MY FRIEND THE ENEMY:AN ENGLISH BOY IN NAZI GERMANY
Book ID/图书代码: 06580007B11509
English Summary/英文概要: On a visit to Germany in 1934, Nora Briscoe became captivated by National Socialism, so much so that two years later she entrusted her six-year-old son Paul to a German foster family. When war was declared in September 1939, Paul was left stranded in an alien country, while his mother became a Nazi spy operating out of the British Ministry of Supply. In this compelling and deeply moving memoir of war and childhood, Paul Briscoe recalls his harrowing experiences in Nazi Germany, including a raid on a synagogue with his fellow members of the Hitler Youth, and becoming a poster boy for National Socialism in one of the Party’s propaganda films. On his return to England in 1945 - leaving behind the German family he had grown to love - he was confronted with a mother he did not recognise in a country whose language he could no longer speak. And he learned that his mother had been imprisoned for treason after an intricate MI5 sting. My Friend the Enemy brings vividly to life this extraordinary story, conveying the pain, exhilaration and confusion of the son but also the ambition, delusion and eventual shame of the mother, drawing on her diaries and unpublished autobiography. This enormously popular wartime memoir is now available in B-format paperback.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 十歲的英國男孩Paul Briscoe宣誓終身效忠希特勒:
“當我第一次穿上黑色短褲和褐色襯衫,對元首莊嚴宣誓我將終生效忠於他時,我感到無比自豪。”
1934年的ㄧ趟德國之旅,讓Nora Briscoe著迷於希特勒與納粹主義。兩年後她將年僅六歲的兒子Paul寄養在一個德國家庭,自己投身於情報工作。
1939年二戰爆發,Nora成為一名潛身於英國國防部的納粹間諜,最後被MI5(英國國內的反情報及國家安全部門)逮捕關入監獄。
Paul就如一個普通德國小孩那樣長大,他逐漸忘記了在英國的兒時記憶,也忘記自己的母語。Paul在德國學校念書,之後加入了希特勒青年團,他像其他德國青年一樣參加軍國主義遊行和演習,為身著統一制服而無比驕傲。在民族主義的煽動下,他參與被稱為猶太人噩夢的“水晶之夜”。
戰爭結束後,Paul被遣返回國與母親相見,然而面臨的一切讓他不知所措—陌生的國度、陌生的語言、還有如陌生人般的母親。
《My Friend the Enemy》是一本動人的戰爭回憶錄,描述一個兒子的悲傷、喜悅和傍徨,而通過對他母親日記的解讀,也將一個母親的抱負和欺瞞展現在讀者眼前。(RH & KC)
