本来以为是达芬奇密码之类的风格。看了以后,玄疑倒是玄疑。但是过于平淡的。话说回来,这可真是“历史学家”的风格。在故纸堆里面寻找历史的蛛丝马迹,完全是一封信借着一封信,整本书用的引号估计创纪录了。对于读者来说可能有点枯燥,当然喜欢考据的一定不会这样想。到了一...

评分文/Jeff 一、 永生,我想是每个人幻想的一种状态。几千年来,对于死亡的恐惧,从来不曾随着时代的变迁,世代的更替,而从人类的心的最深处消逝。远古的祖先,在第一次面对死亡来临,或者说第一次有意识地感到死亡的恐惧时,那种惊慌失措应该是多么的强烈。从那一刻开始,只要...
评分前一段时间看完了一个朋友推荐看的小说《the Historian》,一直没有时间写些感受。 今天随手翻来,还是简单的写几句吧。书里讲一个关于吸血鬼的故事。自己只知道市面上有很多关于吸血鬼的电影,说老实话,我是一部也没看过。但听朋友说起这本书的时候,没有表现出一丝的恐惧情...
评分现代的流行文化很容易给人一种错觉,大学里的学者都是那么的英俊或是美丽、机敏或是勇敢、强壮或是风雅。那些冷僻领域的研究人员,又都是那么的独领风骚傲视群雄。正当我因为在大学里找不到这样一位传奇英雄而困惑的时候,《历史学家》帮助我解开了迷思。面对历史,我们一...
图书标签: 英文原版 小说 vampire Dracula 悬疑 TheHistorian Historian 英国文学
Late one night, exploring ther father's library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters addressed ominously to 'My dear and unfortunate successor'. Her discovery plunges her into a world she never dreamed of - a labyrinth where the secrets of her father's past and her mother's mysterious fate connect to an evil hiden in the depths of history.
Comments on this book:
Some stories can be told again in endlessly different ways. Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian combines a search for the historical Dracula with a profound sense that Stoker got some things right--that the late Mediaeval tyrant kills among us yet, undead and dangerous. From Stoker, she also takes a sense that the supernatural seems more real when embedded in documentary evidence.
Three generations search for Dracula's resting place, and their stories are nested within each other, so that we know that at least two quests ended badly. Kostova rations her thrills very carefully so that we jump out of our chair at quite slight surprises, especially when we have come to expect buckets of blood and loud bangs. She also has a profound and well-communicated sense of place and period, so that the book is equally at home in 1930s Rumania, Cold War Budapest and 1970s Oxford. Kostova is particularly good on the sights and sounds of remote country places and the taste of real peasant food--this sensuous realism does not always go with her other skill, the creation of imagined documents and folksongs that feel as real and true as what might be actual.
This is a quietly good book rather than a spectacular debut, with some uncomfortable twists in its tail; her heroine-narrators are, and perhaps remain, in the most serious of jeopardies. ---Roz Kaveney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
