内容简介

Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible was going to happen to the warren - he felt sure of it. So did his brother Hazel, for Fiver's sixth sense was never wrong. They had to leave immediately, and they had to persuade the other rabbits to join them. And so begins a long and perilous journey of a small band of rabbits in search of a safe home. Fiver's vision finally leads them to Watership Down, but here they face their most difficult challenge of all...Published in 1972, "Watership Down" is an epic journey, a stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival against the odds.

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。
