Abner Marsh has had his wish come true – he has built the Fevre Dream, the finest steamship to sail the Mississippi. Abner hopes to race the boat some day, but his partner is making it hard for him to realise his dreams. Joshua York put up the money for the Fevre Dream, but now rumours have started about his the company he keeps, his odd eating habits and strange hours. As the Dream sails the great river, it leaves in it’s a wake one too many dark tales, forcing Abner to face down the man who made his dreams become reality.
When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects something's amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesn't care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh's dilapidated fleet. Nor does he care that he won't earn back his investment in a decade. York has his own reasons for wanting to traverse the powerful Mississippi. And they are to be none of Marsh's concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious his actions may prove.Marsh meant to turn down York's offer. It was too full of secrets that spelled danger. But the promise of both gold and a grand new boat that could make history crushed his resolve—coupled with the terrible force of York's mesmerizing gaze. Not until the maiden voyage of his new sidewheeler Fevre Dream would Marsh realize he had joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare…and mankind's most impossible dream.Here is the spellbinding tale of a vampire's quest to unite his race with humanity, of a garrulous riverman's dream of immortality, and of the undying legends of the steamboat era and a majestic, ancient river.
前天连夜读完了《热夜之梦》,译文版的,一口气的。我一口气读下去的心理历程,从勉勉强强,到有意思,到有点精彩,接着就是好无聊,作者写的啥,这位作者真是写冰与火的那位吗各种各样的滑坡。 也许这种写法在当时的吸血鬼文学界很好,不过我并不买账。我是个半拉子吸血鬼迷,...
评分 评分很快吐下槽,因为我要去睡觉。 看了一天看完了。因为PJ说他喜欢,才找来看的。 这本书的真正目的是歌颂密西西比河以及蒸汽船时代。 写得其实很精彩,前面三分之二,尤其是York讲述吸血鬼历史那段,完全被迷住了。船长也塑造得很好。 结果后面三分之一,为了衬托大boss,为...
评分随着《冰与火之歌》(A Song of Ice and Fire)及其改编HBO美剧的大红,购买其作者乔治·马丁(George R.R. Martin)的其他作品也越发便捷,前段时间终于拜读了他写于1982年的《热夜之梦》(Fevre Dream)。 故事发生的背景从头到尾都不陌生:密苏里、密西西比河、新奥...
又重新读了一遍原文,发现按照马胖在这本书里的设定,吸血鬼的吸血渴望red thirst作用于他们的血液中,每个月都会来一次,就跟大姨妈是一个道理,所以其实这个故事是讲一个疯狂科学家pale king如何研制出了克服大姨妈的药物,但有些顽固的守旧分子、大姨妈拥簇者死活不肯吃,结果疯狂科学家为了没有大姨妈的新生活而战斗到最后的感人故事。
