具体描述

Hiroshima is the story of six human beings who lived through the greatest single manmade disaster in history. With what Bruce Bliven called "the simplicity of genius," John Hersey tells what these six -- a clerk, a widowed seamstress, a physician, a Methodist minister, a young surgeon, and a German Catholic priest -- were doing at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city. Then he follows the course of their lives hour by hour, day by day. The New Yorker of August 31, 1946, devoted all its space to this story. The immediate repercussions were vast: newspapers here and abroad reprinted it; during evening half-hours it was read over the network of the American Broadcasting Company; leading editorials were devoted to it in uncounted newspapers. Almost four decades after the original publication of this celebrated book John Hersey went back to Hiroshima in search of the people whose stories he had told. His account of what he discovered about them -- the variety of ways in which they responded to the past and went on with their lives -- is now the eloquent and moving final chapter of Hiroshima. "At exactly fifteen minutes past eight in the morning, on August 6, 1945, Japanese time, at the moment when the atomic bomb flashed above Hiroshima, Miss Toshiko Sasaki, a clerk in the personnel department of the East Asia Tin Works, had just sat down at her place in the plant office and was turning her head to speak to the girl at the next desk. At that same moment, Dr. Masakazu Fujii was settling down crosslegged to read the Osaka Asahi on the porch of his private hospital, overhanging one of the seven deltaic rivers which divide Hiroshima; Mrs. Hatsuyo Nakamura, a tailor's widow, stood by the window of her kitchen, watching a neighbor tearing down his house because it lay in the path of an air-raid-defense fire lane; Father Wilhelm Kleinsorge, a German priest of the Society of Jesus, reclined in his underwear on a cot on the top floor of his order's three-story mission house, reading a Jesuit magazine, Stimmen der Zeit; Dr. Terufumi Sasaki, a young member of the surgical staff of the city's large, modern Red Cross Hospital, walked along one of the hospital corridors with a blood specimen for a Wassermann test in his hand; and the Reverend Mr. Kiyoshi Tanimoto, pastor of the Hiroshima Methodist Church, paused at the door of a rich man's house in Koi, the city's western suburb, and prepared to unload a handcart full of things he had evacuated from town..."

读后感

行文的思路很简单也很集中 第一部分好像复现式蒙太奇，历史的那一个时刻的前一秒，每个人依然只一边漫不经心地担心着遥远的“B君”，一边忧愁着自己的事情。 “人类原子时代开始的那一刻，在这个罐头厂，一个人被一堆书撞到在地。” 紧接着第二部分，那种交错的混乱，接力的生...  

《广岛》是约翰·赫西在1945年获得普利策奖后，受邀前往广岛采访幸存者，以还原核弹爆炸前后广岛人民的状态。作为日本的敌对方以及原子弹的投掷方，美国人会去怎样复现这段历史呢？ 约翰·赫西没有幸灾乐祸，也没有作为胜利者的优越感，而是以六个“被爆者”为切入点，冷静客观...

读过《切尔诺贝利的回忆》再来读《广岛》，一部是动容到疼痛，一部是冷静到惊悚。 城市变为废墟，等死的被爆者不呼痛，甚至听不到被灼伤到血肉模糊的孩子的哭声。劫后余生的夫妇随意地重逢又分别，大爆炸后万幸存活下来的人们，却被走近河流的人群挤下去淹死，女孩发着抖喊冷突...
