华利斯•迪里,索马里牧羊女出身,十三岁穿越重重险阻走出非洲,其间险些葬身狮口,历尽艰辛之后终于柳暗花明,进入欧美时尚界,成为世界名模,继而成为联合国人权特使。2004年入籍奥地利。
Waris Dirie leads a double life -- by day, she is an international supermodel and human rights ambassador for the United Nations; by night, she dreams of the simplicity of life in her native Somalia and the family she was forced to leave behind. Desert Flower, her intimate and inspiring memoir, is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered about the beauty of African life, the chaotic existence of a supermodel, or the joys of new motherhood. Waris was born into a traditional Somali family, desert nomads who engaged in such ancient and antiquated customs as genital mutilation and arranged marriage. At twelve, she fled an arranged marriage to an old man and traveled alone across the dangerous Somali desert to Mogadishu -- the first leg of an emotional journey that would take her to London as a house servant, around the world as a fashion model, and eventually to America, where she would find peace in motherhood and humanitarian work for the U.N. Today, as Special Ambassador for the U.N., she travels the world speaking out against the barbaric practice of female genital mutilation, promoting women's reproductive rights, and educating people about the Africa she fled -- but still deeply loves. Desert Flower will be published simultaneously in eleven languages throughout the world and is currently being produced as a feature film by Rocket Pictures UK.
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...
评分因为喜欢《沙漠之花》这部电影,便找了同名书来看,没想到书比电影更好看。 电影着重于“割礼”,书的内容比较具体,详细的述说了华莉丝.迪里在不同时期的生活状态。因看过电影的缘故,我的注意力没有集中在“割礼”上。 读完,如鲠在喉。好些片段让人揪心。比如:华莉丝通过拍...
评分世界名模华莉丝.迪里,是出生于非洲索马里的牧游人,天生叛逆,不甘心父亲的安排,嫁给一个老人换取5头骆驼的命运,勇于逃婚,独自一人,穿越沙漠来到首都,为了生存,她辗转于姐姐,姨妈,舅妈家中,做保姆,做仆人,甚至在工地里做过建筑工,在麦当劳后场擦地板,她善于抓住...
评分《沙漠之花》书评&影评:不得不说电影用了夸张的手法对人物进行的二次创作很成功(电影比书好看)电影对她的描述更多的侧重于割礼对她的残害;而书以正叙的方式描写了她一生的经历 从牧女到名模到大使的过程。电影好看也是因为它略过了主人公的不完美 有时在看书的过程中 会对...
评分这部电影的色调是沉重的,在那个落后而饱经苦难的国家,匮乏的资源,落后的思想,毁人性的风俗。电影中时而有倒叙即回忆的镜头,最令人难以忍受那喷薄的情感应当是华莉丝自述自己被迫进行“割礼”,配合着镜头播放,场面感带来的实为震撼。女性割礼是非洲的陋习,割礼的目的之...
世间的丑恶远远超出我的想象,在大陆所受的苦难和非洲某些地区的野蛮礼俗没法比。
评分非洲版的美国梦,情节跌宕起伏绝对不让人失望,很励志是真的TT
评分第一本看完的英文书 第一本看完的英文人物传记 上下班的路上都在看 很佩服这样的人生 从索马里草原到超模到联合国反女性割礼的人权主义者 这样的人生堪比小说

Just like fortune turns everything upsi
