精彩書評

"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，本係列值得買

拉什迪齣生在印度的穆斯林傢庭，但卻在英國接受教育，在文化上，他始終處於一種“邊緣”的地位，這使他能以一種全新的視角來觀察世界。他以英語為寫作語言，小說素材大多來自印度次大陸，他在寫作中經常采魔幻現實主義藝術的技巧，把“神話傳統、寓言、後現代小說和通俗文化交織在一起”，他的作品可說是東西方文化交匯、碰撞的一幅幅異常生動的圖畫。

《午夜的子》所以會受到廣泛的好評，成為二十世紀的經典，一是因為其題材獨特，場麵恢宏。它以印度次大陸為背景，內容涉及到印巴分治前後的政治動亂、社會變革、宗教糾紛等復雜的現象；拉什迪以文學的語言再現瞭這段曆史的內涵，通過一個傢族的故事和一個人的遭遇摺射齣這個“後殖民”的時代。二是作者的想象力豐富，他突破瞭關於小說形式的傳統觀念，將現實虛構、小說和曆史糅閤在一起，在現實的社會政治諷刺中，加入瞭奇特的幻想，把神話、寓言、通俗文化、社會現實和曆史事件結閤在一起，情節麯摺多變，讀性非常強。
