Tom Rob Smith-the author whose debut, Child 44, has been called "brilliant" (Chicago Tribune), "remarkable" (Newsweek) and "sensational" (Entertainment Weekly)-returns with an intense, suspenseful new novel: a story where the sins of the past threaten to destroy the present, where families must overcome unimaginable obstacles to save their loved ones, and where hope for a better tomorrow is found in the most unlikely of circumstances . . .
THE SECRET SPEECH
Soviet Union, 1956. Stalin is dead, and a violent regime is beginning to fracture-leaving behind a society where the police are the criminals, and the criminals are innocent. A secret speech composed by Stalin's successor Khrushchev is distributed to the entire nation. Its message: Stalin was a tyrant. Its promise: The Soviet Union will change.
Facing his own personal turmoil, former state security officer Leo Demidov is also struggling to change. The two young girls he and his wife Raisa adopted have yet to forgive him for his part in the death of their parents. They are not alone. Now that the truth is out, Leo, Raisa, and their family are in grave danger from someone consumed by the dark legacy of Leo's past career. Someone transformed beyond recognition into the perfect model of vengeance.
From the streets of Moscow in the throes of political upheaval, to the Siberian gulags, and to the center of the Hungarian uprising in Budapest, THE SECRET SPEECH is a breathtaking, epic novel that confirms Tom Rob Smith as one of the most exciting new authors writing today.
汤姆·罗伯·史密斯,英国人,2001年毕业于剑桥大学。著有畅销小说《44号孩子》《秘密演讲》《6号特工》,因真实反映苏联20世纪20至80年代社会状况,被称为“苏联暗黑时代三部曲”,该系列上市后,被翻译成20余种文字出版,在世界范围内引起轰动。
英文名字是《秘密报告》(The Secrct Speech),指的就是赫鲁晓夫揭批斯大林的那篇。 虽然悬疑性比首作《44个孩子》弱些,但是在对于极权统治下的群体性创伤的不同层面剖析却比首作深入不少。 随着极权政治恐怖的控制力的逐渐弱化(事物发展规律使然),受迫害者反攻倒算的复仇...
评分 评分我一直很奇怪,作为一个英国人,汤姆•罗伯•史密斯为什么对苏联往事这么有兴趣,而且还写的很好,故事的流畅性和严谨性堪称完美,特别是在他的处女作《44号孩子》中,让人颇为惊艳,而其续作《秘密演讲》依然保持了很高的水准,但是因为取舍的不同,使本书向严肃文学又迈...
评分天真的雪莱告诉我们说“冬天来了,春天还会远吗?”我曾经深信不疑,我们总得心存希望。可是在遥远的西伯利亚,只有漫长而永无止境的寒冬,在那里,希望会折磨的你寝食难安。 作为苏联暗黑时代三部曲的第二部,这本书的位置有些尴尬,第一部是惊艳亮相的处女作,第三部肯定是...
评分《秘密演讲》以惊心动魄的叙事方式讲述了苏联风雨飘摇中的一段黑暗历史,这无疑是作者汤姆·罗伯·史密斯最振奋人心的作品之一。 这就是这本书的魅力所在,通过对历史时期那种黑暗的社会现象作出历史的重塑。 读这本书,也是在了解这段历史,让我们了解社会的种种。
