威廉 桑希尔是泰晤士河畔一个没受过教育的船夫,性情直率,敢爱敢恨。因为偷窃木材,在1806年被流放到新南威尔士州。像许多犯人一样,他在几年内被赦免,并开始在霍克斯伯里河上讨生活。很快,他获得了河畔的一块土地。但当时,移民者和原住民在霍克斯伯里的矛盾日渐激化。而桑希尔的土地正处在咽喉之地。他的发家之路似乎即将开始,可问题也随之而来。土著人认为这片土地应属于世世代代生活在这里的达鲁格人。面对侵略者建立的栅栏、道路和房屋,他们拿起最原始的武器,开始反击。桑希尔渐渐意识到,土地所引发的战争或许终将不可避免。他的邻居斯迈舍和赛吉提等人认为,土著人是原始野蛮的动物,不应手下留情;但有的人选择与土著人和谐共存,例如布莱克伍德先生就成功融入了土著人的生活;还有人选择妥协,就像海蒂太太会说“他们要什么就给他们什么好了”。但随着时间流逝,移民者与原住民的矛盾不断升温。有些移民者决定要“一劳永逸”地解决问题。桑希尔会加入他们吗?无论是否,这个决定都将伴随他度完余生。William Thornhill, an illiterate Thames bargeman and a man of quick temper but deep feelings, steals a load of timber and is transported to New South Wales in 1806. Like many of the convicts, hes pardoned within a few years and settles on the banks of the Hawkesbury River. Perhaps the Governor grants him the land or perhaps he just takes it - the Hawkesbury is at the extreme edge of settlement at that time and normal rules dont apply. However he gets the land, its prime riverfront acreage. It looks certain to make him rich. Theres just one problem with that land: its already owned. Its been part of the territory of the Darug people for perhaps forty thousand years. They havent left fences or roads or houses, but they live on that land and use it, just as surely as Thornhills planning to do. They arent going to hand over their land without a fight. Spears may be primitive weapons, but settlers know that they can kill a man as surely as a ball of lead from a musket. As he realises all this, Thornhill faces an impossible choice. Some of his neighbours - Smasher Sullivan, Sagitty Birtles - regard the Darug as hardly human, savages with as little right to land as a dog. When the Darug object to being driven off, those settlers have no compunction in shooting or poisoning them. Other neighbours make a different choice, and find ways to co-exist with the Darug. Blackwood has made a family among them. Mrs Herring gives them when they ask. Hostility between blacks and whites gradually escalates. Finally a group of settlers decides to go out and settle the Darug for once and for all. Will Thornhill join them? The decision he makes is with him for the rest of his life.更新时间:2018-06-03 00:10:21
