以神之實，我知道，我懂了，阿爾法在他的健壯身軀裡面，為我留了一個位置，這是基於友誼，也基於同情。我知道，我懂了，我死去的那個夜晚，我在無人地帶最幽祕處對他發出的第一道祈求，他有聽進去。因為我不想在一片無名的大地之下，孤零零地，待在一個哪裡都不是的地方。以神之實，我向你發誓，我想到我們，從今而後，他就是我，我就是他。——《夜晚的血都是黑的》
出生於法國巴黎，成長於塞內加爾的大衛．迪奧普，是法國知名小說家與學者，專長領域為十八世紀法國與非洲法語文學，如今在大學教授法國文學和藝術。本書是他的第二部小說，在法國出版當年即問鼎多項法國文學獎，榮獲龔固爾高中生文學獎。法文原版書名「Frère d'âme」直譯為「靈魂兄弟」，英語版發行時則取書中一句「夜晚的血都是黑的」做為書名，讓這位作家的首部英語譯作一舉擒下當年的國際布克獎，並獲洛杉磯時報小說類圖書獎，入圍都柏林文學獎決選。
做為大衛．迪奧普首部進軍英語國度之作，故事以第一次世界大戰為背景，描述了戰爭現場的殘酷及遺留下的創傷。作家的文筆優美而又魔幻，充滿詩歌的韻律，意象卻悚然而暴烈。故事描述主人翁阿爾法與摯友一同上戰場，摯友受重傷而懇求他殺死自己，以免遭受漫長而痛苦的死亡過程。阿爾法無法親手取去摯友性命，最終卻將死亡陰影變成了殘忍的殺戮。他決定為摯友報仇而開始了一個可怕的儀式：每天晚上，他都會偷偷越過敵人的防線，謀殺藍眼睛的敵軍士兵，且毫髮無傷地帶著敵軍斷手返回基地。他在殺人時會唸著「以神之實」般的咒語，看似給自己勇氣復仇，卻也突顯他逐漸瘋狂的精神狀態。起初他的戰友們表示欽佩，但當他帶回第七隻斷手，戰友們開始感到懼怕，謠傳他不是英雄，而是一個噬魂者。長官將他調離戰地至醫院休養，他卻陷入與摯友的回憶，最終邁向崩潰邊緣……
大衛．迪奧普的文字優美而詩意，對於殘忍殺戮戰場的近距離描述讓人不忍直視，而在處理主人翁面對摯友死去時的自責、戰爭的荒謬、內心的變化亦有驚人描寫。主人翁一手執刀一手持槍的意象，猶如對種族問題的無聲吶喊。書末神來一筆的安排重擊人心，更如同透過文學詰問人性、以魔幻情境傳達出共同體般的情感。

Good discussion book to eliminate conflict between couples
Format: Kindle
Use this book as a checklist of things you should discuss with your partner - especially if you're considering or are in a long-term relationship. It explains each topic, why it's a likely source of conflict, how to prevent the conflicts, and includes questions for discussion between partners. Understanding and discussing these topics may not feel romantic and fun, and some of the conversations may be challenging for couples who aren't accustomed to such discussions. Do it anyway though because it will eliminate future conflicts before the conflicts even begin and make your relationship run smoother, last longer, and be a source of relaxation and contentment for you both. I'm speaking from experience here.
If you are new to the study of this topic, this book will be extremely valuable for you. If you've already studied interpersonal relationships, preemptive conflict resolution, and collaborative negotiation tactics, it's still a great checklist of topics to discuss with your partner. I'm on this end of the spectrum, hence 4 of 5 stars because I'm familiar with the author's other work and this book didn't contain much new content. As a compact, all-in-one, relationship discussion guide though, it's great and worth reading and having on hand for future reference for new relationships or for when new conflicts crop up.

Great for Everyone!
Format: Paperback
This book is very useful to prepare people for marriage and I would recommend it for teens (even if they're not in a relationship), engaged couples, and even those already married since this provides realistic information about love and that not everything in a relationship is easy. It also helps people understand and attempt to loosely preset chores around the house and understand what to do with the extra money earned that isn't needed for bills. While I was already aware and have read about the 5 love languages, that is only briefly covered in one chapter while the rest provides other information so if you already read the 5 Love Languages book understand that there is a lot more involved in this book than that concept.
The concept that I want to highlight in this book that I haven't read about before was the 5 Different Ways to Apologize. Increasingly, I think people need to be aware that what we consider to be a 'sincere apology' isn't necessarily the same as everyone else's though there are 5 of them that are fairly common. I was surprised when I found what I thought to be a sincere apology was listed word-for-word! This concept alone can be applied to anyone you socialize with and I especially recommend this piece if you are having apology problems between your friend, significant other, coworkers, and/or boss.
Teens and those single will be able to learn a lot from this book, especially to realize that people, on average, are no longer "falling in love" within two years of the relationship and I think this would help them understand that relationships take a lot of work even when it's not convenient for you. Giving them an understanding of how to be flexible when apologizing and to know that people feel loved according to different love languages will make them more aware of how to improve their friendships and relationships in the future. Finally, there is reinforcement in being willing to do chores even if they're not popular and generally establishing healthy spending habits.
I personally found this book to be thrilling and Gary Chapman successfully backs up some of his findings with Psychological research and definitions. I loved it so much that I read it in one sitting and now I'm getting my teen friends and budding couples into reading it. Awesome book; give it a try if you haven't already! (:

I love this!
Format: Paperback
This is a different type of marriage book. It’s very practical and addresses topics will affect you marriage that you can discuss beforehand. Many of these things get figured out along the way by way of arguments and disagreements or worse, just acquiescing without agreeing. (10 years later this is the reason you’re getting divorced and you haven’t ever talked about it. The other person has no idea & you never trusted them enough to tell them your feelings.). These topics range from who is going to clean the toilet to handling money and marrying into another family. It’s good practical thought and food for discussion. As the first chapter says “Being in love is not is not an adequate foundation for a successful marriage.”

Thank You for this Incredible Book!
Format: Kindle
I am 19 and I am "unofficially" engaged. I know that he and I will most certainly without a doubt be getting married. We have known each other since we were 5 and 6 years old and have built a friendship with God at the center. We are trying our hardest to do things that right way considering we have both come from very (for lack of a better word) dysfunctional house holds. Both of my parents being on their third marriages each and his finally coming back to The Lord after many years of living in the world, haven't always been the best examples for us to learn from. We know exactly how we don't want to lead a marriage but we were not sure exactly how go about leading a proper or Godly marriage. This book, which I accidentally stumbled upon a few weeks ago, has been a serious eye opener and a total reality check. Though I will admit we were in the "tingles" stage, as Dr. Gary Chapman puts it, we have always tried to stay realistic. "Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married" has truly taught us a lot of valuable lessons and I know we will keep the things we have learned from this book close at hand in the coming years.
We thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, but what really made it interesting and kept us flipping the pages were the little anecdotes that were shared about other couples. Listening or reading their experiences really helped us relate to the situations that were being explained. We also liked the "Talking it Over" segments at the end of each chapter. Those we extremely useful when it came to understanding all the information that was just handed to us in the previous reading.
I can not stop telling people about this book. I already have my sister and her husband reading it and it has greatly improved their relationship now after almost 4 months of marriage. I have also recommended it to each of my parents and my fiancé's parents as well because I know they could greatly benefit from it as I did.
Thank You!
