Svetlana Alexievich was born in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, in 1948 and has spent most of her life in the Soviet Union and present-day Belarus, with prolonged periods of exile in Western Europe. Starting out as a journalist, she developed her own nonfiction genre, which gathers a chorus of voices to describe a specific historical moment. Her works include The Unwomanly Face of War (1985), Last Witnesses (1985), Zinky Boys (1990), Voices from Chernobyl (1997), and Secondhand Time (2013). She has won many international awards, including the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”

有一种刺痛叫做真实 ——《锌皮娃娃兵》,在战争里面没有幸存者 你还记得高中课本里面的那句藏在坦克图片下面简短的话么?“苏联入侵阿富汗”,历史书就这样草草带过,在20世纪,除了二战的盟军的胜利,似乎没有什么可以被记住的故事了。新闻越短,事件越大。在这句话的下...

From 1979 to 1989 a million Soviet troops engaged in a devastating war in Afghanistan that claimed 50,000 casualties―and the youth and humanity of many tens of thousands more. Creating controversy and outrage when it was first published in the USSR―it was called by reviewers there a “slanderous piece of fantasy” and part of a “hysterical chorus of malign attacks”―Zinky Boys presents the candid and affecting testimony of the officers and grunts, nurses and prostitutes, mothers, sons, and daughters who describe the war and its lasting effects. What emerges is a story that is shocking in its brutality and revelatory in its similarities to the American experience in Vietnam. The Soviet dead were shipped back in sealed zinc coffins (hence the term “Zinky Boys”), while the state denied the very existence of the conflict. Svetlana Alexievich brings us the truth of the Soviet-Afghan War: the beauty of the country and the savage Army bullying, the killing and the mutilation, the profusion of Western goods, the shame and shattered lives of returned veterans. Zinky Boys offers a unique, harrowing, and unforgettably powerful insight into the realities of war.

评分每一个字都是一滴血。
评分诺贝尔文学奖作家的代表作之一,以口述形式记录了各色各样亲历了苏联入侵阿富汗十年战争的人们:军人,护士,心碎的母亲。书名意指当时阵亡的苏联士兵装在封死的锌皮棺材中,而那些士兵大多只是十八九岁的孩子。战争的荒唐残酷,军队的腐败混乱,种种情境如同人间地狱,而这种人间地狱,二十多年来每天都在这个世界上演,如今更是愈演愈烈。我对国际政治所知有限,不敢妄言,也反感任何简单粗暴的断言。愿第三次世界战争永远不来,愿人间再无任何战争。
