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.

从没有自我意识的小动物,我们慢慢长大,成长为懵懂少年,成为欲念、野心齐飞的青年,再成为有独立意志和情感的成年人。再翻一页,我们又要孕育一个个软弱无力的小动物、小天使了;他/她们将重新演绎人类的发展史。 我相信,人是有两次生命的,一次是为着自己,另一次是为着他...
評分看完《奈保尔家书》后真是既感动又羡慕。奈保尔一家不富有,但是幸运又团结。哈佛大学的塔尔博士在他的“幸福公开课”中说,幸福的人并不是不经历痛苦,而是能比较快速的从痛苦、挫折中恢复过来。看完这本书,我觉得幸福的家庭也是一样,他们也需要度过各种各样的难关,像财务...
評分看了这样的父子家书,如果不是事先知道奈保尔是炸药奖得主真是觉得普通得不能再普通了,但就是这样普通的情感才是最打动人的,他们有着跟我们很多人一样的欲望和诉求,求学道路上的贫困,家庭亲属之间的琐事,对成功的渴望....这儿没有板起面孔的道德说教,没有虚饰的虚情假意...
評分从家书中,我们得以一探消息:奈保尔家庭亲情之浓,可见一斑。另外,奈氏的文学之路,我们也略知一二。从牛津留学生到初试啼声的文坛新秀,令人更明了蜚声国际的大作家的早期成长岁月。虽依依稀稀,但已足矣!
