Book ID/图书代码： 11701206B01525
English Summary/英文概要： The Princes of Ireland, the first volume of Edward Rutherfurd’s magisterial epic of Irish history, ended with the disastrous Irish revolt of 1534 and the disappearance of the sacred Staff of Saint Patrick. The Rebels of Ireland opens with an Ireland transformed; plantation, the final step in the centuries-long English conquest of Ireland, is the order of the day, and the subjugation of the native Irish Catholic population has begun in earnest.
Edward Rutherfurd brings history to life through the tales of families whose fates rise and fall in each generation: Brothers who must choose between fidelity to their ancient faith or the security of their families; a wife whose passion for a charismatic Irish chieftain threatens her comfortable marriage to a prosperous merchant; a young scholar whose secret rebel sympathies are put to the test; men who risk their lives and their children’s fortunes in the tragic pursuit of freedom, and those determined to root them out forever. Rutherfurd spins the saga of Ireland’s 400-year path to independence in all its drama, tragedy, and glory through the stories of people from all strata of society--Protestant and Catholic, rich and poor, conniving and heroic.
His richly detailed narrative brings to life watershed moments and events, from the time of plantation settlements to the “Flight of the Earls,” when the native aristocracy fled the island, to Cromwell’s suppression of the population and the imposition of the harsh anti-Catholic penal laws. He describes the hardships of ordinary people and the romantic, doomed attempt to overthrow the Protestant oppressors, which ended in defeat at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, and the departure of the “Wild Geese.” In vivid tones Rutherfurd re-creates Grattan’s Parliament, Wolfe Tone’s attempted French invasion of 1798, the tragic rising of Robert Emmet, the Catholic campaign of Daniel O’Connell, the catastrophic famine, the mass migration to America, and the glorious Irish Renaissance of Yeats and Joyce. And through the eyes of his characters, he captures the rise of Charles Stewart Parnell and the great Irish nationalists and the birth of an Ireland free of all ties to England.
A tale of fierce battles, hot-blooded romances, and family and political intrigues, The Rebels of Ireland brings the story begun in The Princes of Ireland to a stunning conclusion.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 傲世群雄和激動人心的宏偉歷史小說當屬，這部暢銷書《都柏林傳奇》。《The Princes of Ireland》（愛爾蘭王子）是由Edward Rutherfurd撰寫的第一部權威的愛爾蘭歷史史詩，小說以愛爾蘭1534年的悲劇性反抗和不見蹤影的神職人員Saint Patrick為故事結尾。
《The Rebels of Ireland 》（愛爾蘭叛軍）向讀者展示了在英國征服愛爾蘭漫長的歲月裡，愛爾蘭的最終的改變和淪為殖民地的進程，也是為了記錄當地虔誠的愛爾蘭天主教徒被鎮壓的日子。
Edward Rutherfurd通過每一代愛爾蘭人命運多舛的家族故事講述了一段歷史：兄弟們必須在自己對古老的信仰的忠誠或他們家族的安全之間權衡利弊;一位熱愛充滿魅力愛爾蘭首領的妻子，被脅迫嫁給一個安逸富有的商人；一個青年學者，對於秘謀叛亂者的同情之心正接受著考驗；一個冒著生命危險的，為孩子們尋求自由而導致悲劇命運的男人，決心永遠根除這些殖民者。Rutherfurd記錄了愛爾蘭400年以來通向獨立自主道路上的所有戲劇性事件，悲劇事件，和來自社會各階層的人的故事 - 新教和天主教，富人與窮人，共謀和英雄的光榮傳奇故事。
他的豐富翔實的敘述手法使事件轉捩點變得尤為生動，從殖民地定居點時期到“逃走的伯爵”，那時當地的貴族已逃離了愛爾蘭島，到克倫威爾人開始鎮壓當地人民並開始實行嚴苛的反天主教刑法。他描述了普通民眾的艱辛和浪漫，和他們曾嘗試推翻新教壓迫者的悲劇命運，以及結束於1690年博因河（愛爾蘭東部河流）一戰中的失利，後者那些逃離的貴族被稱之為離開的“野鵝”。 Rutherfurd運用生動的筆觸，描繪出了Grattan議會，Wolfe Tone試圖在1798年入侵法國，Robert Emmet的悲劇的反抗，Daniel O’Connell的天主教活動，災難性的饑荒，大規模的美國移民，以及輝煌的伊斯的耶茨和喬伊絲（姓氏，愛爾蘭詩人及劇作家）愛爾蘭文藝復興。通過他筆下人物的視角，成功地抓住了Charles Stewart Parnell和偉大的愛爾蘭民族主義者的崛起，以及與英格蘭的一切有關聯的，一個自由愛爾蘭的誕生。
激烈戰鬥，熱血傳奇，家族和政治陰謀的故事，《愛爾蘭叛軍》使故事開始于《愛爾蘭王子》的驚人的結尾。(Sandy)
