　　Grade 6-9?For Nhamo, an 11-year-old Shona girl living in Mozambique in 1981, life is filled with the traditions of her village people. When family circumstances, a ngozi (angry spirit), and a cholera epidemic force her into a horrible marriage, she flees with only her grandmother's blessings, some gold nuggets, and many survival skills. Still, what should have been a two-day boat trip across the border to her father's family in Zimbabwe spans a year. Daily conversations with spirits help to combat her loneliness and provide her with sage and practical advice. The most incredible leg of her journey is spent on an island where Nhamo closely observes and is warily accepted by a baboon family only to have one of them destroy her shelter and food supply. She makes mistakes, loses heart, and nearly dies of starvation. Even after she arrives in Zimbabwe where she lives with scientists before meeting her father's family, Nhamo must learn to survive in civilization and exorcise the demons that haunt her. A cast of characters, glossary, background information on South Africa and the Shona, and a bibliography ground this novel's details and culture. This story is humorous and heartwrenching, complex and multilayered, and the fortunate child who reads it will place Nhamo alongside Zia (Island of the Dolphins) and Julie (Julie of the Wolves). An engrossing and memorable saga.?Susan Pine, New York Public Library

　　Eleven-year-old Nhamo invites young listeners to share her adventures in the wilds of Africa as she flees from her village and a planned marriage to a cruel stranger. Along the way, as Nhamo blossoms into a self-assured young woman, listeners grow with her as they gain a new perspective on the rich cultural diversity present in this world. Narrator Lisette Lecat entices audio-travelers to accompany Nhamo on her journey in a masterful reading. Her English accent and easy characterization make the cross-cultural experience even more compelling. Through Lecat's delightful narration, this newest book by a Newbery Award-winning author will not only entertain listeners, but encourage them to value cultural differences. P.H.N.

　　Gr. 6

　　-10. Farmer returns to Mozambique and Zimbabwe for a thick and twisting tale that follows Nhamo, a modern-day Shona girl who flees her village rather than marry a cruel man to placate an avenging spirit. Spirits are master players in this story, and to Nhamo they mean life or death. She holds frequent conversations with her dead mother, whom she visualizes by means of a torn-out magazine advertisement; and her treacherous escape by boat to Zimbabwe, where her father's family lives, is peppered with visits from water spirits, as well as the spirit of the dead man who owned her craft. Farmer marvelously evokes the narrow but hopeful atmosphere of Nhamo's existence--her pariah status in the village, her constant struggle for survival in the wilderness, and her initial difficulty in adjusting to a westernized society. Nhamo's relationships with her grandmother and cousin ring true, as do the occasionally humorous stories she tells herself in times of despair. However, the pacing of the complex story line is uneven, and many readers will be unnerved by the overflow of foreign words, which are sometimes explained in footnotes that could seem interruptive. These shortcomings, unfortunately, may limit the audience for an otherwise strong showing. Cast of characters; glossary; appendixes; bibliography.

　　From Kirkus Reviews

　　Farmer (Runnery Granary, p. 300, etc.) plunges readers deep into South African social and spiritual worlds in this tale of a Shona girl fleeing an arranged marriage. When the muvuki, the witchfinder, declares that Nhamo must marry an unsavory stranger to propitiate a murder victim's spirit, Nhamo gathers her few possessions and steals away in the village's only boat, intending to float up the Musengezi to Zimbabwe and find the father she's never known. It's a perilous journey that tests every ounce of her strength, will, and ingenuity: She has to find food in seasons fat and lean, cope with loneliness, face threats from everything from (elusive, perhaps metaphysical) leopards to land mines. Gathering discorporate (imaginary? not to her) companions as she goes, Nhamo lives in and off the wild for months, ending up at last, after finding her father's grave and enduring a cold reception from his family, with the congenial scientists at a tsetse fly research station. Although Farmer describes the history and culture of the Shona and other groups in an afterword, she hardly needs to; the cultural backdrop is so skillfully developed in her protagonist's experiences and responses that it will seem as understandable--or, in the case of European and Christian practices, as strange--and immediate to readers as it is to Nhamo. This wonderfully resourceful young woman is surrounded by an equally lively, colorful cast, and by removing many of the borders between human and animal, living and dead, Farmer creates a milieu as vivid and credible as readers' own. As rewarding, and as challenging, as The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm (1994). (glossary, appendix, bibliography) (Fiction. 11-14) -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP.

