THE NEW ODYSSEY: THE STORY OF THE EUROPEAN REFUGEE CRISIS
Book ID/图书代码： 04560015B84611
English Summary/英文概要： Europe is facing a wave of migration unmatched since the end of World War II – and no one has reported on this crisis in more depth or breadth than the Guardian’s migration correspondent, Patrick Kingsley. Throughout 2015, Kingsley travelled to 17 countries along the migrant trail, meeting hundreds of refugees making epic odysseys across deserts, seas and mountains to reach the holy grail of Europe. The New Odyssey: The Story of the European Refugee Crisis is Kingsley’s unparalleled account of who these voyagers are. It’s about why they keep coming, and how they do it. It’s about the smugglers who help them on their way, and the coastguards who rescue them at the other end. The volunteers that feed them, the hoteliers that house them, and the border guards trying to keep them out. And the politicians looking the other way.
Kingsley sets a fast pace as he follows one person to the next; riding the trains with Hashem al-Souki as he travels from Syria to Sweden; drinking illicit moonshine with the kingpin smuggler Hajj, an obese Libyan law graduate who makes millions from his new trade; walking with Fattemah Abu al-Rouse, the pregnant Syrian teacher who fears losing her baby as she treks through the Balkans; and driving with Austria’s last wandering shepherd, Hans Breuer, as he rescues desperate refugees from the EU border, and then sings them Yiddish folk-songs.
In the process, The New Odyssey provides an unparalleled account of the 2015 migration crisis, through the eyes of an author who witnessed it in all its forms.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 欧洲正在面临二战结束以来规模最大的移民潮——而《卫报》的移民记者Patrick Kingsley对这场危机进行了最深入、最广泛的报道。2015年，作者前往移民路线沿线的17个国家，采访了数百名难民，他们不远万里，穿越沙漠、海洋、高山，最终到达欧洲。本书中，作者对这些难民进行了深入细致的描写，揭示了他们不断前行的原因和方式。同时，书中也记录了在路途中帮助这些人的走私者；在另一端营救他们的海岸警卫队；给他们提供食物的志愿者；给他们提供住宿的旅店老板；努力将他们向外推的边境守卫；正在寻求其他解决方法的政客们……
Kingsley在快节奏的采访中遇到了各种各样的人——在从叙利亚前往瑞典的途中和 Hashem al-Souki 同乘一列火车；和走私头目Hajj一起喝私酒，他有点肥胖，是个利比亚法学研究生，靠这新生意赚了几百万；和Fattemah Abu al-Rouse同行，她是个怀有身孕的叙利亚教师，在巴尔干半岛艰难前行，又害怕失去自己的孩子；与奥地利最后的流浪牧羊人Hans Breuer一起开车，他从欧盟边境救助绝望的难民，并给他们唱意第绪语民歌……本书通过这位事件方方面面的亲历者的视角，对2015年移民危机进行了前所未有的全面而翔实的记录。（LYR）
