Stephen Edwin King (born September 21, 1947) is an American author, screenwriter, columnist, actor, producer and director. Having sold over 350 million copies of his books, King is best known for his work in horror fiction, which demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the genre's history. He has also written science fiction, fantasy, short-fiction, non-fiction, screenplays, teleplays and stageplays. Many of his stories have been adapted for other media, including movies, television series, and comic books. King has written a number of books using the pen name Richard Bachman and one short story where he was credited as John Swithen. In 2003 he received The National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
Set in the 1930s at the Cold Mountain Penitentiary's death-row facility, "The Green Mile" is the riveting and tragic story of John Coffey, a giant, preternaturally gentle inmate condemned to death for the rape and murder of twin nine-year-old girls. It is a story narrated years later by Paul Edgecomb, the ward superintendent compelled to help every prisoner spend his last days peacefully and every man walk the green mile to execution with his humanity intact. Edgecomb has sent seventy-eight inmates to their date with "old sparky," but he's never encountered one like Coffey -- a man who wants to die, yet has the power to heal. And in this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecomb discovers the terrible truth about Coffey's gift, a truth that challenges his most cherished beliefs -- and ours. Originally published in 1996 in six self-contained monthly installments, "The Green Mile" is an astonishingly rich and complex novel that delivers over and over again. Each individual volume became a huge success when first published, and all six were on the "New York Times" bestseller list simultaneously. Three years later, when Frank Darabont made "The Green Mile" into an award-winning movie starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan, the book returned to the bestseller list -- and stayed there for months. And now -- with a new introduction by King's foreign agent Ralph Vicinanza, as well as the author's own foreword -- we have the first hardcover edition of this magnificent novel in which "King surpasses our expectations, leaves us spellbound and hungry for the next twist of plot" "(The Boston Globe)." With illustrations and a new frontispiece for this edition by Mark Geyer.

評分“我们都得死,没有例外,这我知道,但上帝啊,有时候,这条绿里真的太长了。” 斯蒂芬•金用小说主人公老狱卒保罗•埃奇康比带着些许厌倦的一句话,结束了《绿里奇迹》。几年前,在看根据小说改编的同名电影时,曾经被迈克尔•克拉克•邓肯饰演的神奇大个子黑...
評分“我的大个子!” 当在《绿里奇迹》这部小说即将结束的时候,读到这句话,心中真是一酸呀。这个故事是探讨爱与死亡的。这不是一个新话题,但它却是一个好故事。当你相对别人施爱的时候,别人可能会对你误解,甚至会置你于死地。这本小说就在说这个。 这个故事被改编成电影是很...
