内容简介

This is a history of India since independence, seen through the eyes of characters born on the day that independence was granted. The book is a multi-layered narrative, in which the complexities of the sub-continent are projected through the minds of its many characters.

作者简介

Salman Rushdie is the author of eight novels, one collection of short stories, and four works of non-fiction, and the co-editor of The Vintage Book of Indian Writing. In 1993 Midnight's Children was judged to be the 'Booker of Bookers', the best novel to have won the Booker Prize in its first 25 years. The Moor's Last Sigh won the Whitbread Prize in 1995, and the European Union's Aristelon Prize for Literature in 1996. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres.

精彩书评

"Allegorical novel by Salman Rushdie, published in 1981. It is a historical chronicle of modern India centering on the inextricably linked fates of two children born within the first hour of independence from Great Britain. Exactly at midnight on Aug. 15, 1947, two boys are born in a Bombay hospital, where they are switched by a nurse. Saleem Sinai, who will be raised by a well-to-do Muslim couple, is actually the illegitimate son of a low-caste Hindu woman and a departing British colonist. Shiva, the son of the Muslim couple, is given to a poor Hindu street performer whose unfaithful wife has died. Saleem represents modern India. When he is 30, he writes his memoir, Midnight's Children. Shiva is destined to be Saleem's enemy as well as India's most honored war hero. This multilayered novel places Saleem in every significant event that occurred on the Indian subcontinent in the 30 years after independence. Midnight's Children was awarded the Booker Prize for fiction in 1981."

  但这些相似处,乃是作为前辈的遗产而非笼罩的阴影在拉什迪获得了炼金术般的转变。这不但包括从第三人称到第一人称的转换、一种讽刺性的语调——作为不肯屈服与沉重历史重压的反抗,或许与英语文学的传统有关?——不断介入到悲怆沉厚的基调中、以可见的谱系中第三代为焦点的叙事运动……更重要的是,拉什迪对整个现代文学和后现代文学的继承和扬起,简单说吧:他带着所有的技巧及其背后的历史观训练,回归到故事,以及,最重要的,对意义的追寻。

《午夜的子》所以会受到广泛的好评,成为二十世纪的经典,一是因为其题材独特,场面恢宏。它以印度次大陆为背景,内容涉及到印巴分治前后的政治动乱、社会变革、宗教纠纷等复杂的现象;拉什迪以文学的语言再现了这段历史的内涵,通过一个家族的故事和一个人的遭遇折射出这个“后殖民”的时代。二是作者的想象力丰富,他突破了关于小说形式的传统观念,将现实虚构、小说和历史糅合在一起,在现实的社会政治讽刺中,加入了奇特的幻想,把神话、寓言、通俗文化、社会现实和历史事件结合在一起,情节曲折多变,读性非常强。

天才作家比较难读

评分

   作者毫不介意在主线的故事中不断介入期间,磊落大方地为读者指明他那些既可以被视为字面意义也可当作隐喻或寓言的情节大体上应该如何进行阐释,甚至就连这一双关手法本身,作者都毫不介意将隐喻直截了当地比作天鹅,不停地提醒自己和读者它何时以及为何需要起飞或降落在现实的大地上。如此,读者既可以享受小说魔术师眼花缭乱的技巧,又不必担心会陷入技巧的迷宫而失去“意义”——对今天的人类来说尤其害怕失去的东西——的宝藏,因为迷宫的建造者慷慨地赐予了指南针。

1947年出生於孟买、在回教中产阶级家庭中成长。十四岁移居英国读书。因於1989年出版的《魔鬼诗篇》(The Satanic Verses,获惠特布莱德最佳长篇小说奖,以及德国年度作者奖)而遭前伊朗领袖科梅尼下达追杀令,继而引发一连串声援作家创作自由的行动。其他著作有:长篇小说《格里茅斯》(Grimus)、《羞耻》(Shame,法国年度最佳外语书籍奖)、《哈乐与故事之海》(Haroun and the Sea of Stories,获作家协会奖)、《摩尔人的最後叹息》(The Moor's Last Sigh,获惠特布莱德年度长篇小说奖)、《她脚下的土地》(The Ground Beneath Her Feet)、和愤怒(Fury);短篇小说集《东方,西方》(East, West);报告文学《美洲豹的微笑:尼加拉瓜之旅》(The Jaguar Smile: A Nicaraguan Journey);随笔集《想像的家园》(Imaginary Homelands)和电影评论《绿野仙踪》。其著作已被译成三十馀种语言。
