3. The Book of Aron By Jim Shepard
吉姆·谢巴德《阿隆之书》
In the summer of 1942, German soldiers expelled almost 200 starving children from an orphanage in the Warsaw Ghetto and packed them into rail cars bound for Treblinka. Drawing on his imagination and dozens of historical sources, Shepard brings the Warsaw orphanage to life in this novel about a poor Polish boy and his friendship with the caretaker of the orphans, the pediatrician Janusz Korczak.“The Book of Aron” is a story of such candor about the complexity of heroism.
1942年的夏天,华沙贫民窟一所孤儿院将近200名饥饿孩童被德国军人赶出,集体被塞入开往特雷布林卡集中营的火车。谢巴德借助想象力,援引了大量历史素材,把华沙孤儿院描绘得活灵活现。这部小说讲述了一个可怜的波兰男孩与孤儿照看人——儿科医生贾努茨·科扎克之间的友谊。《阿隆之书》真切描绘了英雄主义的复杂性。
4. Destiny and Power By Jon Meacham
乔恩·米查姆《宿命与权力》
In Meacham’s telling, Bush indeed lacked an ideological vision, was as overmatched in domestic policy as he was masterful on the global stage, benefited from his family’s influence, and remains overshadowed “by the myth of his predecessor and the drama of his sons’ political lives.” What Meacham so skillfully adds to this understanding — through extraordinary detail, deft writing and, thanks to his access to Bush’s diaries, an inner monologue of key moments in Bush’s presidency — is the insight that none of these supposed flaws hindered the man from meeting the needs of the nation.
