内容简介

A phenomenal worldwide bestseller for over thirty years, Richard Adams's Watership Down is a timeless classic and one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in England's Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they journey forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, to a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society.

作者简介

理查德·亚当斯，1920年生于英格兰伯克夏郡。在写作成名前，亚当斯只是一名普通的公职人员，但他心中一直有一个关于兔子的幻想故事。1960年代英国社会萎靡的乱象让亚当斯感到气愤，同时为了描绘出存在他心中已久的理想世界，他决定走向写作之路。

《兔子共和国》1972年圣诞节在英国出版，1973年旋即获得卡内基大奖和《卫报》文学奖，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文学作品，直到如今仍是成人读者心中公认的奇幻小说必读之作。
