Late one night, exploring ther father's library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters addressed ominously to 'My dear and unfortunate successor'. Her discovery plunges her into a world she never dreamed of - a labyrinth where the secrets of her father's past and her mother's mysterious fate connect to an evil hiden in the depths of history.
Comments on this book:
Some stories can be told again in endlessly different ways. Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian combines a search for the historical Dracula with a profound sense that Stoker got some things right--that the late Mediaeval tyrant kills among us yet, undead and dangerous. From Stoker, she also takes a sense that the supernatural seems more real when embedded in documentary evidence.
Three generations search for Dracula's resting place, and their stories are nested within each other, so that we know that at least two quests ended badly. Kostova rations her thrills very carefully so that we jump out of our chair at quite slight surprises, especially when we have come to expect buckets of blood and loud bangs. She also has a profound and well-communicated sense of place and period, so that the book is equally at home in 1930s Rumania, Cold War Budapest and 1970s Oxford. Kostova is particularly good on the sights and sounds of remote country places and the taste of real peasant food--this sensuous realism does not always go with her other skill, the creation of imagined documents and folksongs that feel as real and true as what might be actual.
This is a quietly good book rather than a spectacular debut, with some uncomfortable twists in its tail; her heroine-narrators are, and perhaps remain, in the most serious of jeopardies. ---Roz Kaveney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Elizabeth Kostova graduated from Yale and holds an MFA from the University of Michigan, where she won the Hopwood Award for the Novel-in-Progress.
现在在桌上,正是7.99磅买的,几年前看过中文版,现在翻翻,到底是原稿文字如诗~
评分一本关于Vlad Ţepeş Dracula统治下的Transylvania和Wallachia坊间消息的各种解读
评分翻译成历史学家,害我以为是本纪实文学……哭晕在厕所。幸好书很好看。
评分个人觉得比达芬奇密码好看,在浓郁的黑色哥特式氛围下的苦苦追索。中文版的翻译很差,还是看原版的语言有味道。
评分(英文原版)恐怖的情节,紧凑的叙述,优美的文字,让人不敢读却又不能罢手。。。糅合了幻想与史实,在我看来是丝毫不逊于Dan Brown的佳作
先看了中文的,没觉得悬疑倒是陶醉在异国风情中。 后来看见了原版的,真是…… 都怪自己想象力太丰富
评分这其实不是一本“很好看”的小说,我是指如果你的阅读速度很快,短篇小说两个小时能搞定,长篇小说最多也只要两天,那么它大概不适合你。这是一本需要静下心来,读一段停一停的小说。 对《历史学家》感兴趣完全是因为《达·芬奇密码》,《达·芬奇密码》登上美国畅销书排行榜...
