The Riddle of the Sands

Erskine Childers

22,885 words

カルーサーズは友人アーサー・デイビスに招かれ、彼のヨット「ダルシベラ」に乗り、快適なバルト海でのセーリング旅行を夢見ていた。しかし彼の夏休みは全く予想と違う冒険に変わった。彼とデイビスは荒れ狂う北海を越え、独領フリジアン諸島付近の海峡や砂州を探索しながら秘密を探し求めていた―イギリスを揺るがす危険な秘密。1903年出版されたアースキン・チャイルダーによるこの物語は優れた近代スパイ小説第一号であり、今日でも100年前に書かれたとは思えないほどの興奮を与えてくれる。

When Carruthers joins his friend Arthur Davies on his yacht Dulcibella, he is expecting a pleasant sailing holiday in the Baltic Sea. But the holiday turns into an adventure of a different kind. He and Davies soon find themselves sailing in the stormy waters of the North Sea, exploring the channels and sandbanks around the German Frisian Islands, and looking for a secret - a secret that could mean great danger for England. Erskine Childers' novel, published in 1903, was the first great modern spy story, and is still as exciting to read today as it was a hundred years ago.
