GATE, THE(ISBN=9780375727238) 英文原版 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

　　In 1971 a young French ethnologist named Francois Bizot was

taken prisoner by forces of the Khmer Rouge who kept him chained in

a jungle camp for months before releasing him. Four years later

Bizot became the intermediary between the now victorious Khmer

Rouge and the occupants of the besieged French embassy in Phnom

Penh, eventually leading a desperate convoy of foreigners to safety

across the Thai border.

Out of those ordeals comes this transfixing book. At its center

lies the relationship between Bizot and his principal captor, a man

named Douch, who is today known as the most notorious of the Khmer

Rouge’s torturers but who, for a while, was Bizot’s protector and

friend. Written with the immediacy of a great novel, unsparing in

its understanding of evil, The Gate manages to be at once

wrenching and redemptive.
