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.

评分几乎从头到尾都在流泪 这是今年读过最难过的一本书了
评分“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.”
在这本书之前刚好看了《日本人为何选择了战争》,一本剖析日本近百年战争历史的书。短短一个世纪,日本发动了五次大规模对外战争,前三次都是胜利,第四次似乎就要胜利,而最后一次则彻底战败,使日本成为了目前唯一被原子弹袭击过的国家。当我思考日本的战争史的时候,我一直...
评分2011年3月11日,地震发生约五十分钟后,黑色的海水逆流延新北上川袭来,一波接一波的巨浪吞噬了距离河口约五公里的宫城县石卷市大川小学。海啸发生时有七十八个孩子在校,其中七十四个孩子遇难,当时在校内的十一名老师中有十人不幸遇难。 图片来源:富士电视台 “大川小学孩子...
评分 评分外文名叫gosts of the tsunami 其实和这本书的主要内容更贴切点 ,不过的确阴森森的,中文名字就还不错,封面也好看。 讲述311地震海啸相关的事情。以一个受灾的学校为引子,一方面是失去孩子的家长的经历,应对亲人离世的痛苦,寻找事件的真相,讨要说法的过程。一方面记叙受...
评分2011年3月是圆圈出生的月份,我忙于跑医院和照顾新生儿,只模糊知道日本发生了很严重的地震和海啸,触发了核泄危机。我沉浸在新手妈妈的兴奋和劳累中,对于“遥远的哭声”完全没有感受,犹记得当时微博上初露端倪的“公知”们忙于普及核辐射的危害,以及讨论日本进口的三文鱼还...
