In this riveting new novel, best-selling author John Darnton transports us to Victorian England and around the world to reveal the secrets of a legendary nineteenth-century figure. Darnton elegantly blends the power of fact and the insights of fiction to explore the many mysteries attached to the life and work of Charles Darwin.
What led Darwin to the theory of evolution? Why did he wait twenty-two years to write On the Origin of Species? Why was he incapacitated by mysterious illnesses and frightened of travel? Who was his secret rival? These are some of the questions driving Darnton’s richly dramatic narrative, which unfolds through three vivid points of view: Darwin’s own as he sails around the world aboard the Beagle; his daughter Lizzie’s as she strives to understand the guilt and fear that struck her father at the height of his fame; and that of present-day anthropologist Hugh Kellem and Darwin scholar Beth Dulicmer, whose obsession with Darwin (and with each other) drives them beyond the accepted boundaries of scholarly research. What Hugh and Beth discover–Lizzie’s diaries and letters lead them to a hidden chapter of Darwin’s autobiography–is a maze of bitter rivalries, petty deceptions, and jealously guarded secrets, at the heart of which lies the birth of the theory of evolution.
With The Darwin Conspiracy, John Darnton again delivers a stunning tapestry of history and imagination, a galvanizing novel.
世上什么谎言最可信?半真半假的谎言可信度最高。 从以历史人物为蓝本的完全虚构小说《隐之书》,到以历史名画为媒介重新诠释宗教故事的《达芬奇密码》,再到如今以真实历史人物形象出现的《达尔文的阴谋》,这些个历史悬疑小说中,掺杂的历史史实是越来越多,可信度也跟着水...
評分历史背景坚实?达尔文暂且不说,把华莱士描写成一个惟利是图的奸恶之辈,不知是否历史真实?如果不是,那就涉嫌污蔑诽谤了。总觉得对历史真实人物的艺术创造不该是这样的。
評分昨天去图书馆借了5本书回来看,什么类型的都有,其中一本小说叫做《达尔文的阴谋》,是美国当代作家约翰.丹顿的作品;因为感觉自己知识和阅历尚浅无法理解,我很少看当代的作品的,国外的就更少了,这次也算是个尝试,在图书馆里翻看这本书的时候觉得翻译很好很易懂,于是就...
評分 評分最近在读的书都是双线结构 这种结构的用意和好处 常读书的人都很清楚 但是这本书首先从结构上就感觉蹩脚 一条线以现代的休为主人公 一条线 掺杂了第三人称叙述达尔文小猎犬号上的经历+达尔文女儿的日记 意图很明显 一条线是后世人揭开重重迷雾找寻真相 另一条线是以当时的发展...
