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."

萨曼·拉什迪于1948年在印度出生，后在英国长大，2000年定居纽约。他出身于穆斯林家庭，后来为了迎合西方主流观点写了一系列讽刺穆斯林的小说，获得很大的声誉，他的小说代表作有：1981年获英国布克奖的《午夜的孩子》、1989年初出版并引起轩然大波的《撒旦诗篇》和1996年的《摩尔人最后的叹息》等。英籍印度裔小说家，因1989年伊朗宗教领袖霍梅尼声称其小说《撒旦诗篇》侮辱穆斯林而判其死刑，此举一时成为国际争议的中心。拉什迪1947年出生于印度孟买的一个穆斯林富商家庭，13岁时移居美国，
