精彩書評
"Allegorical novel by Salman Rushdie, published in 1981. It is a historical chronicle of modern India centering on the inextricably linked fates of two children born within the first hour of independence from Great Britain. Exactly at midnight on Aug. 15, 1947, two boys are born in a Bombay hospital, where they are switched by a nurse. Saleem Sinai, who will be raised by a well-to-do Muslim couple, is actually the illegitimate son of a low-caste Hindu woman and a departing British colonist. Shiva, the son of the Muslim couple, is given to a poor Hindu street performer whose unfaithful wife has died. Saleem represents modern India. When he is 30, he writes his memoir, Midnight's Children. Shiva is destined to be Saleem's enemy as well as India's most honored war hero. This multilayered novel places Saleem in every significant event that occurred on the Indian subcontinent in the 30 years after independence. Midnight's Children was awarded the Booker Prize for fiction in 1981."

英國作傢拉什迪最有名的著作之一,當然,還有一本更著名的,但估計我們買不到。此書入選讀者評選的100本英國人最愛讀的書之一。因看到人人文庫有此書,立馬下單。嗚嗚,沒趕上大活動。但估計碰到活動,咱就買不到瞭。感謝京東的努力。現在可能還是京東上人人文庫的書最多,價格也最厚道。
