The Darwin Conspiracy pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
In this riveting new novel, best-selling 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 Darnton’s richly dramatic narrative, which unfolds through three vivid points of view: Darwin’s own as he sails around the world aboard the Beagle; his daughter Lizzie’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 Dulicmer, whose obsession with Darwin (and with each other) drives them beyond the accepted boundaries of scholarly research. What Hugh and Beth discover–Lizzie’s diaries and letters lead them to a hidden chapter of Darwin’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.
With The Darwin Conspiracy, John Darnton again delivers a stunning tapestry of history and imagination, a galvanizing novel.
约翰•丹顿(John Darnton)
他曾经是《纽约时报》著名记者。
他两度夺得乔治•波尔克奖。更凭借一则在冷战时期偷渡出波兰的故事,荣膺普利策奖。
他的第一部畅销之作《尼安德特人》被誉为“具有广博知识的一种娱乐性阅读”。导演斯皮尔伯格购买了这本书的电影改编权。
他所有的作品,包括《尼安德特人》、《生命》、《灵魂捕手》和《实验》等都是美国当年最红小说,均被翻译成多种语种。
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...
评分华莱士,马修斯,达尔文,麦考密克,一切都源于世界尽头的隐士的启迪,理论的发现那么扑朔迷离,作为后人的我们很难去发现事实的真相,众说纷纭,华莱士一直活在达尔文的阴影之下,麦考密克作为达尔文的竞争对手,他的一切又很难说的清。历史的真相的挖掘是如此费力,盖棺未必...
评分 评分其实这几天都在看这本书。课业紧张的缘故始终没有时间解决完。 作为一个新人,其实我几乎没有写过什么书评。 而且,我也不认为我写得能叫做书评,最多就是读后感了。见笑! 对于达尔文,在我这个学医的看来,最直观的了解,也可以说是唯一的了解,就是他的进化论。至于别的,...
评分世上什么谎言最可信?半真半假的谎言可信度最高。 从以历史人物为蓝本的完全虚构小说《隐之书》,到以历史名画为媒介重新诠释宗教故事的《达芬奇密码》,再到如今以真实历史人物形象出现的《达尔文的阴谋》,这些个历史悬疑小说中,掺杂的历史史实是越来越多,可信度也跟着水...
