NOON: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 00200011B45603
English Summary/英文概要： Rehan Tabassum has grown up in a world of privilege in Delhi. His mother is a successful lawyer and her new husband is a wealthy industrialist whose way of doing business is at the heart of the New India everyone is talking about. But there is a marked absence in Rehan’s life: his real father, a Pakistani Muslim who owns a telecommunications empire in Pakistan. Noon follows Rehan’s attempts to negotiate this loss as he journeys, both physically and emotionally, toward the heart of his father’s world. From the atavistic scenes of a childhood in Delhi to the city’s boom and bust; from an earthquake in Pakistan to threats of violence in the sinister city of Port Bin Qasim; from the lives of servants at home in Delhi to blackmail and menace within Rehan’s father’s company– this extraordinary family saga interrogates the nature of power in two changing countries. Aatish Taseer tells the story of a man who comes of age as his country does, in an atmosphere of political quicksand and moral danger.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 里恩在德里一个充满特权的家庭中长大。他的母亲是一位成功的律师，他母亲的新丈夫是一位富裕的实业家，他的商业头脑和经营方式是每个新印度人津津乐道的话题。然而即便是如此，在里恩的生活中，还是有着一个莫大的遗憾，那就是他的亲生父亲。他的父亲是一位地道的巴基斯坦穆斯林，并在巴基斯坦拥有一家垄断的电信企业。小说以里恩在伊斯兰世界的旅行为主线，从生理和心灵上对伊斯兰文化、宗教、历史和政治展开深刻的认识，并由此慢慢走入父亲的内心世界。里恩的故乡德里，在他童年时代，经历了从繁荣到走向衰败和萧条的过程，而他父亲所在的城市巴基斯坦，则在地震和灾难城市卡西姆港的暴力威胁中，显得风雨萧条、摇摇欲坠。里恩的人生旅程从幼年在德里奴隶般的生活转变为在巴基斯坦，他父亲的垄断企业里无休止的勒索与威胁恐吓。这是一个在不平凡的家庭中经历的传奇故事，它讲述了变革中的国家所呈现的自然力量。阿迪斯•塔西尔通过主人公的生命历程和成长轨迹，为我们再现了在道德败坏和政治危机的氛围下，国家的兴衰和发展之路。(兼职翻译-YZH)
