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.

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).
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.
如果说汤姆·哈泽德的孤独是一场罗曼蒂克的行为艺术,那么他的爱情,则是勇气可嘉的存在主义哲学。 许是因汤姆·哈泽德(《时光边缘的男人》主人公)身为“时间逆行者”的特质,不管“缓慢衰老”是上帝的眷顾还是惩戒,他都是岁月变迁的“漏网之鱼”。他的外表似乎对时间免疫,...
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...

听说卷福在本书未出版前就买下了版权,决定将其拍摄成电影。我很好奇到底是怎样的一本书能有这么大的魔力。于是找来看看,看之前并没有很高的期望。但是看完后,感觉一般。语言很简单,很有表现力,最后开枪的情景到现在(看完已经有一个多月了)还有模糊的印象。只是整本书都以主人公的爱情作为主线让我感觉有点闷,内心活动却是描写得不错,但我觉得对我而言,视角稍微窄了点。英语初学者可以拿来读读,找找成就感。

评分Heart-warming
评分和我想象的故事其实不太一样,活的很久的人也有他们的烦恼 这是我之前没有想过的,听的有声书 很有趣 最后传达的信息也很好
评分永生似乎是一种诅咒,特别是当你有了心爱之人。
