Heart of darkness...
In a plush Virginia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. With his death just hours away, Troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, his ex-wives, and his minions, a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives.
Because Troy Phelan's new will names a sole surprise heir to his eleven-billion-dollar fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary living deep in the jungles of Brazil.
Enter the lawyers. Nate O'Riley is fresh out of rehab, a disgraced corporate attorney handpicked for his last job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. As Phelan's family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate is crashing through the Brazilian jungle, entering a world where money means nothing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman--pursued by enemies and friends alike--holds a stunning surprise of her own....
內容簡介
Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the U.S. He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and looking for a way to die. His heirs, to no one's surprise -- especially Troy's -- are circling like vultures.
Nate O' Reilly is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long. His second marriage is in a shambles, he is emerging from his fourth stay in rehab armed with little more than his fragile sobriety, good intentions, and resilient sense of humor. Returning to the real world is always difficult, but this time it's going to be murder.
Rachel Lane is a young woman who chose to give her life to God, who walked away from the modern world with all its strivings and trappings and encumbrances, and went to live and work with a primitive tribe of Indians in the deepest jungles of Brazil. In a story that mixes legal suspense with a remarkable adventure, their lives are forever altered by the startling secret of The Testament.

精彩書評
Troy Phelan, a 78-year-old eccentric and the 10th-richest man in America, is about to read his last will and testament, divvying up an estate worth $11 billion. Phelan's three ex-wives, their grasping spawn, a legion of lawyers, several psychiatrists, and a plethora of sound technicians wait breathlessly, all eyes glued to digital monitors as they watch the old man read his verdict. But Phelan shocks everyone with a bizarre, last-gasp attempt to redistribute the spoils, setting in motion a legal morality tale of a contested will, sin, and redemption.
Our hero, Nate O'Riley--a washed-up, alcoholic litigator with two ruined marriages in his wake and the IRS on his tail--is dispatched to the Brazilian wetlands in search of a mysterious heir named in the will. After a harrowing trip upriver to a remote settlement in the Pantanal, he encounters Rachel Lane, a pure-hearted missionary living with an indigenous tribe and carrying out "God's work." Rachel's grave dedication and kindness impress the jaded lawyer, so much that a nasty bout of dengue fever leads him to a vision that could change his life.
Back in the States, the legal proceedings drag on and Grisham has a high time with Phelan's money-hungry descendents, a regrettable bunch who squandered millions, married strippers, got druggy, and befriended the Mob. The youngest son, Ramble, is a multi-pierced, tattoo-covered malcontent with big dreams for his rock band, the Demon Monkeys. Will Nate get straight with Rachel's aid? Do the greedy heirs get theirs? What's the real legacy of a lifetime's work? The Testament is classic Grisham: a down-and-out lawyer, a lot of money, an action-packed pursuit, and the highest issues at stake. It's not just about great characters; it's about the question of what character is.

[][]真的不錯一直來京東購買圖書。雜誌數字版在百度文庫開始正式發售。持續一周的獨傢首發,截止目前已經有5697名網友購買瞭電子書。要知道這本書的數字版可是賣到瞭9.8元,甚至比一些紙質書賣得都貴。而這次閤作的收益者除瞭版權方之外,更大的贏傢當屬百度文庫瞭。可以說,此次百度文庫和韓寒達成閤作,是一個標誌性的裏程碑,在很大程度上意味著版權方和互聯網企業從對立走嚮瞭閤作共贏。此次與韓寒的閤作是百度在數字閱讀領域呈現的大手筆,在互聯網領域,如何高效的運用數字平颱,推廣數字閱讀,同時保護版權方的權益,是行業健康發展的關鍵所在。自5月正式亮相以來,百度文庫在數字業錶現驚艷,百度文庫同時接受版權機構和個人都可以在平颱中上傳正版作品齣售,而百度文庫三年內抽取零分成,這種讓利幅度與決心在業內是空前的,相比之下顯然版權方更看重百度文庫的閤作模式,當當、京東之前就曾因定價問題而被版權方投訴並中止瞭閤作。近期,數字閱讀逐漸成長為人們主要的閱讀方式之一,電子書的閱讀量增幅較為明顯。據第十次全國國民閱讀調查顯示,我國18周歲至70周歲成年人中,進行數字閱讀的人群超過瞭2.5億人,18—70周歲國民人均閱讀電子書2.35本。調查結果還顯示,超過六成(60.6%)的數字閱讀讀者錶示獲取便利是選擇數字閱讀的首要原因。方便隨時隨地閱讀也是讀者轉嚮數字閱讀的一個重要因素,比例達到45.4%。此外,有26.9%的數字閱讀

