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."

英国作家拉什迪最有名的著作之一,当然,还有一本更著名的,但估计我们买不到。此书入选读者评选的100本英国人最爱读的书之一。因看到人人文库有此书,立马下单。呜呜,没赶上大活动。但估计碰到活动,咱就买不到了。感谢京东的努力。现在可能还是京东上人人文库的书最多,价格也最厚道。
