具体描述

内容简介

Inspired by the Indian Mutiny of 1857, The Siege of Krishnapur is set in the fictional town of that name where a British garrison withstands a four-month siege by mutineers. Eventually rescued after undergoing terrible privations, the leading characters all find their ideals tested and their smug assumptions of military and moral superiority severely shaken. In Troubles Major Brendan Archer travels to Ireland in the aftermath of World War I in order to meet his fiancée Angela in a remote seaside hotel owned by her father. Angela dies unexpectedly, but Archer remains in Kilnalough, captivated by the Majestic and its inhabitants, and seemingly unaware of the approaching political storm as Ireland dissolves into revolt and civil war. Both novels combine high comedy with vivid realism and reveal Farrell as 'one of the finest post-colonial novelists' - John Sutherland.

布克国际奖 [编辑]

评分

荣获布克奖几乎已经成为"最好看的英文小说"代名词,是广受世界瞩目和讨论的小说奖。布克奖背后有管理委员会运作,负责选出每一年的评审及主席,其评选过程严谨,又保持高度的独立性,也是使布克奖不同于其它奖项之处。每位评审几乎只有一次参与布克奖评选的机会,评审团的组成兼顾其专业和社会背景,降低了派别潮流与个人好恶左右的机会。每年布克奖颁发后,不仅是得奖者的荣誉,对销售激励和作品讨论帮助也很大。

事实上,从写作的第一天起,马尔克斯从未停止过这种悲悯。在诺贝尔获奖演说中,他说道:“面对压迫、掠夺和孤单,我们的回答是生活。”对生活的同情,使得马尔克斯不贴标签,不摆姿态,他时而极端政治化、时而极端个人,在暴力的风潮中保守,在诸人皆退时激进。马尔克斯得到的诺贝尔授奖词的赞誉是:在他创造的文学世界中,“反映了一个大陆及其人们的财富与贫困”。但他却没有在这个最高评价之上坐享其成,而是很快推出一本让所有熟悉他风格的读者意外的作品――一本纯粹的爱情小说。并且,他勇敢地告诉全世界:“我认为描写爱情的小说和任何其它小说一样,都是极有价值的。”
