"Oh my human brothers, let me tell you how it happened." So begins the chilling fictional memoir of Dr. Maximilien Aue, a former Nazi officer who has reinvented himself, many years after the war, as a middle-class family man and factory owner in France.
Max is an intellectual steeped in philosophy, literature, and classical music. He is also a cold-blooded assassin and the consummate bureaucrat. Through the eyes of this cultivated yet monstrous man, we experience in disturbingly precise detail the horrors of the Second World War and the Nazi genocide of the Jews. During the period from June 1941 through April 1945, Max is posted to Poland, the Ukraine, and the Caucasus; he is present at the Battle of Stalingrad and at Auschwitz; and he lives through the chaos of the final days of the Nazi regime in Berlin. Although Max is a totally imagined character, his world is peopled by real historical figures, such as Eichmann, Himmler, Göring, Speer, Heyrich, Höss, and Hitler himself.
A supreme historical epic and a haunting work of fiction, Jonathan Littell's masterpiece is intense, hallucinatory, and utterly original. Published to impressive critical acclaim in France in 2006, it went on to win the Prix Goncourt, that country's most prestigious literary award, and sparked a broad range of responses and questions from readers: How does fiction deal with the nature of human evil? How should a novel encompass the Holocaust? At what point do history and fiction come together and where do they separate?
A provocative and controversial work of literature, The Kindly Ones is a morally challenging read; it holds up a mirror to humanity—and the reader cannot look away.

評分入瞭昏暗的地獄 《復仇女神》 獨眼 從沒有一本書像《復仇女神》這樣讓我畏懼,它的目的不是給人一次愉快的閱讀體驗,我每次翻開它,就被它邊白極少的文字緊緊夾著裹著拉進一個噩夢般的泥濘地獄,無數屍體、血塊就猝不及防地撲麵而來。全文以古典音樂的麯名分瞭七章,分段很少...
評分怎麼讀《復仇女神》 入口:公務員 二戰納粹屠殺的小說裏,這本的角度是個特例。處處有著公務員公事公辦的痕跡,這與屠殺與否無關,而是一個公務機關在維持著正常的運行。由這本書仿佛突然領悟瞭公務機關有著它自己的生命,它纔不管其他,而且這個生命是不容冒犯與改變的。如...
