"A fast-paced, gripping story set in a world of gruesome violence and perversity, where 'why?' is not a question and murder happens on a whim: but where a very faint ray of grace and hope lights up the landscape of salt and blood and ice. A tour de force of narrative tension and a masterful reconstruction of a lost world that seems to exist at the limits of the human imagination." —Hilary Mantel
“This is a novel that takes us to the limits of flesh and blood. Utterly convincing and compelling, remorselessly vivid, and insidiously witty, The North Water is a startling achievement.” —Martin Amis
A nineteenth-century whaling ship sets sail for the Arctic with a killer aboard in this dark, sharp, and highly original tale that grips like a thriller.
Behold the man: stinking, drunk, and brutal. Henry Drax is a harpooner on the Volunteer, a Yorkshire whaler bound for the rich hunting waters of the arctic circle. Also aboard for the first time is Patrick Sumner, an ex-army surgeon with a shattered reputation, no money, and no better option than to sail as the ship's medic on this violent, filthy, and ill-fated voyage.
In India, during the Siege of Delhi, Sumner thought he had experienced the depths to which man can stoop. He had hoped to find temporary respite on the Volunteer, but rest proves impossible with Drax on board. The discovery of something evil in the hold rouses Sumner to action. And as the confrontation between the two men plays out amid the freezing darkness of an arctic winter, the fateful question arises: who will survive until spring?
With savage, unstoppable momentum and the blackest wit, The North Water weaves a superlative story of humanity under the most extreme conditions.

听精简浓缩版的 北方海域,人性的泯灭吗,像听小故事一样,听得有点别扭的一点点怕(书读的少,不知道怎么形容)这原版英文书对我来说还是强度太高,不然也真的想读原版呢。

评分听精简浓缩版的 北方海域,人性的泯灭吗,像听小故事一样,听得有点别扭的一点点怕(书读的少,不知道怎么形容)这原版英文书对我来说还是强度太高,不然也真的想读原版呢。
评分文字生猛又冷峻,充滿戳刺感官的細節血肉。嚴酷蒼茫的北極海域如舞台,接連上演捕鯨血戰、殘忍命案與船難求生,無論對自然還是對同類,都在試探著文明缺席時獸性袒露的幅度。人性之惡被赤裸呈現而不加解釋,作者大概信奉性惡論。男主角在愛斯基摩女人對他開口說英文時,大為驚怒,叫她走開。
《北海鲸梦》的可读性与流畅度都非常高,虽然说定位为“历史小说”,但是阅读对背景知识的要求并不多。只要愿意静下心阅读完第一章,后面的所有内容都十分顺畅。作者文笔优美,寥寥数笔勾勒出冷硬而了无生机的永冬。还有一个可读性在于,全书登场人物有限且个性鲜明,有限的形...

评分 评分被人陷害而走投无路的军医不得已踏上捕鲸船北上。在驶往北极的旅程中险象环生,不同的选择导致每个人不一样的结局;血腥的场面,跌宕起伏的情节,意想不到的结局都让人欲罢不能!主角的描写很丰满,个人感觉在书中主角的很多重要的决定都是follow the heart,内心深处不可磨灭...
