'Brilliant and terrifying' Observer Set in an unnamed African country, the book is narrated by Salim, a young man from an Indian family of traders long resident on the coast. He believes The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it. So he has taken the initiative; left the coast; acquired his own shop in a small, growing city in the continent's remote interior and is selling sundries little more than this and that, really to the natives. This spot, this 'bend in the river', is a microcosm of post-colonial Africa at the time of Independence: a scene of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation and poverty. And from this rich landscape emerges one of the author's most potent works a truly moving story of historical upheaval and social breakdown. 'Naipaul has fashioned a work of intense imaginative force. It is a haunting creation, rich with incident and human bafflement, played out in an immense detail of landscape rendered with a poignant brilliance.' Elizabeth Hardwick 'Always a master of fictional landscape, Naipaul here shows, in his variety of human examples and in his search for underlying social causes, a Tolstoyan spirit' John Updike

繼《米格爾街》之後,奈保爾在《畢司沃斯先生的房子》、《守夜人記事簿》、《模仿者》、《遊擊隊員》等一係列小說中進一步深切地展示瞭宗主國傢下移民者的生存睏惑與文化掙紮,從普通民眾到智識分子,再到政權人物,所有人最終都無法於流放者的桎梏裏突圍,無處安放的精神直指...
評分《大河灣》是諾貝爾文學奬得主奈保爾的代錶作之一,可以說該書還原瞭一個多重話語下“真實的非洲”。但是對於非洲,對於曆史不感興趣的人來說,《大河灣》仍舊是傑作,它的主題不僅是非洲,而是與每個人都相關的,更為宏大的東西,那就是變化,以及麵對變化時的身份焦慮與角色...
評分摘自《中華讀書網》 作者:博覽群書 奈保爾不懈追求觀察和敘述的新方式,在他為小說作齣的墓誌銘體現瞭他一貫的逆嚮思維。在推齣一係列也許用“文學性自傳”這樣的術語更為貼切的虛構作品(《到達者之謎》,《世道人心》)後,他說,小說作為一種文學樣式已經死亡,當代...
評分幸運能讀到奈保爾這本重要的書,何況是個好譯本。讀後你似乎不會懷疑,作者就是一個貨真價實的新非洲人,新非洲城鎮居民生活的窗戶縫兒裏,就那麼透齣光來。畢竟,隻有奈保爾什麼都能、願、敢寫。不過坦率地說,後半部裏浮現齣的不安和焦躁有點不匹配大師的穩穩手筆。即便隻是...
評分發音就像臉一樣,是一種個性化、身份化的標誌。當換一種方言或語言說話的時候,其實也換瞭一幅麵孔、一種身份。伊頓公學畢業的喬治.奧威爾有句話,“英國人的[階級]烙印是打在舌頭上的。”,他的那種上等階級的口音令這位一心要與窮人打成一片的作傢無比睏擾。就像他侄女對他...
