"A fast-paced, gripping story set in a world of gruesome violence and perversity, where 'why?' is not a question and murder happens on a whim: but where a very faint ray of grace and hope lights up the landscape of salt and blood and ice. A tour de force of narrative tension and a masterful reconstruction of a lost world that seems to exist at the limits of the human imagination." —Hilary Mantel

“This is a novel that takes us to the limits of flesh and blood. Utterly convincing and compelling, remorselessly vivid, and insidiously witty, The North Water is a startling achievement.” —Martin Amis

A nineteenth-century whaling ship sets sail for the Arctic with a killer aboard in this dark, sharp, and highly original tale that grips like a thriller.

Behold the man: stinking, drunk, and brutal. Henry Drax is a harpooner on the Volunteer, a Yorkshire whaler bound for the rich hunting waters of the arctic circle. Also aboard for the first time is Patrick Sumner, an ex-army surgeon with a shattered reputation, no money, and no better option than to sail as the ship's medic on this violent, filthy, and ill-fated voyage.

In India, during the Siege of Delhi, Sumner thought he had experienced the depths to which man can stoop. He had hoped to find temporary respite on the Volunteer, but rest proves impossible with Drax on board. The discovery of something evil in the hold rouses Sumner to action. And as the confrontation between the two men plays out amid the freezing darkness of an arctic winter, the fateful question arises: who will survive until spring?

With savage, unstoppable momentum and the blackest wit, The North Water weaves a superlative story of humanity under the most extreme conditions.

听精简浓缩版的 北方海域,人性的泯灭吗,像听小故事一样,听得有点别扭的一点点怕(书读的少,不知道怎么形容)这原版英文书对我来说还是强度太高,不然也真的想读原版呢。

1. 医生, 我是一个不会思考的人. 我只会行动 2. 如果他们绞死我, 那只是他们想要这样做, 并且有机会这样做. 他们不过是做想做的事情, 跟我没什么不一样. 3. 这世界上的所有人都一样, 我和你也没有什么不同. 你选择做让你舒服的事情, 我选择做让我舒服的事情. 所谓的法律只是满足小部分人的愿望而已.
