苏珊·阿布哈瓦
1967年出生于巴勒斯坦。自幼颠沛流离于过科威特、约旦和被占领的东耶路撒冷,最后到达美国,在南卡罗来纳大学医学院取得营养学硕士学位,目前定居于美国。阿布哈瓦对西方媒体看待以巴冲突的报导感到失望,她经常向各大报纸投稿,作品常见《纽约日报》、《芝加哥论坛报》、《基督教科学箴言报》。阿布哈瓦是非政府组织“巴勒斯坦游乐场”(Playgrounds for Palestine, Inc. www.playgroundsforpalestine.org)的创办者,在被占领的巴勒斯坦领土与各个难民营为儿童修建游乐场,捍卫占领区内巴勒斯坦儿童的游戏权。
A heart-wrenching, powerfully written novel that could do for Palestine what "The Kite Runner "did for Afghanistan. Forcibly removed from the ancient village of Ein Hod by the newly formed state of Israel in 1948, the Abulhejas are moved into the Jenin refugee camp. There, exiled from his beloved olive groves, the family patriarch languishes of a broken heart, his eldest son fathers a family and falls victim to an Israeli bullet, and his grandchildren struggle against tragedy toward freedom, peace, and home. This is the Palestinian story, told as never before, through four generations of a single family. The very precariousness of existence in the camps quickens life itself. Amal, the patriarch's bright granddaughter, feels this with certainty when she discovers the joys of young friendship and first love and especially when she loses her adored father, who read to her daily as a young girl in the quiet of the early dawn. Through Amal we get the stories of her twin brothers, one who is kidnapped by an Israeli soldier and raised Jewish; the other who sacrifices everything for the Palestinian cause. Amal's own dramatic story threads between the major Palestinian-Israeli clashes of three decades; it is one of love and loss, of childhood, marriage, and parenthood, and finally of the need to share her history with her daughter, to preserve the greatest love she has. Previously published in a hardcover edition with a limited run under the title "The Scar of David," this powerful novel is now available in a fully revised, newly titled paperback edition. The deep and moving humanity of "Mornings in Jenin "forces us to take a fresh look at one of the defining political conflicts of our lifetimes.
把几代人的一生,进行浓缩,是一件多么可怖的事情,一个个鲜活灵魂在苦难中消失,生命最终归于麻木的成熟,所有这些脱水的人生,在失去了占据生活绝大多数的平淡点缀后,显得那么赤裸,像一道不加遮挡的光,刺痛双眼。 作者对战争和痛苦的描写,人物内心的刻画,一次次震撼着我...
评分书写的很好,翻译也很流畅,无论是一开始温馨的家园生活,还是后来的家国破灭,小说的描述非常具有画面感,很能引人入胜。 但是整部书看得异常缓慢,主要是作者用相当纪实性的手法去描述情节的发展,因为情节的日趋沉重,整部书的气氛格外压抑。 如果你想看一本轻松愉快的书,...
评分首先要说明:巴勒斯坦民族的流亡史是一则沉痛的历史,并且这段历史远未看到终点的可能性。但若要以对待这段史实的沉重眼光来看待这部描述巴人遭遇的虚构小说,就会显得可笑了。 这本出自巴裔美籍的职业医师所著的小说,情节与人物设置狗血得可以。它是一部典型的家...
评分一个家族的分散聚合,巴勒斯坦半个多世纪的历史。这个世界的人民要承受多少的苦难,才能够有一丝安宁的生活,简单的幸福。生活的那些残酷,直接得不管你接不接受。只是,我依然相信,相信,存于人心的是:真善美,以及那跨越一切国籍,政治,宗教的,只是对人,人本身的爱!--...
评分读完这本书的时候,正值巴以冲突又一次爆发,就像书中写到: “3月20日,一个袭击者在加利利炸死了七名以色列人,这是对于以色列人在3月12日杀死三十一名巴勒斯坦人的报复,而以色列人3月12日的行动是对3月11日杀死十一名以色列人的报复,3月11日的行动是对以色列人3月8日杀死...
