愿意远远地看着它们。 我不知道最后结局是如何的,但...
評分书中最让人难忘的是幻灭感,理想主义的幻灭感。 译者的后记说这是一部流浪汉小说,是从小说的叙事视角说的,故事从柏林展开,在伦敦结束,整个作品是从主人公威利的角度展开的,关于思想活动的叙事特别多,相比之下,故事不是那么紧张、好看,就是在这冷冷的叙事下,威利参加印...
評分2004年10月,当奈保尔的新作《魔种》在印度举行首发仪式的时候,面对着大厅当中挤的水泄不通的读者,奈保尔一语惊人地宣布说,《魔种》将是他的最后一部作品,因为作为一个已经70多岁的作家,他用来书写的精力已经消耗殆尽,“的确,我已经很老了。写书需要巨大的精力。书不仅...
評分後半部分,威利在倫敦接近中產階級生活,努力的自我重建,不是理論上的粉飾自我,而是更傾向於人格過度的自衛。 較之於婆羅門遺傳的虛無根性以及殖民地人自卑感的封閉,算是小心翼翼的邁出了一步。結果也許未必使人激動,但這個出發點卻不是犬儒式的。 小說結尾“不該抱有理...
