Julie Of The Wolves BSY243

US$12.95

Miyax, like many adolescents, is torn. But unlike most, her choices may determine whether she lives or dies. At 13, an orphan, and unhappily married, Miyax runs away from her husband's parents' home, hoping to reach San Francisco and her pen pal. But she becomes lost in the vast Alaskan tundra, with no food, no shelter, and no idea which is the way to safety. Now, more than ever, she must look hard at who she really is. Is she Miyax, Eskimo girl of the old ways? Or is she Julie (her "gussak"-white people-name), the modernized teenager who must mock the traditional customs? And when a pack of wolves begins to accept her into their community, Miyax must learn to think like a wolf as well. If she trusts her Eskimo instincts, will she stand a chance of surviving? John Schoenherr's line drawings suggest rather than tell about the compelling experiences of a girl searching for answers in a bleak landscape that at first glance would seem to hold nothing.

在爱斯基摩小山村中,她叫米娅克丝;而在笔友信中她叫朱莉。当小山村不再是她安全的庇护所,她决定逃跑。可是,她发现自己迷失在阿拉斯加茫茫的荒野中,没有食物,无处栖身,危机四伏。她有没有生存的机会?一个北极狼群出现在她面前。是被狼群吃掉,还是被拯救?她有没有活下去的希望?她又该如何做?为了生存,她鲜活的灵魂、生命的火花,全都寄托在这些狼身上。她不能确定它们是否会帮忙,但她从没绝望。借助父亲传授的有关狼的知识,经过耐心仔细的观察,她逐渐掌握了狼的特性和语言,慢慢地她被狼群所接受,成为狼群中的“异员”。在生死之间,彼此相互相依,女孩和狼群建立血浓于水的真挚感情。当头狼被人类击杀,她勇敢救助受伤的小狼,引领狼群渡过难关;但是当回归人群的日子最终到来,她该如抉择?
