Asian literature offers some of the most beautiful prose ever written. We pick the classics all books fans should read.
亚洲文学中涌现出了许多动人篇章,英国《电讯报》特挑选书迷应当阅读的史上十佳亚洲小说:
1、The Dream of the Red Chamber
《红楼梦》
Cao Xueqin (printed 1791)
作者:曹雪芹(1791年出版)
With a cast of more than 400 characters, this episodic novel written in the vernacular rather than classical Chinese tells of two branches of an aristocratic family with a tragic love story at its humane heart.
史诗般的《红楼梦》并非用文言文写的,而是采用通俗的白话文。全书中有400多个人物,以一个权贵家族的两个分支为主线,描述了一个凄美的爱情故事,人文气息浓厚。
2、A Fine Balance
《微妙的平衡》
Rohinton Mistry (1995)
作者:罗欣顿·米斯特里(1995年出版)
Set during the Emergency of 1970 (a period marked by political unrest, torture and detentions), Mistry is critical of then-prime minister Indira Gandhi. Four characters from very different backgrounds are brought together by rapid social changes.
故事发生在20世纪70年代,当时的社会背景政局动荡、酷刑监禁滥用。米斯特里对时任印度总理英迪拉·甘地持批判态度。书中四个人物虽背景迥异,但他们却因为剧烈的社会变革而走到了一起。
