V.S.奈保爾(V.S.Naipaul):
英國著名作傢。1932年生於特立尼達島上一個印度移民傢庭,50年代進入牛津大學攻讀英國文學,畢業後開始寫作。著有《米格爾街》、《畢司沃斯先生的房子》、《自由國度》、《遊擊隊員》、《大河灣》、“印度三部麯”、《非洲的假麵劇》等。2001年,獲諾貝爾文學奬。
V.S. Naipaul undertook this Caribbean journey at the invitation, in 1960, of Dr Eric Williams, the first Prime Minister of independent Trinidad, the author's birthplace. At that time, the plantation colonies of the region were formed, culturally, in the image of the metropolis. Racial and political assertion had yet to catch up with them in varying ways. In Trinidad, African racialism found itself at odds with old colonial mimicry; forty years on, the racial issue will not be between black and white, but between black and Asian. Guyana was Marxist, but with the same racial divisions: forty years on, the country will be so ruined that a newspaper will be regarded almost as a luxury item. In Surinam, a movement was afoot to replace the Dutch language with a pidgin English called talkie-talkie: forty years on, that racial sentiment will have led to military dictatorship and an exodus of the locals to Holland. Whereas Martinique, defying geography, saw itself as France. And, in Jamaica, such rejectionism took the form of Rastafarianism which, absurdly, turns out to have been the invention of Italian black propaganda during the Abyssinian War of the 1930s. The Middle Passage catches this poor topsy-turvy world at a critical moment: a world by turns sad, earnest and hilarious indeed, a perfect subject for the understanding and comedy of this great writer.

1960-61年,28歲的奈保爾遊曆獨立前夕的加勒比海五國:他的故鄉英屬特立尼達、英屬圭亞那、荷屬蘇裏南、法屬馬提尼剋、英屬牙買加,撰寫他第一本遊記。和常人對加勒比海的印象不同,奈保爾將觀察重點放在殖民曆史遺留和種族問題上,類似民族誌寫作。他的第一次嘗試有些粗疏,一...
評分讀的第一本奈保爾是《我們的普世文明》,當時還不知道奈保爾有諾貝爾奬,這本書是一本雜文集,當時讀的時候就覺得作者有些洞見很不錯,自己深有同感又寫不齣的樣子。當然,書太厚,一直也沒讀完。 《重訪加勒比》這本書是加勒比這個字眼吸引瞭我,我總是對離自己...

評分文/俞耕耘 如果您慣於認為旅行是怡情快悅的,以為記二三小景,訴一段閑情,攜三五好友,伴一位佳人就是遊記的典型情懷,那麼看完《重訪加勒比》或許會改變認識。因為,奈保爾的這部遊記凝重深沉、孤峭冷峻,他的旅行帶著文化與曆史的負重,文明與罪惡的交鋒,傳統與現代的掙紮...
評分鄉愁,對於你我而言,始終是一個深埋在心靈深處的美麗童話,在迷茫、殘酷世界裏一觸即碎,虛幻、飄渺,如斷瞭綫的風箏,越飛越遠,雖窮盡你我餘生,卻再也無法抓攥… 也許,你我早已“不知不覺把他鄉,當作瞭故鄉,隻是偶爾難過時,不經意遙望遠方…” 也許,你我早已迷失瞭自...
