评分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...
图书标签: 日本 non-fiction 社会学 英文原版 灾难 非虚构 311地震 日本社会
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.
最近从社交媒体到纪实文学看了好多有关灾难的内容,心情都不太好了,这种状态暂时告一段落吧。接下来找些不这么沉重的书来看。
评分4.5/5
评分是部窺一斑而見全豹的作品 文筆極佳 多元的視角 沒有非黑即白。最後落腳點在地理環境 制度 以及文化上 兼及日本當下的政治。求穩求全不求變 聲譽和秩序壓倒事實--中日在這點上也算共通。作者用domineering assertiveness形容中國 實在太恰當。都是面子大於裏子的文化。但求變與求穩這兩種 cultural ideology背後的動因如果是自然环境 那書中呈現的問題會有解嗎。
评分周末听完的灾难非虚构,也是试图更好地消化新冠百态的“自救”读物之一。熟悉的官方甩锅操作配方和难得“愤怒”和不再忍耐的日本家长,过于真实的海啸后续描写,令人潸然泪下的父母“寻找”孩子之路。自然也是频频想起08年的汶川大地震和无法问责的愤怒,想起09年去北川的时候被某幸存的老师带去北川老县城一遍遍讲述当时发生事情的强烈情绪。通过描写亡灵对话而实现的对生死的探讨以及对日本官僚主义的幽灵的描述很到位。最佩服的是作者能跟着受难者一起追踪这个事件那么久。
