精彩书评

"Allegorical novel by Salman Rushdie, published in 1981. It is a historical chronicle of modern India centering on the inextricably linked fates of two children born within the first hour of independence from Great Britain. Exactly at midnight on Aug. 15, 1947, two boys are born in a Bombay hospital, where they are switched by a nurse. Saleem Sinai, who will be raised by a well-to-do Muslim couple, is actually the illegitimate son of a low-caste Hindu woman and a departing British colonist. Shiva, the son of the Muslim couple, is given to a poor Hindu street performer whose unfaithful wife has died. Saleem represents modern India. When he is 30, he writes his memoir, Midnight's Children. Shiva is destined to be Saleem's enemy as well as India's most honored war hero. This multilayered novel places Saleem in every significant event that occurred on the Indian subcontinent in the 30 years after independence. Midnight's Children was awarded the Booker Prize for fiction in 1981."

《匹克威克外传》在英国文学史上最主要的贡献是最早以当代现实生活为创作素材，并把平民当做小说的主人公。小说描写当时社会生活的各种场景，几乎描绘到当时社会上所有阶层的人物。本书语言幽默风趣，情节生动曲折，其中既有正义与邪恶的斗争，又有辛辣的政治讽刺；既有妙趣横生的民间故事，又有对社会阴暗面的无情揭露；作家既对上层社会的虚伪庸俗进行了猛烈的抨击，又对下层的穷苦百姓表现出深切的同情
