ESCAPE ROUTES
Book ID/图书代码： 07861215B84224
English Summary/英文概要： This is a book about the nature of escape. Why do escapes recur with such prominence in our stories and mythologies? What is it actually like to be running for your life in difficult terrain?
Jacqueline Yallop traces some of Europe’s most arduous and beautiful escape routes, walking the paths to freedom through mountain and forest in an attempt to trace journeys from the seventeenth to the late twentieth centuries, exploring them as they exist today, looking at their historical importance, drawing out the individual stories of those who were forced into escape and those who helped them.
From the Camins de Ronda in Spain, which was used in the Civil War, to the WW1 Path of the Cramars in Carinthia, Italy; and from Napoleon’s march through the Alps, Norwegian resistance fighters fleeing German occupation in 1940 and Bulgarians citizens crossing to Greece through the Rhodope mountains during the Cold War, Escape Routes draws on contemporary first-hand accounts as well as a range of historical sources to present these daring escapes in historical, political and social context. At a time when debates about immigration and refugees are in the daily news, the book raises fundamental questions about the role of borders, and our response to the stories of those who flee across them.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一本有关于人类逃离习性的书。为何逃离总会反复并且以一种瞩目的方式出现在我们的故事和神话之中？在一片艰难的领土之上拼命奔离又是一种怎样的感受？
在本书中，杰奎琳•雅洛普追溯了欧洲历史上最为艰难却又美丽异常的逃离路线，在步行穿越山林的自由之路中，她尝试追溯从17世纪至20世纪末的一段段旅程，仿若这些道路依旧存在至今一般对其展开探索，反观其在历史上的重要性，从中延伸出有关于那些曾经被迫逃离以及帮助逃离者们的个体故事。
从西班牙内战中的Camins de Ronda，到意大利克恩顿州的WW1 Path of the Cramars；从拿破仑的阿尔卑斯山翻越之旅，挪威抵抗者1940年逃往德国的占领之旅，到保加利亚公民冷战期间穿越罗多彼山脉前往希腊，《逃离之路》不仅参考了大量第一手的当代叙述资料，同时借鉴了大量历史史实来再度呈现，这些无论从历史角度、政治意义还是社会视角而言都堪称勇敢的逃亡之旅。尤其是在当今这个时代，当对移民和难民问题的讨论早已占据每日新闻媒体的头版头条，本书更是向我们提出了最为基本的问题，有关于边界所扮演的角色，以及我们对于那些穿越这些边界者们人生故事的态度。（DC）
