【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。
评分一个自认为是欧洲人的印度人对非洲人的感悟。。。。
评分The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become noting, have no place in it.

V.S.奈保尔(1932—2018 )
英国著名作家。1932年生于特立尼达岛上一个印度移民家庭,1950年进入牛津大学攻读英国文学,毕业后迁居伦敦。
50年代开始写作,著有《米格尔街》、《斯通先生与骑士伙伴》、《自由国度》、《大河湾》、“印度三部曲”、《非洲的假面剧》等。20 01年荣获诺贝尔文学奖。
'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
摘自《中华读书网》 作者:博览群书 奈保尔不懈追求观察和叙述的新方式,在他为小说作出的墓志铭体现了他一贯的逆向思维。在推出一系列也许用“文学性自传”这样的术语更为贴切的虚构作品(《到达者之谜》,《世道人心》)后,他说,小说作为一种文学样式已经死亡,当代...
评分《大河湾》这部小说,其主旨是写一个非洲人在复杂多变的历史与现实环境中寻找自我意识,寻求生存意义;而对非洲尤其是中部那条河流的描写,更让这部小说看起来更加具有严肃与纯正的文学意味。 但我不想对这部小说的严肃主旨多加评论,因为这样的好评论已经无数。我只想说说在...
评分这个世界,时间挑选着历史,历史挑选着政治,政治挑选着生活,生活挑选着我们。不,这甚至不是一种挑拣,世界只是在不经意间成就它所毁灭的,毁灭它所成就的。而有时,我们会错误地反过来相信这点,相信未来的辉煌,相信文明的胜利。这相信背后,藏有我们看不到的、夕阳余晖般...
评分他们只是活着,守着本分,沿袭着先人的活法,对其他一切都不感兴趣也从来不问为什么,逃避讨论问题,装作一切都无所谓。他们冷漠的活着,要别人来告诉自己他们是谁从哪里来。 这个民族是脆弱的,在外部未知世界的威胁面前不堪一击,是的,非洲式的非洲退缩了,欧洲的移植取得了...
评分奈保尔的《河湾》无论从哪个方面看,都是极佳之作。迷离摇摆的情感随着足迹与目光的不断流动,在河流之湾淌成一曲关乎存在者永远“在而不属”的挽歌。 故事以萨林姆的观察叙述为主体,这是一位在非洲生活百年的穆斯林家族后人,他从准岳父手中接手了一个刚果河弯处的小店,以...
