Book ID/图书代码： 11340011B50083
English Summary/英文概要： ’We had no antibiotics, few drugs. A lot of time was spent pouring things down cows’ throats. The whole thing added up to a lot of laughs. There’s more science now, but not so many laughs.’
We all know James Herriot, possibly the most famous vet in the world. But how did a young student named Alf Wight become the man who would charm millions of readers the world over?
Young Herriot tells the fascinating story of James Herriot’s formative years at veterinary college. Set in Glasgow in the 1930s - pre-antibiotics, when veterinary practise was, as Herriot wrote, ’more art than science’ - the book shines a light on his calling to work with animals (which began when he read an article in Meccano Magazine entitled ’Veterinary Surgery as a Career’), his early friendships and quest for knowledge at Glasgow’s Veterinary College and the early development of his legendary compassion for animals.
Accompanying a major BBC drama series, Young Herriot uses previously unpublished diaries and casebooks from Herriot’s days as a student to bring to life a fascinating time and place, and represents a thrilling new addition to the James Herriot canon.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 那时候，我们没有抗生素，只有少量的药物。我们大部分的时间都消耗在把饲料灌进牛的喉咙里。但所有的事情给我们带来了许多的欢笑。现代生活的科技发达许多，但却没有那么多的欢笑了。 James Herriot几乎家喻户晓，他可能是世界上最有名的兽医作家。但是一个原名为James Alf Wight的年轻学生是怎样变成打动了全世界千千万万读者的作家呢？
《年轻人哈利》讲述了在James Herriot在其个性形成阶段就读于兽医学院时那些引人入胜的故事。故事发生在上世纪30年代的格拉斯哥，在那个抗生素还未被发明的年代，兽医学，正如哈利写的，"不是科学而是艺术"。这本书清晰讲述了他与动物一同工作的经历（始于他看到一篇《麦加杂志》上名为《兽医外科学事业》的文章），以及关于他早年的朋友和在格拉斯哥兽医学院对知识的孜孜追求，还有他早年对动物近乎传奇式的怜悯关爱。
伴随着他的著作被拍成BBC热门系列电视剧，《年轻人哈利》中也包含了哈利学生时期从未出版过的日记以及记录档案，他赋予许多时间与地点以新的生命，令人惊叹，这为James Herriot真作集又增添了新的一笔。(兼职翻译-XAT)
