内容介绍
当我的物种自我毁灭时 我们可能需要你的物种来重新开始
在伦敦动物园,达里尔教授又在为猿猴唱歌了。在笼子外面,他看着这两只动物,渴望观察这个稀有物种的交配仪式。
但珀西却因禁闭和忧郁而受到抑制,拒绝了埃德温娜充满欲望的求爱。很快,教授与珀西的联系越来越多,
他与珀西交谈、吟唱、交友,当一位科学家执行政府的秘密任务将珀西送上太空时,他发誓要确保珀西的自由。
然而,面对社会的漠不关心,珀西决定自己动手。
布里吉德-布罗菲(Brigid Brophy)是动物权利运动的先驱,她在 1953 年创作了这部轰动一时的小说,
70 年后的今天,这部小说依然充满挑衅性和哲理性。作为一则道德寓言,它既是对智人的反思,
也是对非人类的反思--反思我们的暴力能力,张牙舞爪,不仅对其他物种,也对我们自己的物种。
When my species has destroyed itself, we may need yours to start it all again.
In London Zoo, Professor Darrylhyde is singing to the apes again. Outside their cage, he watches the two animals, longing to observe the mating ritual of this rare species. But Percy, inhibited by confinement and melancholy, is repulsing Edwina's desirous advances. Soon, the Professor's connection increases as he talks, croons, befriends - so when a scientist arrives on a secret governmental mission to launch Percy into space, he vows to secure his freedom. But when met by society's indifference, he takes matters into his own hands . . .
A trailblazing animal rights campaigner, Brigid Brophy's sensational 1953 novel is as provocative and philosophical seventy years on. An electric moral fable, it is as much a blazingly satirical reflection on homo sapiens as the non-human - on our capacity for violence, red in tooth and claw, not only to other species, but our own.
