Без съмнение "Последното изкушение" е една от най-философските, но и противоречиви творби на писателя, в основата на която стои върховният дълг на борещия се човек - безспирната, безмилостната борба между духа и плътта. В тази книга критиците съзират Новото евангелие, апокрифната човешка изповед на Божия син. Джанет Маслин от в. "Ню Йорк Таймс" пише: "Радикален и напълно революционен, "Последното изкушение" преосмисля божественото през човешкия избор." Според Казандзакис загадката на Христос не е загадка само на една определена религия, а е общочовешка, защото "всеки човек е ... |

„Разливът, който разделя родителите бенгалци от техните отгледани в Америка деца – и който разделя децата от Индия, – си остава основната тема на Лахири в това своеобразно продължение на Преводачът на болести и Името. В осемте разказа от този сборник резултатите отново са смайващи. В историите на Лахири – истории за изгнание, идентичност, разочарование и съзряване – се проявява нейното пестеливо и изкусно майсторство, с което малцина съвременници могат да се похвалят.“ Publishers Weekly „Чеховско чувство за загуба пронизва тези нови разкази: то ни припомня колко дълбоко г-жа Лахири умее да вниква в белезите, нанесени ни ... |
