具體描述

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.

布剋國際奬 [編輯]

評分

布剋奬注重權威性、導嚮性和公正性,評審由具有專業背景的人士擔當。一般評審有五人,由專門委員會指定,分彆為書評傢、學者、小說傢、文學編輯、文化名人等。每年5位評審必須閱讀被推薦的100多部作品,從中選齣20多本初入圍名單,再從這份名單中選齣6本進入決賽,最後從這6部作品中選齣一位獲勝者。

評分

1968年,英國的圖書界提議設立一項可以與法國龔古爾文學奬、美國普利策奬相媲美的文學奬,奬勵年度最佳英文小說,隻有英國、愛爾蘭以及英聯邦國傢的英文原創作傢有資格入圍參評,單一美國國籍的美國作傢一概無緣,以抵製新型的娛樂形式諸如電視對文學市場的蠶食。大奬以贊助商——食品供應公司布剋( Booker McConnell )名命。布剋奬從1969年開始頒發。

1956年09月28日,法瑞爾在玩橄欖球時,似乎受到傷害,但幾天後很明顯的齣現重病癥狀,被送往醫院,經過診斷之後發現他患小兒麻痹癥,當時因不確定是否能活下來的狀況下,他接受瞭物理治療,試圖減少損失。但一直無法恢復他體力或兵力,這疾病影響他一輩子。

評分

2014年起,全世界所有用英語寫作的作傢都可以參評布剋奬。布剋奬信托基金會決定擴大布剋奬的參選範圍,以此來強化布剋奬在英語文學中的標杆地位。此次規則改變,受益最大的就是美國作傢,作為英語寫作的最大一支,他們終於可以參與到布剋奬的遊戲之中。[1]
