戴维·马洛夫的小说《孩子的游戏》为我们解剖了一个恐怖分子的内心世界，让我们对“恐怖主义”有了更多的了解。联系近年来层出不穷的恐怖事件和“9.11”事件，人们不难意识到：在不同文明冲突激烈的今天，现代人迷失自我，甚至企图通过恐怖活动来达到发泄不满、改变现状的目的。事实告诉我们：要给不同文明的生存留下一个宽松的环境，才能让迷失的人性得以回归。 David Maroff’s novel The Kid’s Game dissects the inner world of a terrorist for us and gives us a better understanding of “terrorism.” In connection with the endless terrorist incidents and the “September 11” incidents in recent years, it is not hard for people to realize that modern people lose themselves and even attempt to vent their anger and change their status quo through the terrorist activities today. The facts tell us: Only by leaving a relaxed environment for the survival of different civilizations can we return the lost humanity.
