这是一个关于三名少年在太平洋岛屿上遭遇海难的十九世纪冒险故事。起初他们过着田园牧歌般的生活，但随着波利尼西亚交战部落的登岛以及随后海盗的到来，这种生活很快被打破。历经种种冒险之后，少年们夺得了海盗船，得以启航回家。

……小说，或者是考据极为详实的小说。我喜欢 James Michener。- 读读旅行和冒险类故事。我个人在这类里最喜欢的是 R L Stevenson 的《金银岛》（The Treasure Island）和 R M Ballantyne 的《珊瑚岛》（The Coral Island）。这两本都不算很长，而且原著在今天读起来依然出奇地流畅好读。额外福利：它们都是备受推崇的经典。我个人觉得 Ballantyne 的……
…fiction, or fiction that is extremely well-researched. I like James Michener. - Read travel and adventure type stories. Personal favorites in this category are The Treasure Island by R L Stevenson, and The Coral Island by R M Ballantyne. Both are not particularly long, and the original is still suprisingly readable in this day and age. Bonus: these are extremely well-regarded classics. I personally find Ballantyne's…
《蝇王》（Lord of the Flies）在某种程度上算是对《珊瑚岛》（The Coral Island）的反驳。不过读起来可有意思多了。
Lord of the Flies was somewhat a rebuttal to The Coral Island. More enjoyable to read though.
R M Ballantyne 写的《珊瑚岛》（The Coral Island）。这书写得很早了，我小时候读的是删节版。之前我买了一本来送人当礼物，结果买成了未删节全本，根本不适合小孩子看。……
The Coral Island, by R M Ballantyne It was written a long time ago, and I read an abridged version as a kid. I got a copy to give away as a present, but got the unabridged version, which is not suitable for children.…
奇怪的是，就算证明了这本书完全失实，它的文学声誉也没有受到哪怕一丁点影响，也没让 Golding 当初想要反驳并取代的“不切实际”的《珊瑚岛》（Coral Island）重新火起来[1]。事实上，文学界压根就没承认过它被证伪了，由此可见那个圈子有多值得被尊重了。[1] Golding 认为……
Strange how proving the book utterly false has not dimmed its literary reputation even a little, nor caused a resurgence of the "unrealistic" Coral Island that Golding set out to disprove and displace [1]. In fact being proven false has not been acknowledged at all by the literary world, which show how much respect that world deserves. [1] Golding thought…
有一部分是这样。但话又说回来，用作者自己的原话来说，他“写了一本关于岛上孩子们的书，而那些孩子的表现正如现实中孩子会有的样子”。甚至他的动机就是觉得《珊瑚岛》（Coral Island）“不切实际”。你可能会觉得这起码得给这本书打个星号附注说明一下吧。与此同时，《动物农庄》（Animal Farm）显然是通过把动物作为主角来寓言化的。虽然我不同意，但有人……
Partly. But again, in the author's own words, he "wrote a book about children on an island, children who behave in the way children really would behave". Even his motivation was that Coral Island was "unrealistic". You'd think that would earn the book at least a little asterisk. Meanwhile Animal Farm is obviously intended to be allegorical by using animals as protagonists. While I disagree, one…
