內容簡介

The Petrakis family lives in the small Greek seaside village of Plaka. Just off the coast is the tiny island of Spinalonga, where the nation's leper colony once was located—a place that has haunted four generations of Petrakis women. There's Eleni, ripped from her husband and two young daughters and sent to Spinalonga in 1939, and her daughters Maria, finding joy in the everyday as she dutifully cares for her father, and Anna, a wild child hungry for passion and a life anywhere but Plaka. And finally there's Alexis, Eleni's great-granddaughter, visiting modern-day Greece to unlock her family's past.

A richly enchanting novel of lives and loves unfolding against the backdrop of the Mediterranean during World War II, The Island is an enthralling story of dreams and desires, of secrets desperately hidden, and of leprosy's touch on an unforgettable family.

作者簡介

Victoria Hislop lives in the south of England with her husband and their two children.

精彩書評

Travel writer Hislop's unwieldy debut novel opens with 25-year-old Alexis leaving Britain for Crete, her mother Sofia's homeland, hoping to ferret out the secrets of Sofia's past and thereby get a handle on her own turbulent life. Sofia's friend Fortini tells Alexis of her grandmother Anna, and great-aunt Maria. Their mother (Alexis's great-grandmother) contracted leprosy in 1939 and went off to a leper colony on the nearby island of Spinalonga, leaving them with their father. Anna snags a wealthy husband, Andreas, but smolders for his renegade cousin, Manoli. When philanderer Manoli chooses Maria, Anna is furious. Conveniently, Maria also contracts leprosy and is exiled, allowing Anna to conduct an affair with Manoli. Meanwhile, Maria feels an attraction to her doctor, who may have similar feelings. Though the plot is satisfyingly twisty, the characters play one note apiece (Anna is prone to dramatic outrages, Maria is humble and kind, and their love interests are jealous and aggressive). Hislop's portrayal of leprosy—those afflicted and the evolving treatment—during the 1940s and 1950s is convincing, but readers may find the narrative's preoccupation with chronicling the minutiae of daily life tedious. (July)
—— Publishers Weekly

When beloved schoolteacher Eleni is diagnosed with leprosy, she is exiled to the Greek island of Spinalonga. Left behind on Crete are her husband and two beautiful daughters, headstrong Anna and dutiful Maria. Years later, Eleni's great-granddaughter Alexis returns to Crete to find answers to her family's mysteries. Conveniently, a witness to her family history is still alive to tell her—and us—the dark story. The novel is a romantic page-turner, but a little shallow. For example, the Nazi occupation of Crete becomes a plot device to turn the boy next door into a hunk, and, after much tribulation, the good are rewarded and the bad punished. The novel, successful in Britain, will probably be a popular beach read and book club selection this summer. There's little to object to in this historical romp. Block.

非常不錯正是我想要的 上周周六，閑來無事，上午上瞭一個上午網，想起好久沒買書瞭，似乎我買書有點上癮，一段時間不逛書店就周身不爽，難道男人逛書店就象女人逛商場似的上癮？於是下樓吃瞭碗麵，這段時間非常冷，還下這雨，到書店主要目的是買一大堆書，上次專程去買卻被告知缺貨，這次應該可以買到瞭吧。可是到一樓的查詢處問，小姐卻說昨天剛到的一批又賣完瞭！暈！為什麼不多進點貨，於是上京東挑選書。好瞭，廢話不說。好瞭，我現在來說說這本書的觀感吧，網絡文學融入主流文學之難，在於文學批評傢的缺席，在於衡量標準的混亂，很長一段時間，文學批評傢對網絡文學集體失語，直到最近一兩年來，諸多活躍於文學批評領域的評論傢，纔開始著手建立網絡文學的評價體係，很難得的是，他們迅速掌握瞭網絡文學的魅力內核，並對網絡文學給予瞭高度評價、寄予瞭很深的厚望。隨著網絡文學理論體係的建立，以及網絡文學在創作水準上的不斷提高，網絡文學成為主流文學中的主流已是清晰可見的事情，下一屆的“五個一工程奬”，我們期待看到更多網絡文學作品的入選。發貨真是齣乎意料的快，昨天下午訂的貨，第二天一早就收到瞭，贊一個，書質量很好，正版。獨立包裝，每一本有購物清單，讓人放心。幫人傢買的書，周五買的書，周天就收到瞭，快遞很好也很快，包裝很完整，跟同學一起買的兩本，我們都很喜歡，謝謝！瞭解京東：2013年3月30日晚間，京東商城正式將原域名360buy更換為jd，並同步推齣名為“joy”的吉祥物形象，其首頁也進行瞭一定程度改版。此外，用戶在輸入jingdong域名後，網頁也自動跳轉至jd。對於更換域名，京東方麵錶示，相對於原域名360buy，新切換的域名jd更符閤中國用戶語言習慣，簡潔明瞭，使全球消費者都可以方便快捷地訪問京東。同時，作為“京東”二字的拼音首字母拼寫，jd也更易於和京東品牌産生聯想，有利於京東品牌形象的傳播和提升。京東在進步，京東越做越大。||||好瞭，現在給大傢介紹兩本本好書：《謝謝你離開我》是張小嫻在《想念》後時隔兩年推齣的新散文集。從拿到文稿到把它送到讀者麵前，幾個月的時間，欣喜與不捨交雜。這是張小嫻最美的散文。美在每個充滿靈性的文字，美在細細道來的傾訴話語。美在作者書寫時真實飽滿的情緒，更美在打動人心的厚重情感。從裝禎到設計前所未有的突破，每個精緻跳動的文字，不再隻是黑白配，而是有瞭鮮艷的色彩，首次全彩印刷，法國著名唯美派插畫大師，親繪插圖。|兩年的等待加最美的文字，就是你麵前這本最值得期待的新作。《洗腦術：怎樣有邏輯地說服他人》全球最高端隱秘的心理學課程，徹底改變你思維邏輯的頭腦風暴。白宮智囊團、美國FBI、全球十大上市公司總裁都在秘密學習！當今世界最高明的思想控製與精神綁架，政治、宗教、信仰給我們的終極啓示。全球最高端隱秘的心理學課程，一次徹底改變你思維邏輯的頭腦風暴。從國傢、宗教信仰的層麵透析“思維的真相”。白宮智囊團、美國FBI、全球十大上市公司總裁都在秘密學習！《洗腦術：怎樣有邏輯地說服他人》涉及心理學、社會學、神經生物學、醫學、犯罪學、傳播學適用於：讀心、攻心、高端談判、公關危機、企業管理、情感對話……洗腦是所有公司不願意承認，卻是真實存在的公司潛規則。它不僅普遍存在，而且無孔不入。閱讀本書，你將獲悉：怎樣快速說服彆人，讓人無條件相信你？如何給人完美的第一印象，培養無法抗拒的個人魅力？如何走進他人的大腦，控製他們的思想？怎樣引導他人的情緒，並將你的意誌灌輸給他們？如何構建一種信仰，為彆人造夢？
