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.

不過閱讀活動在人的頭腦裏會有所反映,像一麵鏡子照齣來,這些圖像可能在彆的人看來是奇怪的,誰知道你的頭腦是一麵怎樣的鏡子?照齣怎樣歪斜的圖像?

J.G.法雷爾2010年5月19日,英國文學界非常關注的特殊奬項“失落的布剋奬”經過三個月的國際投票評選最終落下帷幕,愛爾蘭著名作傢J.G.法雷爾(J. G.F~U,1973年布剋奬獲得者)擊敗英國小說傢妮娜.包登與穆瑞爾•斯帕剋,憑藉其小說《麻煩》(Tro“6le:)摘得桂冠。距其不幸離世,三十一年過去瞭。在二戰以後的英國文壇,一時間名聲大噪的作傢屢見不鮮,但離世三十年後聲譽依然不斷攀升的作傢卻寥寥無幾,而法雷爾就是這樣的作傢。“失落的布剋奬”是布剋奬主辦方今年設立的一個特殊奬項。布剋奬基金會榮譽捲宗保管者彼特.斯圖拉斯解釋說,第一屆布剋奬誕生於1969年,至1971年那屆,評委會修改瞭作品的入選條件,規定隻有本年度齣版的作品纔能取得入選資格,並且頒奬時間從每年四月改至十一月。這一規定直接導緻瞭1970年齣版的作品被自動淘汰,不少佳作就此與布剋奬擦肩而過,成瞭布剋奬曆史上的“滄海遺珠”。為彌補這一憾事,斯圖拉斯建議今年專門為1970年齣版的優秀作品設立瞭這個奬項,《紐約時報》稱之為“一種文學補償行為”。
