I CAPTURE THE CASTLE

內容簡介

內容簡介 One of the 20th Century's most beloved novels is still winning hearts! I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the castle's walls, and her own first descent into love. By the time she pens her final entry, she has "captured the castle"-- and the heart of the reader-- in one of literature's most enchanting entertainments.�This book has one of the most charismatic narrators I've ever met.� -- J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series

各界推薦

各界推薦 去年英國讀者票選最偉大英美女作家小說，這本由Dodie Smith所寫的《I Capture the Castle》獲得第30名，甚至超過我們大家都熟悉的Ｊ.Ｋ.羅琳的《哈利波特：消失的密室》！這本在1948年出版的小說是這個故事道迪·史密斯〈Dodie Smith〉的第一部作品。本身的浪漫性格讓他的作品充滿了感情，這本《I Capture the Castle》也是一部感人的作品。 故事角色是一位17歲女孩卡珊多拉，父親在一本暢銷作品後就再也沒有靈感，還有一個老是怨天尤人的姊姊，更奇怪的是還有一個愛好天體的母親，這些古怪的成員在他們的美國房東賽門以及他的弟弟尼爾來訪時出現了戲劇化的情節。一場四角的感情衝突即將在這個古堡裡開展。 這部小說在今年也將改編成電影，由導演Tim Fywell重現古堡裡的愛情故事。DodieSmith還有一部作品被改編，成為現在家喻戶曉的電影，就是我們熟知的【１０１忠狗】（101 Dalmatians）。

作者介紹

作者介紹 Dorothy Gladys ""Dodie"" Smith (1895-1990), born in Lancashire, England, was one of the most successful female dramatists of her generation. She wrote Autumn, Crocus, and Dear Octopus, among other plays. She wrote her first novel, I Capture the Castle, in the 1940s while living in America. An immediate success, it marked her crossover from playwright to novelist. Smith also wrote The Town in Bloom, A Tale of Two Families, and The Girl in the Candle-Lit Bath, but she is best known today as the author of two highly popular stories for young readers: The Hundred and One Dalmatians and The Starlight Barking.
