In a heartrending and astonishing novel, Eggers illuminates the history of the civil war in Sudan through the eyes of Valentino Achak Deng, a refugee now living in the United States. We follow his life as he's driven from his home as a boy and walks, with thousands of orphans, to Ethiopia, where he finds safety — for a time. Valentino's travels, truly Biblical in scope, bring him in contact with government soldiers, janjaweed-like militias, liberation rebels, hyenas and lions, disease and starvation — and a string of unexpected romances. Ultimately, Valentino finds safety in Kenya and, just after the millennium, is finally resettled in the United States, from where this novel is narrated. In this book, written with expansive humanity and surprising humor, we come to understand the nature of the conflicts in Sudan, the refugee experience in America, the dreams of the Dinka people, and the challenge one indomitable man faces in a world collapsing around him.
一觉醒来,摆脱了恶梦的困扰,远方的黎明似乎展示着一个新的开始。人们大多已经习惯了这样的场景。 而对瓦伦蒂诺——一个七岁的南苏丹少年——来说,新的一天却迥然不同:那意味着彻底的饥饿感、躲避一次次狮子的捕杀、经过一具具认识或者不认识的尸体,然后穿越数千英里的沙漠...
評分作为生在和平环境中的读者,每当读到鲜血淋漓的战争亲历者的叙述,感觉总有些复杂。一方面,我相信文字能传达出部分的真相;同时连孩子都知道,写下来的只可能是局部,甚至碎屑。 继描述卢旺达屠杀幸存者的《羚羊战略》之后,又读到关于非洲大地的死亡伤痛的书,这一次的现...
評分在写评论之前纠结了好久,因为不想在就书中的故事而再分解重组,对它经行概述,变成一篇没有自己营养的东西,只是单纯的为了让别人了解这本书而写而已。很长时间之后我觉得更应该加入自己的想法和对内容的简介,这样可能过于个人化,但是在我看来却不让其显得过于空洞。大家想...

讀瞭一遍。。然後又讀瞭一遍。。I started to doubt if I can really change anything even if I go to Africa...
评分Sb. bought me a Kindle, and you have no sense of how long books are I realized it's a very long book, but it's just remarkable. It's the first Dave Eggers book I've read,I've read other stuff he's written. I think he's the best. The proceeds from the book all go to the ool that the characters created. He's such a unique writer and a wonderful guy
