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).

评分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the future is you.
评分好书!
评分看完就会明白<夜访吸血鬼>里面,为什么Lestat会嫌Louise絮絮叨叨的烦死个人

评分标题即代表了我对这本书的全部感想。 《时光边缘的男人》 这本书刚出版的时候,就引起了不小的轰动,卷福抢先拿下了这本书的版权,大概意思就是卷福要当主演,很快就要有卷福的新电影可以看咯。 简单介绍一下,《时光边缘的男人》 ,讲述的是生命周期很长的一群人的生活。主人...
