Truly deserving of the accolade a modern classic, Donna Tartt’s novel is a remarkable achievement—both compelling and elegant, dramatic and playful.
Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality their lives are changed profoundly and forever, and they discover how hard it can be to truly live and how easy it is to kill.
Donna Tartt is an American writer who received critical acclaim for her first two novels, The Secret History and The Little Friend, which have been translated into thirty languages. Tartt was the 2003 winner of the WH Smith Literary Award for The Little Friend. Her novel The Goldfinch won the Pulitzer Prize in 2014.
The daughter of Don and Taylor Tartt, she was born in Greenwood, Mississippi but raised 32 miles away in Grenada, Mississippi. At age five, she wrote her first poem, and she first saw publication in a Mississippi literary review at age 13.
Enrolling in the University of Mississippi in 1981, she pledged to the sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma. Her writing caught the attention of Willie Morris while she was a freshman. Following a recommendation from Morris, Barry Hannah, then an Ole Miss Writer-in-Residence, admitted Tartt into his graduate short story course where, stated Hannah, she ranked higher than the graduate students. Following the suggestion of Morris and others, she transferred to Bennington College in 1982, where she was friends with fellow students Bret Easton Ellis, Jill Eisenstadt, and Jonathan Lethem. At Bennington she studied classics with Claude Fredericks.
She divides her time between Virginia and New York City.
这本书我看了中文版之后,又在网上订购了英文平装版和精装版 我因为这本书对“重现经典”系列很有好感 回想起这本书脑子里会回放处他们在弗朗西斯家的别墅的那段。每次看到这段我心中都会隐隐不安,或者说我在看书的前半部时都是隐隐不安,原因大概就是朱利安在课上所说的...
评分第二次这么不眠不休不记得自己在哪里不记得吃饭的读这么一本书,第一本是《追风筝的人》,第二本是她的《金翅雀》,第三本就是《The secret history》。 我只想谈谈亨利为什么自杀: 第一,我也翻了前面的一些影评。也就是说,亨利把朱利安视作自己的精神领袖,甚至自己的父亲...
评分我得说这个中文译名拉低了整部小说的层次,搞得好像个网络言情或者艳情小说一样。原书的英文名The Secret History还是相当拉风的,正如书的封面上那个不知名的希腊雕塑一样,神秘暗黑的风格弥漫了当时的全美畅销书榜。 这是本书作者Donna Tartt的处女作,主要内容是讲述者Rich...

小卷推荐~ 悬疑与古典文化这样的题材我喜欢!纠结要不要先看同是小卷推荐的the Fountainhead最终还是选择这本。各种在线版本均有错别字非常闹心。因这本DL了电脑和瘦鸡的mobi阅读器现在看得好舒心~对比亚马逊mobi版我才发现网上其他版本的错误是如此离谱!男猪家乡Plano硬是被弄成Piano!我还奇怪加州怎么有个叫Piano的地方!这群孩纸除了吃喝玩乐偶尔杀个人然后纠结一番就没其他事了啊。。不过故事还是很引人入胜让我放不下来。Francis亲Richard看得我狼血沸腾!看了就放不下来,虽然期间一度对越来越靡费混沌的纠结有点乏味,但还是想快快看到结局,所以用了两三天就看完了。确实是一个残酷青春物语,语言流畅简明没有想象中难。
评分动人心魄。
评分I was disappointed after reading this 500-page novel. A good novel, in my view, needs to contain vivid images that the readers can actually “see”, or to delve into the most intricate parts of human heart that the reader can actually “feel”. But this novel failed to achieve both of them.
评分学术女冷艳高贵的调调啊,最喜欢了。我看过最好的coming-of-age小说。
评分当代文学中罕见的详尽无遗的线性叙事,气宗。
