The Feather Thief pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

"Fascinating from the first page to the last—you won't be able to put it down." —Southern Living

A rollicking true-crime adventure and a thought-provoking exploration of the human drive to possess natural beauty for readers of The Stranger in the Woods, The Lost City of Z, and The Orchid Thief.

On a cool June evening in 2009, after performing a concert at London's Royal Academy of Music, twenty-year-old American flautist Edwin Rist boarded a train for a suburban outpost of the British Museum of Natural History. Home to one of the largest ornithological collections in the world, the Tring museum was full of rare bird specimens whose gorgeous feathers were worth staggering amounts of money to the men who shared Edwin's obsession: the Victorian art of salmon fly-tying. Once inside the museum, the champion fly-tier grabbed hundreds of bird skins—some collected 150 years earlier by a contemporary of Darwin's, Alfred Russel Wallace, who'd risked everything to gather them—and escaped into the darkness.

Two years later, Kirk Wallace Johnson was waist high in a river in northern New Mexico when his fly-fishing guide told him about the heist. He was soon consumed by the strange case of the feather thief. What would possess a person to steal dead birds? Had Edwin paid the price for his crime? What became of the missing skins? In his search for answers, Johnson was catapulted into a years-long, worldwide investigation. The gripping story of a bizarre and shocking crime, and one man's relentless pursuit of justice, The Feather Thief is also a fascinating exploration of obsession, and man's destructive instinct to harvest the beauty of nature.

評分☆☆☆☆☆

有這樣一種寫作，天然具有模糊紀實與虛構的能力，在敘事節奏和懸念設置的催化下，科學與文學，知識與藝術，曆史秘辛與現實生活，真實的犯罪案件與偵探小說像原子般鍵閤在一起，生發齣一場令人目眩神迷的化學嬗變，也令人難以對它下一個簡單明晰的定義。柯剋.華萊士.約翰遜的《...

幾年前，彭浩翔導演的電影《撒嬌女人最好命》裏有一句話曾經風靡全國。隋棠帶著颱灣嗲嗲音說的那句話“兔兔這麼可愛，你怎麼可以吃兔兔？”想必很多人都耳熟能詳，而且覺得很戲謔很無厘頭。而如果說上麵吃兔兔還是戲謔層麵不引人深思的話，那陸川2004年導演的《可可西裏》則...

《遇見天堂鳥》作為一本非虛構文學，卻呈現瞭比虛構還要魔幻的世界。作者以抽絲剝繭的細緻，揭開瞭一段永遠無法說明是非的過往。中文譯名頗具迷惑性（我一度以為此書是介紹瀕危鳥類的被發現與被毀滅）。如果拆下中文外殼，The Feather Thief，這個標題一定會讓你恍然大悟卻又陷...

評分☆☆☆☆☆

The writing is very engaging, I couldn't stop reading, though at the same time, I was so disgusted by the the history of humans pursuing feathers, the crime itself and its aftermath, it was really hard for me to read on at times. I'm glad I didn't give it up because i could hardly stomach it.

I wasn’t expecting a single story, albeit it is well written.
