Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history--performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life.
So Tom moves back to London, his old home, to become a high school history teacher--the perfect job for someone who has witnessed the city's history first hand. Better yet, a captivating French teacher at his school seems fascinated by him. But the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society's watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him. Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present.
Matt Haig was born in Sheffield, England in1975. He writes books for both adults and children, often blending the worlds of domestic reality and outright fantasy, with a quirky twist. His bestselling novels are translated into 28 languages. The Guardian has described his writing as 'delightfully weird' and the New York Times has called him 'a novelist of great talent' whose writing is 'funny, riveting and heartbreaking'.
His novels for adults are The Last Family in England, narrated by a labrador and optioned for film by Brad Pitt; The Dead Fathers Club (2006), an update of Hamlet featuring an 11-year-old boy; The Possession of Mr Cave (2008), about a man obsessed with his daughter's safety, and The Radleys (2010) which won Channel 4's TV Book Club public vote and was shortlisted for a Galaxy National Book Award (UK). The film rights to all his adult novels have been sold. His next adult novel is The Humans (2013).
His multi-award winning popular first novel for children, Shadow Forest, was published in 2007 and its sequel, The Runaway Troll, in 2009. His most recent children's novel is To Be A Cat (2012).
The way you stop time is by stopping being ruled by it。读过的作者第二本以异类身份第一人称写的小说了,按他解释,这本小说的创意恰恰来自上一本the humans。无论你活多久,真正有意义的只在当下,这么简单的道理为什么要不断重申?
评分披着科幻外衣,讲 寻找自我+爱情的文艺小说。 not my type
评分作者其他的两本书我都能读得进去,这本不知道怎么回事就是找不到那切入的点。可能是刚看完那本震撼我的EDUCATED,还是有hangover。

评分 评分这个故事揭示的道理,正是我最近体悟到的。作者很厉害,通过一个故事、用另一种方式让我领悟到了同一个道理:活得久,并不一定就会活得幸福。活得久的生活只是这样而已: 有时,我突然想到,人们不会超过 100 岁,因为他们活不到那个时候,他们心理上也撑不到那个时候。生活对...
