这是十二道真正的难题,
但他没有退缩的余地!
因为,一切的梦想与未来,
都可能随着错误的回答而瞬间消逝……
生命中永远充满了难题,
而一切关于勇气、智慧与真爱的解答,
就在这一连串的惊奇与冒险中……
全球最受欢迎的益智问答节目『W3B』在孟买正式开录!参赛者只要答对十二道问题,就能获得高达十亿卢比的巨额奖金!但这十二道从天文到历史的难题可不是凭运气就能答对的,按照制作单位的计划,赢家至少要八个月后才能产生。
不料,在这一晚的录像中,十八岁的罗摩‧穆罕默德‧汤玛士,一个没受过什么教育、居住在亚洲最大贫民窟里的无名小子,竟然正确无误地回答出所有的题目,成为电视益智节目史上最高奖金的得主!
就在众人惊愕之际,心有不甘的节目制作人一口咬定罗摩作弊,并串通警察将罗摩押走。在严刑逼供之下,眼看罗摩就要被迫签下认罪书放弃巨额奖金,所幸一位神秘女律师出面暂时解救了罗摩!但要帮助罗摩辩护,女律师要求罗摩必须老老实实的交代为何能答出十二道问题的原因。于是,罗摩开始娓娓道出自己不可思议的遭遇,而命运的谜题才正要登场……
内容简介
Vikas Swarup's spectacular debut novel opens in a jail cell in Mumbai, India, where Ram Mohammad Thomas is being held after correctly answering all twelve questions on India's biggest quiz show, Who Will Win a Billion? It is hard to believe that a poor orphan who has never read a newspaper or gone to school could win such a contest. But through a series of exhilarating tales Ram explains to his lawyer how episodes in his life gave him the answer to each question.
Ram takes us on an amazing review of his own history — from the day he was found as a baby in the clothes donation box of a Delhi church to his employment by a faded Bollywood star to his adventure with a security-crazed Australian army colonel to his career as an overly creative tour guide at the Taj Mahal.
Swarup's Q & A is a beguiling blend of high comedy, drama, and romance that reveals how we know what we know — not just about trivia, but about life itself. Cutting across humanity in all its squalor and glory, Vikas Swarup presents a kaleidoscopic vision of the struggle between good and evil — and what happens when one boy has no other choice in life but to survive.