  在高公馆一个关住的狭小空间和并不长的时间跨度里，家族的发展与时代发展同频，所有人都随波逐流，反抗只是选择放弃。这种压抑无聊的日常承载了称为激流的情感，然而把情感压抑起来是家族特色，也是国民性格，最终都随大流去。值得一提是三本书呈现了明显不同的精神面貌，可能是作者自己心境的变化，在同样人物载体系列作品里很优秀。

  百年前的东非，殖民背景下，奴隶贸易的尾声，穆斯林少年的成长。文笔很优美，写得比较残酷，背景若隐若现，宗教吃重，但是说到底，仍然是人性的本色。

• 恺撒——时代的奴隶

  作者：叫他以实玛利 发布时间：2023-03-16 13:30:22

  公众号：小诸派报告

  受顾衡专栏《罗马共和国》单元中对于罗马共和制度的论述启迪，跟着推荐读了《凯撒：罗马巨人》这本书。

  罗马共和制度是一种贵族领导的元老院与平民之间的权力分享机制。这种制度前期可以靠双方的道德水准维持，但随着罗马共和国的疆域扩大，元老院对土地的兼并和财富的垄断加剧，平民与元老院之间的矛盾不断扩大。长期大规模的战争强化了军事统帅的权力，元老院逐渐被军事统帅和其豢养的军队架空。

  苏拉一度靠一己之力挽救了濒临崩溃的罗马共和国，但由于其个人性格和历史局限等原因，他未能完成后半段共和制度的重建就退出政坛。于是罗马共和国再次陷入内忧外患，元老院为了维护自己的权力，试图扶植多位军事强人达到驱虎吞狼的效果，结果却是引狼入室。元老院逐渐成为了军权的附庸。就这样，罗马共和国晚期的权力完全被几大军阀及其家族垄断。

  本书的主角是恺撒，但这位“巨人”并不算是那么光明伟大。他出身并非平民，在政途上也多受益于其妻子和联姻的家族。恺撒本身在私生活上也多有败笔，许多次化险为夷也都有强运的成分。虽然恺撒本人也有强于军队运营，关键时杀伐果断，非必要时心怀仁慈等优点。但这些优点其他的“三巨头”也未尝没有。而且凯撒本人撰写过诸如《高卢战记》等回忆录式的文学作品，本人也擅长煽动造势，因此，书中一些对于恺撒其人的溢美之词多少令人怀疑，倒是恺撒身上的人格缺陷和性情之事更显真实。

  比起恺撒本人的事迹，书中借罗马共和国晚期内战引出的政治学讨论反而更值得深思。书中多次描述到军事强人在罗马共和制度下被掣肘的案例，说明共和制度确实能一定程度上压制独裁者的发挥。然而以西塞罗为首的共和派虽然招数频出，其结果却不仅不能拯救罗马共和国，反而让罗马因为失去中央权力而陷入暴民混乱，最终内战果实被更为独裁与专横的屋大维篡夺。类似的场景，在后世各国历史中也并不少见。

  如书中所引用的一句西塞罗的名言：“我们都是他的奴隶，但他也是时代的奴隶。”恺撒与其说是一位巨人，不如说是一位身材高大，却背负着罗马共和废墟的巨型奴隶。他的行为与作风不是“独裁”，也不是“共和”，而是“务实”——一种在历史转折的零和博弈中被迫锤炼出的生存哲学。**斗争与阴谋增长了他的野心，也吞噬了他的身影**。

