ダブルポイント 詳細
The Ninth Legion marched into the mists of northern Britain - and they were never seen again. Four thousand men disappeared and their eagle standard was lost. It's a mystery that's never been solved, until now . . . Marcus has to find out what happened to his father, who led the legion. So he sets out into the unknown, on a quest so dangerous that nobody expects him to return. The Eagle of the Ninth is heralded as one of the most outstanding children's books of the twentieth century and has sold over a million copies worldwide. Rosemary Sutcliff writes with such passion and attention to detail that Roman Britain is instantly brought to life and stays with the reader long after the last page has been turned. The book is also now the subject of a major film.

レビュー

'Decades later, I can still hear echoes of The Eagle of the Ninth in my head : the chink of mail, the tired beat of the legionaries' feet.' ― The Independent

'These tales of Roman Britain have yet to be surpassed for their non-patronising prose and adult dangers. Sutcliff makes Classics and archaeology uniquely thrilling for children.' ―
Amanda Craig, The Times

'A beautifully written and exciting tale of a young man's mission to save the reputation of his dead father' ―
Simon Scarrow, Big Issue

Great stuff that should not be forgotten! ―
Amie Thomson, Big Issue in Scotland

訳書を参考にキンドル辞書に頼りつつでも原書に触れたほうが、内容がピンときました。マーカスの初任地は帝国辺境で、つまり最前線・危険地域だったこと。砦の司令官の辛さは『友がいないこと』だという先任者の残す言葉の意味。ストーリー展開に合って、すんなり意味が通ります。できればイギリスグーグルでローマ帝国時代ブリテン地図をゲットして読むと、さらに意味がわかります。

面白くて一気に読んでしまいました。登場人物の名前と土地の名前の発音が分かりにくかったのですが、何とかクリアしました。
ブリテンを支配していたローマ軍の指揮官Marcusは、戦闘で足を負傷し、軍団を退いて叔父の元に身を寄せる。
 
Marcusは、いつも気がかりだった亡くなった父の所属していた第9軍団の話を叔父の友人総指揮官のClaudiusから聞く。そして、第9軍団のワシを取り返すために、剣闘士だったEscaと共に、北の地カレドニアをめざして旅立つのだった。
話は、展開が早く、ドキドキ、ハラハラで進み、一気に読むことが出来ました。
お奨めです。

5つ星のうち5.0 It’s a children’s book, but adults will find it very readable as well.

The film, “The Eagle” is based on this book. It is all fiction, however the book runs closer to the truth that the author of the book set out to find. This could have been a real event, but nobody knows. I bought the DVD, then the book. Recommend anyone to buy both, in that order.

It is an engaging novel, very well set historically and with thrilling chapters. I enjoyed it. The mystery about the missing Legio IX Hispana and the wingless eagle motivates you to read it. The characters are well rounded and very human, really captivating. The author describes so well the settings that you really feel as if you were there. A great novel.

I read this about 35 years ago, as a 10 year old boy. I was very much into Rome and archaeology and history, so it was a natural fit. It does contain some details about the roman military and ordinary life in roman Britain and quite a bit on the relations between occupier and occupied. It's also very beautifully written, with a ... flowery language and s great eye for details. You also get a lot of terminilogy with celtic, old Norse and scottish roots - there are dun, tarn and rath and many more. Most importantly, it's a very good, suspenseful adventure story, which kept me hooked.

So, I'd say it's not an easy read for anyone below 12, maybe suitable for very strong readers at a younger age, who enjoy adventure novels and are into history.

Im certain aspects, archaeological and historical understanding of the roman period has probably moved on a little bit, but I'm not an expert there and think it's still solid in it's historical accuracy. The eagle nowadays is not anymore taken to be a legion's standard and whether the area between Hadrian's and Antonius' wall was really called Valentia also seems doubtful, but these are details. More problematic is maybe the general optimism of Rosemary Sutcliff that we could really accurately portrait the life in roman times, whilst there's still so much we don't know. In a review of the book I read something along the line that we simply don't know what Romans in Britain ate for breakfast. But you probably need the confidence that you know what it was like back then, if you want to write a historical novel about that time.

I when rereading it today, around the time of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, I couldn't help but reflect on the similarities between the war in Afghanistan and the roman occupation of the area north of the Hadrian's wall.

And whilst I think that Rosemary Sutcliff's portrait of the relationship between roman occupiers and occupied native people is far from perfect (maybe too much Kipling in there?), she at least does tackle it and to me shows a deeper understanding of that relationship and appreciation for the occupied than 90% of the decision-makers regarding the war in Afghanistan.

I haven't seen the movie and I dread it.

This is a book my husband has been looking for off and on, for years. It was one of his favourite books. I found a replacement book, this original, of Eagle of The Ninth, on Amazon, and ordered it right away. I've put it aside for Christmas. He will be thrilled to have the book again.

I first read "The Eagle of the Ninth" in 5th grade primary school and loved it. I have just re-read it almost 50 years later and it has aged well. Like all good yarns it is really not just a kids' book but, like R.L. Stevenson's best works, good writing that a kid can enjoy. In these post-colonial days the relationship between the hero and his freed slave doesn't really ring true; why would a warrior Briton help a Roman invader dishonour his own tribe no matter how much he liked or respected him? But it's still a good buddy yarn told with beautiful language, pace and tension.
