這也許是你從未接觸過的世界,但他們確實存在。
他們拿著老天爺發的一手爛牌,在社會的邊緣成長。他們嘗試融入社會,卻往往得不到回應。人人都以為他們只想鬧事,其實他們只是渴望溫暖與安定。
然而,即使是街頭混混,也有機會成為人人稱頌的英雄……
本書生動刻畫幫派少年掙扎生存的心境,角色形象鮮活,內容不僅充滿了激情、誤解與矛盾,也詮釋了諒解、寬容與認同,更真實反映了階級對立、貧富差距與親子關係改變等社會現象,能自然引導讀者思考愛的真義。

Over 50 years of an iconic classic! This international bestseller and inspiration for a beloved movie is a heroic story of friendship and belonging.
No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he’s got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. And he knows that he can count on his friends--true friends who would do anything for him, like Johnny and Two-Bit. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up on "greasers" like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect--until the night someone takes things too far. The Outsiders is a dramatic and enduring work of fiction that laid the groundwork for the YA genre. S. E. Hinton’s classic story of a boy who finds himself on the outskirts of regular society remains as powerful today as it was the day it was first published. "The Outsiders transformed young-adult fiction from a genre mostly about prom queens, football players and high school crushes to one that portrayed a darker, truer world." --The New York Times"Taut with tension, filled with drama." --The Chicago Tribune"[A] classic coming-of-age book." --Philadelphia Daily NewsA New York Herald Tribune Best Teenage Book
