範達因(S.S.Van Dine),美國推理小說之父,《菲洛·萬斯探案集》是他惟一的代錶作,也是古典推理小說的集大成之作。他將推理小說中的理性成分演繹到極至,這個成就“前無古人,後無來者”。範達因所撰寫的《推理小說二十條守則》是推理小說史上最全麵、最完整、最嚴謹的寫作戒律,同時也被奎恩等後來者奉為指導其畢生寫作的“聖經”。
The story involves a series of murders taking place in a wealthy neighborhood of New York. The first murder, of a Mr. Joseph Cochrane Robin who is found pierced by an arrow, is accompanied by a note signed "The Bishop" with an extract from the nursery rhyme Who Killed Cock Robin. This crime takes place at the home of an elderly physicist with a beautiful young ward and a private archery range. District Attorney Markham finds the circumstances so unusual that he asks his friend Philo Vance to advise upon the psychological aspects of the crime. Further murders connected with the family and neighbours of the physicist are accompanied with similar extracts from Mother Goose, such as the case of Johnny Sprigg, "who was shot through the middle of his wig, wig, wig." Midway through the book, an elderly woman confesses to the crimes, but this possibility is discounted by the police for physical reasons and by Philo Vance for psychological ones. The kidnapping and confinement of a little Miss Moffatt is luckily discovered by Vance and the police before the child suffocates in the closet in which she has been locked. Vance finally realizes the significance of one character's pointed reference to The Pretenders, a play written by Henrik Ibsen. Bishop Arnesson, of Oslo, was a prominent character in Ibsen's play. Vance arranges a spectacular finale in which the criminal is poisoned by a glass of liqueur which that person prepared for another suspect.
看过本书后,对里面的《鹅妈妈童谣》产生了浓厚的兴趣。其实最早看到的《鹅妈妈童谣》是在“推理女王”阿加莎·克里斯蒂的《无人生还》里,那首著名的《十个小黑人》真的吓了我一跳: 十个小黑人 十个小黑人,为了吃饭去奔走;噎死一个没法救,十个...
評分这是我读的第一本范达因的推理小说,虽然都是推理小说,但和柯南道尔的福尔摩斯风格迥异。我觉得范达因的《推理小说二十条守则》写的很好,主教杀人事件也很好的诠释了这个守则。在读的过程中,所有的线索都摆在面前,让读者有一种和主角竞赛破案的感觉。 我觉得主...
評分作为美式推理的代表,范达印在这本书中以冷冷的笔墨,叙述了发生在一群数学家中的杀人案件。 在这种冷冷的笔墨下,《鹅妈妈之歌》作为贯穿全书的主要线索,形成独特的意趣,如阿加莎克里斯蒂《无人生还》中《十个小黑人》一样。 整本书读起来有种抑郁的感觉,对数学家这种目中...
評分很可怜的小说,犯了和《全部变成F》一样的问题(无剧透),就是为了显得作者高深莫测,大篇幅引用不成熟的科学理论。 结果几年以后,这个理论已经很过时、很陈腐、很基本了,小说还摆在那里。新一代读者看了以后,不免觉得:“这作者是傻吗?” 本书中,作者侃侃而谈的潜意识、...
