内容简介 Book Description
When World War Two broke out, Aharon Appelfeld was seven years old, the child of an assimilated, middle-class Jewish family in Czernowiz. After losing his mother, murdered early on in the Nazi occupation, and then his father; and after enduring the ghetto and the two-month forced march to the camp, the ten-year-old Aharon escapes and survives, miraculously, in the fields and the forests of the Ukraine for over two years, subsisting on fruits and berries, and sleeping with cows and sheep for warmth.

Appelfeld's account of these years and of those which follow - recalling the long journey south at the end of the war, to Italy and then to Israel, where he has to remake a life from nothing - is unique and extraordinary. Bearing witness to the unfathomable, in sentences of subtle power and grace. Appelfeld's The Story of a Life is a passionate reminiscene of coming of age in a hostile world - all the more remarkable for being the culmination of one man's life and work.

Aharon Appelfeld has lived in Israel since 1946. He has written many highly acclaimed works of fiction, including Badenheim 1939 (Penguin Modern Classics) and Katerina.

作者简介 Aharon Appelfeld has lived in Israel since 1946. His first published novel, Smoke, appeared in 1962, after he had taught himself to write in Hebrew. Since then he has written many highly acclaimed works of fiction, including Badenheim 1939 (Penguin Modern Classics) and Katerina, as well as the lectures Beyond Despair, all in some way inspired by his experience as 'an emigre, a refugee,a man who carries within him the child of war'. The Story of a Life, from which those last words are taken, is, amongst many other things, a heartfelt account of Appelfeld's writing life, the loss of his first language, the inhibitions of speech and his position in the postwar Israeli writing scene.
