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.

Salman Rushdie is the author of eight novels, one collection of short stories, and four works of non-fiction, and the co-editor of The Vintage Book of Indian Writing.

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."

　　《午夜之子》沿襲瞭德國成長小說的寫作範式。薩裏姆既是故事的主角，又是故事的敘述者。他與濕婆的命運緊緊相連，互為仇敵。薩裏姆本是街頭藝人文基的妻子與英國老爺的私生子，而濕婆也本是穆斯林富商的兒子，但因為他們倆同在一傢醫院齣生，又被仇富的醫院護士瑪麗故意調換，於是這兩個孩子的生活發生瞭翻天覆地的變化。最後，英印私生子成瞭穆斯林富商的兒子，而這對夫婦真正的骨肉卻到瞭街頭藝人身邊，過著貧睏的生活。《午夜之子》還是一部場麵恢宏的史詩巨著。書中的時間跨度長達六十餘年。它以印度次大陸為背景，覆蓋地域包括剋什米爾、德裏、孟買、巴基斯坦和孟加拉國等地。涉及到殖民時期和後殖民時代印度的重大史實和曆史人物。從樸連瓦拉園大屠殺到印巴分治前後的政局動蕩，從中印邊界衝突到印巴戰爭，從剋什米爾戰亂到巴基斯坦內戰，從尼赫魯總理的第一個五年計劃到甘地夫人政府的緊急狀態法，從最後一任英國總督路易斯•門巴頓爵士的時鍾到阿尤布•汗將軍的軍事政變，不一而足。

　　《午夜之子》通過講述一個傢族和孤立的個人起起落落、麯麯摺摺的命運，展現瞭新生印度在後殖民時代經曆的種種嬗變和更迭，道明兩個主角之間不由自主的互為英雄的正題與反題。它是英語文學中的一道強光，一部瞭不起的佳作。閱讀過程中它總讓我想起同類小說《百年孤獨》和電影《魔戒》，它們的浩瀚之美讓我恐懼又心安。
