Darwin Conspiracy, The pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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 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 Dulcimer, 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.

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 評分 評分最近在读的书都是双线结构 这种结构的用意和好处 常读书的人都很清楚 但是这本书首先从结构上就感觉蹩脚 一条线以现代的休为主人公 一条线 掺杂了第三人称叙述达尔文小猎犬号上的经历+达尔文女儿的日记 意图很明显 一条线是后世人揭开重重迷雾找寻真相 另一条线是以当时的发展...
