This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides -- or are chosen. A world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abigail -- and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark man. In 1978 Stephen King published "The Stand," the novel that is now considered to be one of his finest works. But as it was first published, "The Stand" was incomplete, since more than 150,000 words had been cut from the original manuscript. Now Stephen King's apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil has been restored to its entirety. "The Stand": "The Complete And Uncut Edition" includes more than five hundred pages of material previously deleted, along with new material that King added as he reworked the manuscript for a new generation. It gives us new characters and endows familiar ones with new depths. It has a new beginning and a new ending. What emerges is a gripping work with the scope and moral comlexity of a true epic. For hundreds of thousands of fans who read "The Stand" in its original version and wanted more, this new edition is Stephen King's gift. And those who are reading "The Stand" for the first time will discover a triumphant and eerily plausible work of the imagination that takes on the issues that will determine our survival.
斯蒂芬·金1947年出生于美国缅因州一贫困家庭。在州立大学学习英国文学。毕业后因工资菲薄而走上写作之路。70年代中期声名渐起,被《纽约时报》誉为“现代恐怖小说大师”。自80年代至90年代以来,历年的美国畅销书排行榜,他的小说总是名列榜首,久居不下。他是当今世界上读者最多、声名最大的美国小说家。他的每一部作品,都成为好莱坞制片商的抢手货。1979年,在他32岁时,成为全世界作家中首屈一指的亿万富翁。今天,他的每部作品的版税,均逾千万美金之巨。 金的作品,超越于传统的恐怖小说。他不靠具体的意象来获得恐怖效果,而是通过对事件气氛的营造来震慑读者。金用他那魔鬼般的手指一拨,所有紧绷的心弦都为之轰响,在一阵惊悸又一阵心跳中,带你进入颤栗的深渊。 “对我来说,最佳的效果是读者在阅读我的小说时因心脏病发作而死去。
I was really pissed off by this book. It took me so much time just because i was so triggered by its frigging beginning. Then it started to move onto some fucking crap about"bad dreams/good dreams". and what's worst, in order to thicken the book, King even...
评分这跟魔戒相比?还有更可笑的赞誉吗?斯蒂芬金是一个善于围绕事物深入描绘的作者,他的能力在于人物构造细节构造,这是他的优点,也使得他写的东西丰满、有内容,从篇幅来看,这种写史诗的精神确实可以让人明白为什么他可以赢得大众欢心,因为像这种始终“足料”的小说家可能是...
评分 评分这本书1300页,按照1小时读40页的速度,花了30个小时,持续两个星期。 天知道,如果看其他书,三本都看完了。 斯蒂芬金的书,短篇中篇绝对是精品,因为他也知道,要把冲突矛盾在很短的篇幅表现出来,就不可能灌水,所有的灵感爆发都在短短的篇幅,而长篇则随意加入注水情节,就...
评分这本书实在是太长,太长,太长太长太长了。我独自看电子版,事先不知道!读了几个晚上之后,我就想放弃了。因为我本来想着让它助眠,恐怖小说对我来说没有什么害怕的地方,我依然有把握,按时睡去,一宿无眠,但我没有想到的是它的无聊。 开头的病毒侵袭人类还算精彩,可惜就拖...
The only epic I've ever enjoyed reading...Extended cut has a really ponderous ending but this book comes highly recommended for lovers of sci fi and adventure.
评分斯蒂芬金真的太能写了,开头人物真的好多,多条线穿插,到后面情节逐渐浮现出来,多个主要人物因相同的梦汇集到了一起。说实话,这本书没有想象的恐怖,就是有些场景描写地有点血腥暴力,特别有画面感。(这本书是我看过的最长的一本英文书了,特别厚,看了两个月,今天终于看完了!)
