简介: 《甘加丁之路》这部小说的古怪标题取自英国作家吉卜林(rudyard kipling,1865—1936)的一首名诗《甘加丁》,这首诗后来被改编为一部著名的好莱坞电影,它描写一个为侵略印度的英国殖民主义军队效劳的印度水伕。在赵健秀的眼里,甘加丁是一个民族叛徒,因此甘加丁之路是通向地狱之路。接受白人主流文化,把美国华人看成是低贱的外国人,是对美国华人传统和属性的背叛。小说的第一部分“创世”主要讲述演员关龙曼一生的最大愿望是饰演陈查理这个角色。陈查理是一个虚构的美国华人侦探,在1925至1949年间的五十部电影里出现,闻名遐迩。常常由白人演员扮演的陈查理特别聪明,总是能侦破案件。他代表了被白人主流社会接受的东方人的刻板印象:肥胖,缺乏性感,在白人面前总是唯唯诺诺,讲不标准的英语,为了取得滑稽效果而捏造孔子的话。关龙曼一心一意想扮演陈查理而不可得,揭示了这样一个事实:美国华人休想在好莱坞像白人演员那样地扮演真正的英雄人物。关龙曼只能无休无止地给上等的白人主角当低贱的配角。对赵健秀而言,这代表了关于美国华人的错误神话,必须揭露和摧毁。

简介: Publisher Comments: Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles. Synopsis: This novel tells the story of Kimball O'Hara (Kim), who is the orphaned son of a soldier in the Irish regiment stationed in India during the British Raj. It describes Kim's life and adventures from street vagabond, to his adoption by his father's regiment and recruitment into espionage. Kim is a spy and picaresque novel, written by Rudyard Kipling. It was first published serially in McClures's Magazine from December 1900 to October 1901 as well as in Cassell's Magazine from January to November 1901, and first published in book form by MacMillan & Co. Ltd in October 1901. The story is set against the backdrop of The Great Game, the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. Amazon.com One of the particular pleasures of reading Kim is the full range of emotion, knowledge, and experience that Rudyard Kipling gives his complex hero. Kim O'Hara, the orphaned son of an Irish soldier stationed in India, is neither innocent nor victimized. Raised by an opium-addicted half-caste woman since his equally dissolute father's death, the boy has grown up in the streets of Lahore: Though he was burned black as any native; though he spoke the vernacular by preference, and his mother-tongue in a clipped uncertain sing-song; though he consorted on terms of perfect equality with the small boys of the bazar; Kim was white--a poor white of the very poorest. From his father and the woman who raised him, Kim has come to believe that a great destiny awaits him. The details, however, are a bit fuzzy, consisting as they do of the woman's addled prophecies of "'a great Red Bull on a green field, and the Colonel riding on his tall horse, yes, and'--dropping into English--'nine hundred devils.'" In the meantime, Kim amuses himself with intrigues, executing "commissions by night on the crowded housetops for sleek and shiny young men of fashion." His peculiar heritage as a white child gone native, combined with his "love of the game for its own sake," makes him uniquely suited for a bigger game. And when, at last, the long-awaited colonel comes along, Kim is recruited as a spy in Britain's struggle to maintain its colonial grip on India. Kipling was, first and foremost, a man of his time; born and raised in India in the 19th century, he was a fervid supporter of the Raj. Nevertheless, his portrait of India and its people is remarkably sympathetic. Yes, there is the stereotypical Westernized Indian Babu Huree Chander with his atrocious English, but there is also Kim's friend and mentor, the Afghani horse trader Mahub Ali, and the gentle Tibetan lama with whom Kim travels along the Grand Trunk Road. The humanity of his characters consistently belies Kipling's private prejudices, and raises Kim above the mere ripping good yarn to the level of a timeless classic. --Alix Wilber From AudioFile You know a novel is succeeding when you begin to hear and think in the voices of the characters--and that's doubly true of a good audiobook. Kipling's masterpiece about an orphaned British beggar boy who knows the streets and marketplaces of India better than any native would be a pleasure read plainly. But Dastor's masterful performance, which individualizes dozens of Indian and British voices, is unparalleled in artistry, wit and precision. Despite his reputation as a trumpeter of imperialism, Kipling is himself full of wit, irony and rich imagination in this tale of Kim and the Tibetan holy man, who journey "the broad, smiling river of life" that is India's great highway. Together they encounter a series of adventures as colorful and memorable as those of Huck Finn traveling down the Mississippi. But more than an action story, here is a story told in dialogue, one whose key events are exchanges of wit, whose rendering of the vernacular of British India is the thread and essence of its tale. Clearly, this is a novel that, better than almost any, lends itself to audio performance. This Cover to Cover Classic is a standout, and one of this reviewer's all-time favorite audio experiences.

