內容簡介
One book. Two readers. A world of mystery, menace, and desire.A young woman picks up a book left behind by a stranger. Inside it are his margin notes, which reveal a reader entranced by the story and by its mysterious author. She responds with notes of her own, leaving the book for the stranger, and so begins an unlikely conversation that plunges them both into the unknown.
The book:
Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey.
The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world's greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him.
The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they're willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears.
S., conceived by filmmaker J. J. Abrams and written by award-winning novelist Doug Dorst, is the chronicle of two readers finding each other in the margins of a book and enmeshing themselves in a deadly struggle between forces they don't understand, and it is also Abrams and Dorst's love letter to the written word.

精彩書評
"The best-looking book I've ever seen. . . . The book is so perfectly realized that it's easy to fall under its spell. . . . If you want to write a romantic mystery meta-novel in which two bibliophiles investigate the conspiracy around an enigmatic Eastern European author, you couldn't choose a better team." --Joshua Rothan,
New Yorker,"Impressively smart, engaging . . . Filled with secrets and stories that are endlessly beguiling and inviting . . . Reading S., and trying to decode everything [was] an incredibly enjoyable, fun experience, as well as a particularly immersive one. . . . For all its mysteries and intrigues, this is a book about the value of books, and what they can offer us that other storytelling mediums cannot." --
Wired,"
S. is gorgeous, a masterpiece of verisimilitude. . . . The book's spiritual cousin is A.S. Byatt's
Possession. . . . The brilliance of
S. is less in its showy exterior than the intimate and ingeniously visual way it shows how others' words become pathways to our lives and relationships." --
Washington Post,"Both as literature and as a physical object, S. is a profound and tremendous work of art. . . . Brilliantly conceived and perfectly executed, the book harkens back to a golden age of storytelling. . . . An audacious literary achievement that calls to mind Vladimir Nabokov's
Pale Fire, Chris Ware's
Building Stories and even Charles Portis'
Masters of Atlantis." --
Miami Herald,"Reading
S. is fun, and the book feels alive . . . Gloriously embroidered with marginalia and jammed with artifacts inserted between its pages . . . A celebration of the book as a physical thing." --
Chicago Tribune,"Both as literature and as a physical object,
S. is a profound and tremendous work of art."—

其實想給4分,但看在這年頭還能這麼費心做實體書的,還是5分吧。東西來的包裝不是特彆好,有點點壓角。書本身很有特色,但被種草種的深,所以實話講沒有達到預期的高度。一個是翻譯,有極個彆的地方還是有點小問題。二是所謂特色,把所有英文轉成漢字瞭,其實,字如人,在這方麵,轉成中文後反而感覺不到原文的要傳達的感覺。從中書寫看,好象女性偏多。漢字講究筆鋒,這點比英文吃虧很多。其實還不如把原版的放上來,把譯文放一邊對照。。。當然這樣可能整體感差點。三是送的紅藍片,還以為有立體圖,結果整體書也沒幾個地方用得上,還不是立體圖,僅僅是配閤“兩麵”的意思。。。故事講得不錯,如果隻印普通版,也照樣能看,搞成這樣,完全沒必要。。。因為即使沒有這些花頭,一點也不影響讀故事。。。我原來以為看這些所謂“仿真”是可以自己去發現、去判斷,結果隻是為瞭做舊而做舊、隻是為瞭印齣來而齣來。。。反而把書的成本抬上去瞭。。。如果印成普通版,把那些圖做成照片放進來,大約也就7、80塊的書。。。
