Even Silence Has an End B 英文原版

　　Ingrid Betancourt’s story – her exemplary courage, spirit and
resilience – has captured the world’s imagination. A politician and
presidential candidate celebrated for her determination to combat
the corruption and climate of fear endemic in Colombia, in 2002 she
was taken hostage by FARC, a terrorist guerrilla organisation. She
was held captive in the depths of the jungle for six and a half
years, chained day and night for much of that time, constantly on
the move and enduring gruelling conditions. She was freed and
reunited with her children and relatives in 2008. It is
Betancourt’s indomitable spirit that drives this important and
deeply moving book, telling in her own words the extraordinary
drama of her capture and eventual rescue, and describes her fight
to survive, mentally and physically. As she confronts the horror of
what she went through, her story also goes beyond the specifics of
her own confinement to offer an intensely intelligent, thoughtful
and compassionate reflection on what it means to be human.

　　Ingrid Betancourt lived in France and New Zealand before
returning to Colombia to campaign for the presidency, when she was
kidnapped.
