Description
「當時每一個在場的人都知道那個故事是胡說八道,但從來沒有任何人反駁。一個完全不實的故事變成了傳說,知道實情的人卻只袖手沉默。」
「是的。非常有趣。歷史就是這樣寫成的。」
《時間的女兒》故事雖然是對英國史上惡名昭彰的理查三世的翻案,實際上傳達的卻是對所謂「真相」、「歷史事實」勇於求證與懷疑的精神。歷史的撰寫與塑造,事件的事實真相,可能因為人的盲點與偏見、政治立場的不同,而有不同的解釋版本。這點不管是在幾百年前的英國、七十年前鐵伊寫下作品的時候,甚至是現今網路傳播快速的當下,依然存在。無怪乎許多推理評論家與作家,都稱讚本書為歷久彌新的推理經典之作。

View AllDuring the first few chapters I wasn't sure I'd like it as I'm not a fan of stories built around conversations but as soon as it got into the meat of it delving into Richard III then I was hooked.From what I'd already read, I was a believer of him being innocent and, assuming that the information in this properly researched, then I am even more convinced now.
