Hiroshima Notes is a powerful statement on the Hiroshima bombing and its terrible legacy by the 1994 Nobel laureate for literature. Oe's account of the lives of the many victims of Hiroshima and the valiant efforts of those who cared for them, both immediately after the atomic blast and in the years that follow, reveals the horrific extent of the devastation. It is a heartrending portrait of a ravaged city -- the "human face" in the midst of nuclear destruction.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author John Hersey's seminal work of narrative nonfiction which has defined the way we think about nuclear warfare. “One of the great classics of the war" (The New Republic) that tells what happened in Hiroshima during World War II through the memories of the survivors of the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city. "The perspective [Hiroshima] offers from the bomb’s actual victims is the mandatory counterpart to any Oppenheimer viewing." —GQ Magazine “Nothing can be said about this book that can equal what the book has to say. It speaks for itself, and in an unforgettable way, for humanity.” —The New York Times Hiroshima is the story of six human beings who lived through the greatest single manmade disaster in history. John Hersey tells what these six -- a clerk, a widowed seamstress, a physician, a Methodist minister, a young surgeon, and a German Catholic priest -- were doing at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city. Then he follows the course of their lives hour by hour, day by day. The New Yorker of August 31, 1946, devoted all its space to this story. The immediate repercussions were vast: newspapers here and abroad reprinted it; during evening half-hours it was read over the network of the American Broadcasting Company; leading editorials were devoted to it in uncounted newspapers. Almost four decades after the original publication of this celebrated book John Hersey went back to Hiroshima in search of the people whose stories he had told. His account of what he discovered about them -- the variety of ways in which they responded to the past and went on with their lives -- is now the eloquent and moving final chapter of Hiroshima.

En août 1963, Kenzaburô Ôé, alors brillant écrivain de vingt-huit ans, part à Hiroshima faire un reportage sur la neuvième Conférence mondiale contre les armes nucléaires. Indifférent à la politique politicienne, il est immédiatement sensible aux témoignages des oubliés du 6 août 1945, écartelés entre le "devoir de mémoire" et le "droit de se taire" : vieillards condamnés à la solitude, femmes défigurées, responsables de la presse locale et, surtout, médecins luttant contre le syndrome des atomisés, dont la rencontre allait bouleverser son œuvre et sa vie. Dans leur héroïsme quotidien, leur refus de succomber à la tentation du suicide, Ôé voit l'image même de la dignité. Quel sens donner à une vie détruite ? Qu'avons-nous retenu de la catastrophe nucléaire ? "À moins d'adopter l'attitude de celui qui ne veut rien voir, rien dire et rien entendre, demande-t-il, qui d'entre nous pourra donc en finir avec cette part de Hiroshima que nous portons en nous-mêmes ?" À aucune de ces questions, toujours d'actualité, Ôé n'apporte de réponse. Il s'interroge, nous interroge. Ainsi confère-t-il à son reportage la dimension d'un traité d'humanisme d'une portée universelle.

«Un racconto riflessivo e accurato, capace di essere contemporaneamente fonte di dolore e di ispirazione.» The New Yorker «Queste note ci permettono di ascoltare la voce dei sopravvissuti e la vivida testimonianza del loro impegno antinucleare.» The New York Times Book Review Alle 8:15 del 6 agosto 1945, un aereo statunitense sgancia un ordigno nucleare sulla città di Hiroshima, e dal quel momento il mondo cambia per sempre. In questo commovente ricordo, Kenzaburō Ōe racconta delle tante vittime – giovani, anziani, donne e bambini – causate da quell’esplosione, ma anche dei valorosi sforzi compiuti in quei terribili momenti, e negli anni a venire, dai medici e dai sopravvissuti. Nelle parole del più importante scrittore giapponese contemporaneo, si denuncia con forza l’enormità della devastazione compiuta, ma contemporaneamente prende vita il ritratto dolce e sensibile della gente di quella città distrutta. E, attraverso le testimonianze raccolte, nasce dalle pagine di questo libro un accorato e fermo atto d’accusa contro il proliferare delle politiche nucleari, e contro ogni tipo di violenza.

"I'll search you out, put my lips to your tender ear, and tell you. . . . I'll tell you the real story--I swear I will."--from Little One by Toge Sankichi Three Japanese authors of note--Hara Tamiki, Ota Yoko, and Toge Sankichi--survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima only to shoulder an appalling burden: bearing witness to ultimate horror. Between 1945 and 1952, in prose and in poetry, they published the premier first-person accounts of the atomic holocaust. Forty-five years have passed since August 6, 1945, yet this volume contains the first complete English translation of Hara's Summer Flowers, the first English translation of Ota's City of Corpses, and a new translation of Toge's Poems of the Atomic Bomb. No reader will emerge unchanged from reading these works. Different from each other in their politics, their writing, and their styles of life and death, Hara, Ota, and Toge were alike in feeling compelled to set down in writing what they experienced. Within forty-eight hours of August 6, before fleeing the city for shelter in the hills west of Hiroshima, Hara jotted down this note: "Miraculously unhurt; must be Heaven's will that I survive and report what happened." Ota recorded her own remarks to her half-sister as they walked down a street littered with corpses: "I'm looking with two sets of eyesthe eyes of a human being and the eyes of a writer." And the memorable words of Toge quoted above come from a poem addressed to a child whose father was killed in the South Pacific and whose mother died on August 6th--who would tell of that day? The works of these three authors convey as much of the "real story" as can be put into words.
