Book Description
An Intricate Tale of Murder And the Mind's Most Dangerous Mysteries
On a hot summer night in 1909, Sigmund Freud - already world famous and highly controversial - disembarks in New York from a steamship, joined by his rival Carl Jung. Among those waiting to greet him is Dr. Stratham Younger, a gifted physician who is one of Freud's most ardent American supporters. And so begins the visit that will be the great genius's first - and only - journey to America.
The morning after Freud's arrival, in an opulent penthouse across the city, a barely clad, beautiful woman is discovered murdered - whipped, mutilated, and strangled with a white silk tie. The next day, a rebellious heiress named Nora Acton barely escapes the same fate. When lovely Miss Acton, suffering from hysteria, cannot recall the terrifying incident, Dr. Younger calls on Freud to guide him through the girl's analysis. As he is drawn into her story, Younger comes to care deeply for this remarkable young woman and joins a murder investigation that leads throughout New York, from the grand ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria to the bottom of the East River, where laborers are working on the new Manhattan Bridge.
The Interpretation of Murder is an elegantly wrought entertainment filled with delicious surprises, subtle sleights of hand, and fascinating ideas. Drawing on Freud's case histories, Shakespeare's Hamlet, and the history of New York, this richly satisfying novel marks the debut of a brilliantly engaging new storyteller.

首先,要对作者鲁本菲尔德深深致敬。在小说的情节方面,可以明晰地见到作者在幕后下的功夫,在大量深入的研究基础上,才能比较忠实地再现上世纪初纽约的风貌。(虽然中文译本实在是没有完整地诠释出鲁本菲尔德此书文字中渗透出的涵养与文化气息,但也只能容忍了) 《谋杀的...
評分谋杀是小说永远的主题,但讨论谋杀的小说总也很难被推为经典, 从稍近的《达芬奇密码》、《但丁俱乐部》到最近的《我的名字叫红》和《谋杀的解析》皆是如此。最近的这两本小说里,我推荐后者。 也许前者从形式上更具"先锋"特色,多种视角交错的手法证明作者在技巧上向卡尔维诺...
評分“近乎赤裸的尸体躺在地板上,身上有青紫色的伤痕,双眼紧闭,浓密的黑发散拨在富有东方情调的精美地毯上。”一场所谓的“谋杀案”开始了…… 这是一本侦探与心理学相结合的小说。虽然是小说,但是从作者的后记可以看出这是在真实基础上的虚拟,主人公也有着相似的原型。书中以...
評分作为侦探小说,《谋杀的解析》去掉最高分和最低分,恐怕是难以及格的。作为一般的游戏规则,如果把侦探小说的作者看成一位牌手,读者应该是坐在他身后的旁观者,看着他把一手牌以出乎意料的方式排列组合,表现出令人惊叹的想象力,最后以令人叹为观止的方式完成定约。也就是说...
