DESCRIPTION: In this riveting debut of breathtaking scope, a young girl discovers her father's darkest secret and embarks on a harrowing journey across Europe to complete the quest he never could -- to find history's most legendary fiend: Dracula. When a motherless American girl living in Europe finds a medieval book and a package of letters, all addressed ominously to "My dear and unfortunate successor..." she begins to unravel a thread that leads back to her father's past, his mentor's career, and an evil hidden in the depths of history. In those few quiet moments, she unwittingly assumes a quest she will discover is her birthright: a hunt that nearly brought her father to ruin and may have claimed the life of his adviser and dear friend, history professor Bartholomew Rossi. What does the legend of Vlad the Impaler, the historical Dracula, have to do with the 20th century? Is it possible that Dracula has lived on in the modern world? And why have a select few historians risked reputation, sanity, and even their lives to learn the answer? So begins an epic journey to unlock the secrets of the strange medieval book, an adventure that will carry our heroine across Europe and into the past -- not only to the times of Vlad's heinous reign, but to the days when her mother was alive and her father was still a vibrant young scholar. In the end, she uncovers the startling fate of Rossi, and comes face to face with the definition of evil-- to find, ultimately, that good may not always triumph.
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...
评分这本书确实曾经是畅销书,虽说我没看见什么广告或宣传,但至少我在英国的排行榜上是见到了的。而当时即将离开英国的我无意买书,但无奈本性难改,进书店逛大概成了无可救要的习惯。我承认那时候也确实被Historian这个标题吸引住了,从畅销书的架子上拿下来翻了翻,看了看简...
评分简单说,书卷了些;看它一步步的追踪和介绍Dracula的身世,东西南北欧的游荡,危险和羡慕是并存的 故事方面,6、7成都是双引号括起来的上代对下代的信件,这个就把第一现场的惊险、刺激削弱了许多。如果拍电影的话,上两代就够了,或者理所当然以保罗这个中间层作为主角核心,...
评分 评分一本很值得一看的历史小说。对于吸血鬼的传说,我多是看言情小说的。不过吸血鬼的形象已经被确立了下来——怕阳光、大蒜和十字架。 言情小说里的吸血鬼都是很深情专一的,可是读完这部小说后,我深切得感受到一种来自黑暗的恐惧,以致于有点草木皆兵了。但还是想着要读完。...
除了Dracula, 这是我读的唯一一部吸血鬼题材的小说,情节扣人心弦,也很女性化。真么厚的一本书,我居然毫无违和感的读了整整两遍,唉~
