The Darwin Conspiracy pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 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.

評分 評分看得好累,文中的几条线索反过来,转过去,时不时地挑战我大条的神经。看书的时候,LD和好友在阳朔的各家小店中兴奋地购物,我守在门口看这本书。 看的途中,曾有想过,不要再看下去了,又没有阴谋,又没有爱情,没有暴力。但是止不住的就是想,究竟是怎么回事? 从这点来看...
評分或许我老了, 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.
評分看书名猜想,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...
