'Brilliant and terrifying' Observer Set in an unnamed African country, the book is narrated by Salim, a young man from an Indian family of traders long resident on the coast. He believes The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it. So he has taken the initiative; left the coast; acquired his own shop in a small, growing city in the continent's remote interior and is selling sundries little more than this and that, really to the natives. This spot, this 'bend in the river', is a microcosm of post-colonial Africa at the time of Independence: a scene of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation and poverty. And from this rich landscape emerges one of the author's most potent works a truly moving story of historical upheaval and social breakdown. 'Naipaul has fashioned a work of intense imaginative force. It is a haunting creation, rich with incident and human bafflement, played out in an immense detail of landscape rendered with a poignant brilliance.' Elizabeth Hardwick 'Always a master of fictional landscape, Naipaul here shows, in his variety of human examples and in his search for underlying social causes, a Tolstoyan spirit' John Updike
尔钦-无根大陆上的漂泊者-评奈保尔《河湾》 非洲,一个遥远的名词;漂泊者,一个孤独的名词:二者合在一起,成为一个沉重的主题——《河湾》的主题。 《河湾》,二○○一年诺贝尔文学奖得主,英籍特立尼达作家V•S•奈保尔1979年的作品。奈保尔因其在殖民地国家上与萨...
评分《河湾》,奈保尔关于后殖民时代非洲的名作。因为奈保尔对后殖民地国家(加勒比海、南美、非洲、南亚等等)的批评,他被认为是保守的“右派”,但是很多时候,奈保尔的批评也未尝没有道理。就以非洲为例,殖民地时代结束几十年了,我们还是一直听到那片大陆传来的战争、饥荒、...
评分嗯,生活本无意义,生来即为变老。 跟安·兰德的励志哲学、保罗·柯艾略的心灵哲学比起来,这句话简直是误导年轻人的歪理邪说。这不是对人生黄金期的宏大事业、美好爱情、温馨亲情、义气友情,通通视而不见了吗? 嗯,我们的确会对生活感到无力,的确会对虚度光阴淡然不自知...

评分依然选取了移民视角,展现一地一国的变迁,主人公一出场,就面临一个身份的问题——家族早早移民于此,丢失历史,却又拘泥于传统,来得太久以至于无路可退,与当地人无法融合,在动荡乱世中无法保护自己。无法自处,这个问题不仅在印度裔身上产生,也在早已失去征服者姿态的阿...

评分【2015.02.15-06.22】中间隔断了至少一个多月,现在终于下决心读完了。很多地方还是感觉太深奥读不明白,不过也总有共鸣之处。毕竟我现在也想逃离这个困境啊。
评分The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become noting, have no place in it.
