海嘯親曆者們的迴憶讓我潸然淚下
評分一本好書。不僅從遇難者傢屬,幸存者,政府官員,牧師多個角度記錄瞭2011年這場海嘯災難,也深刻反思瞭日本社會的矛盾,以及災難對政治和文化帶來的衝擊和改變。在社會問題麵前,日本人真的夠能「忍」,或者說,「懶」。可以和中國對比著看更加有趣。
評分Every disaster deserves such an account.
評分4.5/5
評分“Japan had enough serenity and self-restraint. What it needed now was people like the Shitos and the Tadanos and the Suzukis: angry, scathing, determined people, unafraid to step out of the ranks and fight, even if all that the contest amounted to was the losing struggle with death.”
Richard Lloyd Parry was born in north-west England, and has lived since 1995 in Tokyo, where he is the Asia Editor of The Times newspaper of London. He has reported from twenty-eight countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq and North Korea. In 2005, he was named the UK's foreign correspondent of the year. He has also written for Granta, the New York Times and the London Review of Books.
On 11 March 2011, a massive earthquake sent a 120-foot-high tsunami smashing into the coast of north-east Japan. By the time the sea retreated, more than 18,500 people had been crushed, burned to death, or drowned.
It was Japan’s greatest single loss of life since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. It set off a national crisis, and the meltdown of a nuclear power plant. And even after the immediate emergency had abated, the trauma of the disaster continued to express itself in bizarre and mysterious ways.
Richard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, lived through the earthquake in Tokyo, and spent six years reporting from the disaster zone. There he encountered stories of ghosts and hauntings. He met a priest who performed exorcisms on people possessed by the spirits of the dead. And he found himself drawn back again and again to a village which had suffered the greatest loss of all, a community tormented by unbearable mysteries of its own.
What really happened to the local children as they waited in the school playground in the moments before the tsunami? Why did their teachers not evacuate them to safety? And why was the unbearable truth being so stubbornly covered up?
Ghosts of the Tsunami is a classic of literary non-fiction, a heart-breaking and intimate account of an epic tragedy, told through the personal accounts of those who lived through it. It tells the story of how a nation faced a catastrophe, and the bleak struggle to find consolation in the ruins.
看这本书的过程其实很艰难,首先是感情上的冲击,一些学生家长说的话,就是那种让人心里非常难受的真实。其次是阅读顺序从时间线上来讲有些过于跳跃,作者是优秀的记者,观察者视角非常容易让人进入到他所见的情景中去,但是从一整本书的个人观感出发,对一个事件的还原,采用...

評分文|理查德·劳埃德·帕里 (此文为日译本作者序) 日常英语中经常用到的日语词汇并不多,其中给人印象最深且最富有寓意的,非“tsunami”(海啸)莫属。绝大部分的外来语都仍在外来语的范畴内使用,例如,从日本特有的事物或意味而来的外来语(kimono[和服]、samurai[武士]、ma...
評分“有时候,即使我们在现场挖掘寻找尸体,也会聊天,也会为了什么事情大笑。但紧接着,我们又会因为有人看见我们的笑容而感到不自在。”———这是整本书让我觉得最触动的文字。 欧美文化宣扬个性情绪的表达,亚洲更多的是克制与隐忍。作者也在书中表达“我受够了日本人接受现实...
