    MAD BLOOD STIRRING

    Book ID/图书代码: 11701217C00110

    English Summary/英文概要: In 1815, after Great Britain and the United States have declared peace in the so-called Second American War of Independence, a group of captured US sailors are delivered to the legendary Dartmoor Prison, a godforsaken spot in the far reaches of Devon, where they are immediately immersed in a stew of political and racial tension among the incumbent prisoners-of-war.

    Here there are seven accommodation blocks - six white, one black – where, with the war over, the situation within the prison walls is becoming ever more explosive, a powder keg waiting to blow…

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 1815年,在英国和美国宣布了所谓的第二次美国独立战争取得和平时,一组美国水手被押送到传奇达特穆尔监狱,那是一个离德文郡很远的倒霉的地方,在那里他们立即被卷入政治和种族之间的紧张局势中。

    这里有7个住宿区——六个白人的,一个黑人的——在那里,随着战争的结束,监狱内的情况变得越来越爆动,一个火药桶症等待着被点燃。(WYL)

    “疯狂的热血令人震惊地讲述了一段被忽视的历史。”

    “莎士比亚的罗密欧与朱丽叶是通过一段紧张的监狱戏剧编织而成的,它使自己重新陷入了强大的达特穆尔的史诗般的背景。在西蒙•梅奥的引人入胜的叙述中释放出的激情,将黑人与白人、美国人与英国人以及被夹在中间的一种被禁的爱的灵魂联系在了一块。”

    “它是一个快速的页面,带有黑色幽默,智力的分量,以及一个深刻的人物形象,震撼着我们的灵魂。”

    “这是一部很有创意的小说。”(爵士的肯尼思•布莱纳格)

    跨国出版商比尔斯科特-科尔先发制人地收购了英国的版权,评论说:“从我们开始谈论这个项目的那一刻起,它的戏剧性的潜力和当代的相关性立刻就显现出来了。西蒙发掘出了一个令人难以置信的真实故事,并让他的想象力得到了极大的成功。”

    "Mad Blood Stirring is an astonishing account of an explosive piece of neglected history.

    Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is woven through a tense prison drama that sets itself agains the epic backdrop of mighty Dartmoor. The passions unleashed in Simon Mayo’s riveting account places black against white, Americans against Britons and the stirring soul of a forbidden love caught in between.

    It’s a rapid page turner with dark humour, intellectual heft, and a gallery of deeply human characters that shake our spirits.

    This is a cracking novel." (Sir Kenneth Branagh)

    Transworld Publisher Bill Scott-Kerr acquired the UK rights in a pre-emptive deal, commenting that; “From the moment we started talking about this project, its dramatic potential and contemporary relevance were instantly and emphatically evident. Simon has unearthed an incredible true story and has brought his imagination brilliantly and empathetically to bear on it.”
