引人入胜的情节,书信中穿插着记叙,跟着作者横跨欧洲,追踪史上最有文化的吸血鬼伯爵,回望中世纪血雨腥风的历史。 起初在梁文道的《读者》里看到他介绍这本书,再加上颇喜欢和吸血鬼有关的作品,于是就没有犹豫的买来看,结果是被这本书内容吸引的忘了时间、忘了场合。 1.对...
评分一开始买这本书,还以为自己是购买了一本类似探索杂志或者科学解迷一类的书,是冲着吸血鬼这个有趣的话题去的,不过,事实上,它是一本小说。 如果按我们的历史观来看,也许我会说,这是一个虚构的故事。可是在看完了以后的历史观来看,我又在想,我怎么敢说,这样的故事是虚构...
评分旧文新发。主题散漫 近日,观海西流行小说界再起吸血鬼风潮,我也顺便翻了翻《The Historian》与《Twilight》系列。电子书确实让人看着头疼,不过英语还是有了点提高。尤其推荐《The Historian》,遣词和行文充满了维多利亚时代风格,muy 复古, muy怀旧,喜欢福尔...
评分这其实不是一本“很好看”的小说,我是指如果你的阅读速度很快,短篇小说两个小时能搞定,长篇小说最多也只要两天,那么它大概不适合你。这是一本需要静下心来,读一段停一停的小说。 对《历史学家》感兴趣完全是因为《达·芬奇密码》,《达·芬奇密码》登上美国畅销书排行榜...

To you, perceptive reader, I bequeath my history....Late one night, exploring her father's library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters. The letters are all addressed to "My dear and unfortunate successor," and they plunge 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 inconceivable evil hidden in the depths of history.The letters provide links to one of the darkest powers that humanity has ever known-and to a centuries-long quest to find the source of that darkness and wipe it out. It is a quest for the truth about Vlad the Impaler, the medieval ruler whose barbarous reign formed the basis of the legend of Dracula. Generations of historians have risked their reputations, their sanity, and even their lives to learn the truth about Vlad the Impaler and Dracula. Now one young woman must decide whether to take up this quest herself-to follow her father in a hunt that nearly brought him to ruin years ago, when he was a vibrant young scholar and her mother was still alive. What does the legend of Vlad the Impaler have to do with the modern world? Is it possible that the Dracula of myth truly existed-and that he has lived on, century after century, pursuing his own unknowable ends? The answers to these questions cross time and borders, as first the father and then the daughter search for clues, from dusty Ivy League libraries to Istanbul, Budapest, and the depths of Eastern Europe. In city after city, in monasteries and archives, in letters and in secret conversations, the horrible truth emerges about Vlad the Impaler's dark reign-and about a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive down through the ages.Parsing obscure signs and hidden texts, reading codes worked into the fabric of medieval monastic traditions-and evading the unknown adversaries who will go to any lengths to conceal and protect Vlad's ancient powers-one woman comes ever closer to the secret of her own past and a confrontation with the very definition of evil. Elizabeth Kostova's debut novel is an adventure of monumental proportions, a relentless tale that blends fact and fantasy, history and the present, with an assurance that is almost unbearably suspenseful-and utterly unforgettable.
哎,以后不要多看這些女性作家了。她們yy的成份太重。看著很不舒服。就和讀《The Virgin Blue》時一個感覺。
