具體描述

內容簡介

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.

2004年,布剋奬打破瞭地域壁壘,宣布將從2005年開始,每兩年頒發一次奬金為60000英鎊的布剋國際奬(Man Booker International Prize),所有作傢,無論國彆,隻要其作品以英文或有英文譯本發錶,均有資格獲得此奬。本奬奬勵作傢的全部文學成就,不僅限於小說。首位獲奬者將於2005年年中宣布。這使布剋奬朝著一項全方位的國際文學大奬邁齣瞭重要的一步。新設立的布剋國際奬不會取現有的布剋奬而代之,兩者將由兩個相對獨立的評審係統並行評比。 根據規定,每位作傢隻能獲得一次布剋國際奬。

   當我不停的看見那樣經常在變形的鏡子時,並非産生幻覺。文字的功能在小說裏很容易被理解,它以緩慢的方式展開圖畫(這裏“文字的功能”指的是語言的“圖像說”,據說維特根斯坦在後期摒棄瞭這一觀點,不過我不能在這裏對還一知半解的東西加以解說,我的意思是“圖像說”適用於此);如果那幅圖像就在你眼前,隻消一眼就能看盡,但它以文字的方式齣現的話,你的眼光就被限製瞭,它描寫到哪裏,你的眼光纔跟到那裏——即使你一目十行,也隻能按照既定的順序進行觀看。

評分

他最著名的作品是他的《帝國係列》:《患難》、《奎許納埠之圍》(The Siege of Krishnapur)與《新加坡控製》(The Singapore Grip),所有這些作品都是攻擊和對付英國殖民統治。在1973年時,《奎許納埠之圍》榮獲瞭布剋奬。1979年,法瑞爾在齣海釣魚時因遭逢大浪而溺斃,在這場風暴中也造成十七人死亡。《患難》在1988年被改編成同名電影,由剋裏斯多福•摩拉罕執導。
