Fevre Dream by George R.R. Martin Epub (喬治馬�。簾嵋怪畨鬍pub)
|
||||
|
From Wikipedia, Fevre Dream is a 1982 vampire novel written by best-selling U. S. novelist George R. R. Martin. It is set on the antebellum Mississippi River beginning in 1857 and can be described as "Bram Stoker meets Mark Twain". The novel was first published in the U. S. by Poseidon Press in 1982 and still remains in print. Fevre Dream was reprinted in 2001 by Orion Books as volume 13 of their Fantasy Masterworks series and was nominated in 1983 for both the Locus Poll Award and World Fantasy Award. Plot Abner Marsh, a remarkably unattractive but highly skilled steamboat captain, is grappling with a financial crisis in 1857 when he is contacted by Joshua York, a rich, soft-spoken gentleman. They become unlikely business partners when Joshua promises to finance the construction of a magnificent new steamboat that will be larger, faster, and more opulent than any other riverboat ever constructed: the pride of the Mississippi River. When finally completed, she is everything Abner has ever dreamed of piloting. The large white, blue, and silver paddle steamer is christened Fevre Dream, for Abner's previously failing company, the Fevre River Packet Company; Joshua and Abner co-captain the new vessel, with Abner being solely responsible for her actual command and navigation. Many questions are soon raised by both the crew and passengers about Joshua York and his circle of unusual friends, who hardly ever venture out of their cabins during daylight hours. Abner's own suspicions about his mysterious partner begin to grow when he finds scrapbooks in Joshua's cabin containing newspaper clippings detailing many mysterious, unexplained deaths. He confronts Joshua, who reveals that he and his friends are vampire hunters using the Fevre Dream as their base of operations to investigate a trail of unusual deaths and disappearances along the mighty river. In time, however, Joshua finally reveals the whole truth: he and his friends are themselves vampires, very humanlike living beings specialized to and recurrently dependent upon hunting humans, characterized by Joshua as "a different race." Joshua has developed a potion, using ancient alchemy and rudimentary chemistry, which controls the "red thirst" of all vampires. This has led many of his kind to consider him the "Pale King," a kind of vampire messiah destined to free them from their dependence on hunting humans. Joshua is on a personal crusade to free his people of their need to feed on the warm, living blood of humanity, and his travelling companions have all submitted to his control as their lord (or "bloodmaster"  .The ancient and evil Damon Julian, a rival bloodmaster, formerly of New Orleans, soon learns of Joshua's efforts. He boards the Fevre Dream with his own vampire followers and manages to overpower and depose Joshua, becoming the new bloodmaster of all vampires aboard the Fevre Dream, including Joshua. Abner escapes, and sets out to hunt the Fevre Dream, which Julian now uses for his own nefarious purposes. After a failed attempt to retake his lost, now demonic ship, Marsh spends his remaining money searching up and down the Mississippi and its tributaries, until he is finally forced to give up the search. Marsh later serves as an agent of the Underground Railroad and a naval officer during the American Civil War, all the while being haunted by the memory of his lost riverboat. Years later, in 1870, after receiving a surprising letter from Joshua, a retired Abner Marsh travels to New Orleans to help Joshua finally depose the evil bloodmaster who has ruined both of their dreams. Aboard the decaying Fevre Dream, the two vampires eventually square-off, and with Abner's aid, Joshua finally overpowers Damon and becomes the bloodmaster once again. The novel closes many decades later by suggesting that all vampires, though still effectively immortal, were eventually freed from their blood addiction by Joshua's potion and Abner's brave efforts on their behalf. They make nighttime pilgrimages to Abner's grave overlooking the Mississippi, continuing to honor his heroic contribution to their cause of freedom, and Joshua York most often of all. 來自百度百科： 《熱夜之夢》是馬丁壯年時期的代表作，也是馬丁最成功的作品之一，自1984年出版以來，至今仍然不斷再版。《熱夜之夢》講述了美國南北戰(zhàn)爭前后在密西西比河上發(fā)生的一段吸血鬼故事，它以蒸汽輪船作為舞臺，以追求夢想貫穿始終，徹底突破了以往人們對吸血鬼小說和吸血鬼形象的認識，歷來被視為與安妮·萊斯的《夜訪吸血鬼》齊名的經典，并在二十一世紀初入選了英國格蘭茲出版社的“奇幻大師杰作系列”。 內容簡介 《熱夜之夢》是蒸汽時代的美國，雄心勃勃的船長和水手統(tǒng)治著密西西比河，在這條美國大動脈水道上競相追逐，爭奪金錢和榮譽——汽笛長鳴，白煙滾滾，鳴奏著高亢激越的交響曲。一條華麗的新汽輪下水，交響曲中響起一個不諧和音——“菲佛之夢”，它一路飛奔，將這條大河上的所有快船拋到身后。但它追逐的不是第一快船的榮譽，而是鮮血，因為驅策它的是古老的血族吸血鬼�！胺品鹬畨簟币宦沸衼�，將密西西比攪成一條血河；而它自身，也漸漸變成一條血船。吸血鬼與人、吸血鬼之間，愛恨情仇，無不浸透在濃稠的血漿之中。但是，從血泊中，誕生了最偉大的情感：友誼和希望。 《熱夜之夢》是喬治·馬丁在吸血鬼題材上所做的大膽嘗試，不僅在1984年的讀者評選中位列三甲，而且不斷再版，成為世界吸血鬼小說流派中的一座里程碑。 |
