蘇珊·阿布哈瓦
1967年齣生於巴勒斯坦。自幼顛沛流離於過科威特、約旦和被占領的東耶路撒冷,最後到達美國,在南卡羅來納大學醫學院取得營養學碩士學位,目前定居於美國。阿布哈瓦對西方媒體看待以巴衝突的報導感到失望,她經常嚮各大報紙投稿,作品常見《紐約日報》、《芝加哥論壇報》、《基督教科學箴言報》。阿布哈瓦是非政府組織“巴勒斯坦遊樂場”(Playgrounds for Palestine, Inc. www.playgroundsforpalestine.org)的創辦者,在被占領的巴勒斯坦領土與各個難民營為兒童修建遊樂場,捍衛占領區內巴勒斯坦兒童的遊戲權。
A heart-wrenching, powerfully written novel that could do for Palestine what "The Kite Runner "did for Afghanistan. Forcibly removed from the ancient village of Ein Hod by the newly formed state of Israel in 1948, the Abulhejas are moved into the Jenin refugee camp. There, exiled from his beloved olive groves, the family patriarch languishes of a broken heart, his eldest son fathers a family and falls victim to an Israeli bullet, and his grandchildren struggle against tragedy toward freedom, peace, and home. This is the Palestinian story, told as never before, through four generations of a single family. The very precariousness of existence in the camps quickens life itself. Amal, the patriarch's bright granddaughter, feels this with certainty when she discovers the joys of young friendship and first love and especially when she loses her adored father, who read to her daily as a young girl in the quiet of the early dawn. Through Amal we get the stories of her twin brothers, one who is kidnapped by an Israeli soldier and raised Jewish; the other who sacrifices everything for the Palestinian cause. Amal's own dramatic story threads between the major Palestinian-Israeli clashes of three decades; it is one of love and loss, of childhood, marriage, and parenthood, and finally of the need to share her history with her daughter, to preserve the greatest love she has. Previously published in a hardcover edition with a limited run under the title "The Scar of David," this powerful novel is now available in a fully revised, newly titled paperback edition. The deep and moving humanity of "Mornings in Jenin "forces us to take a fresh look at one of the defining political conflicts of our lifetimes.

看完瞭,心裏難受瞭一陣。 每個峰迴路轉,每次他們的相聚都以為結局會是越來越好,故事卻在阿梅爾的傢人一個個離去中發展,最後是她的離去。 從來沒有太過關注中東,不太關注巴勒斯坦,以色列,黎巴嫩,阿拉伯。看完書,默默地想瞭很久,沒有經曆過戰爭年代的我們,常常以為隻...
評分用瞭三天時間拜讀瞭《大衛的傷疤》一書,夾雜著喜悅、崇拜、無奈、憤怒等多種感情色彩和矛盾心理看完瞭此書,以前在新聞裏播放的巴勒斯坦和以色列一直民族矛盾感到睏惑,一直認為這隻是兩國政治統治者決定的,人民隻是受害者,所以就沒有過多的感觸,但是看瞭此書過後,我在網...
評分把幾代人的一生,進行濃縮,是一件多麼可怖的事情,一個個鮮活靈魂在苦難中消失,生命最終歸於麻木的成熟,所有這些脫水的人生,在失去瞭占據生活絕大多數的平淡點綴後,顯得那麼赤裸,像一道不加遮擋的光,刺痛雙眼。 作者對戰爭和痛苦的描寫,人物內心的刻畫,一次次震撼著我...
評分 評分躺在床上,默默的也看完瞭《大衛的傷疤》 關於以色列,關於巴勒斯坦,關於黎巴嫩,還關於能接納一切名族的美國... 前不久看瞭十三釵,對戰爭中士兵與婦女的殘忍,一而再的怵目驚心,而在書中輕描淡寫的幾句,發覺,這樣的事情在巴勒斯坦怎麼可能會沒有呢,抑或是參雜這其他...
