WILD CHILD (OLD TITLE: THE GIRL WITH NO NAME)

Book ID/图书代码： 00530012B53587

English Summary/英文概要： “My story starts with my earliest memory. I was four; squeezing pods until the peas popped in our allotment that bordered the village. A black hand suddenly clamped a damp white cloth over my nose and mouth; as I tried to scream the hand pushed harder and the sky turned black.”

Marina’s kidnappers abandoned her deep in a remote Colombian jungle. Surrounded by terrifying noises and trapped by its sheer suffocating denseness, half-drugged and starving, Marina tried to find her way home. She searched for food and water along the way, competing with big cats, poisonous spiders, giant pythons, extraordinary insects and huge bats.

Two days later, she was confronted by about twenty curious capuchin monkeys. By following them and copying what they ate and drank, their social activities, their language, Marina gradually became part of the family for five extraordinary years. They fought, played and shared tender and terrifying experiences. Marina developed extraordinary super-human abilities such as tree-climbing, stealth and animal communication.

Discovered by a pair of hunters, she was sold into slavery in exchange for a parrot. She escaped from her abusive captors after a year and fled to the concrete jungle of Cucuta, Colombia’s most lawless city, where she lived on the streets, picking pockets to survive, eventually leading her own gang of thieves.

This was only the start of Marina’s breathtaking story, a story that doesn’t let up for a single moment. From being forced to work in a brothel in Colombia’s most dangerous town to cooking the Duke of Kent the ‘best quiche I’ve ever had’, from encountering pythons, crocodiles and big cats in the wilds of Colombia to surviving car crashes and bombs on the streets of Cucuta to scrambling up the trees of Bradford, England, from facing three seemingly insurmountable tragedies to finally finding love in the UK, Marina’s inspirational and astonishing story is truly unforgettable.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： “我的故事开始于我最早的记忆。四岁那年，我在村边挤豆荚，一只黑手突然用潮湿的白布捂住了我的鼻子和嘴，此时我试图喊叫，但是那只手捂得更用力了，我顿时眼前发黑了。”

绑架玛莲娜的人，把她遗弃在了偏远的哥伦比亚丛林里，她被恐怖的叫声，时常的半昏迷状态和饥饿的感觉包围。玛莲娜试图寻找回家的路，一路上寻找着食物和水，还要同狮子老虎，毒蜘蛛，巨蟒，厉害的昆虫以及大蝙蝠做斗争。

两天后，她遇到了二十只调皮的僧帽猴，便跟随着他们，并且模仿他们吃东西，喝水的动作，融入他们的社交活动，模仿他们的语言，玛莲娜成为了它们家族的一部分，度过了离奇的五年。他们一起战斗，玩耍，共享美妙和可怕的经历。玛莲娜成长为一个超人一般有非凡能力的人，就像爬树，伪装以及同动物交流。

玛莲娜被一对打猎的夫妇发现后当做奴隶卖了，换取了一只鹦鹉。一年后，她从虐待她的主人处逃脱，逃到了水泥构筑的丛林——库库塔市。库库塔是哥伦比亚治安最混乱的城市，她在大街上流浪，靠捡袋子生存，最终，她领导了一伙小偷。

这仅仅是玛莲娜惊险故事的开始，这个故事没有一刻让人觉得轻松，从被迫在哥伦比亚最危险的城市的妓院工作到为肯特的公爵烹饪出：“我曾经拥有过的最美味的蛋卷”；从在哥伦比亚荒原遇到蟒蛇，鳄鱼，狮子老虎到在车祸与街头炸弹爆炸中幸存，再到试图攀登英国布拉德福特的树木，从面对三个看似不可克服的悲剧到在英国找见了真爱，玛莲娜鼓舞人心的传奇故事令人难忘！(兼职翻译-FSF)
