Sobre este artículo
New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc, 1974. First American edition. Fine/Fine. A Fine copy of the book in like dust jacket. A stray mark in green pencil on the rear jacket panel, otherwise exceptionally bright and fresh. A fantastic debut novel by Adams, ostensibly a book for children, but with themes and layers of complexity best suited for an adult audience.
A best-seller, Carnegie Medal winner, and inspiration for multiple film, tv, stage, and musical adaptations, Watership Down was inspired by tales the author told his two daughters. The book follows a group of rabbits as they flee their home after one of them experiences a terrifying vision of death and destruction. Led by the heroic rabbit, Hazel, the group endures adventure and hardship in their search for a new home. The story is an ode to England's rural landscape, an epic journey, and an incredible example of world-building reflective of our own. Fine in Fine dust jacket.

Sinopsis
Watership Down is an allegorical fantasy novel written by British author Richard Adams, narrating the adventures of a small group of anthropomorphized rabbits as they escape the destruction of their homeland. The story is set in England’s Downs, an idyllic rural home to the small native creatures who possess their own cultures, languages, poetry and mythology. They are soon faced with the settlement of humanity and watch as their land is ravaged by farmland and industrialized commercial advancement. In fear of their lives they leave their homes in hope of finding safety for their family and friends, despite the temptations and perils they are forced to struggle with along the way.
Reseñas
El Dec 27 2016, un lector dijo:
After hearing of Richard Adams' death, I turned once again to a book I have long considered to be a best friend. This adventure story pulls you into a world unseen by humans. The characters are human enough to relate to but animal enough to remain rabbits. The story is captivating and relevant. No matter how many times I read it, I can never put it down while reading the last quarter, it's so suspenseful and exciting.
The characters have been beloved of me for many years and I only hope that I have Fiver's insight, Hazel's authority, Bigwig's strength, and Blackberry's wits.
