AGENT 6
How far would you go to solve a crime against your family?
It is 1965. Leo Demidov, a former secret police agent, is forbidden to travel with his wife and daughters from Moscow to New York. They are part of a "Peace Tour," meant to foster closer relations between the two Cold War enemies. On the tour, Leo's family is caught up in a conspiracy and betrayal that ends in tragedy. In the horrible aftermath, Leo demands one thing: that he be allowed to investigate and find the attacker that struck at the heart of his family on foreign soil. From the highest levels of the Soviet government, he is told No, that is impossible. Leo is haunted by the question: what happened in New York? In a surprising, epic story that spans decades and continents-from 1950s Moscow to 1960s America to the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s-Leo's long pursuit of justice will force him to confront everything he ever thought he knew about his country, his family, and himself.
才云鹏 里奥在时隔十五年之后,去调查早已死去的妻子被杀真相,究竟有什么意义?有的人会说其现实意义绝无,但《6号特工》告诉读者一个深刻的道理:人之死,或重于泰山,或轻于鸿毛,其分野就在于你是否将生命和尊严画上等号。如果你喜欢苟延残喘地活着,那么,思想对你来说就...
评分我相信每一个走入社会的成熟成年人都或多或少的会意识到个体的无力,你永远无法把社会改变成你希冀的样子,即使那些少数的拥有绝对话语权的“成功人士”,当一个人足够成功的时候,他就已经不再只是一个血肉丰满的人,而变成了一个符号,更深层次的说,当他貌似可以掌控很多的...
评分从进化论的角度来说,社会是适者生存,无时无刻存在竞争,竞争的环境让更适合的人存活了下来,所以这些人原则上拥有更多的财富,或者更适合生存进化。但有些人有提到了人与人之间是互助的关系,就像动物种群众之间的关系,因为互助和信任人类得以繁衍。但不管你相信的人类发展...
评分拖了很长时间,终于把Tom Rob Smith的苏联三部曲看完了。想起第一次看《Child 44》,还是在2010年。记得当时我还在读研究生,一直到现在将近有七年时光,期间三部曲的后两本《The Secret Speech》和《Agent 6》陆续出版,而我自己也有幸翻译了简体中文版的[《秘密演讲》]。从读...
评分因为Child 44 而继续读 Tom Rob Smith的三部曲之一,Agent 6。读书的过程中,心中一直有个疑问:Who Is Agent 6? Where Is He or She? What's His or Her Mission? 直至几乎结尾,谜底才被揭开。说实话,略有失望。小说的政治倾向性很明显,跨度很大,但略显拖沓。
评分这里面融入了很多我喜欢的元素。。。不知道为什么,看到了苏联,就觉得回到了小时候,我唯一开心的时候。当然,如今长大了,知道的多了,就不再那么喜欢俄国了。