  在他身后，恺撒的形象不断被再创作与再解释。以恺撒为界，一边是屋大维的“帝国独裁”，另一边是布鲁图所谓的“自由民主”，双方势同水火，都将恺撒往对方阵营推让，以强化自己的绝对正确与历史必然。可正如罗马共和国是元老院与平民共同毁灭的，权力集中与个体自由，任何一个过了头，都会导致政治与文化的灾难。回望罗马共和制度的历史，共和与自由与其说是战友，不如说是欢喜冤家。到了近现代，一对冤家莫名其妙攀上了亲戚，这也算是历史的讽刺吧？假如真的要在如今这个分裂的世界与社会找点什么共同之处，那估计就是：**我们和恺撒、西塞罗，以及一切历史上站在不同立场纷纷扰扰的大人物与小市民一样，都只是各自时代的奴隶罢了**。

• 一个神话的破灭——读《何新论金融危机与中国经济》

  作者：李不会 发布时间：2008-11-19 13:32:12

          中国经济发展必须遵循西方经济学所提供的市场发展模式，曾几何时，被众多的中国经济学家奉为圭臬，哈耶克、凯恩斯、科斯以及弗里德曼等人，所提出的即使在西方国家也存在着大量争议的经济学理论，在一片“崇洋媚外”的高呼声中，被迅速地推上了仅次于“上帝”的宝座。遗憾的是，在美国次贷危机所引发的全球金融危机面前，这个神话正在破灭。

          西方经济学思潮的中心思想就是全面推进自由市场化经济，主张由市场来进行资源配置，进而否定政府在经济发展中的调节作用。在这种思想的主导之下，20世纪90年代中期，中国的大中型国有企业开始了所有制的改革。股份化、私有化、市场化成为国有企业改革的基本方针，其结果是国家财政收入急剧下降，对企业和经济发展的控制能力越来越低，从而加剧社会财富的分配两极分化，出现了大量的下岗和失业工人，社会矛盾日益加剧。

          对于上述现象，那些在财富重新分配过程中获得了既得利益的经济学新贵们，曾经大言不惭地解释为，这是改革必要的阵痛。当他们沾沾自喜地享受着所谓的“改革成果”时，无数的城市家庭正在跌入贫困线以下的生活；大量的农民抛弃了世代赖以生存的土地，成为城市的边缘人口，进一步加剧着城乡矛盾。西方经济学理论的错误引导，早已把中国经济和社会的发展引向了一个错误的道路。

          错误的指导思想，必然导致发展所必须承受的巨大代价，遗憾的是，20世纪90年代的房地产降温、1997年的亚洲金融危机、“知识经济”虚假模式所引发的股市泡沫，并没有引起中国人足够的重视，使得改革的成本随着发展不断加大。更为可悲的是，对这种经济学理论的真正批判和反思，却是在美国次贷危机引发的全球金融危机出现之后。一向被众多经济学家视为楷模的美国经济，终于因为它的狂妄和自大而不得不面临破产的危机。正所谓是“皮之不附，毛之将焉”。经济学家们可以就此闭上自己那张不负责任的嘴，可留下的沉重包袱将由谁来承担呢？

          在危机面前，美国政府也没有奉行它一向主张的自由市场经济，伴随着几大金融机构的破产，美国政府不得不拿出几千亿美元扮演起拯救的角色，可见，市场并不是万能的，资本主义自由经济也不是万能的。

  何新先生作为一个长期被所谓“主流经济学派”排斥在舆论边缘的学者，始终没有忘记一个真正知识分子所肩负的使命，不甘寂寞地寻找着真正属于中国的发展道路。可悲的是这种独立于西方思潮之外的真知灼见，直到危机的出现，才引起相关人士的注意；可幸的是，中国知识分子的良心并没有受利益的驱动完全泯灭，或许将唤起更多的人进行反思和思考。
