In fact, he did both. Nowhere does he express his own ambivalence more strongly than in Kim , his rousing adventure novel of a young man of many allegiances. Kimball o’Hara grows up an orphan in the walled city of Lahore, India. Deeply devoted to an old Tibetan lama but involved in a secret mission for the British, Kim struggles to weave the strands of his life into a single pattern. Charged with action and suspense, yet profoundly spiritual, Kim vividly expresses the sounds and smells, colors and characters, opulence and squalor of complex, contradictory India under British rule. Jeffrey Meyers , a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, has published forty-three books, including biographies of Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, D. H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad, and George orwell. He also wrote the introduction and notes to the Barnes & Noble Classics edition of Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth .

个人感觉这本书一般。开始看时对于这种印度式的情节有点丈二和尚摸不着头脑,看了几章后慢慢适应。小说写一个小孩吉姆,一个英印混血儿,从小土生土长在印度。聪明,机灵,胆大,记得父亲曾跟他说过的天命,找一头红色的公牛。遇到一个找圣河的喇嘛,两人结伴,全印度寻找。过...
評分作者 | 肖毛 下午,天阴得厉害。放下手中的书,决定出去走走,因为我喜欢阴天。阴天没有烈日,行人也比往常稀少,我可以慢慢地在街上踟躇,静静地打量世界。 走着走着,遇到一阵旋风。第二阵旋风刮起时,许多塑料垃圾袋从草坪上随风起落。红的、绿的、白的、粉的、橙的……它们...
評分 評分作者 | yuntianlikk 拿到吉卜林的《吉姆》,于我就好像是一个极喜欢吃巧克力的人,拿到一块巧克力,要好好享用了。 七月和八月的一部分时间,我断续享用完了这本书,看看现在书上被清元涂鸦的痕迹,可见这本书和我在一起的时间是很动荡的。奇怪,也没有很心疼,反而顺便接受了...
