兔子共和国Watership Down

理查德·亚当斯Richard Adams

《兔子共和国》曾译作《瓦特希普高原》、《沃特希普荒原》等。

《兔子共和国》于1972年圣诞节在英国出版,1973年旋即获得卡内基大奖和《卫报》儿童小说奖,1974年更被《纽约时报》选为七本最有意义的书之一。但是《兔子共和国》在初版时只卖出2500本,不过真金不怕火炼,此书日后成了全球经典儿童文学作品,被当作青少年英语教材的最佳读本,直到如今仍是成人读者心中公认的奇幻小说必读之作。

兔子兄弟榛子和小多子出生在桑德福德领地。小多子天赋异禀,能预知将来,它预感到一场来自人类的毁灭性灾难已迫在眉睫。榛子和小多子建议兔子首领山梨带领兔群搬迁,然而,他们不但遭到了拒绝,还被指控煽动叛乱。于是榛子兄弟只好带领其他几只公兔子匆匆逃离领地,踏上艰辛的冒险旅程。

在经历了和人类以及其他天敌几番生死攸关的周旋后,兔子们终于到达了小多子预感中指出的新领地——瓦特希普荒原。而老领地这时已经变成了人类的建设用地,所有的兔子都被毒气杀死了!一路上榛子表现出的果敢、坚毅、体贴和智慧,也使它渐渐成为新的首领。

虽然瓦特希普荒原是安全的栖身之地,榛子意识到,没有足够的雌兔保证种族的繁衍,他们无法在这里长久地安居乐业。听了海鸥克哈尔的指示,他们去远方一个很大的兔子领地艾弗拉法求亲,但艾弗拉法是一个被暴君领导的专制国家,经过一番生死较量,榛子他们成功地带领大批母兔子回到瓦特希普。然而,战争还没有结束,一场报复开始了……

A worldwide bestseller for more than forty years, Watership Down is the compelling tale of a band of wild rabbits struggling to hold onto their place in the world—“a classic yarn of discovery and struggle” (The New York Times).

Richard Adams’s Watership Down is a timeless classic and one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in the Hampshire Downs in Southern England, an idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of “suspense, hot pursuit, and derring-do” (Chicago Tribune) follows a band of rabbits in flight from the incursion of man and the destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they travel forth from their native Sandleford warren through harrowing trials to a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society. “A marvelous story of rebellion, exile, and survival” (Sunday Telegraph) this is an unforgettable literary classic for all ages.
