印度,当你读到绝望时你在读些什么
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

四五年前读的一本书,这几天有人聊起,来豆瓣上标注和评价一下。当时读完受到的震撼,和当年看完《可可西里》、《黑暗里的舞者》类似,令人绝望和窒息的苦难。

GR 4.31 (10,000+) 此书是印度主题小说中综合评价及阅读人数皆数一数二的畅销作品,写作背景为上世纪四十年代至八十年代的印度,涉及一系列重大社会政治事件及各种阶层背景的人物,算是一个了解当代印度社会的万花筒。不过,这是一部血淋淋的悲剧, Make sure you have the stomach for it ~~~

高中的时候语文课,老师问大家我们究竟是为什么而活着,当时我说的是为活着本身而活着。读完这本书之后我又想到了这个小片段。而那时候的我又懂什么?

Everything ended badly. 希望的假象后是无尽的灾祸与苦难。能感到作者对母国深沉的恨意。

处于进步和后退之中的平衡,站在历史的滚滚车轮之下,政府和民族阶级的压迫,只有适应改变,任凭那一鞭又一鞭向他们抽来,倔强又顽强的活着。

最佩服的还属作者对底层人民生活的了解。看着很难受,人物描写地太具体,太让人感同身受。“the secret of survival was to balance hope and despair, to embrace change” 印度跟中国一样,问题出在人口太多,人一多,就不被当人了。
