Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history--performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life.
So Tom moves back to London, his old home, to become a high school history teacher--the perfect job for someone who has witnessed the city's history first hand. Better yet, a captivating French teacher at his school seems fascinated by him. But the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society's watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him. Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present.
Matt Haig was born in Sheffield, England in1975. He writes books for both adults and children, often blending the worlds of domestic reality and outright fantasy, with a quirky twist. His bestselling novels are translated into 28 languages. The Guardian has described his writing as 'delightfully weird' and the New York Times has called him 'a novelist of great talent' whose writing is 'funny, riveting and heartbreaking'.
His novels for adults are The Last Family in England, narrated by a labrador and optioned for film by Brad Pitt; The Dead Fathers Club (2006), an update of Hamlet featuring an 11-year-old boy; The Possession of Mr Cave (2008), about a man obsessed with his daughter's safety, and The Radleys (2010) which won Channel 4's TV Book Club public vote and was shortlisted for a Galaxy National Book Award (UK). The film rights to all his adult novels have been sold. His next adult novel is The Humans (2013).
His multi-award winning popular first novel for children, Shadow Forest, was published in 2007 and its sequel, The Runaway Troll, in 2009. His most recent children's novel is To Be A Cat (2012).
似乎大部分探討人生意義的書,最後都會歸結到同樣的一句話:活在當下。說起來容易,但Tom Hazard活瞭四百多年還是沒做到。 全書有點虎頭蛇尾,越寫到後來越勉強,Tom對Camille的愛意莫名其妙,然後匆匆一槍突然就結局瞭。

长生不老,是我们人类的一个长久追求。 从古代的炼药求仙,到现代的信息科技的发展,都没有放弃这一愿望。活到一百岁、两百岁,甚至四百岁是一个怎样的体验呢? 汤姆·哈泽德可以回答这个问题,因为他已经活了439岁了。他出生在法国的一座小城堡的三楼,确切的时间是1581年3月3...
評分乱七八糟的一点浅思。 从作品来说部分情节是非常吸引文学女孩的设置,和莎士比亚的交情,以及和菲兹杰拉德的相遇,实在是太过奇妙有趣。 关于爱情“有人说,只要你有过真正的爱情,在爱逝去后,任何人都无法和当时的爱人相提并论。”四百年来都在爱一个人是什么样的感受,爱过...
