After a terrible hurricane levels their Jam aican estate, the Bas-Thorntons decide to send their children back to the safety and comfort of England. On the way their ship is set upon by pirates, and the children are accidentally transferred to the pirate vessel. Jonsen, the well-meaning pirate c aptain, doesn't know how to dispose of his new cargo, while the children adjust with surprising ease to their new life. As this strange company drifts around the Caribbean, events turn more frightening, and the pirates find themselves increasing ly incriminated by the children's fates. The most shocking betrayal, however, will o nly take place after the return to civilization.
The swift, almost hallucinatory action of Hughes's novel, together with its provocat ive insight into the psychology of children, made it a bestseller when it was first published in 1929 and have since established it as a classic of twentieth-century li terature--an unequalled exploration of the nature, and limits, of innocence.

評分挺有趣的,顛覆瞭海盜在人們心中的形象,同樣也超越瞭孩子在成人眼裏的樣子,對兒童心理的把握很貼切。我們都曾經曆過孩童時代,可一旦長大就忘記瞭做孩子的感受,也像先輩那樣學著闆起臉來對待孩子的快樂憂傷,自以為是地說教、替孩子思考,喪失瞭卻不自知,看完《牙買加颶風...
評分我並沒有看過火的冒鼻涕泡的《加勒比海盜》,但這並不妨礙我對約翰·德普的喜愛,當然也不妨礙我喜歡海盜。 我對海盜有著一種純潔樸素的感情,他們高壯的身軀,殘缺的右臂,以及殘缺右臂上的鈎子,都如那隻被濛在眼罩後麵的眼睛,對我來說,這一切都充滿著陰冷的神秘,令人不...
