Shortly after completing THE DROWNED AND THE SAVED, Primo Levi committed suicide. The matter of his death was sudden, violent and unpremiditated, and there were some who argue that he killed himself because he was tormented by guilt - guilt that he had survived the horrors of Auschwitz while others, better than he, had gone to the wall. THE DROWNED AND THE SAVED is Levi's impassioned attempt to understand the 'rationale' behind the concentration camps, was completed shortly before his tragic death in 1987. THE DROWNED AND THE SAVED dispels the myth that Primo Levi forgave the Germans for what they did to his people. He didn't and couldn't forgive. He refused, however, to indulge in what he called 'the bestial vice of hatred' which is an entirely different matter. The voice that sounds in his writing is that of a reasonable man...it warns and reminds us that the unimaginable can happen again. A would-be tyrant is waiting in the wings, with 'beautiful words' on his lips. The book is constantly impressing on us the need to learn from the past, to make sense of the senseless' PAUL BAILEY
普里莫·莱维 (Primo Levi,1919—1987) 意大利最重要的作家、化学家以及奥斯维辛174517号囚犯,这两种身份与经历建立了他写作的基础。 莱维1919年出生于意大利都灵,1944年因参与反法西斯运动被捕,后被遣送至奥斯维辛集中营。战争结束后,他回到故 乡都灵生活。1987年自杀身亡。他的作品曾被选入意大利语文教材,涉及诗歌、小说、回忆录等各个领域。著有《活在奥斯维辛》(Survival in Auschwitz)、《再度觉醒》(The Reawakening)、《缓刑时刻》(Moments of Reprieve)、《元素周期表》(The Periodic Table)、《如果不是现在,那么何时?》(If Not Now, When?)、《猴子的忧伤》(The Monkey’s Wrench)等。《被淹没和被拯救的》(The Drowned and the Saved)是他生前完成的最后一部著作。
这本书大概是汗牛充栋的关于大屠杀的文学作品,甚至哲学作品里面,最经典的一本书。有意思的是,这本书的作者,普里莫·莱维他其实原来是一个化学家,但是他一辈子同时投入写作。他为什么身为一个化学家要那么热爱写作呢?当然他喜欢文学、喜欢创作,但更重要的是,其实他是为...
评分黑暗时代的一个共有特征是:它们常常既激起争论,又难以言说。不同的人往往对此持有难以妥协的不同观点,而那种极端年代下人们的极端处境又是如此远离日常生活,以至于它不但常常令缺乏切身体验的后人难以置信,甚至即便是亲身经历的人,都无法找到合适的语言来描述那种炼狱般...
评分在奥斯维辛集中营幸存下来的人写作的时候,不得不面对和中国一样的题材——回应诘难。年轻人都喜欢问“(被纳粹统治,你这么痛苦或愤恨)你为什么不(滚)出国?”这是火上浇油的冷漠逻辑,而且建立在无知的荣耀上,这些人因为自己没体验过没有自由的时代而幻想自己扮演党的好...
评分 评分第三章倒数第二段,中文译版: 人们经常问我们,奥斯维辛会不会再次出现,仿佛我们的经历能够赋予我们预测未来的能力?也就是说,会不会发生另一场大屠杀,单方面,系统化,体械化,有意为之,通过政府层面,针对手无寸铁的无辜民众,并借助蔑视他人的教条给予合法化的大屠杀。...
