荆棘鸟(The Thorn Birds
Colleen McCullough's sweeping saga of dreams, struggles, dark passions, and forbidden love in the Australian Outback has enthralled readers the world over. This is the chronicle of three generations of Clearys, ranchers carving lives from a beautiful, hard land while contending with the bitterness, frailty, and secrets that penetrate their family. Most of all, it is the story of only daughter Meggie and her lifelong relationship with the haunted priest Father Ralph de Bricassart—an intense joining of two hearts and souls that dangerously oversteps sacred boundaries of ethics and dogma.
A poignant love story, a powerful epic of struggle and sacrifice, a celebration of individuality and spirit, Colleen McCullough's acclaimed masterwork remains a monumental literary achievement—a landmark novel to be cherished and read again and again. 澳大利亚著名作家考琳·麦考洛的长篇小说《荆棘鸟》自1977年问世以后,不仅走红美国,与《教父》同为美国十大畅销书;迅速成为风靡全球的“国际畅销书”,先后改编成电影,拍成电视连续剧,管制成盒带,是整个80年代最佳畅销书之一,而且一直有读者请求作者为之作续.前不久,作者应有关方面之邀与作曲家合作,亲自将之改编成面向德语观众的音乐剧.时至今日,虽20几年过去,《荆棘鸟》的美丽依然不衰,无论是电视剧还是小说原作,仍打动亿万读者的心.加拿大魁北克的一位读者说:“我有几本时常重温的书,《荆棘鸟》就是其中之一。且以为,他是所有时代最伟大的爱情故事之一,堪为罗密欧与朱丽叶的爱情比肩。我每读一遍。都有新的发现”。考琳·麦考洛的作品 荆棘鸟(The Thorn Birds)简介:
