📖 Lost Boy, Lost Girl: Escaping Civil War in Sudan

In the book "Lost Boy, Lost Girl", written by John Bul Dau, one of children who is from a Dinka tribal village, is about the perspectives of both himself and of his future wife, Martha, two lost children who are amongst the millions of children affected by the dangerous conditions of South Sudan. John, himself, is the youngest child of his mother and ventures through the dangers of Sudan, which was and still is rife with war and famine. In his journey to escape the dangers, he endures through hunger and exhaustion in the African safari whilst also encountering human brutality and violence. On the other hand, his wife, Martha, is from the larger city of Juba who, too, has had to brave the hardships of famine and civil war that was abundant throughout the young country. I would highly recommend this book because of its tale of survival of two, real people, who do not have the privileges that we have in the west. Additionally, this story of two South Sudanese children is also unique in its inclusion of the rarely discussed female perspective of the hardships of South Sudan. Therefore, I would highly recommend "Lost Boy, Lost Girl: Escaping Civil War in Sudan."

在约翰·布尔·道(John Bul Dau)所著的《迷失的男孩,迷失的女孩》中,这位来自丁卡族部落村庄的孩子,以自己和未来妻子玛莎的视角,讲述了两位"迷失的孩子"在南苏丹恶劣环境下的生存故事。他们是数百万受南苏丹危险局势影响的孩子中的一员。 约翰是母亲最小的孩子,他踏上了穿越苏丹危险之地的旅程,而那里过去与现在都充斥着战争和饥荒。为了逃离这些威胁,他在非洲草原中忍受饥饿与疲惫,并遭遇了人类的残酷与暴力。 另一方面,他的妻子玛莎来自更大的城市——朱巴。她同样经历了饥荒与内战的严峻考验,这些困境在这个年轻的国家中随处可见。 我强烈推荐这本书,因为它讲述了两位真实人物在缺乏西方世界所拥有的优越条件下的生存故事。同时,这本书也因其罕见地呈现了南苏丹女性在困境中的视角而显得独特。因此,我真心推荐大家阅读《迷失的男孩,迷失的女孩:逃离苏丹内战》。
