INDIAN SUMMER
Book ID/图书代码: 07468508B20862
English Summary/英文概要: Will Randall thought teaching in an inner-London comprehensive was a tough job. But that was nothing compared to the next assignment: saving a slum school in the Indian city of Poona. Learning as much as he is teaching, Will finds his life transformed by his remarkable class of orphans: Dulabesh, the head-standing joker who lost his parents on a crowded railway platform; Prakash, who learned self-sufficiency by scavenging in dumpsters; the charmingly madcap Tanushri, fan of the singer "Maradona." When the slumlords threaten to level the school, Will hits upon the idea of a fund-raiser to save it: a stage production of the 24,000-verse Indian epic, The Ramayana, ever so slightly condensed…By turns funny and poignant, this is a gloriously life-affirming account of the India tourists never see.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 作者以为在伦敦内区学校教书是一件很难的事,但是和救助印度贫民窟学校相比就算不得什么了。这段印度执教的生活让他对生活有了新的看法,而改变他的正是那个都是孤儿的班的学生们。所以当坏房东威胁要给学校设立等第的时候,作者有了这个募集资金拯救学校的想法。深刻而教人反思,这里描述的生活绝对是游客在指南上看不到的。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