简介:"All of London exploded on the night of 18 May 1900, in the biggest West End party ever seen. The mix of media manipulation, patriotism, and class, race, and gender politics that produced the "spontaneous" festivities of Mafeking Night begins this analysis of the cultural politics of late-Victorian imperialism. Paula M. Krebs examines "the last of the gentleman's wars" - the Boer War of 1899-1902 - and the struggles to maintain an imperialist hegemony in a twentieth-century world, through the war writings of Arthur Conan Doyle, Olive Schreiner, H. Rider Haggard, and Rudyard Kipling, as well as contemporary journalism, propaganda, and other forms of public discourse. Her feminist analysis of such matters as the sexual honor of the British soldier at war, the deaths of thousands of women and children in "concentration camps," and new concepts of race in South Africa marks this book as a significant contribution to British imperial studies."--BOOK JACKET.
简介:Through lucid explanations, telling anecdotes, and incisive analyuses, the eminent scientists Paul Ehrlich and Anane Ehrlich here spotlight the three elephants in our global living room - rising consumption, increasing world population, and unchecked political and economic inequity - that together arre icreasingly shaping today's politics, undermining the planet's ability to sustain us, and determining humankindd's futuree. The result is a book that brilliantly puts today's policy debates in a larger context and makes a compelling case for the critical discussions that we should be having. One with Nineveh takes it title from Rudyard Kipling's "Recessional" ("Lo, all our pomp of yesterday / Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!"), his famous 1897 poem alluding to the pride and arrogance that went before the fall of ancient Mesopotamian civilizations. Their undoing, in addition to warfare, was deforestation and unsustainable irrigation, practices whose destructive effects were ignored by the elites at the time. In One with Nineveh, the Ehrlichs suggest that the hubris of our own civilization could be leading us to an end similar to Nineveh's - whose ruins lie near the Iraqi city of Mosul - if environmental trends such as loss of biodiversity and acceleration of climate change are not halted. Unlike the regional ecological collapse of Mesopotamia, this time the collapse could be global." Both a cautionary tale and a call to action, One with Nineveh is remarkable in its sweep and in the range of solutions it proposes, from local actions to reform of national government to international initiatives. Grounded in science, economics, and history, the Ehrlichs' forthright discussion of the underlying issues of our time gives cause for considerable concern yet reason to hope. - Dust jacket.

简介:The Gond tribal peoples of central India first came to broad international notice as inhabitants of the remote wilderness described in Rudyard Kipling's famous 19* century Jungle Book novels. Yet, in India, the tribe's Pardhan Gond clan was already known for its great storytellers with their own tales to tell who served their people for centurie... more 籹 as itinerant professional bards, priests, genealogists, and oral historians. In recent years, numerous Pardhan Gonds have moved to the city of Bhopal, where they have developed a hybrid art style combining traditional subject matter with modern media ranging from ink and acrylics on paper or canvas to silk screen prints and animated films. This catalogue of the first American exhibition of these arts traces their evolution from the 1981 chance discovery of a single artistic genius the twenty-one-year-old Pardhan Gond villager named Jangarh Singh Shyam into an internationally recognized contemporary tribal art movement that continues to flourish under his successors. How this movement developed reveals both the prejudices and challenges of modernity faced by contemporary tribals, and their resilience and capacity for masterful innovation adapting themselves and their traditional culture to new circumstances and livelihoods within a globalizing India and the postmodern international art world. ?less

简介:Being Kipling exposes Rudyard Kipling's identity as he himself perceived it through the lens of a collection of works composed over a period of years and brought together in the volume Land and Sea Tales for Scouts and Guides. Dillingham uses this extraordinary collection, ostensibly put together for the inspiration of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides and frequently ignored by critics and biographers, to offer rare insight into formative events from Kipling's youth that shaped his personality and made him the man and writer that he became. The eight stories, eight poems, and three essays of Land and Sea Tales for Scouts and Guides are all examined closely both for what they reveal about Kipling's life and worldview and for their rarely perceived, but considerable literary merit. - Back cover.
