"During World War II, the young Philip was rescued by the old man Timothy in a shipwreck. The two of them drifted on a small raft on the sea, and there was also a cat named ""Choujiao"" on the raft. A small raft carrying two people and a cat arrived at a beautiful island surrounded by coral reefs, and Timothy decided to take Philip to the island.
Philip went blind due to a head injury he sustained while falling into the sea. At first, Little Philip was not friendly to the black man Timothy, but on the deserted island, the blind Philip had to rely on Timothy, who had rich sailing experience. They went fishing, wove ropes, and built huts together, and gradually established a deep friendship between the two. Later, a hurricane swept across the coral island... Can Philip and Timothy overcome the difficulties together and turn danger into safety?
The plot of this book is compact and touching, but beneath the tense and thrilling adventure story, the ""deep love in human nature"" depicted in the work is where the value of this book lies.
第二次世界大战时,少年菲利普在船难中被老人提摩西救起,两人乘着小筏子在大海上漂流,小筏子上还有一只名叫"杂烩"的猫。小筏子载着两人一猫来到一座被珊瑚礁包围的美丽岛屿,提摩西决定带着菲利普登上小岛。
因为坠海时头部受伤,菲利普失明了。起初,小菲利普对黑人提摩西并不友善,但在荒岛上,失明的菲利普不得不依赖富有航海经验的提摩西,他们一起钓鱼、编绳子、搭建棚屋,两人逐渐建立了深厚的友谊。后来,一场飓风席卷珊瑚岛......菲利普和提摩西能共渡难关、化险为夷吗?
本书情节紧凑、动人心弦,但在紧张惊险的历险故事外皮下,作品描绘的"人性中深的爱"才是本书的价值所在。
