SHANE

Book ID/图书代码： 03890017C00037

English Summary/英文概要： He rode into our valley in the summer of 1889, a slim man, dressed in black. ’Call me Shane,’ he said. He never told us more. There was a deadly calm in the valley that summer, a slow, climbing tension that seemed to focus on Shane.

Seen through the eyes of a young boy, Bob Starrett, SHANE is the classic story of a lone stranger. At first sight, the boy realises there is something unusual about the approaching man, but as Bob gets to know Shane, he realises that there is an inner sadness in him.

SHANE is the story of a gunfighter who tries to hang up his gun but is drawn to the side of the boy’s family and other homesteaders in their struggle to keep from being forced off their land.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 他在1889年夏天骑马进入我们的山谷，一个穿着黑衣的瘦男人。“叫我谢恩，”他说。他没有告诉我们更多。那年夏天，山谷里有一种致命的平静，一种缓慢的、不断上升的紧张气氛，似乎集中在谢恩周围。

在一个小男孩的眼中，鲍勃•斯塔雷克是一个孤独的陌生人的经典故事。乍一看，这个男孩意识到这个即将到来的男人有一些不同寻常的地方，但是当鲍勃开始认识谢恩时，他意识到他内心有一种悲伤。

谢恩讲述的是一名枪手试图挂起他的枪，但却被他的家人和其他农场的人所吸引，因为他们在努力避免被强迫离开自己的土地。(WYL)

Jack Warner Schaefer (November 19, 1907 – January 24, 1991) was an American writer known for his Westerns. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he graduated from Oberlin College in 1929 with a major in English. He attended graduate school at Columbia University from 1929–30, but left without completing his Master of Arts degree. He then went to work for the United Press. In his long career as a journalist, he would hold editorial positions at many eastern publications. Schaefer’s first success as a novelist came in 1949 with his memorable novel Shane, set in Wyoming. Few realized that Schaefer himself had never been anywhere near the west. Nevertheless, he continued writing successful westerns, selling his home in Connecticut and moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1955. Schaefer wrote many thoroughly researched western novels, as well as collections of fiction and non-fiction western stories.

The people about whom Jack Schaefer writes are all credible — brave, likable, touching and sometimes comic. He writes of them with humor and suspense, sentiment and tragedy, against an authentic background. His stories are written with a feeling and economy that gives them universal appeal.

Shane,was adapted by Paramount Studios as a memorable motion picture in 1953. In 1975 Schaefer received the Western Literature Association’s Distinguished Achievement award, and the Western Writers of America honored Schaefer with its Saddleman Award in 1986.