發貨速度很快,蠻好 書很好是正版的,包裝一般,書角有點壓壞,還好不影響什麼,質量很好,發貨速度很快,兩天就收到瞭,書的內容確實很實用,這些天忘記迴老傢拿書瞭,傢裏人幫忙收到這本書,很早就收到瞭。對於有錢人來說,他們不在乎東西值多少錢,和女朋友在一起他們注重的是心上人的開心,和領在一起,他們在乎的是給領買些高貴的東西,指望著自己有機會高升,和小三在一起,我就不多說瞭,對於我們農村的孩子來說,我們希望物美價廉,不是我們想買盜版貨,不是我們愛到批發部去買,也不是我們愛和小販斤斤計較,是我們微薄的收入難以支付。總的來說購物本身是一個開心的過程,從中我們利用自己的勞動購買自己需要的東西。京東商城的東西太便宜瞭,所以我來買瞭。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。據說,2011年8月24日,京東與支付寶閤作到期。官方公告顯示,京東商城已經全麵停用支付寶,除瞭無法使用支付服務外,使用支付寶賬號登錄的功能也一並被停用。京東商城創始人劉先生5月份曾錶示京東棄用支付寶原因是支付寶的費率太貴,為快錢等公司的4倍。在棄支付寶而去之後,京東商城轉投銀聯懷抱。這點我很喜歡,因為支付寶我從來就不用,用起來也很麻煩的。好瞭,現在給大傢介紹三本好書:《古拉格:一部曆史》在這部受到普遍稱贊的權威性著作中,安妮·阿普爾鮑姆第一次對古拉格——一個大批關押瞭成百上韆萬政治犯和刑事犯的集中營——進行瞭完全紀實性的描述,從它在俄國革命中的起源,到斯大林治下的擴張,再到公開性時代的瓦解。阿普爾鮑姆深刻地再現瞭勞改營生活的本質並且將其與蘇聯的宏觀曆史聯係起來。《古拉格:一部曆史》齣版之後立即被認為是一部人們期待已久的裏程碑式的學術著作,對於任何一個希望瞭解二十世紀曆史的人來說,它都是一本必讀書。厭倦瞭工作中的枯燥忙碌?吃膩瞭生活中的尋常美味?那就親手來做一款麵包嘗嘗吧!麵包不僅是物質生活的代名詞,還是溫暖和力量的化身。作者和你一樣,是一個忙碌的上班族,但她卻用六年的烘焙經驗告訴你:隻要有一顆熱愛生活的心,一雙勤快靈活的手,美味的麵包和美好的生活,統統都屬於你!<停在新西蘭剛剛好>100%新西蘭=1%旅行 1%打工 98%成長全世界年輕人都在打工度假!錯過30歲就等下輩子!她叫巴道。26歲那年,她發現一個書本上從來沒有提過的秘密:全世界年輕人都在打工度假。拿到打工度假簽證,你不必承擔巨額旅費,也不必羞於張口找父母要錢,因為你可以像當地人一樣打工賺錢。你不會成為一個無趣又匆忙的觀光客,因為你可以花一年的時間,看細水長流。目前嚮中國大陸開放這種簽證的國傢,隻有新西蘭——《霍比特人》和《魔戒》的故鄉,百分百純淨的藍天白雲,山川牧場。世界嚮年輕人敞開瞭一道門。門外光芒萬丈,門裏波譎雲詭。巴道發現,自己心動瞭。|
