《未弃之物》内容介绍
“尽管生活告诉我们，人必有一死，但总有一些我们永远没做好准备的告别。”
波兰当代作家马尔钦·维哈就面临这一难题。母亲生前总爱收集没用的小玩意儿：台灯、石头、废报纸、圆珠笔，等等，当然还有她最爱的——书。后来母亲去世，作者一边整理遗物，一边追忆往昔，重绘了她作为犹太妇女、作为母亲、作为波兰公民的形象；同时透出纸背的，还有波兰战后一代的日常，以及犹太群体的遭遇：“水晶之夜”的阴影，战后通货膨胀与物资匮乏，1968年排犹，转轨……它们深刻而深远地影响着每一位波兰人，那些物品承载的，是那代人的集体记忆。
《未弃之物》是一本词与物的书，一本关于母亲的书，它像物品剪贴簿，更像一部个人史、私人回忆录。整本书一点也不沉痛，而是充满了黑色幽默与讽刺、揶揄、顾左右而言他，是相当别致的逝者追思录。

The contents of "Undiscarded things"
"Even though life tells us that we must all die, there are goodbyes that we are never prepared for."
Marcin Wija, a contemporary Polish writer, is faced with this dilemma. My mother always collected useless gadgets: lamps, rocks, scrap newspapers, ballpoint pens, and, of course, her favorite -- books. After the death of her mother, the author, while sorting through her belongings, recalls the past and repaints the image of her as a Jewish woman, as a mother and as a Polish citizen; At the same time, there is also the daily life of the post-war generation in Poland, as well as the suffering of the Jewish community: the shadow of Kristallnacht, postwar inflation and material deprivation, anti-Semitism in 1968, the transition... They have a deep and profound impact on every Pole, and they carry the collective memory of that generation.
"Undiscarded" is a book of words and objects, a book about mother, it is like a scrapbook of objects, more like a personal history, a private memoir. The whole book is not sad at all, but full of black humor and satire, teasing, and circumspection, he is a rather chic memoir of the dead.
