圖書描述

In the 1880s, as the European powers were carving up Africa, King Leopold II of Belgium seized for himself the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. Carrying out a genocidal plundering of the Congo, he looted its rubber, brutalized its people, and ultimately slashed its population by ten million--all the while shrewdly cultivating his reputation as a great humanitarian. Heroic efforts to expose these crimes eventually led to the first great human rights movement of the twentieth century, in which everyone from Mark Twain to the Archbishop of Canterbury participated. King Leopold's Ghost is the haunting account of a megalomaniac of monstrous proportions, a man as cunning, charming, and cruel as any of the great Shakespearean villains. It is also the deeply moving portrait of those who fought Leopold: a brave handful of missionaries, travelers, and young idealists who went to Africa for work or adventure and unexpectedly found themselves witnesses to a holocaust. Adam Hochschild brings this largely untold story alive with the wit and skill of a Barbara Tuchman. Like her, he knows that history often provides a far richer cast of characters than any novelist could invent. Chief among them is Edmund Morel, a young British shipping agent who went on to lead the international crusade against Leopold. Another hero of this tale, the Irish patriot Roger Casement, ended his life on a London gallows. Two courageous black Americans, George Washington Williams and William Sheppard, risked much to bring evidence of the Congo atrocities to the outside world. Sailing into the middle of the story was a young Congo River steamboat officer named Joseph Conrad. And looming above them all, the duplicitous billionaire King Leopold II. With great power and compassion, King Leopold's Ghost will brand the tragedy of the Congo--too long forgotten--onto the conscience of the West.

用戶評價

評分

"And yet the world we live in—its divisions and conflicts, its widening gap between rich and poor, its seemingly inexplicable outbursts of violence—is shaped far less by what we celebrate and mythologize than by the painful events we try to forget. Leopold's Congo is but one of those silences of history."

評分

感覺給書打分都不會太苛刻,況且這本的確不錯。讀完Heart of Darkness過來讀它,效果非常好。

評分

敘述史實的過程中用真實的故事勾勒瞭很多有血有肉性格各異的人物,給原本枯燥的曆史增加瞭極大的可讀性,成就瞭一本鞭撻醜惡貪婪,弘揚人性正義信仰的優秀作品。

評分

19世纪后期和20世纪初期,在非洲中西部的刚果上演了一幕惨绝人寰的人间悲剧。戏剧的总导演是欧洲小国比利时国王利奥波德二世,前期的主要演员是英国人亨利·莫顿·斯坦利,后期是参与其中的各色人物。利奥波德一直在幕后策划,斯坦利负责殖民草创初期的前台执行以及后来始终不...  

評分

恢宏巨著,抽丝剥茧的叙述了利奥波德如何瞒天过海在刚果建立起一个私人奴隶王国,莫雷尔克莱门特等人又如何见微知著后大声疾呼,最终引起欧美诸国舆论关注,给黑暗的非洲带来一丝丝光亮。客观的说,在当时殖民时代,比利时在刚果的行为并不比德英法在非洲,美国对印第安人或菲...  

評分

本来以为是个生僻的主题,结果却是出乎意料精彩的一本书。 作者也曾被多家出版商拒绝,理由很充分:大众读者会关心希特勒屠杀犹太人,关心斯大林血洗苏联,但谁会关心这个比利时国王凌虐刚果这不毛之地的黑鬼? 结果,他们的脸被打的啪啪作响,这本书非常畅销而且好评如潮。 一...  

評分

关于比利时,孤陋寡闻如我,只知道两个人,其中一个人还是假的,那就是大侦探小说家克里斯蒂笔下的波洛(新上映的电影《东方快车谋杀案》中的新波洛将旧形象颠覆得体无完肤)。如果你提醒我,那是一个假人,那就对了。剩下一个,倒是如假包换的比利时人,是个国王,叫利奥波德...

ps,书中有几处小错误~但是,翻译的非常流畅,可读性强 可恶的140字…… 葡萄牙海军上尉迪奥戈·康发现刚果河。 葡萄牙牧师、使者等在刚果定居,是欧洲与非洲黑人国家的第一次长期接触。当时的刚果王国,面积300平方英里,首都姆班扎刚果,是奴隶制国家,货币为贝壳。 刚果王...
