PRINCE WHO WALKED WITH LIONS

Book ID/图书代码： 12730512B53310

English Summary/英文概要： The British Army is circling the stronghold of the King of Abyssinia. Under orders from Queen Victoria, its mission is to rescue the British Envoy, held prisoner. Watching with terror and awe is the king’s young son, Alamayu. He knows that his father is as brave as a lion, but how on earth can he and his warriors stand against the well-equipped foreigners? As battle rages, everything that Alamayu fears comes to pass. The fighting is cruel and efficient. By the time it is over, Alamayu is left without parents, throne or friends. In a misguided attempt to care for him, the British take Alamayu to England. There he is befriended by the queen herself and enrolled in Rugby College to become a ’proper’ English gentleman. What the English see as an honour is, to this lonely Ethiopian prince, a horror. This is Alamayu’s story, seen through his eyes: the battle, the journey to England and the trauma of an English public school as he comes to terms with the hand that fate has dealt him and tries to build a new life.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 英军正围绕着埃塞俄比亚国王的要塞展开包围，执行营救被俘使节的任务。国王幼子阿拉玛尤目睹这场惊心动魄的战斗，既恐惧又震撼。他深知父亲勇如猛狮，但这场厮杀残酷而又激烈。当硝烟散尽时，阿拉玛尤失去了双亲、王位与挚友。英国人误以为照顾他是出于善意，便将他护送至英格兰。在那里，他不仅结识了女王本人，还被送入拉格比公学，接受成为“正统”英国绅士的培养。在英国民众眼中是荣耀的历程，对这位孤独的埃塞俄比亚王子而言，却成了令他胆寒的残酷现实。

《与狮同行的王子》讲述了阿拉玛尤的故事，通过他的眼睛来看：战斗、前往英国的旅程和在英国公立学校的创伤，他试图接受命运给他的惩罚，伊丽莎白·莱尔德 (Elizabeth Laird) 巧妙地讲述了这一切。(Sandy)
