纳尼亚传奇Ⅶ最后的战役(The Chronicles of Narnia Ⅶ The Last Battle)简介:
The Last Battle is the seventh and final novel in The Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis. Lewis was awarded the Carnegie Medal for the book in 1956.

In The Last Battle, Lewis brings The Chronicles of Narnia to an end. The book deals with the end of time in the old Narnia and sums up the series by linking the experience of the human children in Narnia with their lives in their original world.

The story begins during the reign of the last king of Narnia, King Tirian, great-grandson of the great-grandson of Rilian, son of King Caspian X. Narnia has experienced a long period of peace and prosperity begun during the reign of King Caspian X. The book begins as a Centaur, Roonwit, comes to warn Tirian strange and evil things are happening to his land and that the stars portend ominous developments.

An ape named Shift has persuaded a well-meaning but simple donkey called Puzzle to dress in a lion's skin, and pretend to be the Great Lion Aslan. Puzzle, though reluctant, is tricked by Shift's assertion that it is not Shift but Aslan himself who is making the request of Puzzle. Shift, using Puzzle as his pawn, convinces the Narnians, both human and animal, that he speaks for Aslan. Once the Narnians have been convinced that Aslan has returned, Shift orders the Narnians to work for the Calormenes, and to cut down talking trees for lumber. The money will be paid into "Aslan's" treasury, held by Shift, on the pretext that it will be used for the good of the Narnians.

King Tirian and his friend Jewel the Unicorn at first also believe the rumors of Aslan's return, but realize the lie when they hear Shift telling the Narnians that Aslan and the Calormene god Tash are one and the same. When Tirian accuses the ape of lying, the Calormenes overpower the king and bind him to a tree. He calls on Aslan for help, and receives a vision of Digory Kirke, Polly Plummer, Peter Pevensie, Edmund Pevensie, Eustace Scrubb, Lucy Pevensie and Jill Pole, though he does not know who they are. The people in the room can also see him and, though Tirian can't speak to them, they guess that he's a messenger from Narnia. A few minutes later by Narnian time, Jill and Eustace arrive in Narnia. They release the King and rescue Jewel and Puzzle. A band of dwarfs are also rescued, but because their faith in Aslan has been shattered, they refuse to help, claiming "The dwarfs are for the dwarfs." Only one dwarf, Poggin, is faithful to Tirian, Aslan and Narnia and he joins them. Tirian and his small loyal force prepare to fight the Calormenes.

As the battle progresses, all of the animals are killed (many by the dwarfs, who attack both sides) and Eustace, Jill, and Poggin are thrown into the stable where the false Aslan was kept. Tirian, earlier on, had thrown Shift into the stable and Tash, who now haunted the stable, swallowed the ape whole. After Eustace, Jill, and Poggin are dragged into the stable, Tirian, left alone and fighting for his life, drags Rishda Tarkaan, the leader of the Calormenes, into the stable. Much to the Calormen leader's surprise and terror, a very real Tash appears, and snatches him up under an arm. Peter, Edmund, Eustace, Lucy, Jill, Polly, and Digory appear before them, (Susan does not appear in Narnia because she has stopped believing in it, thinking of it only as some silly childhood game) and Peter orders Tash to leave. Aslan appears and as they watch at the stable door, all of the people and animals, including those who had previously died, gather outside the barn and are judged by Aslan. Those who have been loyal to Aslan, or to the morality upheld by Narnians, join Aslan in Aslan's Country. Those who have opposed or deserted him do not pass through the door, rather, they become ordinary non-talking animals and fade into shadow and vanish to a fate unknown even to C.S. Lewis. As the children watch, all the vegetations are eaten by dragons, salamanders, and giant lizards and Father Time calls all the stars down from the skies into the sea, which rises to cover Narnia. Peter closes the door, and Aslan leads them away to his country, which is revealed to be the "real" Narnia (the one the Narnians had previously inhabited was only a copy). Here they meet the deceased characters from all the preceeding novels, and the series ends with the revelation that "for them, it was only the beginning of the true story, which goes on forever, and in which every chapter is better than the one before."在纳尼亚灯野偏远处的大锅壶瀑布,阴险狡猾的猿猴席夫特捡到一张狮皮,就怂恿驴子伙伴迷糊披上狮皮假扮起亚斯蓝,并联合南方野心勃勃的卡罗门王国要在纳尼亚境内覆雨翻云…这一年是纳尼亚纪元2555年,亚斯蓝已有很长时间没在纳尼亚出现,年轻的逖瑞安国王出巡狩猎,却听到有人奉亚斯蓝之令滥垦森林,还做了许多很糟糕的事情,逖瑞安便与独角兽朱尔前往查探,却成了猿猴席夫特和卡罗门军队的俘虏。逖瑞安向天祈求亚斯蓝的帮助,突然间看到了奇特的幻境,一个陌生的国度七位衣着奇特的人听到他的求救,但这幻境没多久就消失了。

