War Horse [平裝] (戰馬)

內容簡介

In 1914, Joey, a beautiful bay-red foal with a distinctive cross on his nose, is sold to the army and thrust into the midst of the war on the Western Front. With his officer, he charges toward the enemy, witnessing the horror of the battles in France. But even in the desolation of the trenches, Joey's courage touches the soldiers around him and he is able to find warmth and hope. But his heart aches for Albert, the farmer's son he left behind. Will he ever see his true master again?

《戰馬》是莫波格自己最滿意的作品之一。《戰馬》以一戰為題材，講述了一個人與動物之間關於勇氣、忠誠、和平與愛的非凡故事。前額上有著白色十字花紋的喬伊原本是一匹在鄉間幹活的小馬，與小男孩艾伯特結下了深厚的友誼，但是命運卻安排它走上了戰場……故事通過喬伊的視角全方位展示了戰爭的殘忍與人性的美好。該書初版於1982年，曾獲得當年的惠特布萊德獎亞軍，之後多次被改編為舞台劇和廣播劇，風靡英國。
