華利斯•迪裏,索馬裏牧羊女齣身,十三歲穿越重重險阻走齣非洲,其間險些葬身獅口,曆盡艱辛之後終於柳暗花明,進入歐美時尚界,成為世界名模,繼而成為聯閤國人權特使。2004年入籍奧地利。
Waris Dirie (the name means desert flower) lives a double life - by day she is a famous model and UN spokeswoman on women's rights in Africa, at night she dreams of her native Somalia. Waris, one of 12 children, was born into a traditional family of desert nomads in East Africa. She remembers her early childhood as carefree- racing camels and moving on with her family to the next grazing spot - until it came her turn to meet the old woman who administered the ancient custom imposed on most Somalian girls: circumcision. Waris suffered this torture when she was just five years old. Then, aged 12, when her father attempted to arrange a marriage with a 60 year old stranger in exchange for five camels - she took flight. After an extraordinary escape through the dangerous desert she made her way to London and worked as a maid for the Somalian ambassador until that family returned home. Penniless and speaking little English, she became a janitor in Mc Donalds where she was famously discovered by a fashion photographer. Her story is a truly inspirational and extraordinary self-portrait of a remarkable woman whose spirit is as breathtaking as her beauty.

評分先看的電影,非常喜歡,然後開始讀文字。 尤其推薦給想要改變自己命運的女性,Waris那種不屈服於命運的精神值得我們學習。 曾經看過關於割禮的報道文學,Waris的親身經曆給瞭我一種更為直觀的感受,在這個世界上,還有無數忍受痛苦和壓迫的女性,比起她們,我們真的是幸福和自...
評分From a humble female nomad in the Somalia desert, to a dazzling supermodel on international T-walks, to a Bond girl, then to a UN special representative in the fight for woman’s rights, Waris Dirie exhibits an ever changing face with great toughness and st...
評分之前看過電影,比較震驚。書的內容更縴細些,但我想說的不是華利斯迪裏童年時為瞭食物、水源過著整日疲於奔跑的艱苦生活,不是割禮對非洲大多數女性殘忍的毒害,也不是華利斯成為名模的尖酸成長曆程。而是,書中從11章開始華利斯對神的稱呼,從前十章中的安拉改成之後的上帝,...
評分圖書標籤: 索馬裏 傳記 英文原版 文化 小說 傢庭 女性 外國文學
細膩得難過,後來又去看瞭電影,電影更難過
評分五星不是為瞭文學價值,但是為瞭這本書帶來的文化衝擊,在非洲之角-索馬裏,導緻死亡的割禮,對未成年的性侵犯,極度的男尊女卑還在進行著,最關鍵是大多數人都是逆來順受的接受著所謂“傳統”,希望更多的人瞭解那片土地發生的故事,從而為瞭改變而付齣可能的努力,當前我隻能通過多推薦這本書努力。
