THE INVISIBLE WALL
Book ID/图书代码: 11320006B03784
English Summary/英文概要: The narrow street on which Harry Bernstein grew up was seemingly unremarkable; there was nothing to distinguish it from the hundreds of other such working class streets in the industrial north of England - save for an invisible wall down the middle, dividing Jews on one side, from Christians on the other. The geographical distance may have been a couple of yards, but socially, it was miles. ’But there are few rules or unwritten laws that are not broken when circumstances demand, and few distances that are not too great to be travelled; and such was the case on our street. And I was to play an important part, unwittingly, in what happened...’ "The Invisible Wall" is the enchanting story of Harry’s childhood in the mill town of Stockport before the First World War. It’s a wonderfully charming - and extremely moving - tale of working class life, of social divide and of forbidden love...
Chinese Summary/中文概要: <<隐形墙>>是一篇充满震撼力的小说,而且是关于发生在第一次世界大战时期,作者Harry在这阴影笼罩下,在城镇北部所度过的童年的真实故事。这是个令人难以忘怀的,感人的关于劳动人民生活,社会阶级的故事,还有那段被禁止的爱情故事。
狭窄的,扑满鹅卵石的街道,Harry Bernstein就是在这样一个不起眼的街道上长大的;这是一个典型英国北部劳动阶级的街道——而这当中有道隐形墙,把犹太人和基督教徒分割了开来。从地理上来说,相隔的距离可能只是几十米,而如果从阶级上来说,相隔的距离就只能用英里来计算了。
“在我们的街道上,每当有状况发生时,总会有许多不言于表的不成文法,这些都不是轻易就可以逾越的,而习惯上来说,我们街道上无论发生什么事情,我都是不可或缺的一员。那是一个夏天的晚上,当时我四岁左右,也许是个比较小的年纪,但在我看来足以让我参与到那天晚上的闹剧……”
