Loin de la fantasy ou du roman réaliste, L'anneau du Prince renoue avec le roman d'aventures dans la lignée de Stevenson. Tom Collins est un garçon attachant, un sacré bonimenteur, sans scrupule de surcroît, et pourtant un brin candide. Le lecteur se laisse bien vite happé par l'ambiance et par les événements qui se succèdent à un rythme effréné sans nous laisser le temps de souffler. Les personnages secondaires sont eux aussi hauts en couleurs, à commencer par la soeur de Tom, Feodora qui ne s'en laisse pas conter ! Ce livre est malheureusement désservi par sa couverture peu attrayante, c'est dommage ! (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0525471464, Hardcover)

From one of Denmark's foremost writers, here is his most impressive book to date-a roguishly fantastic adventure story of piracy, slave owners, witch burning, shipwrecks, desert islands, and larger-than-life characters-the largest of which is fourteen-year-old Tom O'Connor, a poor, adventurous, charming liar who lives with his mother and half sister at a tavern on the island of Nevis in 1639. Good and evil, truth and lies, right and wrong tug at this unlikely hero when he rescues a slave from drowning, learns he is prince, loses him, travels the Southern Hemisphere in search of him, and finally brings him home to Cape Verde, hoping for a grand reward. But by the time Tom discovers that the prince is really a fisherman's son, the loss of reward doesn't matter-his adventures have brought him no use for greed, and as he says, "a reckless regard for other people's life and well-being."

Translated from Danish by Tiina Nunnally.
