The first-person account of a 26-year-old who fought in the war in Sierra Leone as a 12-year-old boy. 'My new friends have begun to suspect that 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."' This is how wars are fought now: by children, hopped-up on drugs and wielding AK-47s. There are more than fifty conflicts going on worldwide and it is estimated there are some 300,000 child soldiers fighting. 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. Ishmael Beah, now twenty-five years old, tells a riveting story: how at the age of twelve in Sierra Leone, 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 he was capable of truly terrible acts. This is a rare and mesmerizing account, told with real literary force and heartbreaking honesty.
今天一整天,心情都很沉重。在一個陌生的城市齣差,關注一個陌生國傢的戰爭,感受一個陌生孩子的無助。這一切都讓人有一點絕望。是,絕望。原來這個世界上有一個叫塞拉利昂的地方,1993年爆發瞭一次慘絕人寰的戰爭,而這場戰爭居然持續瞭11年! 而93年,我4歲,正...
評分長路漫漫,是我給自己定下的100本書單的第三本。當然作為看瞭無數網絡小說,以及還是有那麼多的世界名著的我,可以體味到與正常小說架構不同的敘事方法。 而這種方法,讓我感覺到無比真實。我仿佛能看到一群小夥伴在逃難的路上,因為飢餓,因為失去親人的痛苦,也又能體味到美...
評分在那些捧著PSP,聽著ipod,喝著可樂長大的一代少年看來,“戰爭”似乎隻存在於好萊塢的電影裏。但對於另一群少年而言,“戰爭”就是意味著赤裸裸的血腥和屠戮。 他們手中不再是玩具槍,而是一把把貨真價實的AK-47。在槍林彈雨間,他們呼喊著殺人又或被殺,蹉跎於年輕人生的地平...
評分This book tells stories of a boy's memory in a civil war. In this war, either side desperately seeks every opportunity to kill the other side. The important message from this book is that even an innocent person as a school child cannot stay independent. ...
評分很多年前看的,具體內容可能已記不清。但我知道這是一本值得一看的書,它讓你瞭解到另一個世界。或許隻是管中窺豹,但至少比閉著眼不看的好。長路漫漫,他們沒有童年,在戰爭引發的災難與獸性中尋找齣路。主人公是幸運的,更多的永遠化作瞭這條無盡之路上的一捧塵土。 希望鑽石...
