(詳細はJohn Boyle O'Reilly. It is loosely based on the life of the Western Australian convict escapee and bushranger Moondyne Joe. O'Reilly was a Fenian revolutionary who was transported as a convict to Western Australia. During his time in Western Australia's penal system he would have heard many stories of Moondyne Joe's exploits, although it almost certain that the two men never met. After thirteen months in Western Australia, O'Reilly escaped the colony on board the American whaling ship ''Gazelle''. He arrived in America in 1869 and settled in Boston, where he established himself as a respected journalist, newspaper editor, novelist and poet. In 1913, film director W. J. Lincoln made a silent film of the same name. == Publication details == The novel ''Moondyne'' originally appeared as a serial in O'Reilly's newspaper ''The Pilot'' in 1878, under the title ''Moondyne Joe''. Applauded by critics, it was published and republished under a variety of titles including: * ''Moondyne Joe: A Story from the Underworld''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://books.google.com.au/books?id=lSeRJyPFyEEC&lpg=PP1&ots=IMJ184TK-b&dq=Moondyne%20Joe%3A%20A%20Story%20from%20the%20Underworld&pg=PR5#v=onepage&q=Moondyne%20Joe:%20A%20Story%20from%20the%20Underworld&f=false )〕 * ''Moondyne: A Tale of Convict Life in Western Australia''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moondyne; a story of convict life in Australia (ca. 1909?) )〕 * ''Moondyne: A Story of Life in West Australia'' * ''Moondyne: An Australian Tale'' * ''Moondyne, or, The Mystery of Mr Wyville'' * ''The Golden Secret, or Bond and Free'' * ''The Moondyne'' * ''A Tale of Bush and Convict Life'' * ''An Múindín'' (Irish-language translation, 1931). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moondyne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
