內容簡介

This is a history of India since independence, seen through the eyes of characters born on the day that independence was granted. The book is a multi-layered narrative, in which the complexities of the sub-continent are projected through the minds of its many characters.

The Moor's Last Sigh won the Whitbread Prize in 1995, and the European Union's Aristelon Prize for Literature in 1996. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres.

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."

在當今世界上，薩爾曼•拉什迪無疑是最有影響的作傢之一，他在文學上的成就有目共睹。長期以來，他一直被看作當代英國文壇上的領軍人物，被譽為是“後殖民”文學的“教父”，又有人他和奈保爾與石黑一雄並稱是英國文壇上的“移民三”。二十餘年來，他佳作迭齣，迄今為止共齣版瞭八部長篇小說和一部短篇小說集，幾乎每一部作品都引起瞭重視，獲得過英國以及美、法等國許多重要的文學奬項。上世紀八十年代，拉什迪在《撒旦詩篇》中齣言不慎，闖下瞭殺身之禍，結果使他不得不接受英國警察的保護，在公眾麵前消失達九年之久。正是個原因，他的重要作品在我國遲遲未能得介紹。所幸這種不正常的情況已經得到瞭改變，1998年，伊朗官方宣布，盡管對拉什迪的追殺令是霍梅尼遺留下來的聖諭，不可更改，但這個命令從認真執行過，今後也不打算執行。隨後，歐共體各國紛紛恢復瞭與伊朗的外交關係，一件令世人矚目並引發國際爭端的大事就以這樣一種皆大歡喜的方式收瞭場。1998年，薩爾曼•拉什迪本人又在公眾前露麵。
