作者简介：

Gary Paulsen has received great acclaim and many awards for his novels written for young people. Hatchet and its sequel, Hatchet: The Return, are among his best-known works. Jobs as a sailor, trapper, professional archer, field engineer and travelling carnival worker, coupled with his experiences growing up in the Philippines, running the gruelling 1,150-mile Iditarod dog-sled race in Alaska and riding a Harley Davidson thousands of miles, have provided plenty of material for Gary Paulsen's stories.

He and his family divide their time between a home in New Mexico, USA, and a boat on the Pacific.

内容简介

Grade 8-12 Brian Robeson, 13, is the only passenger on a small plane flying him to visit his father in the Canadian wilderness when the pilot has a heart attack and dies. The plane drifts off course and finally crashes into a small lake. Miraculously Brian is able to swim free of the plane, arriving on a sandy tree-lined shore with only his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present. The novel chronicles in gritty detail Brian's mistakes, setbacks, and small triumphs as, with the help of the hatchet, he manages to survive the 54 days alone in the wilderness. Paulsen effectively shows readers how Brian learns patienceto watch, listen, and think before he actsas he attempts to build a fire, to fish and hunt, and to make his home under a rock overhang safe and comfortable. An epilogue discussing the lasting effects of Brian's stay in the wilderness and his dim chance of survival had winter come upon him before rescue adds credibility to the story. Paulsen tells a fine adventure story, but the sub-plot concerning Brian's preoccupation with his parents' divorce seems a bit forced and detracts from the book. As he did in Dogsong (Bradbury, 1985), Paulsen emphasizes character growth through a careful balancing of specific details of survival with the protagonist's thoughts and emotions.
