伊丽莎白·科斯托娃 (Elizabeth Kostova),相继毕业于美国耶鲁大学和密歇根大学,获密歇根大学艺术硕士。《历史学家》是伊丽莎白·科斯托娃历时十年精心创作的处女作小说,作者在密歇根大学创作斯间即获得霍普沃德小说创作奖(Hopwood Award for the Novel-in-Progress ),也因为此书,获得二00五年度美国“羽毛笔”图书奖(Quill Book Awards)最佳新人奖。
Breathtakingly suspenseful and beautifully written, The Historian is the story of a young woman plunged into a labyrinth where the secrets of her family's past connect to an inconceivable evil: the dark fifteenth-century reign of Vlad the Impaler and a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive through the ages. The search for the truth becomes an adventure of monumental proportions, taking us from monasteries and dusty libraries to the capitals of Eastern Europe - in a feat of storytelling so rich, so hypnotic, so exciting that it has enthralled readers around the world.
"Never was a ghost story so casually erudite, nor a historical travelogue such gripping entertainment." ---New York Magazine
"Impossible to resist. . . . Kostova blends fact and fantasy to remind us that the original Dracula legend is rooted in monstrous acts of unblinking evil." ---Miami Herald
"A richly told story about family and the dark side of human nature. . . . This cry of the heart will appeal to readers beyond those who are drawn by a fascaination with the legend of Dracula." ---Chicago Tribune
"Genuinely terrifying." ---Boston Globe
"Nearly impossible to put down once you crack the spine. . . . It won't take you long to get to the end." ---Houston Chronicle
引人入胜的情节,书信中穿插着记叙,跟着作者横跨欧洲,追踪史上最有文化的吸血鬼伯爵,回望中世纪血雨腥风的历史。 起初在梁文道的《读者》里看到他介绍这本书,再加上颇喜欢和吸血鬼有关的作品,于是就没有犹豫的买来看,结果是被这本书内容吸引的忘了时间、忘了场合。 1.对...
评分 评分旧文新发。主题散漫 近日,观海西流行小说界再起吸血鬼风潮,我也顺便翻了翻《The Historian》与《Twilight》系列。电子书确实让人看着头疼,不过英语还是有了点提高。尤其推荐《The Historian》,遣词和行文充满了维多利亚时代风格,muy 复古, muy怀旧,喜欢福尔...
评分看到第三十六章,开始时候的兴趣逐渐消失,期待揭开谜题,不想读下去了,觉得小说速度控制得不是特别好,太绕了
评分把它当游记看,通过西方人猎奇的视角看东方(主要东欧和土耳其),就会发现即使视野再宽广,文献阅读量再惊人,也脱离不开意识形态的根深蒂固。另外,历史是踏着生命划过的,所到之处都是卑微的尸骨,尘归尘、土归土。
评分真心好看啊
评分看了两年啊。。。看到后来名字都记得稀里糊涂了。。。
