SEARCHING FOR SCHINDLER
Book ID/图书代码: 11701208B21675
English Summary/英文概要: The extraordinary tale of Oskar Schindler, the Aryan who saved hundreds of Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland, is now legendary, but as Tom Keneally reveals in this absorbing memoir, luck and the dogged persistence of one of ‘Schindler’s Jews’ were vital in bringing it to the world’s attention through his Booker Prize-winning novel, SCHINDLER’S ARK and the subsequent film, SCHINDLER’S LIST.
Entertaining, inspiring and filled with anecdotes about the many people involved, from the survivors Keneally interviewed to Steven Spielberg and Liam Neeson, Searching for Schindler gives a revealing insight into a writer’s mind and the creation of a modern classic. It also traces what happened in the decades after the war to Schindler, his wife, and the people they rescued – including Leopold Pfefferberg, who made it his mission to repay his priceless debt to Schindler. Above all, it sheds renewed light on a fascinatingly flawed man, and an instance of exceptional humanity amid the greatest inhumanity mankind has known.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 1982年,作家肯尼利撰写了著名的获奖传记文学《辛德勒的名单》,该书随后被翻拍成为电影,并一举捧得了多项奥斯卡殊荣,自此名扬海外,变得家喻户晓。
而本书中作家肯尼利将再次对其笔下的奥斯开.辛德勒进行回顾,正是这个鲜为人知的纳粹党人,假借着雇工的名义,成功从死亡集中营内解救出了众多犹太人的宝贵生命。
1981年,当时已是一名成功作家的肯尼利,于偶然之际获悉到了奥斯卡.辛德勒鲜为人知的壮举,深受感动的他决定要用自己的文字,将这段历史故事连同辛德勒所做出的巨大贡献一道,呈现在世人的面前。起初,在贝弗利山庄的一间皮箱店内,肯尼利结识到了老板里奥波特."波德克".費佛伯格.这位说起话来滔滔不绝的店主,是一名波兰裔犹太人。作为纳粹种族大屠杀的幸存者,长久以来,他一直希望能够将自己的经历遭遇公诸于世。
面对着肯尼利,波德克娓娓道出了这段感人至深的故事,“在别人眼中,他只是一名嗜酒如命、放荡形骸、干着黑市勾当的纳粹,但在我的眼中,奥斯卡.辛德勒就是耶稣的化生.”
《寻找辛德勒》一书,真实地记述了肯尼利找寻发掘这段历史故事的整个过程:为了深入了解辛德勒的生平,肯尼利同波德克一道先后横跨美国、德国、以色列、波兰以及奥地利,四处探访,从人们的口中收集到了大量有关犹太大屠杀的真实叙述。种种这些,经由肯尼利有力的笔锋描述而出,更加显得是掷地有声、震撼人心,因此《辛德勒的名单》一经问世,便很快地攀上了畅销书排行榜的头名。
而史蒂芬斯皮尔所拍摄的同名改编电影,更是完成了波德克长久以来的夙愿,为“奥斯卡赢得一座奥斯卡”.(而在拍摄过程中,发生在斯皮尔伯格、利亚姆•尼森以及本•金斯利身上的奇闻轶事也将被收录到了本书当中,绝对是影迷们所喜闻乐见的)。与此同时,通过《寻找辛德勒》字里行间所流露出的坦诚与幽默,我们还能够直观感受到肯尼利本人在创作之路上的成长经历,以及在他描绘下的奥斯卡.辛德勒所取得的巨大成功。
