本書特色★日本詩人多喜百合子首本中譯詩集。★本詩集譯者亦是著名詩人李魁賢，獲頒2016年奈姆．弗拉舍里文學獎，賦予桂冠詩人榮銜，並聘為詩歌節榮譽委員；2017年國家文藝獎得主。序前言／多喜百合子 2021年初，很高興接到台灣著名詩人李魁賢博士電子郵件：「I got an idea to translate one volume of your poems into Mandarin this year and to publish it in Taiwan thereafter. I don't know whether you are interesting this idea or not. If it is affirmative, please give me a word file including your poems to be translated. It had better in English and Japanese bilingual.」 早在2013年，我有10首詩，包括描寫福島事故的詩作，就被李魁賢博士翻譯成華語，收入《世界女詩人選集》（秀威2013），其中一首〈假使〉還發表在台灣大報《自由時報》上。從2011年3月11日發生福島事故起兩年間，當事國日本在政府主導下，試圖把災害損失看得微乎其微，反而在台灣有20萬人舉行反核示威遊行。 另外在2015年，詩〈福島的希望〉（福島核電廠災變第4年）也被譯成中文，刊載於台南福爾摩莎國際詩歌節大會詩選集《鳳凰花開時》。 此次，除上述11首詩外，另傳送16首詩和3篇短論給他。 台灣是世界模範國家，在武漢肺炎全世界擴大傳染的苦難中，政府正確又科學的初期對策奏效，全民過著正常生活。即使有關核電，也已經從日本事故中學到經驗，掌握正確方向。 拙詩蒙代表台灣的詩人李魁賢博士，親手翻譯成台灣使用語言，有幸能獲得理智的台灣方家閱讀，喜悅莫此為甚。 謹向李魁賢博士致上衷心謝忱。書籍簡介「然而所有陣亡者及其遺族不是報復但願人間不再發生這種慘事。」 ──〈不是報復〉（報復ではなく）311地震福島核電外洩、廣島及長崎原爆、911恐怖攻擊、日本慰安婦議題――多喜百合子在《世紀悲歌》中表達了對世界上種種悲劇的憤怒與憂慮，透過文字，作者向世界大聲疾呼。質樸的句子，蘊含的情感是如此沉重，讀起來令
