On the morning of August 13, 1961, the residents of East Berlin found themselves cut off from family, friends and jobs in the West by a tangle of barbed wire that ruthlessly cut a city of four million in two. Within days the barbed-wire entanglement would undergo an extraordinary metamorphosis: it became an imposing 103-mile-long wall guarded by three hundred watchtowers. A physical manifestation of the struggle between Soviet Communism and American capitalism—totalitarianism and freedom—that would stand for nearly thirty years, the Berlin Wall was the high-risk fault line between East and West on which rested the fate of all humanity. Many brave people risked their lives to overcome this lethal barrier, and some paid the ultimate price. In this captivating work, sure to be the definitive history on the subject, Frederick Taylor weaves together official history, archival materials and personal accounts to tell the complete story of the Wall's rise and fall, from the postwar political tensions that created a divided Berlin to the internal and external pressures that led to the Wall's demise. In addition, he explores the geopolitical ramifications as well as the impact the wall had on ordinary lives that is still felt today. For the first time the entire world faced the threat of imminent nuclear apocalypse, a fear that would be eased only when the very people the Wall had been built to imprison breached it on the historic night of November 9, 1989. Gripping and authoritative, The Berlin Wall is the first comprehensive account of a divided city and its people in a time when the world seemed to stand permanently on the edge of destruction.
20多年前,柏林人曾因推倒柏林墙而大感畅快淋漓。可现在,他们却有些后悔,因为当初毁掉柏林墙太过彻底,以至于如今来柏林的游客几乎找不到它的历史痕迹。在庆祝柏林墙倒塌20周年之际,许多柏林人倒希望,当初应该留下更完整的墙体结构作为历史纪念。为此,德国也意识到了...
評分众所周知,《柏林墙》一书中所描绘的柏林墙在现实中是苏联在德国的一件作品,一件可能导致德国民族割裂的作品。 但是事物都是矛盾存在的,柏林墙的存在也不是有害无益。书中的描述在我们今天看来,柏林墙的建立应该利大于弊。抛开因为导致柏林人“偷渡”牺牲的因素,抛开...
評分2009年11月,柏林的天空异常的安静,在这里读了4年书的我有幸赶上了柏林墙倒塌20周年的纪念活动,中国的元旦前我回到了北京,更加幸运的读到了《柏林墙》中文版,这是一部讲述柏林墙的兴建与倒掉的作品。在西方的文学影视作品中,柏林墙从来都是绝望、英勇的东德人逃离“魔掌...
評分1989年,柏林墙塌了;1990年,两德统一了。假如故事到此戛然而止,我们可以说两德人民迎来了一个宛如童话般的结局:“从此王子与公主在一起过上了幸福的生活。” 可惜我们要纪念的并非柏林墙倒塌那一天,而是柏林墙倒塌二十周年,也就不得不焚琴煮鹤般的把“王子与公...
評分柏林墙代表什么?读完《柏林墙》后明白其实一千个人心目中有一千个柏林墙。不过在我们看来,柏林墙最大的意义在于:这堵对本国人民的禁锢与奴役的墙,鲜活又生动地揭示了为了自由,两德人民与政府究竟愿意付出怎样的代价。 是的,迫使东德政府修建这堵墙的东德人民...
