内容简介

Now updated with a new Epilogue and Afterword, photos of Enrique and his family, an author interview, and more, this is the definitive edition of a classic of contemporary America.

Based on the Los Angeles Times newspaper series that won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for feature writing and another for feature photography, this astonishing story puts a human face on the ongoing debate about immigration reform in the United States. Now a beloved classic, this page-turner about the power of family is a popular text in classrooms and a touchstone for communities across the country to engage in meaningful discussions about this essential American subject.
?
Enrique’s Journey recounts the unforgettable quest of a Honduran boy looking for his mother, eleven years after she is forced to leave her starving family to find work in the United States. Braving unimaginable peril, often clinging to the sides and tops of freight trains, Enrique travels through hostile worlds full of thugs, bandits, and corrupt cops. But he pushes forward, relying on his wit, courage, hope, and the kindness of strangers. As Isabel Allende writes: “This is a twenty-first-century Odyssey. If you are going to read only one nonfiction book this year, it has to be this one.”

A microcosm of the massive exodus pouring over the borders of our nations. . . . Enrique's suffering and bravery become universal, and one cannot fail to be moved by the desperation and sheer strength of spirit that guides these lonely wanderers. . . .

Enrique’s Journey?is among the best border books yet written.”—The Washington Post Book World

“An amazing tale . . . for some journalists, research means sitting at a computer and surfing Google . . . For Sonia Nazario . . . it means leaving home for months at a time to sit on top of a moving freight train running the length of Mexico, risking gangsters and bandits and the occasional tree branch that might knock her off and thrust her under the wheels. It means not eating, drinking water or going to the bathroom for 16-hour stretches-all in service to the story.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“Compelling . . . Nazario doesn’t pull any punches.”—Dallas Morning News

“[A] searing report from the immigration frontlines . . . as harrowing as it is heartbreaking. . . . [Nazario] is a fearless reporter who traveled hundreds of miles atop freight trains in order to palpably re-create the danger that faces young migrants as they flee north.”—People (four stars)

“This portrait of poverty and family ties has the potential to reshape American conversations about immigration.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“A meticulously documented account of an epic journey, one undertaken by thousands of children every year . . .

?
“Enrique’s Journey?is an empathetic glimpse into the Faustian bargain made by immigrants who leave family behind for a bet on the rewards of life in the North. Sonia Nazario’s brave reporting focuses particularly on a consequence of one woman’s departure from Central America: the horrific gauntlet suffered by her son as he traverses Mexico, often in the company of similar children, all of them in search of their parents.”—Ted Conover

“Here is an account of a boy’s childhood and youth that becomes a powerfully instructive summons to us readers, who grow into Enrique’s grateful, spellbound students. His life, his vivid search, teach a haunting lesson of suffering that turns into a kind of redemption.”—Robert Coles

“Enrique's Journey?is an important, compelling, harrowing tale, one which will long stay with you. We should all be grateful that Sonia Nazario went to such extraordinary lengths to bring us this story. This is reportage at its finest, both courageous and passionate.”—Alex Kotlowitz

The story of a boy’s brave and harrowing search for the mother who loved him but left is the most telling, moving, and unsparing account I have ever read about those who struggle and sacrifice to give their families better lives, and the loneliness and regret that no success can ever fully put to rest. It is a great American—I emphasize that—story, beautifully reported.”—Scott Simon

“Gripping, heroic and important,?Enrique's Journey?captures the heart. Most Americans or their forebears came to the United States from other countries. They experienced difficult journeys and wrenching family separations-all in the hope of finding a better life in this new land. Enrique's story is our story, beautifully told.”—Edward James Olmos,

