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.

1968年，英國的圖書界提議設立一項可以與法國龔古爾文學奬、美國普利策奬相媲美的文學奬，奬勵年度最佳英文小說，隻有英國、愛爾蘭以及英聯邦國傢的英文原創作傢有資格入圍參評，單一美國國籍的美國作傢一概無緣，以抵製新型的娛樂形式諸如電視對文學市場的蠶食。大奬以贊助商——食品供應公司布剋( Booker McConnell )名命。布剋奬從1969年開始頒發。
