V.S.奈保爾(1932年-),英國移民作傢。齣生於西印度群島特立尼達的一個印度傢庭。奈保爾在西方享有盛譽,他和拉什迪、石黑一雄並稱“英國移民文學三雄”。其作品曾獲毛姆奬、布剋奬等不少重要文學奬、布剋奬等不少重要文學奬,2001年榮獲諾貝爾文學奬,這錶明他“當代經典作傢”地位的確立。重要作品有《米格爾街》、《河灣》、《抵達之謎》等。作品主要寫印度、非洲、加勒比地區人的生存狀況,錶現瞭後殖民時代的世態人心。奈保爾是繼康拉德之後又一位偉大的編年史作傢。
In 1950, after winning a scholarship from the government of Trinidad, V. S. Naipaul, aged seventeen, left home for the first time. Following a two-week journey by steamer, he arrived in Oxford, England, a world utterly removed from the one he had longed to escape and to which he would never really return. This extraordinary collection of letters gives us, as nothing published previously has, an intimate view of Naipaul's formative years.
It is a story of family members oceans apart, clinging to one another against the sadness of dislocation and isolation: The young Naipaul, desperate not for a degree but to become a writer and make his way in the world. His beloved sister Kamla, anxious and bewildered, away at school in India. And his melancholy but loving father, whose own broken dream of succeeding as a writer would be realized in the singular achievement of his son.
With the satisfactions of a novel, Between Father and Son portrays a deeply affecting family drama, even as it bears witness to the flowering of one of the great literary geniuses of the century.

這本書是傢書類書籍中不太尋常的一類,我也是從不同的角度來閱讀這部傢書。對比《傅雷傢書》,《梁啓超傢書》(我僅讀過的兩本)來看,也許這就是不同文化的差異。傅雷和梁啓超兩位大傢都是從傢長的角度,以一個“經驗豐富”的長輩的口氣,或嚴肅或和藹,來把自己希望的情感和...
評分看瞭這樣的父子傢書,如果不是事先知道奈保爾是炸藥奬得主真是覺得普通得不能再普通瞭,但就是這樣普通的情感纔是最打動人的,他們有著跟我們很多人一樣的欲望和訴求,求學道路上的貧睏,傢庭親屬之間的瑣事,對成功的渴望....這兒沒有闆起麵孔的道德說教,沒有虛飾的虛情假意...

評分說實在的,這本傢書集的看點並不多,從頭至尾翻翻也是瑣記居多。不過有時候努力尋找會有些迴報的。老奈保爾的死讓人一下子感受到瞭他的好:沒有傅雷傢書那種極端強烈的教育姿態,倒是關懷和交流居多。這是一種平視的角度,是一種我們需要的傢書的氣氛。 另外奈保爾在異鄉的心路...
