书籍简介

如果说老年是傍晚，终在午夜的遗忘中结束，那么他们已经进入了人生的最后关头。

萨尔曼·拉什迪是一位天才作家，《A.M. Homes》

在印度金奈，两位爱吵架的老人在国家灾难中经历了个人悲剧。重访孟买的《午夜之子》街区，一位神奇的音乐家与一位亿万富翁的婚姻并不幸福。

在一所英国大学里，一位不死的学者请求一位孤独的学生为曾经折磨他的敌人复仇。

这五部令人眼花缭乱的小说穿梭于萨尔曼·拉什迪的故乡——印度、英国和美国，探索了接近人生最后关头的意义。

我们是适应死亡，还是抗拒死亡？我们该如何告别我们曾经的家园？ 《第十一个小时》以敏锐的洞察力和无限的想象力，对生与死、遗产与身份进行了深刻的思考，萨尔曼·拉什迪正是凭借这些洞察力和无限的想象力，成为我们这个时代受赞誉的作家之一。

《午夜的孩子》问世40多年后，至今仍无人能出其右。《旁观者》

拉什迪不仅拓展了文学的容量，更拓展了世界的想象力。《泰晤士报》

If old age was thought of as an evening, ending in midnight oblivion, they were well into the eleventh hour.

Salman Rushdie is a genius A.M. Homes

Two quarrelsome old men in Chennai, India, experience private tragedy during national calamity. Revisiting the Bombay neighbourhood of Midnight's Children, a magical musician is unhappily married to a multibillionaire.

In an English university college, an undead academic asks a lonely student to avenge his former tormentor.

These five dazzling works of fiction move between the three countries that Salman Rushdie has called home India, England and America and explore what it means to approach the eleventh hour of life.

Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? How can we bid farewell to the places that we have made home? The Eleventh Hour ponders life and death, legacy and identity with the penetrating insight and boundless imagination that have made Salman Rushdie one of the most celebrated writers of our time.

More than 40 years after Midnight's Children, there is still nobody who spins a yarn quite like Salman Rushdie Spectator

Rushdie has not just enlarged literature s capacities, he has expanded the world s imaginative possibilities The Times
