On 11 March 2011, a massive earthquake sent a 120-foot-high tsunami smashing into the coast of north-east Japan. By the time the sea retreated, more than 18,500 people had been crushed, burned to death, or drowned.
It was Japan’s greatest single loss of life since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. It set off a national crisis, and the meltdown of a nuclear power plant. And even after the immediate emergency had abated, the trauma of the disaster continued to express itself in bizarre and mysterious ways.
Richard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, lived through the earthquake in Tokyo, and spent six years reporting from the disaster zone. There he encountered stories of ghosts and hauntings. He met a priest who performed exorcisms on people possessed by the spirits of the dead. And he found himself drawn back again and again to a village which had suffered the greatest loss of all, a community tormented by unbearable mysteries of its own.
What really happened to the local children as they waited in the school playground in the moments before the tsunami? Why did their teachers not evacuate them to safety? And why was the unbearable truth being so stubbornly covered up?
Ghosts of the Tsunami is a classic of literary non-fiction, a heart-breaking and intimate account of an epic tragedy, told through the personal accounts of those who lived through it. It tells the story of how a nation faced a catastrophe, and the bleak struggle to find consolation in the ruins.
Richard Lloyd Parry was born in north-west England, and has lived since 1995 in Tokyo, where he is the Asia Editor of The Times newspaper of London. He has reported from twenty-eight countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq and North Korea. In 2005, he was named the UK's foreign correspondent of the year. He has also written for Granta, the New York Times and the London Review of Books.
“Japan had enough serenity and self-restraint. What it needed now was people like the Shitos and the Tadanos and the Suzukis: angry, scathing, determined people, unafraid to step out of the ranks and fight, even if all that the contest amounted to was the losing struggle with death.”
评分一本好书。不仅从遇难者家属,幸存者,政府官员,牧师多个角度记录了2011年这场海啸灾难,也深刻反思了日本社会的矛盾,以及灾难对政治和文化带来的冲击和改变。在社会问题面前,日本人真的够能「忍」,或者说,「懒」。可以和中国对比着看更加有趣。
评分最近从社交媒体到纪实文学看了好多有关灾难的内容,心情都不太好了,这种状态暂时告一段落吧。接下来找些不这么沉重的书来看。
评分是部窺一斑而見全豹的作品 文筆極佳 多元的視角 沒有非黑即白。最後落腳點在地理環境 制度 以及文化上 兼及日本當下的政治。求穩求全不求變 聲譽和秩序壓倒事實--中日在這點上也算共通。作者用domineering assertiveness形容中國 實在太恰當。都是面子大於裏子的文化。但求變與求穩這兩種 cultural ideology背後的動因如果是自然环境 那書中呈現的問題會有解嗎。
