书籍简介

期待已久的伊利亚-卡明斯基的新诗集：一个非凡的诗歌寓言，问我们：什么是沉默？

《聋人共和国》是在被占领土的政治动荡时期展开的。我们不知道自己身在何处或何时，在哪个国家或在哪个冲突期间，但我们逐渐认识到，这些事件也在这里发生，就在此时。这部惊人的诗歌寓言像戏剧一样情节性地展开，其强有力的叙事由一个悲剧性的开场引发：当驱散抗议活动的士兵杀死一个聋哑男孩时，枪声成为市民们最后听到的声音--在那一刻，所有人都聋了。在这种沉默中，他们的反对意见由手语来协调。随后，故事讲述了被公共暴力包围的城镇居民的私人生活：一对新婚夫妇阿方索和索尼娅正在等待他们的孩子；大胆的加利亚妈妈在她的木偶剧院里煽动叛乱；加利亚的木偶师们白天暗中教授手语，晚上则在幕后英勇地引诱士兵一个个走向死亡。《聋人共和国》既是一个爱情故事，又是一首挽歌，还是一个迫切的请求，它直面我们这个时代的恶性暴行和我们面对这些暴行时的集体沉默。

The long-awaited new collection from Ilya Kaminsky: a remarkable parable in poems which asks us, what is silence?

Deaf Republic opens in a time of political unrest in an occupied territory. It is uncertain where we are or when, in what country or during what conflict, but we come to recognise that these events are also happening here, right now. This astonishing parable in poems unfolds episodically like a play, its powerful narrative provoked by a tragic opening scene: when soldiers breaking up a protest kill a deaf boy, the gunshot becomes the last thing the citizens hear - in that moment, all have gone deaf. Inside this silence, their dissent becomes coordinated by sign language. The story then follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence: a newly married couple, Alfonso and Sonya, expecting their child; the daring Momma Galya, instigating the insurgency from her puppet theatre; and Galya's puppeteers, covertly teaching signs by day and by night heroically luring soldiers one by one to their deaths behind the curtain. At once a love story, an elegy, and an urgent plea, Deaf Republic confronts our time's vicious atrocities and our collective silence in the face of them.
