India is poised to become one of the world's three largest economies in the next generation and to overtake China as the world's most populous country by 2032. Well before then India's incipient nuclear deterrent will have acquired intercontinental range and air, sea and land capabilities. India's volatile relationship with its nuclear-armed neighbour, Pakistan, may prove to be the source of the world's next major conflict. And if you call anyone -- from your bank to rail enquiries -- your query may well be dealt with by a graduate in Gujarat. Any way one looks at it, India's fate matters. In IN SPITE OF THE GODS, Edward Luce, one of the most incisive and talented journalists of his generation, will assess the forces that are forging the new nation. Cutting through the miasma that still clouds thinking about India, this extraordinarily accomplished book takes the measure of a society that is struggling to come to grips with modernity.Drawing on historical research, existing literature and his own unparalleled access as the New Delhi-based, South Asia correspondent of the FT, this is a book that will enthral as well as educate and will remain the definitive book on the country for many years.
这本书最大的特点,就是内容全面,权威,也许还要加上:很有时效——这是印度2006年的畅销书之一,延至一年后才出了中文版,出版操作算是快的吧。毕竟这不是《哈利波特》,出版商不可能追求如此的速度,而且中信出版社的翻译质量应该比较靠谱(新星出版社的新书翻译就差多了)...
评分记者写的书,一般都会有细节丰富但缺乏深度的特点,本书也是如此。诚如勒口上的介绍所言,卢斯向读者展示了今日印度的政治、宗教、社会、文化面貌,有他的观察,有访谈,有一些佐证材料,但没有“纲举目张”的感觉,读起来很累(跟字太小也有关系)。书里举的许多例子,稍微改...
评分(长文,慎入) (一) 最近忙里偷闲地又读了三本有关印度的著作。 导师赠阅的《陌生的近邻》似乎更适合对印度知之甚少的人士用来扫盲(可惜我已过了这个阶段);更早的两本,《印度慢吞吞》和《不顾诸神:现代印度的奇怪崛起》则是颇为深入、细致的社会观察。尽管两者都讨论了...
评分好几次想停下来不看了,后来纯粹是为了不想落一个半途而废的名堂驽着头皮看完了。 看这本书的动力是因为通过各种渠道,知道印度和中国一样,古老的国家在发生着急剧的变化,很想通过一本书籍窥探这个过程。可惜看完这本书,只记得满满的文字,没有特别印象深刻的章节和...
评分扉页导读:崛起的印度,仍然被种种深层矛盾现象所笼罩:一个雄心勃勃的核大国,同时全球营养不良的小孩四成都生活在这里;一个崛起的经济大国,但是反物质主义哲学根深蒂固;一个拥有不少世界最先进研究和发展的社会,然而也是一个极端宗教沙文主义运动活跃的国家。 ...
