The Seven Moons of Maali Almeidaepub,mobi,azw3格式电子书下载，作者：Shehan Karunatilaka-读书派

A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war

Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest.

But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.

Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths.

Shehan Karunatilaka is the multi-award winning author of Chinaman: The Legend of Pradeep Mathew. The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is his second novel. Born in Colombo, he studied in New Zealand and has lived and worked in London, Amsterdam and Singapore.

这本书继承了他上一部作品《与亡灵交谈》（Chats with the Dead）的创作风格，通过讽刺、黑色幽默等方式来引发思考，也许痛苦用幽默的形式表现会显得更为讽刺吧。有趣的是，他将成王败寇之理展开，却使得现实显得更为无力： “历史就是那些永远船只和武器的人消灭那些忘记发明它们的人。每一种文明都是从种族灭绝开始的，这是宇宙的法则，是永恒的丛林法则，即使它是由混凝土制成。即使在每一颗星星的运动和每一粒原子的舞蹈中也能看到。在这里，富人将奴役身无分文的人，强者将压垮弱者。”

She passes you an ola leaf. A dried palm leaf, said to have been used by seven rishis three thousand years ago to write the fortunes of everyone who would ever live. Angular incisions would rip the grainy texture, so South Asian scribes developed sensuous curves on lettering to stop the leaf from tearing.
