NIGHT TRAINS

Book ID/图书代码： 06120014B71022

English Summary/英文概要： THIS IS BASED ON A TRUE EVENT. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED but in Sofia.

An unforgettable account of how an entire town in Poland resists the devastating blow of the occupying Nazi forces, using wit, courage, and determination as its only weapons.

Occupied by the Germans, the strategically located town of Sofia, Poland, stands on the brink of annihilation in 1941. As every arrest and execution brings total obliteration closer to reality, two medical doctors devise an ingenious plan — to stage a typus epidemic that will force the Nazis to evacuate. The locals and their enemy swiftly become enmeshed in what soon becomes the most daring act of resistance in World War II. Jan Szukalski—A brilliant doctor, he masterminds the hoax with his partner, Mary Duszynska, whose work binds them together more strongly than love itself. Maximillian Hartung—A German officer, he is ruthless in his lust for personal power and determined to win Hitler’s personal attention by breaking the resistance in Sofia. David Ryz—A young Jewish leader of a zealous band of partisans, he helps incite the town to violence and unwittingly puts the medical hoax in jeopardy. Gripping and powerful, Night Trains brilliantly illuminates the classic conflict between active and passive resistance in one town’s fight for survival.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作品讲述了一个令人难忘的故事——波兰的一个小镇，全体人民凭借智慧、勇气和决心作为唯一的武器，奋起反抗纳粹的占领。

1941年，波兰要塞小镇索菲亚杯德军占领，面临着被全体歼灭的危险。随着一次次的逮捕和处决，两位医生谋划了一个绝妙的计划——捏造一场传染病，强迫纳粹撤退。当地人民于是上演了二战期间最具勇气的一场抵抗战争。机智的医生Jan Szukalski和他的伴侣Mary Duszynska共同策划了这场伟大的骗局。德国军官Maximillian Hartung则沉迷于权力之中，一心想着通过打破索菲亚人民的抵抗获得希特勒的关注。年轻的游击队犹太领导者David Ryz使小镇陷入暴力，并无意识地使这场医疗骗局陷入危险。本书情节引人入胜，激动人心，巧妙地反映了在小镇为生存而抗争的过程中积极和消极抵抗之间的经典冲突。(LYR)
