In reading of the Resistance leaders in Denmark. I came across an account of a young man named Kim Malthe-bruun, who was eventually captured and executed by the Nazis when he was only twenty-one years old. I read his story as I had read many others turning the pages, skimming here and there: this sabotage, that tactic, this capture, that escape. After a while even courage becomes routine to the reader.
Then, quite unprepared, I turned the page and faced a photograph of Kim Malthe-bruun. He wore a turtleneck sweater, and his thick, light hair was windblown. His eyes looked out at me, unwavering on the page.

"The boy looked right at the soldier,and he said,‘All of Denmark is his bodyguard.'"

短评放不下。放到书评。 我还以为和book thief一样,和The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas一样,是小朋友口吻的有关纳粹、犹太人、救赎的故事。 听之前没有看任何book review,还以为是很长的一本小说。结果,一个人在夏雨傍晚的房子里用1.25倍数听了大概2小时就结束了,这时才发...

看过许多类似的书,不过这本书面向孩子写的,所以读起来不会那么严肃、压抑。但还是能让孩子们明白,拥有不被侵犯的尊严是极为重要的。

(儿童文学里)难得地能透过翻译想象出原文文笔之秀的作品。喜欢每次心跳之后的幽静街道与温暖被窝,喜欢穿越森林时与小红帽的紧张相遇。
