Product Description

Beric, the Roman whelp who as a baby had been cast up on a British shore, found himself cast out by the clan which had adopted him. It was the start of years of exile, and when at last he came to a home that seemed to welcome him, he was no longer sure if he could be anything other than an outcast.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Shackled by his Past, Fév 4 2003
This review is from: Outcast (Paperback)
Culture clash in Roman Britain is presented in an unbiased manner for both Celts (or Picts, judging from the facial tattoes) and Romans in this interesting YA novel. Sutcliff's predilection for ancient times and primitive civilizations results in a gripping plot of teenage identity crisis, while
presenting precise historical detail about Roman culture
superimposed upon the Celts in a way that does not impede enjoyment. Instruction and Enlightenment the easy way.

An infant boy miraculously survives a shipwreck off the coast of prehistoric Britain, providing filial replacement for a cherished infant who recently perished. Raised as one of the tribe until the age of 9 Beric, suddenly realizes that he is not universally or automatically accepted, despite his loyalty to his foster tribe. There is a long and bitter history of hatred for the Red Crests, who prove to be his Roman progenitors.

For the next 6 years the boy must constantly prove his right to remain in the village, struggling aginst both his peers, superstition and even an adult nemesis. He also battles his own internal doubts as to his identity--in which world does he truly belong? Can he wander through life belonging to neither or both? A sincere youth caught in the remorseless web of Nature vs Nurture, Beric faces difficult choices in a harsh adult world, where men abuse and torture him without compassion. Will Beric ever be freed of the shackles of hate and humiliation re his mixed heritage which bind his soul, even more surely than the chains on his body? Many teenagers--searching for their personal Belonging Place--can recognize his anguish. An excellent introduction to the Roman world; for readers of all ages.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Beric must begin his life as an outcast..., Jui 6 2002
Par Un client
This review is from: Outcast (Paperback)
"Outcast" is an excellent literary composition that tells the tale of Beric, who is branded as cursed by a druid since he was in a frightful shipwreck whilst he was only a newborn child, and was the solitary survivior.
So the tribe that have taken in Beric are insistant that the holy beings in which they place their faith are unhappy with them for this, because Beric is a red-crest.
I found parts of the book deeply disturbing and so would reccomend any easily - unsettled reader of my age to be prepared before you read it.
Nevertheless Rosemary Sutcliff vividly describes every needed detail without overbalancing action with description.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Good attempt to look at the harsher side of Rome, Fév 20 2002
Par TammyJo Eckhart "TammyJo Eckhart" (Bloomington, Indiana United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Outcast (Paperback)
This is a great book for pre-teens, teens, and even adults who like fiction set in the ancient world. Here we see the harsh social realities faced by foundlings in the life of Beric, Roman child adopted from the sea by Britons during the Roman Empire -- when exactly isn't given. While I'm glad the attempt was made to show the harshness of life both in the north and then among the Romans there was still a bit of sugar-coating that is perhaps the result of wanting to respect our own morals or the result of a lack of knowledge. Thus the sexual terror and abuse of slavery is not mentioned and there is the idea that slaves have special clothes or jewelery to mark their status which is not the case unless one had been a runaway or a master really wanted to use a collar or brand or tattoo. The ending was also a bit too positive but then again most people don't want to read a sad tale even if it is more realistic.
