封面都遮不住里面的白色纸张
虽然写了1-4个月发货，但我下了订单才两天就发货了。去过书店找这本书，但是没货了。卓越还便宜几块钱。很好~~
非常好看的小说～就是发货要等太久。。。
原装书的纸质真是不怎么样，浅黄色的普通纸，不太值，但是没有中文版，没办法呀
When my youngest son was in grammar school, he really disliked reading. He had no patience for it. I made a list of books that I hoped would pique his interest, and I read a chapter each night until we finished several titles I had picked. One of those books was Rosemary Sutcliffe's "Eagle of the Ninth." Sure, he was old enough to read it on his own. But we both looked forward to each evening's chapter.
Today, my 21-year-old son is an avid reader with a broad range of interests. These days, I take reading recommendations from HIM.
I was very pleased to see that this historic novel has been reissued in a beautiful hardcover edition, complete with illustrations and an attached ribbon marker.
The story is a straight-forward adventure involving young Roman officer Marcus, his slave Esca, and a wolf. It takes place in 2nd Century Britain and is based on a true story. This is the first in a series, and it was made into a movie starring Channing Tatum ("The Eagle").
Sutcliffe did her homework and the novel makes the ancient world come alive.
This book belongs on every child's shelf, and your son or daughter will be able to appreciate this particular edition for many years, long enough to pass on to the next generation.
Rosemary Sutcliff's classic, The Eagle of the Ninth, is an amazing tale set in 2nd century Britain during Rome's occupation. It is such a captivating tale, that we used it as part of our daughter's literature curriculum. Because it was written in 1954, the language is very rich and vivid. It helps the reader to imagine the sights and sounds and smells of early history. The story is compelling as you follow Marcus on his quest to find out what really happened to his father's legion and reclaim the honor. There are so many fascinating characters, such as Esca, Marcus's freed slave, and the Romans who chose Britain as their home. It is a beautifully written tale and well researched. Hadrian's Wall, the Roman fortresses, the wildness of Caledonia...all of it came alive in Sutcliff's story.
Better than the movies, which took a lot of liberties (confession: I liked the movie anyway!). Rosemary Sutcliff is a historical fiction write of the stature or Mary Renault, and The Eagle is a very good introduction to her thankfully large output. I'm a little unclear as to what extent she is writing for young adults - certainly for well-educated, intelligent young adults! - and her deliberate use of some archaic phrasings and words may put some off, but they give her stories a vivid feel of taking place in another time and civilization, always an almost impossible act to pull off. And they give one a feel and taste for ancient history. Highly recommended.
