貝弗利•斯沃林,美國最具人氣的曆史小說傢,對文字的敏感近乎極緻。她的文字大氣而不失細膩,她所設計的情節麯摺而不矯揉,她所塑造的人物韆奇而不陌生,她筆下的故事永遠讓人愛不釋手。
《夢想之城》是斯沃林的處女作,這是一部極具野心的曆史小說,《洛杉磯時報》稱譽《夢想之城》:“這個故事近乎完美,堪稱紐約版《百年孤獨》。”
In 1661, Lucas Turner, a barber surgeon, and his sister, Sally, an apothecary, stagger off a small wooden ship after eleven weeks at sea. Bound to each other by blood and necessity, they aim to make a fresh start in the rough and rowdy Dutch settlement of Nieuw Amsterdam; soon lust, betrayal, and murder will make them mortal enemies. In their struggle to survive in the New World, Lucas and Sally make choices that will burden their descendants with a legacy of secrets and retribution, and create a heritage that sets cousin against cousin, physician against surgeon, and, ultimately, patriot against Tory. In what will be the greatest city in the New World, the fortunes of these two families are inextricably entwined by blood and fire in an unforgettable American saga of pride and ambition, love and hate, and the becoming of the dream that is New York City.

評分作為一個文科生,我的曆史卻一嚮不好,翻開看不進,看過記不住,記住又忘掉。但是,看以真實曆史為背景的小說時,隨著情節的發展、人物的際遇,曆史會潤物細無聲地進入腦海,這便是我讀《夢想之城》的初衷。 《夢想之城》以美國曆史做背景,以傢族的發展與糾纏做著眼點,從1661...

評分這個故事既單純卻又復雜。它單純,因為是一個移民世傢兩個傢族七代人的故事;它復雜,因為這故事在講訴紐約市的那段變遷史實,還有那個年代醫學發展的縮影。 理發師盧卡斯,又是瘍醫,因為當時不願遵守當時的墨定規則,非常規手段非法行醫,被英國瘍醫們排擠,落魄倫敦街頭而...
