Sergeant Lamb's America
The first in a two-book series, Sergeant Lamb's America tells the story Sergeant Roger Lamb, an Irish soldier who served on the British side during the American War of Independence. Based on real historical events and people, Sergeant Lamb recounts the British defeat and the capture of his unit at the Battle of Saratoga in a voice that's both funny, insightful, and wise.This fictionalized account is based on the journals of the historical Sergeant Roger Lamb, and is largely faithful to the true eyewitness account of the American Revolution told from the loser's perspective. With his engaging, personable voice and basic decency of character, Sergeant Lamb reminds us that regardless of how history casts the British side, there were good men on both sides of this important conflict.漫行欧洲
从意国的雪山到法国的城堡群,一路跋涉的大美山水,一路掀起的波澜逸事,一路目睹的新旧碰撞,无不动人心魄。透过他的车窗,我们看到了南德啤酒馆的蒂罗尔颤音歌手,看到了凯瑟琳皇后微笑而摄人的面容,看到了身着宽大灯笼马裤的佐阿夫兵,看到了露德苍白憔悴的朝圣者队伍,还有阿维尼翁那段老桥,人们在上面跳着圆圈舞,不醉不休。而旅途中的点滴思考才是真正贯穿这本书的核心。此书可谓是最初的自驾游记,而又因处在那个特殊的战前黄昏,拥有其独特的历史价值。