穿越巴伐利亚的童年回响：一本关于记忆、失落与重生的德语文学经典 《布拉格的幽灵列车》 作者：汉斯·格雷戈尔·冯·克莱斯特 (Hans Gregor von Kleist) 译者：李 薇 --- 书籍简介： 《布拉格的幽灵列车》并非一部简单的成长小说，它是一部沉浸式的、对二战后德国社会深层创伤的细腻剖析。故事的主人公，尤金·施密特，在战后重建的瓦砾堆中度过了他那段模糊不清的童年。他居住在慕尼黑郊区一栋摇摇欲坠的战前公寓里，周围充斥着混凝土的灰尘、压抑的沉默，以及成年人那些从未被说出口的秘密。 尤金的父亲，一位曾经在帝国铁路体系中担任要职的工程师，在战争结束后迅速陷入了精神的荒芜。他终日沉浸在对“秩序”和“效率”的病态迷恋中，将自己封闭在地下室的工具间里，对着生锈的零件喃喃自语，仿佛试图通过修理那些被战争摧毁的机器，来重构他破碎的世界观。这种沉默和抽离，像一种无形的瘟疫，蔓延到了整个家庭。 小说的主线围绕着一条虚构的、贯穿布拉格与慕尼黑的神秘铁路线展开。这条“幽灵列车”并非真实存在于地图上，它存在于尤金的梦境、他母亲的低语，以及他从祖母那里听来的那些关于“失落之物”的传说中。祖母，一位坚韧而又充满宿命感的巴伐利亚老妇人，是家族记忆的唯一守护者。她向尤金描述着战前那些辉煌的德奥帝国时期的生活，那些在轰炸中被夷为平地的华丽车站，以及那些被驱散或流亡的亲人们。她总是在黄昏时分，拉着尤金的手，走到堆满碎砖的铁轨边，指着东方说：“孩子，火车会回来的。但不是所有的人都能搭上它。” 对“记忆”的解构与重构 克莱斯特以其标志性的、冷峻而富有诗意的笔触，探讨了“集体遗忘”与“个人记忆”之间的张力。在战后的西德，社会急于向前看，将那些不光彩的过去深深掩埋，建立起一种虚假的“经济奇迹”叙事。然而，尤金的家庭却是这种集体否认的活生生反例。 尤金的童年被悬置在两个截然不同的时间维度中：一方面是战后的贫瘠和对未来的焦虑；另一方面则是祖母口中那个逝去的、宏大而又充满悲剧色彩的“黄金时代”。他必须在这些相互矛盾的叙事中，为自己寻找一个立足点。他开始痴迷于收集旧车票、破损的铁路时刻表碎片，以及任何与“旅行”和“远方”有关的物品。这些物件，对他而言，是抵抗家庭内部精神停滞的唯一武器。 随着尤金的长大，他对那条“幽灵列车”的追寻变得愈发执着。他坚信，如果他能找到这条线路的起点或终点，也许就能找到父亲失落的灵魂，或者解开母亲沉默的原因。他开始夜潜废弃的铁路货场，试图通过那些生锈的信号灯和布满苔藓的枕木，去解码前辈们留下的未尽之语。 空间叙事与象征主义 小说对环境的描绘达到了近乎偏执的程度。慕尼黑的战后重建不仅仅是背景，它本身就是一种心理状态的投射。克莱斯特将城市描绘成一个巨大的、未愈合的伤口：新生的水泥结构试图覆盖旧日的伤痕，但每当雨水冲刷，历史的印记就会再次浮现。 布拉格，作为故事中的一个重要精神坐标，代表着一种“对岸”的诱惑——那里是故土的延伸，是尚未完全被清洗的文化记忆的避难所。尤金通过阅读卡夫卡和波德莱尔的著作，试图在布拉格的迷宫般的意象中，找到通往他自己内心迷宫的钥匙。 人物群像的深度挖掘 除了尤金和他的家庭成员，小说还塑造了一系列令人难忘的配角，他们共同构成了战后德国社会生态的微缩景观： 莉泽尔（Liesel）： 尤金在学校里遇到的一个略显叛逆的女孩。她对一切官方宣传都抱有强烈的怀疑，她的父亲曾是抵抗运动的边缘人物，因此她对“道德正确性”的构建嗤之以鼻。莉泽尔是尤金在寻找真相过程中最早的盟友，她教会了尤金如何质疑和打破沉默的界限。 “信号工”奥托（Otto the Signalman）： 一位退役的铁路信号员，他住在远离城市的旧信号塔里。奥托沉迷于记录他自己绘制的“非官方时间表”，上面标记的都是那些被战争和政治清洗掉的、关于人性的瞬间。他是尤金通往家族历史的引路人，用晦涩的德语俚语和铁路术语，向尤金传授关于“停顿”与“通行”的哲学。 高潮与结局的留白 小说的后半部分，尤金终于收集到了足够的碎片，他意识到“幽灵列车”的终极意义并非地理上的抵达，而是一种精神上的和解。在一次暴风雨夜，他没有在布拉格找到他想象中的终点站，反而在回程的火车上，他偶然在一位年迈的乘客的旧皮箱里，发现了一张模糊的、关于他父亲年轻时在布拉格担任技术顾问的照片。 照片背后，父亲用德文潦草地写着一行字：“并非所有列车都能按时到达，有些，必须在等待中完成修复。” 尤金终于明白，他追寻的不是一趟物理意义上的列车，而是父亲内心那段停滞不前的旅程。他回到了家，发现父亲依然在地下室，但这一次，他没有带着质问或哀求，而是带着他收集的那些关于铁轨、信号和时刻表的残片。 小说在一种充满希望的、但又刻意保持距离的氛围中结束。尤金没有“治愈”他的家庭，但他学会了与那些无法言说的创伤共存。他拿起工具，第一次不是为了修理旧物，而是为了自己组装一个微缩模型——一列他自己想象中的、永远不会脱轨的火车。这本书是对那些在历史阴影下，试图用自己的方式重建意义的一代人的致敬。它探讨了语言的局限性，以及沉默如何在家庭中形成世代相传的“隐形遗产”。 《布拉格的幽灵列车》是一部关于德意志灵魂在废墟上重新定位的文学史诗，它邀请读者进入一个关于遗失与坚韧的，深邃而感性的世界。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本书带给我的情感冲击是深远而持久的，它不是那种看完就忘的娱乐读物，而是会渗入你的灵魂，让你在很多个平静的瞬间，依然能感受到那种前行路上的风霜雨雪。其中关于“希望”的主题探讨，尤为打动我。希望在这里不是一个空泛的口号，而是一种近乎生理需求的支撑，是主角每一次决定继续走下去的微弱火花。作者描绘的希望是脆弱的、时常被现实打磨得黯淡无光，但却从未彻底熄灭。正是这种对希望的坚韧描摹，使得整个故事充满了光芒，即便是在最黑暗的时刻，读者也能从中汲取到某种对抗命运的勇气。我尤其欣赏作者对主角成长弧线的处理，他并非一蹴而就的英雄，而是在不断的试错、受伤和自我重建中，缓慢而真实地蜕变。这种不完美却无比真实的人物塑造，才是这本书能够跨越文化和年龄界限，引发广泛共鸣的根本原因所在。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本作品在语言的运用上展现出一种近乎古典的沉稳与力量，它没有过多花哨的辞藻堆砌，却能用最朴实的文字，构建起一个宏大而又充满烟火气的世界。我尤其被其中对于环境描写的笔触所折服，那些关于路途上景物的侧写，不仅仅是简单的背景交代，更像是主角心境的外化，每一片落叶，每一道街景，都似乎携带着某种预示或情感的重量。文字的密度把握得恰到好处，既有大段的内心独白来深化主题，也有精炼的对话来推动情节，节奏感掌握得炉火纯青。阅读过程中，我时常会停下来，回味某些段落的措辞，它们如同打磨过的石头，棱角分明，却又触感温润。这本书的魅力在于，它要求读者主动参与到意义的构建中去，它不会把所有东西都摆在明面上，而是通过意象和隐喻，引导我们去探索更深层次的人文关怀。这种需要读者付出思考的阅读体验，是如今许多快餐式作品所不具备的宝贵品质，让人在合上书页后，仍能久久回味其中蕴含的哲思。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本书的叙事节奏真是让人欲罢不能，仿佛作者手里握着一根看不见的丝线，牵引着读者的心绪，随着故事情节的跌宕起伏而紧张或放松。从一开始，那种深入骨髓的无助感和对未知的恐惧就紧紧抓住了我，那种为了生存而不得不踏上的旅途，充满了太多不确定性，每一个细节的描摹都显得如此真实可感，让人不得不屏息凝神，生怕错过任何一个转折点。特别是当主角面临那些常人难以想象的困境时，那种内心的挣扎和外在的压力交织在一起，形成了一种强大的张力。我特别欣赏作者在描绘人物内心世界时的细腻，那些细微的情感波动，那些夜深人静时的自我对话，都被刻画得入木三分，让这个虚构的人物仿佛就活在我的身边，他的每一次喘息，每一次犹豫，我都感同身受。这种沉浸式的阅读体验，让我几乎忘记了自己身处何方，完全沉浸在了那个充满挑战与希望的世界里。全书的结构设计也非常巧妙，前后呼应，伏笔的设置更是高明，读到最后揭示真相的那一刻，所有的疑团烟消云散，只留下对人物命运的深深感慨和对人性复杂性的深刻理解。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

