Pressestimmen

"The Sorrow of War vaults over all the American fiction that came out of the Vietnam war to take its place alongside the greatest war novel of the century, All Quiet on the Western Front. And this is to understate its qualities for, unlike All Quiet, it is a novel abut much more than war. A book about writing, about lost youth, it is also a beautiful agonising love story... a magnificent achievement" (Independent )

"This hauntingly beautiful novel, written by a North Vietnamese Army veteran, manages to humanise completely a people who up until now have usually been cast as robotic fanatics" (Sunday Times )

"Unputdownable... This book should be required reading for anyone in American politics or policy-making. It should win the Pulitzer Prize, but it won't. It's too gripping for that" (Guardian )

5.0 von 5 Sternen A disturbing, shocking and haunting novel. 22. Oktober 2001

Von Ein Kunde

Format:Taschenbuch

This is a disturbing and deeply shocking novel about a vietnamese soldier whose life was completely destroyed by the war and its aftermath. Being the last survivor of his former regiment, Kien struggles to come along with his horrifying memories of the wartime. His efforts to return to his pre-war life and to warm up his old relationsship with his former sweetheart Phuong remain hopeless. Furthermore he is unable to stop these haunting nightmares although he starts writing down his terrible memories to forget them.
The reader of this book gets an ruthless look into a soldiers life in wartime. It is about murder and rape, pain and agony and the loss of countless friends and relatives.
But nevertheless this is also a book about a agonizing love story. In many of Kiens memories, which appear in the novel, his lover Phuong plays a main role. It describes their happy time in Hanoi before the war and it is simply hurting to see how they are torn apart for so many years and how their relationship fades.
This is not a book about the war but a book which describes in a very personal, intimate way, how one individual is destroyed by the war. There are quite a few, very bloody battlefield scenes, but the main part of the book is about Kien, trying to manage his life, which was dominated by the war. Throughout the whole story, permanent backviews to the times before, during and after the war interrupt Kiens dull present existence in Hanoi. So the reader takes part in Kiens ghoulish and often insane thoughts and memories, haunting him all the time.
Everyone who reads this novel will be reminded how totally insane war is. You learn what dramatic destinies are behind every single soldier and their loved ones. It is shocking to read how one existence, once happy and with great perspectives, is completely wiped out.
For people who want to know something about the war and its political backgrounds this is not the right book. But for people who want to or should know, what is behind all those stories and headlines and who want to know what it meant being a soldier, this book is a must.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Vietnam 28. Juli 2000

Von Ein Kunde

Format:Taschenbuch

One of the best books on any subject I have ever read. Like a previous reviewer I bought a copy from a poor child on the streets of Saigon out of convenience not intending to read it. What a loss that would have been. There's more than one side to every story-the perspective here is humanity.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Lost Possiblities And False Promises 3. Juni 2000

Von Eric H. Roth

Format:Taschenbuch

I bought a xeroxed copy of "The Sorrow of War" from a young street urchin in Saigon out of convenience. I didn't expect to read it - I just wanted to get to a restaurant and relax after a very humid, hot day. I planned to just dump it. But the book floored me. The disenchanted author conveys the macabre aspects of that long "American War", the pointless sacrifices of lives, and all the false promises once believed in youth. A brutal, bleak, and brilliant work. The Sorrow of War revealed the back story to what I was seeing in Saigon - North Vietnam may have won the won, but the people of Vietnam and America lost lives, limbs, and loves. "Everyone experienced difficult, painful, and different fates."
