TIGER MEN
Book ID/图书代码： 12580011B51263
English Summary/英文概要： From the pen of master storyteller Judy Nunn comes another brilliant work of fiction woven into the tapestry of Australian history. Van Diemen’s Land was an island of stark contrasts; a harsh penal colony, an English idyll for its landed gentry, and an island so rich in natural resources it was a profiteer’s paradise.
Its capital Hobart Town had its contrasts too; the wealthy elite in their sandstone mansions, the exploited poor in the notorious slum known as Wapping, and the criminals and villains who haunted the dockside taverns and brothels of Sullivan’s Cove. Hobart Town was no place for the meek.
Tiger Men is the story of Silas Stanford, a wealthy Englishman; Mick O’Callaghan, an Irishman on the run; and Jefferson Powell, an idealistic American political prisoner. It is also the story of the strong, proud women who loved them, and of the children they bore who rose to power in the cut-throat world of international trade.
Tiger Men is the sweeping tale of three families who lived through Tasmania’s golden era and witnessed the birth of the Commonwealth of Australia, only to watch its young men consumed by the fires and horror of the First World War.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 朱迪•纳恩，杰出的小说大师，为我们带来了他的新作《虎男》，一段构架在澳大利亚历史背景下的故事。 凡•迪门岛是一座独特的小岛，充满了各种鲜明的反差：它是严酷的流放地，也是乡绅们眼中的田园，它有着丰富的自然资源，同时也是势利商人们心目中的天堂。
小岛的首都霍巴特也是一座充满了巨大反差的小镇：富有的精英分子们住着豪宅，广大劳苦百姓饱受剥削，还要住在臭名昭著的平民窟中，而逃犯们和各种恶人们出没在码头旁的小酒馆和妓院中。霍巴特小镇绝对不是良民的最佳选择。
《虎男》讲述了塞拉斯•斯坦福，一名富有的英国人，米克•奥卡拉汉，一名忙碌的爱尔兰人，以及杰斐逊•鲍威尔，一名怀有理想主义的美国政治犯三人的故事，以及深爱着他们的三个坚强，自豪的女人的故事和他们的孩子在竞争日记激烈的世界中慢慢变强的故事。
《虎男》是三个家庭的故事，他们经历了塔斯马尼亚岛的黄金时期，见证了澳大利亚共和国的诞生，最终也见证了这年轻的国家和这群壮志如云的年轻是如何在第一次世界大战的阴云下慢慢消耗殆尽。(兼职翻译-DC)
