斯蒂格·拉森(Stieg Larsson),瑞典作家与新闻记者。曾任职于瑞典中央新闻通讯社,并于工作之余投身反法西斯主义的活动。一九九五年,他创办了Expo基金会,并自一九九九年开始担任基金会同名杂志主编。由于他长期致力于揭发瑞典极右派组织的不法行为,多年来一直受到程度或轻或重的死亡恐吓与威胁。这部小说中总是积极捍卫社会正义、不求个人名利的男主角,几乎就是拉森本人的化身。
拉森从二○○一年开始撰写“千禧”系列小说,二○○四年完成三部曲后,竟不幸于十一月因心脏病突发辞世,来不及看见首曲《龙文身的女孩》在二○○五年出版,以及此系列小说售出全球超过三十四国版权、轰动全欧的盛况。随着第二部和第三部的出版,“千禧”系列引发阅读热潮,雄踞欧洲各国畅销书排行榜,且历久不坠。此外,《龙文身的女孩》在二○○六年夺得北欧犯罪小说协会最佳犯罪小说“玻璃钥匙”奖;二○○八年,“千禧”系列第三部《空中的城堡》(暂名)再度夺下“玻璃钥匙”奖。拉森打破纪录,成为瑞典有史以来第一位两度获颁该奖项的作家。二○○八年二月,拉森入选英国《每日电讯报》“一生必读的五十位犯罪小说作家”。二○○九年,拉森被选为“欧洲最具冲击力十大畅销小说家”,在榜单上排名超过丹·布朗与《暮光之城》作者斯蒂芬妮·梅尔,居于首位。
A 24-year-old computer hacker sporting an assortment of tattoos and body piercings and afflicted with Asperger Syndrome or something of the like has been under state guardianship in her native Sweden since she was thirteen. She supports herself by doing deep background investigations for Dragan Armansky, who, in turn, worries the anorexic-looking Lisbeth Salander is "the perfect victim for anyone who wished her ill." Salander may look fourteen and stubbornly shun social norms, but she possesses the inner strength of a determined survivor. She sees more than her word processor page in black and white and despises the users and abusers of this world. She won't hesitate to exact her own unique brand of retribution against small-potatoes bullies, sick predators, and corrupt magnates alike.
Financial journalist Carl Mikael Blomkvist has just been convicted of libeling a financier and is facing a fine and three months in jail. Blomkvist, after a Salander-completed background check, is summoned to a meeting with semi-retired industrialist Henrik Vanger whose far-flung but shrinking corporate empire is wholly family owned. Vanger has brooded for 36 years about the fate of his great niece, Harriet. Blomkvist is expected to live for a year on the island where many Vanger family members still reside and where Harriet was last seen. Under the cover story that he is writing a family history, Blomkvist is to investigate which family member might have done away with the teenager.
So, the stage is set. The reader easily guesses early that somehow Blomkvist and Salander will pool their talents to probe the Vanger mystery. However,Swede Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is no humdrum, formulaic whodunit. It is fascinating and very difficult to put down. Nor is it without some really suspenseful and chillingly ugly scenes....
The issue most saturating The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is that of shocking sexual violence primarily against women but not excluding men. Salander and Blomkvist both confront prima facie evidence of such crimes. Larsson's other major constituent elements are corporate malfeasance that threatens complete collapse of stock markets and anarchistic distrust of officialdom to the point of endorsing (at least, almost) vigilantism. He also deals with racism as he spins a complex web from strands of real and imagined history concerning mid-twentieth century Vanger affiliations with Sweden's fascist groups.
But Larsson's carefully calibrated tale is more than a grisly, cynical world view of his country and the modern world at large. At its core, it is an fascinating character study of a young woman who easily masters computer code but for whom human interaction is almost always more trouble than it is worth, of an investigative reporter who chooses a path of less resistance than Salander but whose humanity reaches out to many including her, and of peripheral characters -- such as Armansky -- who need more of their story told.
Fortunately, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in English translation will be followed by two more in the Millennium series: The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Air Castle that Blew Up. I can't wait. Larsson also made a 200-page start on a fourth book, but sadly he succumbed to a heart attack in 2004 and his father decided the unfinished work will remain unpublished.
很厚的一本书,看完后觉得累。分两次看完,第一次看完后就念念不忘,第二次时间充裕全部完结。好看的一本书,但我还是看完后很累。岁月不饶人啊。 作为畅销书,此书有很多的卖点。问题女孩,顶级黑客,善良正直的记者,性侵,企业家族的内部黑幕,金融丑闻。好看,但没有触动...
评分 评分小说有个非常吸引人的开头,看似美丽而无害的花朵标本,当它们密密麻麻地挂满一面墙壁时,让人不由得生出一股寒意。 结构:整部书算是跌宕起伏,氛围的塑造、情节的安排颇让人欲罢不能,但结尾部分却收束地不够干脆。这当然是因为作者的双线叙事。虽然人物是重叠的,但书中存...
评分如果用传统的侦探小说模式来衡量这本书,《龙纹身的女孩》的写作技巧显然不及格,作者是一名记者,而不是侦探小说家。他想表达的东西太多,他过于愤怒,以至于让故事失去了轻重。成功的小说家都是要与现实保持一定距离的,这样才能够冷静的观察这个世界。 但是真正的愤怒、对...
评分写下这个标题自觉很像标题党。 当初读这千禧年三部曲时,我的瑞典语也就只够我看标题的,图书馆借来的英文版,立刻腹诽英文版编辑的商业炒作的庸俗。千禧年三部曲给活活的搞成了女孩三部曲,要知道标题的存在是有他的理由的,改了标题改了一个人的面目一样的感觉。中文版是从...
除了男主有点杰克苏以及提到Apple太多次以外,节奏感,悬念设置还有人物塑造都很棒
评分一口气三天读完了...太刺激了!!
评分看来两个电影版本都还是相当忠于原著的,除了和谐掉部分明显有悖普世三观的部分。。。作为推理作品有些乏善可陈(或许是我们已被日本作家给惯坏了),不过作为现实主义的犯罪小说还是有诸多亮点的。
评分Grown-up Pippi longstocking
评分not quite the thing I expected
