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."

Midnight's Children，本系列值得买

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本书只用了具有神开辟天地的恢弘气势的前两节就让我激动不已，看完第一部的时候我已经将拉什迪拥戴到那些让我崇敬的伟大作家行列之中，而读罢厚达600页（繁体中文）的全书后，确认这位在孟买度过童年、在英国成长起来的作家心中装着整个印度，外加世界文学的最丰厚遗产，且不止于此。

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。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

本书适合外国文学原版书读者。人人文库的萨尔曼拉什迪的名作，午夜的孩子。装帧精美，可读可藏。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

拉什迪的《午夜的孩子》是一部以魔幻现实主义手法写成的现代文学经典之作。首先，这部作品的总构想就是一个出人意料的奇思怪想：在印度同一时刻降生的1001个孩子，能够在一个人的心灵中每夜聚会，这个会议于是成了现代印度的一面镜子。这个基本构想足以造就一部杰作，因为它不仅给了读者一个新奇的意象，而且赋予《午夜的孩子》以史诗般广阔的画面，使读者得以从多个视角认识印度社会。作者以自由飞腾的想象力，通过一个人的命运来审视一个民族的历史，使作品具有丰富的社会内容和深刻的思想内容。
