For Kivrin, preparing an on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received.
But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin -- barely of age herself -- finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours.
Five years in the writing by one of science fiction's most honored authors, Doomsday Book is a storytelling triumph. Connie Willis draws upon her understanding of the universalities of human nature to explore the ageless issues of evil, suffering and the indomitable will of the human spirit.
Connie Willis is an established author of many science fiction books, including THE DOOMSDAY BOOK, and winner of both the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award for best sf novel.

作为一部顶着双奖光环的科幻小说,末日之门给了我多年未有的阅读体验:读到一半时,恨不得把作者揪出来扇俩大耳刮子。我写下本书评,以提醒后来的读者,不要被首页清一色的五星书评骗了,节省下你生命中宝贵的几个小时,去干点别的事吧 小字体,大开本,400多页,末日之书属于...
评分其实这本书不适合翻译成中文 一个部头太大,我手上拿的英文版是很小的字居然也要450页 我翻的那点只有8页不到…… 另一个是中间夹杂不少中古英语原文,这个怎么搞?翻成文言文?看都看不懂嘞 所以这只是个坑,呵呵,大家别指望能填满啊 :) 推荐去看原著! ---------------...
评分严格来讲,科幻大师不是随便叫的。美国科幻奇幻作家协会(SFWA)每年在星云奖颁奖典礼上颁发“达蒙·奈特纪念大师奖”(Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award)给一位在世的科幻奇幻作家,以表彰他/她的终身成就。迄今为止,一共有二十六位作家获颁“大师奖”,包括了我们...

感兴趣
评分历史小说。适合读两遍,第一遍速度看剧情,第二遍慢下来读细节。我第一遍细读的时候到了一半很焦躁...
评分疫情以来第一本读完的书,至少读书的能力恢复了。给四星是因为的确是本值得一读的好书,理性一点应该给高分,但是直到70%以前,这本书读起来都很气闷很啰嗦。对中世纪详尽的描写是好的,对现代抗疫流程描写详尽也可以理解,但,可不可以不要把读者当白痴,明显的很直白的那几条线索可不可以不要重复五遍以上?一生气真的想三星最多了,但是,如果这本书教了我什么,那就是在一场大瘟疫中,每个人都可能是非理性的,又是可原谅的。因为最后大家都死了(误)。
评分所以还是给看完了
评分Sometimes you do everything you can, and you still can't save them. Nothing, not the Black Death or seven hundred years, could seperate us from God.
