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.

評分对于印度,我向来一无所知。 《白老虎》的叙事有点儿像小说版的A Slumdog Millionaire,一个没念过多少书,出身低级种姓的人如何成为了“企业家”。陆建德的后记里说,小说的内容不可全当做真,但是其中人性的真实与隐喻的力量又怎能让人视而不见呢?(顺说,我对小陆的印象真...
評分“印度不会发生革命,这个国家的人民仍然会在等待,等待别处过来的一场战争来解放他们。革命绝不会发生,每个人都必须创建自己的圣城” 我想这些话用来描述中国目前的现状也很准确。或许中国真的不需要改变什么,我们这些年轻人正在接受着目前的现实,试图适应这个社会。的确...
評分抱着好奇的心开始看这本书,起初对印度北部农村的一些陋习感到好笑,渐渐地,心情变得沉重,透过小说表面戏虐 的描述,我看到的是鸡笼般桎梏人性的压抑,穷苦大众也好,富商也罢,抑或高科技产业的从业人员,无不是生活在鸡笼中,耗费生命和智慧的挣扎。正如小说中提及的人们到...
