Stories of resistance;Shades of grey 关于抵抗的故事;灰色的幽影 Beautiful Souls: Saying No, Breaking Ranks, andHeeding the Voice of Conscience in Dark Times. ByEyal Press. 美丽灵魂:说不,打破等级,留心黑暗时代中道德之音。 You have a decent job and work hard. You keepyour nose clean, respect authority and have never joined a protest march. Suddenly youhave the bad luck to face a cruel and seemingly impossible choice. Your superiors tell you todo something outrageous or unacceptable. Do you obey or, at grave personal cost,refuse? In Beautiful Souls, a subtle and thoughtful book, Eyal Press, an Americanjournalist, tells the stories of four very ordinary people who, in widely different times, placesand circumstances, surprised themselves by saying no. 你有份体面的工作并且做得很努力。你保持洁身自爱,尊重权威,从不加入抗议性游行中。突然你不幸的要面对残忍几乎表面来看不可能的选择:你的上级令你去做你粗暴不可接受的事。服从命令还是牺牲重大的个人代价去拒绝?在精细巧妙充满思想的美丽灵魂一书中,美国记者Eyal Press为您讲述一个关于四位来自不同时空不同地点不同环境的普通人在说出不之后得到的意想不到的结果。 This morally courageous foursome includes a Swiss police official who broke the law in 1938by giving entry permits to Jewish refugees; a Serb who, at risk to his own life, savedcaptured Croats from summary execution during the Serb-Croat war in 1991; an Israelispecial-forces soldier in the occupied territories who could no longer stomach orders toprotect Israeli settlers who were doing wrong, as he saw it, to Palestinian farmers; and amid-ranking whistle-blower in a Texas investment company accused of fraud. |
