出版商概要
"Washington Post
""Everyone in the world should read this book. Not just because it contains an amazing story, or because it's our moral, bleeding-heart duty, or because it's clearly written. We should read it to learn about the world and about what it means to be human." "Time Magazine "
"A breathtaking and unselfpitying account of how a gentle spirit survives a childhood from which all innocence has suddenly been sucked out. It's a truly riveting memoir." ""
" "
"Newsweek.com"
"Beah is a gifted writer. . . Read his memoir and you will be haunted . . . It's a high price to pay, but it's worth it."
"People Magazine"
"Deeply moving, even uplifting Beah's story, with its clear-eyed reporting and literate particularity--whether he's dancing to rap, eating a coconut or running toward the burning village where his family is trapped--demands to be read." (Critic's Choice, Four stars) "Elle Magazine""Beah's memoir, "A Long Way Gone" (Farrar, Straus and -Giroux), is unforgettable testimony that Africa's children--millions of them dying and orphaned by preventable diseases, hundreds of thousands of them forced into battle--have eyes to see and voices to tell what has happened. And what voices! How is it possible that 26-year-old Beah, a nonnative English speaker, separated from his family at age 12, taught to maim and to kill at 13, can sound such notes of -family happiness, of friendship under duress, of quiet horror? No outsider could have written this book, and it's hard to imagine that many -insiders could do so with such acute vision, stark language, and tenderness. It is a heart-rending achievement." --Melissa Fay Greene
"Christian Science Monitor"
"When Beah is finally approached about the possibility of serving as a spokesperson on the issue of child soldiers, he knows exactly what he wants to tell the world: "I would always tell people that I believe children have the resilience to outlive their sufferings, if given a chance."

The warzone seems like a situation that can never be resolved, which makes it an even greater hell. Ishmael displays potential that is immediately recognized by the staffers of the rehabilitation center of help by UNICEF. Finally, no matter where he is, Ishmael is surrounded with love and hope for the future. Ishmael Beah underscores his central theme of freedom by using symbols in his literary work, A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier. His difficult journey out of Sierra Leone into Guinea becomes a metaphorical journey out of death and into life when he finally realizes that he cannot stay in his hometown.
