内容説明・目次

内容説明

This is a collection of letters that document the catastrophe visited upon one family during the destruction of Hiroshima. The author - a young professor of history at Hiroshima University - spent several days after the dropping of the atomic bomb searching for his wife and son. His joy on being re-united with them was short-lived as radiation sickness took his wife ten days later. The author spent the following year writing a series of letters to his wife, outlining the things he saw and experienced over the two weeks before the bombing and her death. The book also contains family documents, letters from the children to their parents and a diary in which the eldest daughter described the events of the 18th-19th August 1945, when she returned to Hiroshima on the final day of her mother's life.
