編輯推薦
《為奴十二年》是一段美國最無法迴避的真實曆史,一個像奧巴馬一樣優雅的黑人在不懈地同命運抗爭,曆經艱辛地追求自由、尊嚴,12年後輾轉返迴傢園。世界名著《湯姆叔叔的小屋》就是以本文作者的這段經曆為原型創作的。無論是原著者,還是電影導演史蒂夫·麥奎因在這部作品中均要錶達“我不想僅僅是生存,我想要生活”這一失去自由的人嚮世界發齣的呐喊主題。《為奴十二年》的故事曆經150年,仍然適用於生活在今天的熱愛自由、崇尚人性和敬畏尊嚴的人們。
當你想放棄的時候,一定要看看這本書!
內容簡介
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.
《為奴十二年》是那種距離我們非常遙遠,但隻要一讀,那種莫名的熟悉感就會撲麵而來的故事。這也是為什麼它寫的是一段美國的曆史,但卻在今年撼動瞭整個世界電影圈的原因。因為《為奴十二年》中那些關於堅守生命、自由、尊嚴和信念的決心和執著,讓人無法迴避。它在奮力地為愛與親情、為迴傢而抗爭,它讓冰冷的現代人潸然淚下。世界名著《湯姆叔叔的小屋》中的許多情節取材於這個故事,一個受過良好教育、會拉小提琴的自由黑人,被欺騙綁架販賣為奴隸,他曆經瞭十二年的非人生活,最終迴到瞭傢園。原來,在迴傢的漫漫長路上,無論時間,無論歲月,也無論地點,你、我、他都是一樣的……
