SOLOMON TIME: ADVENTURES IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC

Book ID/图书代码： 07468508B20861

English Summary/英文概要： Echoing the experiences of Robert Louis Stevenson - who spent several years in the South Pacific - here is the story of a contemporary writer who lived in and came to love the Solomon Islands. Most unexpectedly, Will Randall, once a happy schoolteacher, found himself dispatched to a small village on a not very large island, far out in the vastness of the South Pacific. His mission (although he had hardly chosen to accept it): - to fulfil the dying wishes of the ’Commander’ and help the local people set up a money-making community project. The Solomon Islands, islands lost in time - Solomon Time; these little gems of land scattered across the ocean, must be the last sanctuary on our shrivelled planet not yet overshadowed by the Golden Arches or encapsulated in a Coca-Cola bubble. Everyone has dreamed at some time of living on a desert island. Here is the unvarnished truth. Sharks, turtles, a band of unruly chickens, a cast of extraordinary characters, and a bird called the Spangled Drongo, accompany Will Randall through some of the most fascinating and certainly funniest scenes to be found in travel writing since Gerald Durrell.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 今有当代罗伯特•路易斯•蒂文森（Robert Louis Stevenson ）（曾经在南太平洋住了好多年）爱上了所罗门这片群岛。对于威尔来说，来到这儿能够事先预料的事情是少之又少。他曾是一名快乐的学校老师，和南太平洋相距甚远。起初他来这儿只是为了满足某人的意愿，帮助当地人民发家致富。每个人都曾幻想过住在一个荒芜的岛上。这是一个活生生的真实故事。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
