1705AS小说 送礼的和摸脚的都让人受不鸟
★★★
“小说一般分三幕,电影场景读故事。”
第一幕:远途拜访,询问到家;
第二幕:送礼摸脚,客套礼仪;
印度人触摸父亲、母亲、老师和长者脚的传统由来已久。具体动作是行礼者屈身用右手摸长者的脚尖,然后再用同一只手摸一下自己的头,以表示自己的头同长者的脚相接触。对方用手摸一下行礼者的头顶,以示还礼。有事相求者甚至跪在地上,用双手摸对方的脚,用头的前额去触对方的脚尖。
第三幕:大人疯了,这里真穷。。。

A strange and sublime address

A Strange and Sublime Address, Amit Chaudhuri’s first book, features a Bengali boy who spends his school holidays at his uncle's home in Calcutta. Heatwaves, thunderstorms, mealtimes, prayer-sessions, shopping expeditions and family visits create a shifting background to the shaping of people's lives. Delicate, nuanced, full of exquisite detail, A Strange and Sublime Address is a small masterpiece. The book also includes nine short stories about the city.
