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.
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...
評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。...
評分前一段时间看完了一个朋友推荐看的小说《the Historian》,一直没有时间写些感受。 今天随手翻来,还是简单的写几句吧。书里讲一个关于吸血鬼的故事。自己只知道市面上有很多关于吸血鬼的电影,说老实话,我是一部也没看过。但听朋友说起这本书的时候,没有表现出一丝的恐惧情...
評分现代的流行文化很容易给人一种错觉,大学里的学者都是那么的英俊或是美丽、机敏或是勇敢、强壮或是风雅。那些冷僻领域的研究人员,又都是那么的独领风骚傲视群雄。正当我因为在大学里找不到这样一位传奇英雄而困惑的时候,《历史学家》帮助我解开了迷思。面对历史,我们一...
評分除瞭Dracula, 這是我讀的唯一一部吸血鬼題材的小說,情節扣人心弦,也很女性化。真麼厚的一本書,我居然毫無違和感的讀瞭整整兩遍,唉~
