A Long Walk to Water: Based on a True Story

內容簡介

內容簡介 跨越時空的生存生命線《尋水之心》（A Long Walk to Water）由兩段交替敘述的故事展開，主角分別是兩位生活在蘇丹的十一歲孩子：2008 年的妮雅（Nya）： 她每天必須步行往返兩小時，前往池塘取水，且一天要往返兩次。1985 年的薩爾瓦（Salva）： 他成為了蘇丹的「流浪男孩（Lost Boys）」之一。這群難民徒步橫跨非洲大陸，在漫長的逃亡中尋找家人與安全的棲身之所。薩爾瓦忍受了從孤獨、叛軍襲擊，到遭遇獅子與鱷魚威脅的重重磨難。作為一名生存者，他的故事最終以一種令人震驚且動容的方式與妮雅的故事交匯。Cherished by millions of readers, this #1 New York Times bestselling novel is a powerful tale of perseverance and hope. Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park interweaves the stories of two Sudanese children who overcome mortal dangers to improve their lives and the lives of others.A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about two eleven-year-olds in Sudan, a girl in 2008 and a boy in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours’ walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the “lost boys” of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay.Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya’s in an astonishing and moving way. Includes an afterword by author Linda Sue Park and the real-life Salva Dut, on whom the novel is based, and who went on to found Water for South Sudan.
