Synopsis
Born in a village in heartland India, the son of a rickshaw puller, Balram is taken out of school by his family and put to work in a teashop. As he crushes coals and wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape - of breaking away from the banks of Mother Ganga, into whose depths have seeped the remains of a hundred generations.
The White Tiger is a tale of two Indias. Balram’s journey from darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.

从没想要在豆瓣上评点什么。看了白老虎,实在是忍不住了。随便写点。 标题其实已经把我的意思表达完毕了。这段直接就算是我给阿迪加的几句吧。阿迪加啊,你这家伙年纪不大,大概不介意我称呼一声老兄吧。那么老兄,我实在是很敬佩你啊,你这玩意,给中国的触动应该不下于印度...
评分吃人么? 就是这样的现实。 能让人忍俊不禁看完的现实。 作者笔下形容的黑色的蛋,包不住所有人,总会有只金黄的鸟,冲破蛋壳,用碎片,释放自己。 印度有牛,有人,有牛人,有神。 只是,想到咱中国, 中国的老虎已经绝种了吧,笼子外面的,只有跳跳虎在卖萌
评分《白老虎》是一本非常特别的小说,曾一度让我误以为是政治性的书信体作品,因为它的封面语为:一位印度企业家写给中国总理的信。结果读过之后,发现真乃大错特错,事实上这是一本诙谐幽默风趣的虚构小说,当然虚中也有实,而它的独到之处,恰恰就在于书信体的设定上。 ...
评分i have been to india many times and stayed there for quite some time. i think i may have a fair view of what india may be like since in china or rest of the world, people may have two sharply contrasting points of view towards india: a giant moving fast wit...
评分在豆瓣开了一个专栏,主要写投资与自我管理方面,欢迎关注:http://read.douban.com/column/93927/ 靖昀兄推荐,阅读体验很奇妙。感谢。 我估记此篇在未来会被拍成电影。 一方面里面的故事内容是虚构的;另一方面作者文笔相当生动,而本人又对印度了解得不多,看过《贫民窟...
Native Son, Jungle, Invisible Man 的结合体。No small feat for a first-time writer.
评分想去印度但是又十分害怕。看完这本书的感觉就和贫民窟的百万富翁的感觉一样,觉得印度虽然黑暗但处处有机会,但其实这是一本反乌托邦、完全暴露印度社会黑亮两极分化的现实小说。语言十分诙谐幽默。
评分Another "hero" from the Indian slum.
评分老师借我的,了解印度蛮好的。
