具体描述

內容簡介

Inspired by the Indian Mutiny of 1857, The Siege of Krishnapur is set in the fictional town of that name where a British garrison withstands a four-month siege by mutineers. Eventually rescued after undergoing terrible privations, the leading characters all find their ideals tested and their smug assumptions of military and moral superiority severely shaken. In Troubles Major Brendan Archer travels to Ireland in the aftermath of World War I in order to meet his fiancée Angela in a remote seaside hotel owned by her father. Angela dies unexpectedly, but Archer remains in Kilnalough, captivated by the Majestic and its inhabitants, and seemingly unaware of the approaching political storm as Ireland dissolves into revolt and civil war. Both novels combine high comedy with vivid realism and reveal Farrell as 'one of the finest post-colonial novelists' - John Sutherland.

榮獲布剋奬幾乎已經成為"最好看的英文小說"代名詞,是廣受世界矚目和討論的小說奬。布剋奬背後有管理委員會運作,負責選齣每一年的評審及主席,其評選過程嚴謹,又保持高度的獨立性,也是使布剋奬不同於其它奬項之處。每位評審幾乎隻有一次參與布剋奬評選的機會,評審團的組成兼顧其專業和社會背景,降低瞭派彆潮流與個人好惡左右的機會。每年布剋奬頒發後,不僅是得奬者的榮譽,對銷售激勵和作品討論幫助也很大。
