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.

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...

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...

文/舒念 拿到这本书是一个美好的意外,我对奇幻类小说的了解不多,翻开这本书的时候还带着一点疑虑,《时光边缘的男人》,会不会是尼摩船长这样的传奇人物,又或是亨特与克莱尔那样时间错位的爱情。然而读过之后,才会发现这是一本传奇与爱情兼具的“历史小说”。 一个活了439...

似乎大部分探讨人生意义的书,最后都会归结到同样的一句话:活在当下。说起来容易,但Tom Hazard活了四百多年还是没做到。 全书有点虎头蛇尾,越写到后来越勉强,Tom对Camille的爱意莫名其妙,然后匆匆一枪突然就结局了。
