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.

看過日本作傢佐野洋子的繪本《活瞭一百萬次的貓》,他活瞭一百萬次,死瞭一百萬次,生命變得不再是生命的意義,最後落入瞭虛無。活著最後變成瞭不斷的變化,最後一次,貓幸福地死去,不再復活,因為它愛瞭,愛過,它的身體變得柔軟,生命又迴歸到瞭最初的意義。 看《時光邊緣的...

信天翁壽命很長,可是又稱作“笨鳥”,因為它們的棲息地是海洋,在陸地上它們十分的馴順。 在信天翁社會裏誰都不得不接受海德裏希的操縱與控製,就像是一直飛沒有腳不能降落休息的鳥兒一樣,生命注定不能自由。很多古人都希望通過煉丹飛升成仙,能青春永駐。可是活得那麼久真的...

長生不老,是我們人類的一個長久追求。 從古代的煉藥求仙,到現代的信息科技的發展,都沒有放棄這一願望。活到一百歲、兩百歲,甚至四百歲是一個怎樣的體驗呢? 湯姆·哈澤德可以迴答這個問題,因為他已經活瞭439歲瞭。他齣生在法國的一座小城堡的三樓,確切的時間是1581年3月3...

披著科幻外衣,講 尋找自我+愛情的文藝小說。 not my type

评分

似乎大部分探討人生意義的書,最後都會歸結到同樣的一句話:活在當下。說起來容易,但Tom Hazard活瞭四百多年還是沒做到。 全書有點虎頭蛇尾,越寫到後來越勉強,Tom對Camille的愛意莫名其妙,然後匆匆一槍突然就結局瞭。

评分

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

看完就會明白<夜訪吸血鬼>裏麵,為什麼Lestat會嫌Louise絮絮叨叨的煩死個人