简介: Book Description The highest standards in editing and production have been applied to the Wordsworth Children's Classics, while the low price makes them affordable for everyone. Wordsworth's list covers a range of the best-loved stories for children, from nursery tales, classic fables, and fairy tales to stories that will appeal to older children and adults alike. Many of these volumes have contemporary illustrations, and while they are ideal for shared family reading, their attractive format will also encourage children to read for themselves. Like all Wordsworth Editions, these children's books represent unbeatable value. Through the agency of Puck, Dan and Una, meet an array of historical characters from flint and iron ages to "Good Queen Bess" and Sir Francis Drake. Other tales include stories of England following the Norman Conquest, and the Europe of Napolean and Talleyrand. Synopsis: Rewards and Fairies is a delightful selection of stories and poems from the creator of The Jungle Book. Tales of witches, looking-glasses and square toes come together with all the old favourites including 'The Way Through the Woods' to make a thoroughly enchanting book. And perhaps most famous of all, included in this collection is Kipling's well-loved poem, 'If' - words that have spoken to the hearts of many a generation. AUTHBIO: Born in Bombay in 1865, Rudyard Kipling retained a deep love for the colour and exotic richness of India throughout his life and this passion affected much of his writing. Best known for his masterpieces The Jungle Books, Kim, and Captains Courageous, Kipling also penned an extraordinary number of powerful and evocative poems and short stories including the remarkable Just So Stories. The first Englishman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, Kipling commands a place amongst the finest of English writers. Book Dimension : length: (cm)19.8 width:(cm)12.6
简介:Writers whose work reflects the experience of empire betray the anxieties and contradictions at the heart of the imperial enterprise. Zohreh T. Sullivan's new reading of Rudyard Kipling's writings about India expands our sense of colonial discourse and recovers the cultural context and recurring tropes in his early journalism and fiction, in Kim, and in his late autobiography. She chartsthe fragmentation of Kipling's position as child, as colonizer and as "poet of empire," finding in his representation of childhood's loss the site of repressed and disavowed desires and fears that resurface in later work. In using Kipling's troubled intimacy with empire as the link between history and narrative, Sullivan sees in Kipling's ambivalence his negotiation between the desire for union with his golden "best-beloved" India and the historic imperatives of separation from it.
简介:Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Masochism, here interpreted in a broader cultural sense to mean the desire for and glorification of suffering (in this case, for the imperial cause), is revealed to be a predominant theme in the works of many major Victorian writers, including Robert Louis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, and Joseph Conrad. By tracing the common thread of masochistic and sadomasochistic fantasy occurring in works on colonial themes by these and other writers, Kucich (English, Rutgers U.) offers a vision of the cultural and social mores behind celebrated actions and stories that elevate suffering as the necessary process by which a hero creates a new, better world. Kucich supplements his psychoanalytic analysis throughout by providing details of the historical events and figures behind the stories, as well as noting other examples of such stories, often in the popular media. Annotation 漏2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Publisher Summary 2 British imperialism's favorite literary narrative might seem to be conquest. But real British conquests also generated a surprising cultural obsession with suffering, sacrifice, defeat, and melancholia. "There was," writes John Kucich, "seemingly a different crucifixion scene marking the historical gateway to each colonial theater." In Imperial Masochism, Kucich reveals the central role masochistic forms of voluntary suffering played in late-nineteenth-century British thinking about imperial politics and class identity. Placing the colonial writers Robert Louis Stevenson, Olive Schreiner, Rudyard Kipling, and Joseph Conrad in their cultural context, Kucich shows how the ideological and psychological dynamics of empire, particularly its reorganization of class identities at the colonial periphery, depended on figurations of masochism.Drawing on recent psychoanalytic theory to define masochism in terms of narcissistic fantasies of omnipotence rather than sexual perversion, the book illuminates how masochism mediates political thought of many different kinds, not simply those that represent the social order as an opposition of mastery and submission, or an eroticized drama of power differentials. Masochism was a powerful psychosocial language that enabled colonial writers to articulate judgments about imperialism and class.The first full-length study of masochism in British colonial fiction, Imperial Masochismputs forth new readings of this literature and shows the continued relevance of psychoanalysis to historicist studies of literature and culture.
简介:Unseasonable Youth examines a range of modernist-era fictions that cast doubt on the ideology of progress through the figure of stunted or endless adolescence. Novels of youth by Oscar Wilde, Olive Schreiner, Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, H.G. Wells, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys, and Elizabeth Bowen disrupt the inherited conventions of the bildungsroman in order to criticize bourgeois values and to reinvent the biographical plot, but also to explore the contradictions inherent in mainstream developmental discourses of self, nation, and empire. The intertwined tropes of frozen youth and uneven development, as motifs of failed progress, play a crucial role in the emergence of dilatory modernist style and in the reimagination of colonial space at the fin-de-siecle. The genre-bending logic of uneven development - never wholly absent from the coming-of-age novel -- takes on a new and more intense form in modernism as it fixes its broken allegory to the problem of colonial development. In novels of unseasonable youth, the nineteenth-century idea of world progress comes up against stubborn signs of underdevelopment and uneven development, just at the same moment that post-Darwinian racial sciences and quasi-Freudian sexological discourses lend greater influence to the idea that certain forms of human difference cannot be mitigated by civilizing or developmental forces. In this historical context, the temporal meaning and social vocation of the bildungsroman undergo a comprehensive shift, as the history of the novel indexes the gradual displacement of historical-progressive thinking by anthropological-structural thinking in the Age of Empire.
