當(dāng)所有的希望都失去時，一個人如何生存?
HOW DOES ONE SURVIVE WHEN ALL HOPE IS LOST?
1997年的一個午夜，無國界醫(yī)生組織的行政人員克里斯托夫André被武裝人員綁架，并被帶到高加索地區(qū)一個未知的目的地。André被戴上手銬單獨(dú)監(jiān)禁了三個月，幾乎沒有賴以生存的食物，幾乎沒有與外界的聯(lián)系。將近二十年后，獲獎的漫畫家蓋伊·迪萊爾(曾創(chuàng)作過平壤、耶路撒冷、深圳、緬甸編年史)在《人質(zhì)》一書中講述了André的悲慘經(jīng)歷，這本書證明了一個人在絕望的情況下決心的力量。
In the middle of the night in 1997, Doctors Without Borders administrator Christophe André was kidnapped by armed men and taken away to an unknown destination in the Caucasus region. For three months, André was kept handcuffed in solitary confinement, with little to survive on and almost no contact with the outside world. Close to twenty years later, award-winning cartoonist Guy Delisle (Pyongyang, Jerusalem, Shenzhen, Burma Chronicles) recounts André’s harrowing experience in Hostage, a book that attests to the power of one man’s determination in the face of a hopeless situation.
與作者著名的第一人稱游記不同，迪萊爾通過名義上的俘虜?shù)囊暯侵v述了這個故事，當(dāng)絕望開始出現(xiàn)時，他努力保持清醒的頭腦。迪萊爾的作品風(fēng)格精簡，色彩柔和，傳達(dá)了單獨(dú)監(jiān)禁的心理影響，迫使我們問自己一些棘手的問題，如與綁架者談判的后果，以及自由的真正含義?！度速|(zhì)》深思熟慮、緊張而感人，深刻地審視了在最黑暗的時刻是什么驅(qū)使著我們的生存意志。
Marking a departure from the author’s celebrated first-person travelogues, Delisle tells the story through the perspective of the titular captive, who strives to keep his mind alert as desperation starts to set in. Working in a pared down style with muted colour washes, Delisle conveys the psychological effects of solitary confinement, compelling us to ask ourselves some difficult questions regarding the repercussions of negotiating with kidnappers and what it really means to be free. Thoughtful, intense, and moving, Hostage takes a profound look at what drives our will to survive in the darkest of moments.
