劉曉波的生平與遺產

by 林培瑞(Perry Link)、吳大志(Wu Dazhi) ...

Translated by 黃中憲 ...

人權鬥士‧諾貝爾和平獎得主劉曉波生平最為出色的傳記「我無罪。歷史會對這判決做出其判決。我會上訴。」「我沒有敵人，也沒有仇恨。所有監控過我，捉捕過我、審訊過我的員警，起訴過我的檢察官，判決過我的法官，都不是我的敵人。」——劉曉波劉曉波（1955.12.28-2017.07.13），中國頭號異議人士、《零八憲章》這份民主宣言的關鍵人物之一。二○○八年十二月某個深夜，警察來到他家，將他帶走。二○○九年遭遇判刑前夕，劉曉波撰文長達五頁的〈我沒有敵人——我的最後陳述〉（二○○九年十二月二十三日），替自己所作所為做最後辯解。二○一○年劉曉波以政治犯身分獲頒諾貝爾和平獎，但無緣前去領獎，此獎於是頒給一張空椅子。在中國國內，中共政權致力於抹除他存在的一切痕跡。二○一七年死於肝癌時，甚至未獲准返家。《我沒有敵人：劉曉波的生平與遺產》被公認是最出色的劉曉波傳記，以鉅細靡遺的研究為本，講述他曲折且不凡的人生 ...

The Uses of Literature

Life in the Socialist Chinese Literary System

by Perry Link ...

The Uses of Literature looks broadly and empirically at these and many other "uses" of literature from the points of view of authors, ... Read more
