Late one night, exploring ther father's library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters addressed ominously to 'My dear and unfortunate successor'. Her discovery plunges her into a world she never dreamed of - a labyrinth where the secrets of her father's past and her mother's mysterious fate connect to an evil hiden in the depths of history.

Comments on this book:

Some stories can be told again in endlessly different ways. Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian combines a search for the historical Dracula with a profound sense that Stoker got some things right--that the late Mediaeval tyrant kills among us yet, undead and dangerous. From Stoker, she also takes a sense that the supernatural seems more real when embedded in documentary evidence.

Three generations search for Dracula's resting place, and their stories are nested within each other, so that we know that at least two quests ended badly. Kostova rations her thrills very carefully so that we jump out of our chair at quite slight surprises, especially when we have come to expect buckets of blood and loud bangs. She also has a profound and well-communicated sense of place and period, so that the book is equally at home in 1930s Rumania, Cold War Budapest and 1970s Oxford. Kostova is particularly good on the sights and sounds of remote country places and the taste of real peasant food--this sensuous realism does not always go with her other skill, the creation of imagined documents and folksongs that feel as real and true as what might be actual.

This is a quietly good book rather than a spectacular debut, with some uncomfortable twists in its tail; her heroine-narrators are, and perhaps remain, in the most serious of jeopardies. ---Roz Kaveney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

读后感

这其实不是一本“很好看”的小说,我是指如果你的阅读速度很快,短篇小说两个小时能搞定,长篇小说最多也只要两天,那么它大概不适合你。这是一本需要静下心来,读一段停一停的小说。 对《历史学家》感兴趣完全是因为《达·芬奇密码》,《达·芬奇密码》登上美国畅销书排行榜...

看到第三十六章,开始时候的兴趣逐渐消失,期待揭开谜题,不想读下去了,觉得小说速度控制得不是特别好,太绕了

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...

我不得不说两句,在我退书未成之际。给大家提个醒!!! 我看在是畅销书的分上买了一本。总算“看完“了。我不是其他的书托,我实话实说,为什么有好多的书写了5年以上,十年以上,确让人看得受不了呢??? 开始很积极的看,书的情节,特别是父亲告诉女儿的经历,只有那么...

一本关于Vlad Ţepeş Dracula统治下的Transylvania和Wallachia坊间消息的各种解读

翻译成历史学家,害我以为是本纪实文学……哭晕在厕所。幸好书很好看。

(英文原版)恐怖的情节,紧凑的叙述,优美的文字,让人不敢读却又不能罢手。。。糅合了幻想与史实,在我看来是丝毫不逊于Dan Brown的佳作

也可以改名叫《东欧游记》。作者真能搁住话,是我早就在一两章里就说完了。好长,看得好累,感觉再也不会爱了。
