Former Soviet Secret Service agent Leo Demidov has built himself a new life as a civilian with his wife Raisa, and their two teenage daughters, Elena and Zoya. The Soviet Union is a country trying to reassert itself after the murderous excesses of Stalin and the chaos of the following years, and as the Cold War continues powers inside Russia seek to topple their great enemy, the United States of America. Communist allies within the United States will prove vital players in this game of intrigue and revolution. Raisa and their two daughters travel to the United States on a diplomatic mission, but a horrifying tragedy destroys everything Leo and Raisa have built. Leo must get to the States somehow and find out what happened. Exiled from the Soviet Union and separated from his family, Leo's quest takes him through the stark wilderness of Afghanistan, reawakening all his old instincts and forcing him to confront his demons. But whatever it costs, wherever he must go, he will find Agent 6.
拖了很长时间,终于把Tom Rob Smith的苏联三部曲看完了。想起第一次看《Child 44》,还是在2010年。记得当时我还在读研究生,一直到现在将近有七年时光,期间三部曲的后两本《The Secret Speech》和《Agent 6》陆续出版,而我自己也有幸翻译了简体中文版的[《秘密演讲》]。从读...
評分三部曲終於全部讀完了,伴隨著李奧的一生的悲劇命運仿佛也窺見了那個曾經伴我們走過的時代,李奧對國家的光榮,信仰,質疑,努力抗爭,喪失信心,消極反抗,避俗厭世,也正是千千萬萬個“李奧”曾經走過的一條沒有終點的無盡長路,即便這樣,國家這個怪物最終沒有放過他,他摯...
評分从进化论的角度来说,社会是适者生存,无时无刻存在竞争,竞争的环境让更适合的人存活了下来,所以这些人原则上拥有更多的财富,或者更适合生存进化。但有些人有提到了人与人之间是互助的关系,就像动物种群众之间的关系,因为互助和信任人类得以繁衍。但不管你相信的人类发展...
評分 評分在新华书店买的这本书,还是大概两年前吧,因为怕是平时无聊,所以买了一本比较厚的而且较沉重的书,买回来一看,印刷太次了,直接有好几页都是空白的,这是找出版社换呢还是找书店换呢。本来就晦涩难懂的书,情节上有连贯不起来,这本书要完成阅读还是遥遥无期呀。。。然而这...

评分看完之後隻剩唏噓。無法整理自己的情緒。全書真是扇瞭政治理想主義者無數次臉啊。Raisa死瞭,Leo為瞭查明她死亡的真相花瞭足足16年啊,最後雖然知道瞭真相可他卻因為“通番賣國”入獄。然而他卻讓Zoya、Elena能在蘇聯安穩地結婚生子,甚至讓Nara、Zabi能夠逃離阿富汗在美國過新的生活。 書的前半段寫James Austin來蘇聯參觀及錶演,蘇聯政府為瞭在他麵前裝逼帶他逛指定的商場,連買東西的人都是指定好瞭的"茄哩啡",瞬間讓我聯想起天朝也是這副德行,小時候裝得還少瞭嗎?看到中間稍微覺得沒勁,直到Raisa死開始覺得懸疑,以10倍於前麵的速度閱讀後半段。Leo在阿富汗的經曆看得最心痛。而最後的真相是殺James Austin的不是FBI,而是他一直視為同誌的蘇維埃!搞政治的沒一個好東西
