In this riveting new novel, bestselling author John Darnton transports us to Victorian England and around the world to reveal the secrets of a legendary nineteenth-century figure. Darnton elegantly blends the power of fact and the insights of fiction to explore the many mysteries attached to the life and work of Charles Darwin. What led Darwin to the theory of evolution? Why did he wait twenty-two years to write On the Origin of Species? Why was he incapacitated by mysterious illnesses and frightened of travel? Who was his secret rival? These are some of the questions driving Darntona (TM)s richly dramatic narrative, which unfolds through three vivid points of view: Darwina (TM)s own as he sails around the world aboard the Beagle; his daughter Lizziea (TM)s as she strives to understand the guilt and fear that struck her father at the height of his fame; and that of present-day anthropologist Hugh Kellem and Darwin scholar Beth Dulcimer, whose obsession with Darwin (and with each other) drives them beyond the accepted boundaries of scholarly research. What Hugh and Beth discover - Lizziea (TM)s diaries and letters lead them to a hidden chapter of Darwina (TM)s autobiography - is a maze of bitter rivalries, petty deceptions, and jealously guarded secrets, at the heart of which lies the birth of the theory of evolution.
我很郁闷的是我竟然花了好几天的时间看完这本又长又臭故弄玄虚的书,途中无数次箱放弃阅读,但还是心存侥幸的希望这故事能好物沉归底戏肉在后头,结果最终证明我实在是浪费时间。只能说这本书纯粹是想借《达芬奇的密码》的东风来挣钱。
评分或许我老了, 已无法阅读拖沓的情节, 无法阅读一开头就毫无矛盾和冲突的情节, 无法阅读没有张力的设定, 如果,小说作为一个娱乐项目, 比我们的生活还平淡, 小说家还要写小说做什么? 我读不下去了,读到第六章,决定果断停掉. 还是把凯鲁亚克的<荒凉天使>读完再说吧.
评分看书名猜想,这是一部跟风的小说,跟的,是《达芬奇密码》。后者的成功实在太让人眼红,于是连兰登书屋都没拒绝约翰•丹顿这个畅销书作家的跟风之作。但,毕竟是畅销书作家,毕竟是兰登书屋,书的内容还是值得期待。 及至开始阅读,发现连双线并行交叉的故事结构都学得一丝...
评分我对小说很挑剔,主题要新鲜或者高尚或者与历史有关,开头要吸引人,一般2分钟内还没有感觉的书会直接放弃。买这本书的时候好像是追风,丹布朗风,而且对达尔文的生平很感兴趣。但买回来一直没看,直到考完试才看了一遍。本书有两条很清晰的线索交叉进行,虽然我一直不太喜欢这...
评分这本被媒体炒作为“生物学与科学史版的《达芬奇密码》”的《达尔文的阴谋》没有前者那么富有知识性和娱乐性,但它却引出了一个质朴的中心话题:科学与生活的联系。 正如花朵需要温暖的阳光,科学需要生活的体验和积累。 作者用看不见血的刀深深刺进我们自以为是的现代人身体...
