范达因(S.S.Van Dine),美国推理小说之父,《菲洛·万斯探案集》是他惟一的代表作,也是古典推理小说的集大成之作。他将推理小说中的理性成分演绎到极至,这个成就“前无古人,后无来者”。范达因所撰写的《推理小说二十条守则》是推理小说史上最全面、最完整、最严谨的写作戒律,同时也被奎恩等后来者奉为指导其毕生写作的“圣经”。
1929. Around 1925 Willard Huntington Wright, critic and writer, underwent a long illness. As part of his convalescence he wrote The Benson Murder Case, in which he created the character of Philo Vance, a master sleuth. So that the book would not be compared to his other works he adopted the pseudonym S.S. Van Dine. By the time The Canary Murder Case, the second in the series was published, Van Dine had become a best seller. He wrote a total of six Philo Vance novels. This Philo Vance story begins: Of all the criminal cases in which Philo Vance participated as an unofficial investigator, the most sinister, the most bizarre, the seemingly most incomprehensible, and certainly the most terrifying, was the one that followed the famous Greene murders. The orgy of horror at the old Green mansion had been brought to its astounding close in December; and after the Christmas holidays Vance had gone to Switzerland for the winter sports. Returning to New York at the end of February he had thrown himself into some literary work he had long had in mind-the uniform translation of the principal fragments of Menander found in the Egyptian papyri during the early years of the present century; and for over a month he had devoted himself sedulously to this thankless task.

这书很一般,每次侦探怀疑谁,那个人就死了,到最后涉案人员快死光了,才把案子破了,而且直到最后,侦探也没有掌握什么决定性的证据,仅仅是通过心理学的分析猜测出来的。 不过这书算是童谣杀人鼻祖,作者还提出了20条守则,文中关于科学家都是心理变态的分析也很有意思,为后...
评分 评分很可怜的小说,犯了和《全部变成F》一样的问题(无剧透),就是为了显得作者高深莫测,大篇幅引用不成熟的科学理论。 结果几年以后,这个理论已经很过时、很陈腐、很基本了,小说还摆在那里。新一代读者看了以后,不免觉得:“这作者是傻吗?” 本书中,作者侃侃而谈的潜意识、...
评分这是我读的第一本范达因的推理小说,虽然都是推理小说,但和柯南道尔的福尔摩斯风格迥异。我觉得范达因的《推理小说二十条守则》写的很好,主教杀人事件也很好的诠释了这个守则。在读的过程中,所有的线索都摆在面前,让读者有一种和主角竞赛破案的感觉。 我觉得主...
评分范达因给侦探小说订立的规矩,其最直接后果是侦探小说中的角色们的心理活动无法展示。因为一展示就可能影响解密。 也正是因为这点,个人以为这是大多数侦探小说最大的不幸。没有各种角色们的心理活动,人物就跟扑克牌一般,只是一张作者手中的牌而已。没法赋予他们个性与色彩...
