Synopsis
Born in a village in heartland India, the son of a rickshaw puller, Balram is taken out of school by his family and put to work in a teashop. As he crushes coals and wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape - of breaking away from the banks of Mother Ganga, into whose depths have seeped the remains of a hundred generations.
The White Tiger is a tale of two Indias. Balram’s journey from darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.

13年游走印度的时候我一直有不解,跟中国相比那些不收门票的寺庙总是香火极旺当地信徒虔诚敬拜人数极多,可“以XXX神的名义向你保证”却也是商贩们讨价还价的常用语调。比如在瓦拉纳西看宗教仪式,跑过来当导游的小伙子会首先警告你尊重仪式不能拍照,而后会带你到旁边选取一个...
评分抱着好奇的心开始看这本书,起初对印度北部农村的一些陋习感到好笑,渐渐地,心情变得沉重,透过小说表面戏虐 的描述,我看到的是鸡笼般桎梏人性的压抑,穷苦大众也好,富商也罢,抑或高科技产业的从业人员,无不是生活在鸡笼中,耗费生命和智慧的挣扎。正如小说中提及的人们到...
评分This is first book I ever read about India, which recommended by a financial theory professor. But I don't think he implies us to follow the strategy of Balram to become an "entrepreneur" by murdering his master, taking possession of his money which suppose...

老师借我的,了解印度蛮好的。
评分这个估计不能有中译本。。。本书结构是一封。。。给家宝兄的长信。。。非常好读的书,其中主人公在信里对家宝说:历史上只有四个人真正解放了奴隶、杀死了地主,他们是:亚历山大大帝,美国的亚伯拉罕·林肯,贵国的毛,还有第四个人,好像是希特勒,我忘了。
评分大学时有次听耶鲁的经济学公开课教授推荐,用小人物的视角对印度社会嬉笑怒骂,写的非常棒,也是因为这本书认识了前男友
评分邂逅:2009年4月18日,离开印度的前一天,于CP外环Amrit书店。 旅程:2009.4.20.-2009.4.23. 地点:上海家中。 戏谑之下的真实印度。
评分出生在鸡笼里面的一他,再也不想挤在着鸡笼里了,他要出去,他成为了一只白虎。
