  • 盜屍者日記

    The Diary of a Resurrectionist

    一八一一年冬到一八一二年冬,倫敦一名盜屍者在十六頁紙上記下了他的工作:某夜去了哪座墓園、挖出幾具「大人」、幾具「小號」、送進哪家醫院、每人分得幾英鎊幾先令、誰又喝醉了誤事。文字破碎、拼字錯亂、毫無感情,卻是英國盜屍這一行僅存的第一手帳簿。本書由英國皇家外科醫學院圖書館館長貝利於一八九六年整理出版:前四章考察解剖用屍體為何長期短缺、盜屍者如何與解剖學教師討價還價、政府為何遲遲不肯立法,以及這本日記的來歷;後半完整重印日記本文,保留原有的拼寫、縮寫與行話。書中收錄十一幅原書插圖,包括愛丁堡灰衣修士墓園的防盜屍鐵籠、克雷爾墓地的存屍屋、鐵棺廣告與日記手稿影本。伯克與海爾案、義大利男孩命案、一八三二年《解剖法》的通過,都在這份冷淡的流水帳背後。 ...
