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).
An interesting setting, a shitty story, some cliche plots, quite a few beautiful sentences

长生不老,是我们人类的一个长久追求。 从古代的炼药求仙,到现代的信息科技的发展,都没有放弃这一愿望。活到一百岁、两百岁,甚至四百岁是一个怎样的体验呢? 汤姆·哈泽德可以回答这个问题,因为他已经活了439岁了。他出生在法国的一座小城堡的三楼,确切的时间是1581年3月3...
评分 评分不老 我看到安东一个人走进主教学楼,插着耳机在看书。我不知道他在看什么,只知道那是一本书,我就觉得有一种安全感。这时他抬起头看到了我,朝我挥手。 书中的这一段恰恰是我对友人安东(跟书里这位重名了)的感觉。他虽然忽胖忽瘦,忽东忽西,但这么多年下来看不出太多变老...
评分人类的正常寿命在一百岁左右,常言道:人活七十古来稀,长寿成为了人们的追求,一些影视作品描述长生,一般会用孤独,无终点的酷刑来描述,我们都是宇宙的囚徒,我们不知道时间从哪里开始也不知道时间从哪里结束,一切不可控的未知都与时间有关。时间可以冲淡记忆,也可以让活...
