具体描述
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.

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...
