Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history--performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life.

So Tom moves back to London, his old home, to become a high school history teacher--the perfect job for someone who has witnessed the city's history first hand. Better yet, a captivating French teacher at his school seems fascinated by him. But the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society's watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him. Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present.

读后感

首先，我是因为Benedict Cumberbatch才关注到本书的。 在FB上，每一天我都关注这他的大大小小的新闻和最新的照片。在2018年的某一天，我关注到BC的粉丝账号，发出了关于这本书的信息，据说BC也买下了版权，并即将进行影视制作。 这些我都不是特别关注，我好奇，好奇为何他会对...  

如果说汤姆·哈泽德的孤独是一场罗曼蒂克的行为艺术，那么他的爱情，则是勇气可嘉的存在主义哲学。 许是因汤姆·哈泽德（《时光边缘的男人》主人公）身为“时间逆行者”的特质，不管“缓慢衰老”是上帝的眷顾还是惩戒，他都是岁月变迁的“漏网之鱼”。他的外表似乎对时间免疫，...

用户评价

披着科幻外衣，讲 寻找自我+爱情的文艺小说。 not my type

听说卷福在本书未出版前就买下了版权，决定将其拍摄成电影。我很好奇到底是怎样的一本书能有这么大的魔力。于是找来看看，看之前并没有很高的期望。但是看完后，感觉一般。语言很简单，很有表现力，最后开枪的情景到现在（看完已经有一个多月了）还有模糊的印象。只是整本书都以主人公的爱情作为主线让我感觉有点闷，内心活动却是描写得不错，但我觉得对我而言，视角稍微窄了点。英语初学者可以拿来读读，找找成就感。

和我想象的故事其实不太一样，活的很久的人也有他们的烦恼 这是我之前没有想过的，听的有声书 很有趣 最后传达的信息也很好

An interesting setting, a shitty story, some cliche plots, quite a few beautiful sentences

在一个立秋后的雷雨清晨，终于将这本读完。真是一场有关时间的美妙体验，后续写一篇长文来做读书笔记。
