简介:
It is night in the south seas near Tahiti, and the ship HMS Bounty has begun the long voyage home to England. But the sailors on the ship are angry men, and they have swords and guns. They pull the captain out of bed and take him up on deck. He tries to run, but a sailor holds a knife to his neck. 'Do that again, Captain Bligh, and you're a dead man!' he says. The mutiny on the Bounty happened in April, 1789. This is the true story of Captain Bligh and Fletcher Christian, and the ship that never came home to England. 200年前,航海的生活非常不易。人们得吃很硬的面包、变了质的肉;得夜以继日地工作,经常是又冷又湿、饥寒交迫;数月都看不到陆地;经常碰到危险的风暴,事故频繁;有些船一去不返。1787年,“女王陛下邦蒂”号离开英国,航行绕过半个地球,来到南太平洋的塔希提。这艘船的船长是威廉·布莱,大副是弗来彻·克里斯琴。邦蒂号上并不愉快,布莱作风强硬,他的副官和水手们并不喜欢他。他们既怒且怕——担心在海上漂泊的时间更长。要花一年的时间才能回到英国……和布莱船长在一起待一年。 他们开始悄悄地商量……为什么不呆在塔希提呢?这儿有湛蓝的天空,友善的人们。为什么我们得有一个船长?为什么不让布莱船长坐上救生艇回英国呢? 但是对暴动的惩罚是死亡。
