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.

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...

先看了中文的,没觉得悬疑倒是陶醉在异国风情中。 后来看见了原版的,真是…… 都怪自己想象力太丰富

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...

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。
