精彩书评

"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."

拉什迪的作品，人人文库。《匹克威克外传》是十九世纪英国最重要的作家狄更斯的成名作，1836年出版。是一部流浪汉小说体裁的作品，全书通过匹克威克及其三位朋友外出旅行途中的一系列遭遇，描写了当时英国城乡的社会生活和风土人情。该书是狄更斯最为重要、最具代表性的作品之一，自出版以来，一直受到各国读者的欢迎，无可争辩地成为世界文学的经典名作。《匹克威克外传》是狄更斯的第一部长篇小说，写老绅士匹克威克一行五人到英国各地漫游的故事。小说情节以匹克威克等人在旅途的见闻和遭遇展开，一些故事虽然有相对的独立性，但是故事的进展又能自然地衔接起来，散而不乱，线索明了。

　　 作者毫不介意在主线的故事中不断介入期间，磊落大方地为读者指明他那些既可以被视为字面意义也可当作隐喻或寓言的情节大体上应该如何进行阐释，甚至就连这一双关手法本身，作者都毫不介意将隐喻直截了当地比作天鹅，不停地提醒自己和读者它何时以及为何需要起飞或降落在现实的大地上。如此，读者既可以享受小说魔术师眼花缭乱的技巧，又不必担心会陷入技巧的迷宫而失去“意义”——对今天的人类来说尤其害怕失去的东西——的宝藏，因为迷宫的建造者慷慨地赐予了指南针。
