あらすじ・解説

The Award-winning International Bestselling Story of One Man's Six Year Detention in Australia

‘A powerfully vivid account of the experiences of a refugee: desperation, brutality, suffering, and all observed with an eye that seems to see everything and told in a voice that’s equal to the task.' - Phillip Pullman

In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani sought asylum in Australia but was instead illegally imprisoned in the country’s most notorious detention centre on Manus Island. This book is the result.

Boochani spent nearly five years typing passages of this book one text at a time from a secret mobile phone in prison. Compiled and translated from Farsi by Omid Tofighian, the texts form an incredible story of how escaping political persecution in Iran, he ended up trapped as a stateless person. This vivid, gripping portrait of his years of incarceration and exile shines devastating light on the fates of so many people, as borders close around the world.

No Friend but the Mountains is both a brave act of witness and a moving testament to the humanity of all people, in the most extreme of circumstances.

'A brilliant book. No Friend but the Mountains can rightly take its place on the shelf of world prison literature . . . It is a profound victory for a young poet who showed us all how much words can still matter.' - Richard Flanagan, Booker Prize winning author of The Narrow Road to the Deep North

批評家のレビュー

A chant, a cry from the heart, a lament, fuelled by a fierce urgency, written with the lyricism of a poet, the literary skills of a novelist, and the profound insights of an astute observer of human behaviour and the ruthless politics of a cruel and unjust imprisonment. (Arnold Zable, author of the award-winning Jewels and Ashes and Cafe Scheherazade)
A terrific book, extraordinary not only because of the near-impossible conditions in which it was written, but because it’s gripping, raw, honest, brutal and also deeply humane, poetic, spirited and even at times humorous. It’s a searing indictment of indefinite detention (something that still exists in the UK) and a reminder of what happens when we stop seeing migrants as human beings. (Monica Ali, author of Brick Lane)
Under atrocious conditions [Behrouz Boochani] has managed to write and publish a record of his experiences (experiences yet to be concluded), a record that will certainly leave his jailers gnashing their teeth . . . the absorbing record of a life-transforming episode whose effects on his inner self the writer is still trying to plumb. (J. M. Coetzee, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, New York Review of Books)
A powerful book of witness that recalls the work of Primo Levi, and is sustained throughout by a profoundly collaborative and stunningly imagined translation. It demonstrates in every line how poetry - and translation - can also generate philosophy. Put it on every curriculum, now. (Deborah Smith, Man Booker International Prize winning translator)
