我的左脚 – My Left Foot by Christy Brown

《我的左脚》是爱尔兰传奇作家兼画家克里斯蒂•布朗的自传体小说。克里斯蒂•布朗,爱尔兰一个泥瓦匠家庭的22个孩子之一,患有先天性脑瘫,四肢无法正常活动,也不能口齿清晰地讲话。五岁那年,布朗用左脚奇迹般地写下了人生第一个字母和单词。随着年龄一点点长大,布朗开始明白自己将永远被禁锢在这具残疾的身体里,也开始注意到旁人异样的目光,他甚至想过自杀……是母亲博大的爱和耐心给了他与命运抗争的勇气。凭着毅力,他用神奇的左脚开启了与世界沟通的大门,也为这个世界留下了许多令人惊叹的画作和文学作品。

1981年布朗去世后,《我的左脚》被搬上银幕,由丹尼尔•戴-刘易斯主演。他不向命运屈服的故事由此轰动世界,《我的左脚》一书也像《假如给我三天光明》《爱的教育》一样,成为感动并鼓舞着世界上千千万万人的励志经典。该电影获奥斯卡最佳影片提名,丹尼尔•戴-刘易斯也凭借本片获得奥斯卡最佳男主角奖。

Christy Brown was born a victim of cerebral palsy. But the hapless, lolling baby concealed the brilliantly imaginative and sensitive mind of a writer who would take his place among the giants of Irish literature.

This is Christy Brown’s own story. He recounts his childhood struggle to learn to read, write, paint and finally type, with the toe of his left foot. In this manner he wrote his bestseller Down all the Days.

Christy Brown’s mother discovers that her son is a different child about whom the doctors thought he would not live long since he was born with cerebral palsy and, as a result of this, he would have mental retardation. Her mother does everything for his son, without caring what the doctors say and without losing her hope. Being aware of this, Christy Brown continues his life, observing his environment for a while without being able to move his body. One day while he was watching his sister doing her homework with a piece of chalk, he picked up the piece of chalk with his foot on a sudden impulse and started to draw something. This shocks everyone including his mother and his mother sees the hope in him again. Then, her mother decides to teach him the alphabet and Christy Brown draws the letter A with his foot for the first time.

In the next chapter, it is told that Christy Brown learns the entire alphabet using his left foot and with the help of his mother. Drawing things with his left foot and learning is a new start in his life. Christy Brown wants more of this, and beyond the alphabet, starts to learn the words. He calls his mother first and shows to her his first word he wrote. This word is ‘MOTHER’.
