THE ROMANTICS

Book ID/图书代码: 00200020B00451

English Summary/英文概要: A first novel set in contemporary India, this book describes how Samar, a young Brahmin, escapes a future of small-town jobs to live in Benares, losing himself in books and solitude. Here, he meets Catherine, a French woman who stands at the centre of the events which destroy his equanimity.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: Pankaj Mishra這位前途無量的新一代作者,在這部備受讚譽有關自我發現的小說中,預示著他輝煌的職業前景。

故事中,年輕的Brahman Samar來到了聖城貝拿勒斯(印度東北部城市瓦臘納西Varanasi的舊稱)去完成他的學業,並想通過參加公務員考試來決定自己的未來。但在這座彌漫著陳腐味道的地方,朝聖者在神聖的恒河沐浴,人們呼吸著從沿著(印度的)河邊火葬場的岸散發的煙霧,作者從Samar完成不同的角度展現出的這個國家的面貌。威斯特小姐和她的社交圈,對她們周遭的一切毫無興趣,吸引她們來到印度遊玩的唯一原因是這裡能讓她們從物質世界中得以抽身喘息。而作者Rajesh,作為一位憤青的學生領袖,時而充滿著神秘主義,時而又具暴力,他提出了一種更為偏激的看法。小說不僅僅反映出東西方文化之間的衝突,Mishra還向讀者呈現出另一個我們所渴望的痛並快樂的普遍真理。(Sandy)
