尖刻
评分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稍隐蔽的侧面角度,告诉你“有我的'内线'服务你在这里拍照就没问题了,出片效果好,又不侵犯神”。The White Tiger的黑色幽默非常能体现印度特色,讲故事的角度和角色塑造手法也比较特别,然而也只能说这是一部不错的处女作,匠气还是过浓,叙事手法稍显做作。
评分印度的两个世界,the darkness and the light.
评分不可能通过一部小说就了解印度,不过这一本绝对值得推荐为了解印度社会的第一本书。作者对印度社会仆役关系和阶级冲突的形成,套用在主人公生存、挣扎和最后逃离的故事中。小说没有直接的批判这种根深蒂固的文化,但第一人称的无奈叙述语气,目的是为了让读者产生共鸣还是主人公的真实想法呢,大家见仁见智。读完此书,算是能稍微理解印度人狡猾奸诈的由来,这不是天性,还是由于社会和宗教本身的压力束缚造成的。就好像作者在书里比喻的,对那些土生土长的印度人来说,没有人敢做挣脱牢笼,成为一只白老虎。
评分5秒忘剧情,只记得开头是写给温家宝的信。
阿拉文德·阿迪加一九七四年出生于印度海港城市马德拉斯,后移居澳大利亚。毕业后曾任《时代周刊》驻印度通讯记者,并为《金融时报》、《独立报》、《星期日泰晤士报》等英国媒体撰稿。现居孟买。《白老虎》是其处女作。
Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. His family is too poor for him to afford for him to finish school and he has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping tables. But Balram gets his break when a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. As he drives his master to shopping malls and call centres, Balram becomes increasingly aware of immense wealth and opportunity all around him, while knowing that he will never be able to gain access to that world. As Balram broods over his situation, he realizes that there is only one way he can become part of this glamorous new India - by murdering his master."The White Tiger" presents a raw and unromanticised India, both thrilling and shocking - from the desperate, almost lawless villages along the Ganges, to the booming Wild South of Bangalore and its technology and outsourcing centres. The first-person confession of a murderer, "The White Tiger" is as compelling for its subject matter as for the voice of its narrator - amoral, cynical, unrepentant, yet deeply endearing.

评分开始读者本书的时候,是因为“企业家”“温总理”这几个词语而读的,其实全然无关。但是这本书并没有因此而让我失望。整本书虽然是断断续续一个礼拜才看完的,但是看得很顺。虽然书里面尽写了一些“种姓制度”“奴仆关系”“贫富差距”“政治黑暗”等等,但,真的,印度比想象...
