The Bells of Nagasaki

內容簡介

內容簡介 「每個人都應該讀的一本書。」——《泰晤士報》（The Times）一段關於長崎原子彈轟炸悲慘、令人心碎的第一手記述——以及在其餘波中留下的人性善良行徑。1945 年 8 月 9 日，日本城市長崎遭到原子彈襲擊。四萬人當場喪生。永井隆醫生並非其中之一。永井隆拖著殘破、流血的身軀，從曾經是大學醫院的廢墟中爬了出來，聚集起一夥衣衫襤褸的倖存者。醫生、護士、學生，每個人都承受著各自的喪親之痛，以及對未來的恐懼：他們不知疲倦地投入這項不可能的任務——救助無數的傷員，並減輕那些他們無法挽救之人的死亡痛苦。即便一種陌生且不斷蔓延的疾病（輻射病）開始奪走他們的生命，他們依然決心治癒這座崩塌的城市，在斷壁殘垣中尋找安慰與希望。作為人類歷史上最致命事件之一的目擊者，這是永井隆在病榻上寫下的紀錄——這是一份令人不寒而慄的歷史文獻，也是人類保有善良能力的無可辯駁的證據。本書現於英國出版，以紀念廣島和長崎原子彈轟炸 80 週年。隨書附有理查·羅伊德·帕里（Richard Lloyd Parry）撰寫的導讀。‘A book that everyone should read’ The TimesA harrowing, heart-rending first-hand account of the bombing of Nagasaki – and the acts of human kindness left in its wake.On 9th August 1945, the Japanese city of Nagasaki is hit by an atomic bomb. Forty thousand people are killed instantly. Doctor Takashi Nagai is not one of them.Pulling himself, broken and bloodied, from the wreckage that was once the city’s university hospital, Takashi bundles together a tattered group of survivors. Doctors, nurses, students, each with their own losses, their own fears for the future: they work tirelessly at the impossible task of aiding the countless wounded and easing the deaths of those they cannot save. They remain determined to heal their fallen city, even as a strange and growing sickness begins to claim them.Eyewitness to one of the most fatal events in human history, this is Takashi’s record, written from his sickbed – a chilling historical document, and undeniable evidence of the capacity for human kindness.WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM RICHARD LLOYD PARRY