逖瑞安所看到的那七人,正是在另一世界的七位纳尼亚之友-狄哥里寇克老教授、波莉夫人、彼得、爱德蒙、露西、尤斯提与姬儿,他们常聚在一起谈论纳尼亚的种种(彼得的另一妹妹苏珊长大后关心其它事物,已不常谈论纳尼亚)。他们看到逖瑞安的短暂幻象,知道纳尼亚一定有难了,但魔衣橱已不在,无法主动前往那个神奇国度,狄哥里想起深埋在伦敦老宅的魔戒或许有用,彼得和爱德蒙立刻前去挖掘,找到后跟其它人相约在伦敦火车站月台碰面。当火车进站,突然一阵剧烈震动,年纪最小的尤斯提与姬儿就发现他们两人已经来到了纳尼亚。

尤斯提与姬儿偷偷松绑了逖瑞安国王,又去解救独角兽朱尔,姬儿趁机溜进马厩,发现披上狮皮的驴子迷糊,就把他带了出来。大家发现假亚斯蓝的真面目,便带他去广为告知纳尼亚臣民,不料矮人族的反应却大出意外,他们再也不相信亚斯蓝了,一个冒牌货的出现从此动摇他们的信仰,只有一位矮人波金表示愿意跟随逖瑞安。逖瑞安原本想回凯尔帕拉瓦宫调兵支持,老鹰千里眼此时却带来悲惨消息,原来另一路卡罗门大军已占领凯尔帕拉瓦宫,纳尼亚已经沦陷了。

在马廏山上,尽管失去了驴子,猿猴席夫特、阴险的黄猫大黄及卡罗门的大公厉西达还在继续愚弄人民,他们说亚斯蓝其实就是卡罗门信奉的太息神,谁要不相信就亲自入马廏确认,其实他们已安排杀手在马廏待命,谁要进来就会毙命。逖瑞安眼见纳尼亚居民任人鱼肉,也顾不得本身人单势孤,现身奋力抵抗,有些纳尼亚居民也加入他的行列,开始这场惨烈的最后战役。卡罗门大军一波波到来,后继无援的逖瑞安终于不敌,尤斯提、姬儿都先后被逼进马廏之内。逖瑞安终究还是不敌,最后也被逼入了马廏。当他进入一看,却发现一切别有洞天,宛如来到一个不同的世界,七位纳尼亚之友齐聚一堂,每人容光焕发,狮子亚斯蓝在他们身后现身,再回头看门外,却发现纳尼亚已是一片生灵涂炭,随着星辰的殒落,太阳的垂死,众多生灵奔进门内,纳尼亚的夜幕已经低垂。

亚斯蓝一句「往前走!向上爬!」大家来到一个全新的国度,能言鼠老脾气迎接他们,他们看到纳尼亚数千年的传奇人物共聚一堂,有法兰克、贾斯潘、瑞瑞安…等这些伟大的君王,还有形形色色的人物,像飞马羽生、人羊吐纳思、矮人川卜金、沼泽人泥秆儿、能言马噗哩和昏昏、亚 成地的柯林与柯尔王子…等等,露西发现这地方的山川地貌就好像是纳尼亚,所有美好的事物都被保留住的纳尼亚,这也才是真正的纳尼亚。在遥远的天边,他们甚至还能看到英国故乡,一个更美好的英国…

结束,正是永恒的开始。
