Fevre Dream pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Abner Marsh has had his wish come true – he has built the Fevre Dream, the finest steamship to sail the Mississippi. Abner hopes to race the boat some day, but his partner is making it hard for him to realise his dreams. Joshua York put up the money for the Fevre Dream, but now rumours have started about his the company he keeps, his odd eating habits and strange hours. As the Dream sails the great river, it leaves in it’s a wake one too many dark tales, forcing Abner to face down the man who made his dreams become reality.
When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects something's amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesn't care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh's dilapidated fleet. Nor does he care that he won't earn back his investment in a decade. York has his own reasons for wanting to traverse the powerful Mississippi. And they are to be none of Marsh's concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious his actions may prove.Marsh meant to turn down York's offer. It was too full of secrets that spelled danger. But the promise of both gold and a grand new boat that could make history crushed his resolve—coupled with the terrible force of York's mesmerizing gaze. Not until the maiden voyage of his new sidewheeler Fevre Dream would Marsh realize he had joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare…and mankind's most impossible dream.Here is the spellbinding tale of a vampire's quest to unite his race with humanity, of a garrulous riverman's dream of immortality, and of the undying legends of the steamboat era and a majestic, ancient river.
乔治·R·R·马丁,一九四八年出生于美国贝约恩市,二十七岁以小说《莱安娜之歌》摘下象征幻想小说最高成就的雨果奖。此后他不仅在文学上获奖连连,更曾在好莱坞担任编剧长达十年之久。至今,他已获四次雨果奖,两次星云奖,一次世界奇幻文学奖,十一次轨迹奖等等。
人称“马丁大爷”的乔治·啊·啊·马丁以其挖坑深不见底至今仍在连载中的鸿篇巨著《冰与火之歌》 名扬四海,同时又因其心狠手辣虐杀书中角色绝不手软,与“杀人的田中”并称文坛两大血手屠夫。自从2011年《冰与火之歌》被美国HBO电视网改编为《权力的游戏》系列电视剧以来,人...
评分第一次看热夜之梦,是在十四岁的夏季。 年幼的我甚至买不起它的单行本,从旧书店淘到一本打折为两元的科幻世界译文版,第一篇就是它。 译文版自然比不上单行本,可仍使那年的我深深震撼。 那是密西西比河上耀如恒星的梦想扬帆起航。几乎无尽的黑天与白日交替着为鲜血的洗礼而亘...
评分随着《冰与火之歌》(A Song of Ice and Fire)及其改编HBO美剧的大红,购买其作者乔治·马丁(George R.R. Martin)的其他作品也越发便捷,前段时间终于拜读了他写于1982年的《热夜之梦》(Fevre Dream)。 故事发生的背景从头到尾都不陌生:密苏里、密西西比河、新奥...
评分这本书我觉得镜头感很好,段落也十分清晰,删减点可以直接当剧本用,很适合影像化,而且对特技效果应该也没有太大的需求,拍成一部落英神斧林肯那样的片子成本应该不高,好莱坞怎么没人动动这方面的念头呢。.....暮光之城那么烂的东西却能一连拍四部.........这世道啊.........
评分这是我第二遍读《热夜之梦》这个故事了,说实话,书很厚,但总能让人在不知不觉中将全书翻完。我也曾看过作者乔治•马丁其他作品,比如那部著名诗史奇幻《冰与火之歌》,依然带有奇幻色彩的太空歌剧《光逝》,均是十分出色的作品,无论故事长短,作者总能很好地把握着节奏,...
