內容簡介

  (全英文書)1906出生宗教靈魂人物迪特里希‧潘霍華(Dietrich Bonhoeffer)對當時教廷的章程大失所望;所以他從此遊走在牧師和間諜身分之間的傳奇故事。

  ◎ 本書含蓋了傳記宗教和歷史;特別是政治和軍事。

  ◎ 反抗纳粹黨德籍牧師迪特里希‧潘霍華(Dietrich Bonhoeffer)和當時貴族女性代表露絲‧范‧克里絲(matriarch Ruth von Kleist)視迪特里希如自己兒子之間的歷史故事。

  ◎ 作者以澳洲出生的波蘭後裔的觀點,花了近六年時間考證這段歷史並反應出現今某些中外人士外對於歷史、社會、宗教、政治等等理念的「不平衡點」。

  In memory of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ruth von Kleist-Retzow and their kin, who dared to uphold everything that was decent in a world of indecency and injustice.

  A compelling German historical biography of faith, framed by religious, political and military conflict, set in the twin cataclysmic backdrop of both world wars, as seen from a fresh Polish perspective. The narrative is enriched with a wide array of compelling and heroic personal stories, including of many extraordinary women, such as the Junker matriarch Ruth von Kleist and her children, in defiance of multiple manifestations of tyranny. The central figure, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, of whom Ruth came to regard like a son, becomes disenchanted with the State Church’s appeasement of the National Socialist agenda, and transitions into a double life as pastor and spy. As the tension builds to the tragic climax, one can draw disturbing parallels with the modern-day subversion of all faiths, Western and traditional, and all other manner of human rights abuses in Xi Jinping’s People’s Republic of China, with tacit approval it seems, from the Vatican in Rome. Moreover, eerie parallels from the death throes of Weimar Germany for America in 2020-21.

作者簡介

Vince Barwinski


  born in Sydney Australia in 1962, taught English in Taiwan in 2003 and Poland, the land of his paternal ancestors from September 2004 to June 2005. In Taiwan he met his future wife, whom he married on his return to Australia from Poland in October 2005. However, it was in Poland, in February 2005 that he came upon his inspiration for this book. Namely the bronze cross memorial to the German anti-Nazi Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the modern-day Polish city of Wrocław – pre-WWII German Breslau and birthplace of Dietrich in February 1906. It was the dual history of this city and his amateur passion for history, fostered by his father, in particular, WWII history of Europe, that inspired him to write of Dietrich Bonhoeffer from a hitherto, unique Polish perspective, with lessons of history still relevant in today’s world. Not the least of which being, the religious oppression and subversion in Xi Jinping’s China, and the rise of the radical left in America in 2020-21, mirroring in many respects, Hitler’s Reich.

作者序

  作者Vince BARWINSKI曾在台灣教書;在台灣時他遇見他的「未來太太」。為了尋根;他曾前往德國並曾在波蘭教書。

  他對歷史;宗教的興趣深受在波蘭出生;八個月大舉家到德國的父親影響。Vince的父親並於二十幾歲時舉家移民澳洲而認識他的澳洲裔母親。

  Vince的父親出生年代與本書的靈魂人物牧師迪特里希‧潘霍華(Dietrich Bonhoeffer)年代接近。***本書封面相片迪特里希紀念碑是Vince在波蘭所看到並照相。

  生長在多元文化;他以澳洲出生的波蘭後裔觀點及近六年的研究考證。***所以本書註解有別於其他歷史書占了書籍的三分之一。

  他架構了許多動人心弦和動蕩不安關於歷史、宗教、政治和軍事的摩擦故事。書中帶出了許多傑出的人物,尤其是那時代貴族家族德國的女性代表──露絲‧范‧克里絲(matriarch Ruth von Kleist)和她孩子在專制統治的下故事。故事裡的中心人物迪特里希‧潘霍華(Dietrich Bonhoeffer);如同她的兒子般。對當時教廷的章程大失所望;所以他從此遊走在牧師和間諜身分之間。故事背景雖是迪特里希那年代的故事,但也比對並反射出帶入故事的高潮如今日的中國的習近平、美國2020的總統大選、羅馬梵蒂岡教宗、某些人及一些媒體新聞對於所有關於人權的理念偏見、傳統和現代觀念的衝擊及「默許濫用」等等。
