THE NIGHT WANDERERS: UGANDA’S CHILDREN AND THE LORD’S RESISTANCE ARMY
Book ID/图书代码： 12070012B54118
English Summary/英文概要： Fleeing the aggressive reach of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and their brutal leader Joseph Kony, on an average night in northern Uganda tens of thousands of children head for the city centers to avoid capture. They find refuge on the floors of aid agencies or in the streets. In recent years, the civil society was almost completely destroyed by the LRA, itself made up almost entirely of kidnapped children. Piecing together what has been broken is proving to be a nearly impossible task.
Polish journalist Wojciech Jagielski inserts himself into this hellish landscape and finds a way to speak of these children and their wounded world. In The Night Wanderers, Jagielski shows his readers the horror of children who have been abducted from their homes and forced to kill their own family members; children who, even after they have escaped the LRA, carry the weight of their own acts of murder on their young shoulders. Jagielski portrays Uganda through their eyes as well as his own.
Carrying on the rich tradition of Ryszard Kapuściński, Jagielski digs himself deep into the Ugandan landscape and emerges with a compassionate, incisive, painful, magisterial account of a world that is just starting to pull itself out of the horrors of war.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 为了逃离上帝抵抗军（LRA）和他们的残暴的领导人约瑟夫•科尼的咄咄逼人的入侵，平均每晚在乌干达北部城市成千上万的儿童逃往城市中心，以避免被捕获。他们只能在援助机构的地板上或在街上避难。近年来，民间社会几乎完全被上帝抵抗军摧毁，抵抗军本身几乎完全是被绑架的儿童。拼凑已被打破的这一切被证明是一个几乎不可能完成的任务。波兰记者沃伊切赫•贾戈尔斯基自己深入到到这个地狱般的地区，探寻一种方式来谈论这些儿童和他们受伤的世界。在这本书中， 贾戈尔斯基向其读者展示了这些从家里被绑架并被迫杀死他们自己亲人的恐怖故事；这些孩子，即使他们已经逃脱上帝抵抗军，他们年轻的肩膀上也已经背负了谋杀的行为。贾戈尔斯基通过他们以及他自己的眼睛来描绘乌干达。开展丰富的传统，雷尚德•卡普钦斯基，贾戈尔斯基挖自己深入到乌干达，描述了一个富有同情心的、尖锐、痛苦而又专横的一个正在摆脱战争恐怖的世界。(LNL)
