On 11 March 2011, a massive earthquake sent a 120-foot-high tsunami smashing into the coast of north-east Japan. By the time the sea retreated, more than 18,500 people had been crushed, burned to death, or drowned.
It was Japan’s greatest single loss of life since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. It set off a national crisis, and the meltdown of a nuclear power plant. And even after the immediate emergency had abated, the trauma of the disaster continued to express itself in bizarre and mysterious ways.
Richard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, lived through the earthquake in Tokyo, and spent six years reporting from the disaster zone. There he encountered stories of ghosts and hauntings. He met a priest who performed exorcisms on people possessed by the spirits of the dead. And he found himself drawn back again and again to a village which had suffered the greatest loss of all, a community tormented by unbearable mysteries of its own.
What really happened to the local children as they waited in the school playground in the moments before the tsunami? Why did their teachers not evacuate them to safety? And why was the unbearable truth being so stubbornly covered up?
Ghosts of the Tsunami is a classic of literary non-fiction, a heart-breaking and intimate account of an epic tragedy, told through the personal accounts of those who lived through it. It tells the story of how a nation faced a catastrophe, and the bleak struggle to find consolation in the ruins.
Richard Lloyd Parry was born in north-west England, and has lived since 1995 in Tokyo, where he is the Asia Editor of The Times newspaper of London. He has reported from twenty-eight countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq and North Korea. In 2005, he was named the UK's foreign correspondent of the year. He has also written for Granta, the New York Times and the London Review of Books.
“Japan had enough serenity and self-restraint. What it needed now was people like the Shitos and the Tadanos and the Suzukis: angry, scathing, determined people, unafraid to step out of the ranks and fight, even if all that the contest amounted to was the losing struggle with death.”

评分食人的不只是天灾,作为非虚构作品文学性强得可怕。
评分是部窺一斑而見全豹的作品 文筆極佳 多元的視角 沒有非黑即白。最後落腳點在地理環境 制度 以及文化上 兼及日本當下的政治。求穩求全不求變 聲譽和秩序壓倒事實--中日在這點上也算共通。作者用domineering assertiveness形容中國 實在太恰當。都是面子大於裏子的文化。但求變與求穩這兩種 cultural ideology背後的動因如果是自然环境 那書中呈現的問題會有解嗎。
评分对去个体化责任的洞悉,虽是老调,但结合东日本大事件及本书涉及的后续事件,则更令人相信这不关乎右派,或是保守主义,而是植根于文化,乃至语言之中的。喜欢作者对日语结构的解构分析,或许是个索绪尔信徒。

评分原载于深港书评。 一场突如其来的新冠肺炎,无论结局如何,最后都将把我们划分为两个截然不同的群体:受害者,以及幸存者。受害者是自身或家属的生命直接遭受病毒的侵害,而幸存者虽幸免于生离死别,但也在生活及工作上或多或少受到影响,见证了一切如何发生和蔓延的。 无论归...
评分灾难不论何时,都是如此地相似 现在时间是2020年2月1日,离2011年的日本3·11地震过去9年了, 但却是中国肺炎肆虐的一年。 到我现在写这篇的时间里,新型冠状病毒导致的肺炎已经遍布中国34个省区,共确诊11889例确诊病例,17988例疑似病例,259例死亡,266例治愈。其中仅湖北一...
评分一句日本谚语说:不幸可能成为通向幸福的桥梁。 我想那是因为他们没有经历过大川小学家长的处境。 《巨浪下的小学》讲述的是2011年3月11日日本发生的9.0级特大地震,之后引发了巨大海啸,并且造成严重的核泄漏,这本书主要围绕着海啸灾难展开,在自然灾害中,学校本应该是最安...
