In this riveting new novel, bestselling author John Darnton transports us to Victorian England and around the world to reveal the secrets of a legendary nineteenth-century figure. Darnton elegantly blends the power of fact and the insights of fiction to explore the many mysteries attached to the life and work of Charles Darwin.

What led Darwin to the theory of evolution? Why did he wait twenty-two years to write On the Origin of Species? Why was he incapacitated by mysterious illnesses and frightened of travel? Who was his secret rival? These are some of the questions driving Darnton’s richly dramatic narrative, which unfolds through three vivid points of view: Darwin’s own as he sails around the world aboard the Beagle; his daughter Lizzie’s as she strives to understand the guilt and fear that struck her father at the height of his fame; and that of present-day anthropologist Hugh Kellem and Darwin scholar Beth Dulcimer, whose obsession with Darwin (and with each other) drives them beyond the accepted boundaries of scholarly research. What Hugh and Beth discover - Lizzie’s diaries and letters lead them to a hidden chapter of Darwin’s autobiography - is a maze of bitter rivalries, petty deceptions, and jealously guarded secrets, at the heart of which lies the birth of the theory of evolution.

读后感

估计是跟风《达芬奇密码》，这本书毫无新意，采用双向叙述，一边是男主角，一边是达尔文的小女儿，剧情铺垫不够，剧情拖沓，没有可读的点，让人想睡觉。很难想象达尔文的事情和男主角有什么相关联的的。毫无想象力，没有可读性，看到一半就不想看的小说。

看得好累，文中的几条线索反过来，转过去，时不时地挑战我大条的神经。看书的时候，LD和好友在阳朔的各家小店中兴奋地购物，我守在门口看这本书。 看的途中，曾有想过，不要再看下去了，又没有阴谋，又没有爱情，没有暴力。但是止不住的就是想，究竟是怎么回事？ 从这点来看...  

只看这4000字就够了,不必费劲看其它26万字.我只是死抗着看完了前面那些字.这4000字就说明的达尔文的阴谋是什么.其实这不是个阴谋,因为RM死的时候达尔文并不是不想救他,只是自身难保. 作者似乎想层层深入,如抽丝剥茧般揭开那个所谓的大阴谋,可惜他没做到.前面的铺垫丝毫...
