A LONG WALK HOME: ONE WOMAN’S STORY OF KIDNAP, HOSTAGE, LOSS - AND SURVIVAL
Book ID/图书代码： 04560013B63313
English Summary/英文概要： This is the story of how, over a period of one hundred and ninety-two days, I was torn away from the life I knew and loved, and dragged down to the depths of despair; of how I endured enforced isolation and near-starvation at the hands of Somali pirates; and of how I made a choice to survive by any and all means that I could muster.
In September 2011 Judith Tebbutt and her husband David set out on an adventurous holiday to Kenya. A couple for thirty-three years, they had first met in Zambia: Africa had played a major part in their life together. After a joyous week on safari in the Masai Mara, they flew on to a beach resort forty kilometres south of Somalia. And there, in the early hours of 11 September, tragedy struck them.
Judith was torn away from David by a band of armed pirates, dragged over sea and land to a village in the arid heart of lawless Somalia, and there held hostage in a squalid room, a ransom on her head. There, too, she learned the terrible truth that the responsibility of securing her release now rested with her son Ollie.
But though she was isolated, intimidated and near-starved, Judith resolved to survive - walking endless circuits of her nine-foot prison, trying to make her captors see her as a human being, keeping her faith at all times in Ollie.
Powerful, moving and at times quite devastating, this is Judith Tebbutt’s story in her own words. It is a memoir of the life she shared with her beloved husband, an unflinching account of the ordeal that overturned her world, and a testament to the inner resilience and familial love that sustained her through captivity.
There is nothing so bad in life as to have no hope - to believe you have been defeated, to give in to that. Now that I found myself in confinement, four thousand miles from home under a hostile sky, I would not accept that fate for myself.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在192天里，我被拖离了我熟悉和喜爱的生活，并卷入到绝望的深渊，这期间我是如何忍受强制隔离，差一点落到索马里海盗手中，以及我是如何不择手段的生存，这本书就是讲述的这段时期里的故事。
2011年9月朱迪•思特布特和她的丈夫大卫到肯尼亚度过一个冒险的假期。这对夫妇结婚33年了，他们第一次在赞比亚遇见：非洲在他们的生活中占有重要地位。在马赛马拉野生动物园度过了欢乐的一周后，他们飞到40公里以南的索马里的一个海滩度假胜地，然而9月11日凌晨，悲剧发生了。
朱迪被武装海盗强行从大卫身边带离，越过大海来到不法索马里干旱中心的一个村庄，她被关在一个肮脏的房间里，拿赎金来才会放人。在那里她了解了一个可怕的事实，现在救她的责任落到了他儿子奥利的身上。
不过，虽然朱迪被孤立恐吓，还一直挨饿，她决定要生存下来，她在自己九步远的监狱里一直行走，她要让绑架者看到她作为一个人对自己儿子的信仰。
这本书非常有力量，很感动，但有时甚至相当有毁灭性，这由朱迪自己所写。这是一本回忆录，里面有她和心爱的丈夫的生活，有打翻她世界的磨难，她被囚禁的经历证明了亲情的韧性和家庭的爱。
生活中没有比失去希望更糟糕的了，因为你相信自己已经被打败了。我发现自己被关在笼子里，家距这片充满敌意的天空有4千公里。我不会接受这样的命运。(LNL)
