乌荷大战前闲读《切开的血管》……

    乌荷大战前先温习一下爱德华多·加莱亚诺的《拉丁美洲:被切开的血管》,感慨万分!拥有这么了不起的知识分子的乌拉圭,一定是一个了不起的民族!当然,作 为李欧·李奥尼和房龙的故乡的荷兰,也同样很了不起……

[书摘-中文版序言]
    如果没有明确的航标,发展的航船并不能将所有人带到彼岸,遇难者将多于航行者。

    智利裔女作家Isabel Allende在英文版序言中讲述《拉丁美洲:被切开的血管》在70年代初出版时如何令自己顿悟,如何不幸地预言了后来拉丁美洲大陆上发生的种种惨剧。她 为爱德华多的眼光和勇气赞佩,也为他天才的说故事能力而惊羡,可是最打动她的还是作者的乐观主义精神,深深地激励着她……

    当Isabel Allende在1973年智利军事政变后被迫流亡海外时,除了几件随身的衣服、一本聂鲁达的《颂歌》、故乡的一抔泥土外,包里就带着这本《拉丁美洲:被 切开的血管》,这本旧书相伴了她20年……(记得多年以前犹太知识分子从德国逃亡时,许多人包里放的是房龙的《宽容》,不知换了我们会选哪一本?)

[书摘-英文版序言]

Many years ago, when I was young and still believed that the world could be shaped according to our best intentions and hopes, someone gave me a book with a yellow cover that I devoured in two days with such emotion that I had to read it again a couple more times to absorb all its meaning: Open Veins of Latin America, by Eduardo Galeano.

……

Like all his countrymen, Eduardo wanted to be a soccer player. He also wanted to be a saint, but as it turned out, he ended up committing most of the deadly sins, as he once confessed. "I have never killed anybody, it is true, but it is because I lacked the courage or the time, not because I lacked the desire,"

……

That is why I could not miss the opportunity to write this introduction and thank Eduardo Galeano publicly for his stupendous love for freedom, and for his contribution to my awareness as a writer and as a citizen of Latin America.

As he said once: "it's worthwhile to die for things without which it's not worthwhile to live."

正如他曾说过的:“为这些东西而死是值得的,假如没有了它们将不值得生存。”

阿甲记于7月6日夜


法国人走了,英国人走了,世界杯依旧;巴西人走了,阿根廷人走了,世界杯依旧;乌拉圭人输了,荷兰人赢了,世界杯依旧……只是有点欧洲杯的味道了乌荷大战前闲读《切开的血管》……乌荷大战前闲读《切开的血管》…………这就是乌荷大战前闲读《切开的血管》……

所谓国际分工,就是大家各自扮演赢家和输家的角色,有些人总演赢家,有些人总演输家。乌荷大战前闲读《切开的血管》……

7月7日晨补记