从社会学的角度来看，这本书无疑提供了一个观察特定群体生存状态的绝佳窗口。作者以一种近乎人类学的细致，记录了主角在穿越不同社会阶层和文化背景时所遇到的种种现象。那些关于信任与背叛，关于接纳与排斥的描写，尖锐地揭示了在极端压力下，人性最原始的反应机制。我特别关注到书中对不同人物群像的刻画，他们或许只是昙花一现的过客，但每一个都承载着各自的社会标签和生活逻辑，共同编织了一张复杂的人际网络。这种多维度的观察，使得故事不仅仅停留在个人冒险的层面，而是上升到了对社会结构和边缘群体困境的深刻反思。书中的某些场景，让我不禁联想到现实生活中的一些报道，那种无力感和对制度性障碍的控诉，通过艺术化的手法得以完美呈现，既保持了故事的艺术感染力，又具备了强大的现实批判力量。作者的勇气值得称赞，他没有回避那些令人不适的真相，而是将其作为故事不可或缺的一部分，促使我们思考“家园”的真正含义。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这本书的结构布局简直是一门艺术，它巧妙地利用了回忆与现实的交织手法，让读者在追随主角当前旅程的同时，也能不断拼凑出他过去经历的全貌。这种非线性的叙事，非但没有造成阅读上的混乱，反而如同一个精密的万花筒，每一次视角的转换，都为我们展现出不同层次的画面和更立体的理解。我特别喜欢作者在关键转折点插入的那些闪回片段，它们往往是解开当前谜团的钥匙，同时也解释了主角某些看似冲动的决定的深层动因。这种“铺垫—爆发—回溯—升华”的循环往复，使得全书的张力始终保持在一个高水准线上。读到后半部分，你会发现那些看似无关紧要的前期细节，都像埋下的种子一样，在特定的时刻破土而出，令人拍案叫绝。这种对时间和记忆的驾驭能力，彰显了作者深厚的文学功底，让读者在享受故事本身的同时，也得到了一次智力上的愉悦体验。
