On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood.
Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane's bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.
The lieutenant's name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he'd been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.
Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.
In her long-awaited new book, Laura Hillenbrand writes with the same rich and vivid narrative voice she displayed in Seabiscuit. Telling an unforgettable story of a man's journey into extremity, Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.
我不热衷任何形式战争题材的电影或书籍甚至历史,因为战争背景下的人性是狭隘和扭曲的。这种人性对人类精神世界的进化也无任何益处。可是当人被迫被卷入战争的漩涡后,在激烈冲突的撞击下如何反应,坚持和生存的话题,我却很希望了解。 Unbroken还原的就是一个二战为背景下,一...
评分 评分一口气读完了这本厚厚的书,用了两天。我相信只要你一旦开始了解这个故事,你就会被深深吸引,无法放下。 故事的主人公路易,小时候是一个坏孩子,妈妈根本管教不了,书里面路易童年的每个故事,都是“然后我撒腿就跑”而结束。当路易走进高中以后,恶作剧还是接连不...
评分每次读书都在很长的waiting list上面精挑细选,上榜的都是精品,再反复pk,配合当时的心境和情绪,用有限的阅读时间里榨取最大的养分。这么做的好处是选中的都是经典中的经典,当然也有坏处,就是往往期望值过高,而现实无法企及。 Unbroken就是这样,两周前带着九十多分的期...
评分A larger-than-life life. Finished on 02/22/2015
评分歷史學家拼貼和組合素材的能力,心理學家對人性的洞察力,編劇講故事的能力。
评分宗教意味太浓
评分要想看人生,最美的不是优哉游哉对酒当歌问青天,而是几十天里救生艇上生擒信天翁数次并饮其血,用鸟肉捕鱼,以海水当下酒菜蘸着鱼肉得以活下去。
评分这个结尾摆明了是想升华,但对我这种不信教的人来说,只能是莫名其妙。
