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.

具體描述

讀後感

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。...

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...

本来以为是达芬奇密码之类的风格。看了以后,玄疑倒是玄疑。但是过于平淡的。话说回来,这可真是“历史学家”的风格。在故纸堆里面寻找历史的蛛丝马迹,完全是一封信借着一封信,整本书用的引号估计创纪录了。对于读者来说可能有点枯燥,当然喜欢考据的一定不会这样想。到了一...

早两天就读完了《历史学家》,可惜一直没什么时间或者说是经历来写这本书的推荐——当然我也可以就这样把它放过去,但是我还是想推荐一下。这本书给人的感觉,就是这样“不推荐也可以吧”,但是又“有点舍不得”的样子。 这本书对我来说是本能喜爱的属于“私房书”的那一种。...

關於吸血鬼的書,繼Bram Stoker之後又一本完全以Dracula為主題的書,其間穿插瞭3代人的追尋經曆。

也可以改名叫《東歐遊記》。作者真能擱住話,是我早就在一兩章裏就說完瞭。好長,看得好纍,感覺再也不會愛瞭。

(英文原版)恐怖的情節,緊湊的敘述,優美的文字,讓人不敢讀卻又不能罷手。。。糅閤瞭幻想與史實,在我看來是絲毫不遜於Dan Brown的佳作
