《为奴十二年》是一段美国最无法回避的真实历史,一个像奥巴马一样优雅的黑人在不懈地同命运抗争,历经艰辛地追求自由、尊严,12年后辗转返回家园。世界名著《汤姆叔叔的小屋》就是以本文作者的这段经历为原型创作的。无论是原著者,还是电影导演史蒂夫·麦奎因在这部作品中均要表达“我不想仅仅是生存,我想要生活”这一失去自由的人向世界发出的呐喊主题。《为奴十二年》的故事历经150年,仍然适用于生活在今天的热爱自由、崇尚人性和敬畏尊严的人们。
当你想放弃的时候,一定要看看这本书!
内容简介
The shocking first-hand account of one man's remarkable fight for freedom; now an award-winning motion picture. 'Why had I not died in my young years - before God had given me children to love and live for? What unhappiness and suffering and sorrow it would have prevented. I sighed for liberty; but the bondsman's chain was round me, and could not be shaken off.' 1841: Solomon Northup is a successful violinist when he is kidnapped and sold into slavery. Taken from his family in New York State - with no hope of ever seeing them again - and forced to work on the cotton plantations in the Deep South, he spends the next twelve years in captivity until his eventual escape in 1853. First published in 1853, this extraordinary true story proved to be a powerful voice in the debate over slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War. It is a true-life testament of one man's courage and conviction in the face of unfathomable injustice and brutality: its influence on the course of American history cannot be overstated.
《为奴十二年》是那种距离我们非常遥远,但只要一读,那种莫名的熟悉感就会扑面而来的故事。这也是为什么它写的是一段美国的历史,但却在今年撼动了整个世界电影圈的原因。因为《为奴十二年》中那些关于坚守生命、自由、尊严和信念的决心和执著,让人无法回避。它在奋力地为爱与亲情、为回家而抗争,它让冰冷的现代人潸然泪下。世界名著《汤姆叔叔的小屋》中的许多情节取材于这个故事,一个受过良好教育、会拉小提琴的自由黑人,被欺骗绑架贩卖为奴隶,他历经了十二年的非人生活,最终回到了家园。原来,在回家的漫漫长路上,无论时间,无论岁月,也无论地点,你、我、他都是一样的……
