This is how wars are fought now: by children, hopped-up on drugs and wielding AK-47s. Children have become soldiers of choice. In the more than fifty conflicts going on worldwide, it is estimated that there are some 300,000 child soldiers. Ishmael Beah used to be one of them.
What is war like through the eyes of a child soldier? How does one become a killer? How does one stop? Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives. But until now, there has not been a first-person account from someone who came through this hell and survived.
In A Long Way Gone , Beah, now twenty-five years old, tells a riveting story: how at the age of twelve, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. This is a rare and mesmerizing account, told with real literary force and heartbreaking honesty.
"My new friends have begun to suspect I haven't told them the full story of my life.
'Why did you leave Sierra Leone?'
'Because there is a war.'
'You mean, you saw people running around with guns and shooting each other?'
'Yes, all the time.'
'Cool.'
I smile a little.
'You should tell us about it sometime.'
'Yes, sometime.'"
第一次看到有人把战争的残酷描写得那样真实,仿佛我也跟着作者亲身经历了一番。这本书文笔朴实,情真意切,值得反复阅读。每读一段我都要合上书,怕自己无法承受这漫天而来的哀伤,沉重到无法呼吸。在那个原本朴实美好的村庄,正发生着多少血腥事件,还有多少孩子和老人挣扎在...
評分 評分一般抨击童兵问题都是在童兵摧残儿童身体,训练时采用毒品和洗脑来说的。。。。 但是其实仔细想想为什么在非洲普遍存在童兵问题,就不难回答,跟《童年的消逝》中所描写的那样,现代意义上的“童年”和“儿童”概念都是近代印刷术和医疗水平提高的前提上形成的,在此之前环境恶...
評分今天一整天,心情都很沉重。在一个陌生的城市出差,关注一个陌生国家的战争,感受一个陌生孩子的无助。这一切都让人有一点绝望。是,绝望。原来这个世界上有一个叫塞拉利昂的地方,1993年爆发了一次惨绝人寰的战争,而这场战争居然持续了11年! 而93年,我4岁,正...
評分很多年前看的,具体内容可能已记不清。但我知道这是一本值得一看的书,它让你了解到另一个世界。或许只是管中窥豹,但至少比闭着眼不看的好。长路漫漫,他们没有童年,在战争引发的灾难与兽性中寻找出路。主人公是幸运的,更多的永远化作了这条无尽之路上的一捧尘土。 希望钻石...
