为什么值得读

  • 基于二战战俘亲身经历创作,极具纪实感
  • 生动展现极端环境下战俘营经济的运转机制
  • 叙事精彩深刻,令人震撼并能带来诸多启发

故事发生在二战时期。地点是日军占领区深处一座残暴的战俘营。在这里,在这片翻腾的人性泥潭中,一名美国下士妄图同时凌驾于俘虏与看守之上。他的武器是过人的胆识、对人性弱点毫不避讳的深刻洞察,以及绝不放过任何机会去扩大自身权力、腐化或摧毁任何挡路者的坚决意愿。——摘自平装本封底。

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • James Clavell 那部被低估的处女作《鼠王》(King Rat),是根据他自己在二战期间作为战俘关押在樟宜(Changi)的经历写成的,生动展现了战俘营内部经济是如何运转的,尽管有时读来令人毛骨悚然。

    James Clavell's underappreciated first novel King Rat, based on his own experiences as a WW2 POW at Changi, gives a nice if occasionally horrifying view into how the camp economy worked.

  • 我觉得《鼠王》(King Rat)可能也是 James Clavell 那个系列里的一部。就算不是,如果你喜欢他其他的书,也应该会喜欢这本。

    I think "King Rat" might also be part of James Clavell's series. Even if it isn't, you should like it if you like the others

  • 几年前读过那本。里面有些观点挺受用。另一本路数相近的是 James Clavell 的《Taipan》。还有 Clavell 的《King Rat》也是。

    Read that years ago. Some good lessons in it. Another one on similar lines is Taipan by James Clavell. Also King Rat by Clavell.

  • Clavell 的整个“亚洲三部曲/亚洲传奇”(《幕府将军》、《大班》、《大盗》、《鼠王》、《名门》和《旋风》)都太赞了。我最喜欢的是《大班》——这本书对我影响巨大,我想任何真正的创业者都会喜欢它。其底层主题是自由、…

    Clavell's whole Asian Saga (Shogun, Tai-Pan, Gai-Jin, King Rat, Noble House, and Whirlwind) is amazing. My favorite is Tai-Pan - the book had a tremendous impact on me, and I'd imagine it would appeal to every real entrepreneur. The underlying themes are freedom,…

  • James Clavell 根据自己在日本战俘营的经历写的虚构小说《鼠王》(King Rat)也写得极好。我经常和我祖父聊起他在太平洋当潜艇兵的服役经历,非常残酷,但奇怪的是他从来没有恨过日本人。他把恨意都留给法国人了。

    James Clavell's fictional account based on his experiences in a Japanese prison camp is wonderful read too, 'King Rat'. I talked with my grandfather often about his service as a submariner in the pacific, brutal, but oddly he never hated the Japanese. He saved that for the French.

  • 排名不分先后,我今年(到目前为止)读过的最好的书有: Brandon Sanderson 的《无名之子》(Children of the Nameless) Anthony Everitt 的《奥古斯都:罗马首位皇帝的生平》(Augustus: The Life of Rome's First Emperor) James Clavell 的《鼠王》(King Rat) Charles C. Mann 的《1493:哥伦布创造的新世界》(1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created) Robert C. Martin 的《代码整洁之道》(Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship) Michael Moorcock 的《埃尔瑞克传奇 第一部》(The Elric Saga Part 1)

    In no particular order the best ones I've read this year(so far) are: Children of the Nameless by Brandon Sanderson Augustus: The Life of Rome's First Emperor by Anthony Everitt King Rat by James Clavell 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created by Charles C. Mann Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship by Robert C. Martin The Elric Saga Part 1 by Michael Moorcock
