When Adela and her elderly companion Mrs Moore arrive in the Indian town of Chandrapore, they quickly feel trapped by its ins ular and prejudiced British community. Determined to explore the real India', they seek the guidance of the charming and mercurial Dr Aziz, a cultivated Indian Muslim. But a mysterious incident occurs while they are exploring the Marabar caves with Aziz, and the well-respected doctor soon finds himself at the centre of a scandal that rouses violent passions among both the British and their Indian subjects. A masterly portrait of a society in the grip of imperialism, A Passage to India compellingly depicts the fate of individuals caught between the great political and cultural conflicts of the modern world.

读后感

E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India explores the difficulty in the mutual understanding and cohabitation of the British and the Indian people in British India in the early twentieth century. The major events centers on an alleged attempted rape. Dr. Aziz, t...  

抄录书中极短的一章。其间的文字有大美。交错的人，事，和物，走笔一处，又荡开去，起伏开合，大波浪里亦有细碎的水花闪烁。 Chapter 10 THE heat had leapt forward in the last hour, the street was deserted as if a catastrophe had cleaned off humanity during the in...  

“超高级知识分子”说法是翻译作者在序言里提到的，一开始看到这个说法，内心有点不由自主的讪笑，看完全书后的几天内，自己都有一种浑身通透的感觉，简单的比喻是有一种游戏升级的幻觉，对“超高级知识分子”的说法，我也就不再持有怀疑，我想这就是所谓的圣贤书，或者文明的...  

I find this reading experience quite disturbing, for no one in this novel is adorable enough. Aziz is certainly the star of the book, his words, especially when he is disturbed, are quite sincere and sharp; however, most of the times he can make one so irri...  

用户评价

Forster的失望到底有多彻底？不止是两个截然不同的民族不能相互尊重和理解，而且地理迁移和文化错置甚至像《黑暗之心》一样让人的道德变质，英国绅士淑女的风度礼仪荡然无存，一个个丑陋到极点。人和人的交流也总是磕碰纠结，要么欲言又止，要么谎话连篇，或者经常干脆不知道是谁在说话。生活就像当地的气候燥热难忍毫无乐趣可言。读这种书真烦死人。摔。

不错

2010.8.5 ...They said in their hundred voices 'No, not yet,' and the sky said 'No, not there.' 生平看过写得最好的关于东西方文化差异的书。我挚爱的Forster啊，你笔下每一个字都细腻得让我不敢直视。我明明很不喜欢同性爱，可是为什么就是这么爱同性爱作家呢？！Forster shelters me from the rest of the world, offers me the ultimate tranquility, and helps me see beauty.
