永恒美丽的背后 英文原版 Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Slum

本书作者凯瑟琳·布是普利策奖获奖记者，花费三年时间追踪访查孟买最底层的人群，通过录音、录像、访谈记录了2007年至2011年间这些居民的生活状况。布女士用精巧的文笔向读者展示了豪华酒店附近一个被忽略的世界，这里饱受贫穷和腐败困扰，希望与绝望交替浮现。本书直指传统纪实文学不愿碰触的领域，勾勒出弱势群体扣人心弦的奋斗历程，具有独特的深度。本书曾获得2012年美国国家图书奖非虚构类奖项，并入选亚马逊网站、《华盛顿邮报》（The Washington Post）以及《噢，奥普拉杂志》（O, The Oprah Magazine）的2012年十大好书榜单。 In this brilliant, breathtaking book by Pulitzer Prize winner Katherine Boo, a bewildering age of global change and inequality is made human through the dramatic story of families striving toward a better life in Annawadi, a makeshift settlement in the shadow of luxury hotels near the Mumbai airport. As India starts to prosper, the residents of Annawadi are electric with hope. Abdul, an enterprising teenager, sees “a fortune beyond counting” in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Meanwhile Asha, a woman of formidable ambition, has identified a shadier route to the middle class. With a little luck, her beautiful daughter, Annawadi’s “most-everything girl,” might become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest children, like the young thief Kalu, feel themselves inching closer to their dreams. But then Abdul is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion, caste, sex, power, and economic envy turn brutal. With intelligence, humor, and deep insight into what connects people to one another in an era of tumultuous change, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, based on years of uncompromising reporting, carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century’s hidden worlds—and into the hearts of families impossible to forget.
