【节版+完整版】The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield (2006) 第十三个故事
又是M大,又是Juliet Stevenson+哥特风,又是典雅精到的点评:
“从小在父亲的古旧书店帮忙的姑娘玛格丽特,爱好读经典小说和传记。一天,她突然收到著名女作家维达·温特的来信。温特性格古怪而低调,常常编造自己的各种离奇故事糊弄记者,但谁也不知道她的真正来历。可她居然写信邀请默默无闻的玛格丽特来为她写传。
出于好奇,同样深居简出的玛格丽特来到偏僻的温特家。如温特所述,她的母亲伊莎贝拉美丽任性,父亲和哥哥完全听命于她,伊莎贝拉生下的一对双胞胎女儿却行为怪异。玛格丽特对女作家的故事既着迷,又困惑。半信半疑中,她开始调查这个家族,依照自己的调查结果将温特讲述的家族故事拼接起来。然而,寻找真相的过程令人胆战心惊,也彻底改变了玛格丽特自己的命运……
传这本书主要因为朗诵者Juliet Stevenson。小说本身的故事情节有漏洞(具体什么不说了,以免剧透),另外小说的叙述者玛格丽特时时的自我沉溺让人不耐,情感的描写有点过。当然这和小说的哥特风格有些关系。内容较重口(防剧透不细说),加上氛围烘托,有点恐怖、悬疑的感觉,也比较沉重,喜欢小清新风格的朋友谨慎下载,免得受惊或反胃。Stevenson的表现一如既往精彩。

The Thirteenth Tale (2006) by Diane Setterfield is a gothic suspense novel, the author's first published book.
When Margaret Lea opened the door to the past, what she confronted was her destiny.
All children mythologize their birth...So begins the prologue of reclusive author Vida Winter's collection of stories, which are as famous for the mystery of the missing thirteenth tale as they are for the delight and enchantment of the twelve that do exist.
The enigmatic Winter has spent six decades creating various outlandish life histories for herself -- all of them inventions that have brought her fame and fortune but have kept her violent and tragic past a secret. Now old and ailing, she at last wants to tell the truth about her extraordinary life. She summons biographer Margaret Lea, a young woman for whom the secret of her own birth, hidden by those who loved her most, remains an ever-present pain. Struck by a curious parallel between Miss Winter's story and her own, Margaret takes on the commission.
As Vida disinters the life she meant to bury for good, Margaret is mesmerized. It is a tale of gothic strangeness featuring the Angelfield family, including the beautiful and willful Isabelle, the feral twins Adeline and Emmeline, a ghost, a governess, a topiary garden and a devastating fire.
Margaret succumbs to the power of Vida's storytelling but remains suspicious of the author's sincerity. She demands the truth from Vida, and together they confront the ghosts that have haunted them while becoming, finally, transformed by the truth themselves.
The Thirteenth Tale is a love letter to reading, a book for the feral reader in all of us, a return to that rich vein of storytelling that our parents loved and that we loved as children. Diane Setterfield will keep you guessing, make you wonder, move you to tears and laughter and, in the end, deposit you breathless yet satisfied back upon the shore of your everyday life.
小说是一个从古旧书店说起的悬疑小说,这和西班牙作家萨丰的畅销小说《风之影》有颇多相似之处,赛特菲尔德也坦率地表示: 我读过《风之影》。在我生日那天,我的好朋友曾送我一本《风之影》,那时候《第十三个故事》马上就要完成了。 赛特菲尔德说: 当我读完小说后,顿生妒忌。作为读者,我对作者萨丰有一种惺惺相惜的感觉,作为写作者,我的作品也想要向读者传递相似的感觉。
《第十三个故事》中带有《简爱》、《呼啸山庄》、《蝴蝶梦》这类小说独特的哥特式气氛,赛特菲尔德表示,在写作前从来没有想过要模仿哪些作品, 我从来没有想过要刻意写个哥特式的故事。是小说中的人物引导我的故事弥漫着一种哥特式的氛围,特别是玛格丽特,这个小说人物奠定了小说的基调。我有一种强烈的感觉,这个女人喜欢阴森的小说,而这些小说渗透进她的世界观和她自己的小说叙事中。
《第十三个故事》的电影版权很早就已卖掉,但赛特菲尔德透露,电影的制作非常缓慢, 现在的进展状态我也不清楚,但我希望电影终有一天面世。
作者有个很认真的访谈,延伸阅读,→作者访谈。
一并附上另一个完整版。由两人分角色朗读,皆女声,英音,朗读很清楚。AudioFile评价甚高。
朗读:Bianca Amato, Jill Tanner
Elderly, well-loved author Vida Winter commissions Margaret Lea to record her biography in this gothic mystery. Bianca Amato is stunning as Margaret, who is coming to terms with the truth of her own life as she slowly unravels the facts of Ms. Winter's. Amato's respect for the power of story and the written word is heard in every utterance. Jill Tanner accomplishes a tour de force as the enigmatic and mysterious Vida. In conversation her voice has the hesitancy and fragility of an elderly woman, but her voice takes on the strength and power of a master storyteller as she weaves her spellbinding life story. An author interview is icing on the cake. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

这本前面很不错,真相揭晓时很失望!
有捡到宝的感觉,谢谢!
请问下完整版是什么格式的,要改成什么后缀名才能播放呀?
完整版是普通的mp3格式,用各类主流播放器皆可播放,你再试试?
文件名是Setterfield.-.The.Thirteeenth.Tale.-.Unabridged,我加個後綴名也不行啊!
文件解压后,应该是16个mp3文件+1个系统信息文件;后者派什么用,老实说我也不知道,可能是供高手做有技术含量的事情用。很多下载文件都带这玩意,我自己从未用过;只是听的话,直接点击mp3文件足矣。
这是个压缩文件?那我在试试,下载完看到的是未知文件,我还以为是音频文件,我再试试,多谢兄台!
快传的链接好像都超过最大期限了T_T
完整版已补档,见主帖尾部。
