THE LOST LANDS OF PARADISE
Book ID/图书代码： 00445014B67610
English Summary/英文概要： THE LOST LANDS OF PARADISE is told in three parts: The first from the perspective of a young boy growing up in a Kurdish village in southeastern Turkey, the second from the perspective of the boy’s grandmother, Almast, who, as the boy and his father come to find out, is actually Armenian, and the third in third person, narrating the voyage of the boy and his father as they transport the body of the Almast from the big city back to the village of her birth to be buried. It is a brave novel which tackles the issues of the ongoing Turkish-Kurdish conflict, as well as the Armenian genocide, and especially the Kurds’ involvement in that genocide. But most of all, it is a very human, if heart-wrenching novel (though not without sparks of humor). With 2015 marking the 100th year since the Armenian genocide, there is certain to be more and more discussion of this tragedy, and the Kurdish issue remains an important one for Turkey as well as the surrounding countries in the Middle East, I think readers will appreciate hearing from an author with genuine insight, who has witnessed the Kurdish tragedy first-hand, and is struggling to deal with the tragedy of the Armenian genocide, and the involvement of his forefathers’ in it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《天堂失地》分了三部分来讲述：第一部分以一个成长在土耳其东南部一个名为Kurdish的村庄的小男孩视角。第二个视角则以男孩的祖母，Almast，正如男孩和他父亲逐渐所发现的那样，事实上是一个美国人，笔者则以第三人称讲述了男孩和他父亲的航程，当他们运送Almast的身体从大城市回到她出生的村庄掩埋。这是一部勇敢的小说，它直面了土耳其-库尔德冲突，以及亚美尼亚种族大屠杀，尤其是库尔德人参与；饿这场大屠杀的事件。但其中最重要的是，它是一部非常人性化的、读来让人有所触动的小说（虽然不无幽默的火花）。
随着2015标志着亚美尼亚种族大屠杀一百周年纪念，势必有着对这个悲剧越来越多的讨论，库尔德事件对土耳其以及在中东的周边国家来说仍然是一个重要问题，我认为读者会领会作者非凡的内在洞察力，在于直接地见证了库尔德人的悲剧以及他的祖先参与其中。(LNL)
