THE BLOODLETTER’S DAUGHTER
Book ID/图书代码: 03540012B54354
English Summary/英文概要: The Bloodletter’s Daughter is an original historical novel that traces a story of madness, obsession and love from the glittering court of the Holy Roman Emperor in Prague to a humble bathhouse on the banks of the Vltava River.
The year is 1606, the golden age of Prague, cultured and financed by Rudolf II. The Emperor’s mad bastard son, Don Julius, scandalizes the cities of Prague and Vienna and is banished to the walled town of Cesky Krumlov in the furthest reaches of Bohemia, and locked in the towering Rozenberk castle. By order of the Emperor, two bloodletters - Royal Physician Mingonius and local Barber-Surgeon Pichler - come to rid Don Julius of the murderous humors that course his veins.
But it is Pichler’s daughter Marketa — a simple Bohemian bathmaid — who captures the frenzied imagination of the lunatic Hapsburg prince.
Inspired by a true murder story that shook the Hapsburg Royal Houses of Europe and contributed to the downfall of an emperor, The Bloodletter’s Daughter captures the rich historical detail and dark drama of passion and revenge.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 布拉格金光閃爍的哈布斯堡宮殿中藏著一個無人敢提的黑暗秘密。
1606年,在國王魯道夫二世的精心管理下,布拉格成為一個輝煌繁榮,人人嚮往的城市,全國的藝術和文化精品都聚集於此。這個金燦燦的表像隱藏了一個醜陋的秘密——國王的兒子,唐•尤利葉斯精神癲狂,惡貫滿盈。絕望的國王,為了阻止王子作惡,只能將他驅逐到波西米亞荒野的古塔中,並派一名醫師用放血之法去除他暴虐的習性。
當皮什賴爾的女兒瑪律凱塔跑來幫助父親時,她變成了瘋狂迷亂的王子唐•朱利斯的目標。瑪律凱塔是唯一能讓王子意識清醒的人。在王子心中,她就像奇幻書中的所畫的美女,像是從皇家圖書館裡的無價手稿中走出來的人。當王子的心智陷入更深的黑暗,他的行為變得越來越瘋狂錯亂。瑪律凱塔雖然又害怕又好奇,但她不能離開。
《放血醫師的女兒》是一部原創歷史小說。作者從金碧輝煌的羅馬皇家宮殿寫到伏爾塔瓦河岸邊的破澡堂,追訴了一個瘋狂迷亂、愛恨情仇的故事。歷史上一個真實的謀殺案曾經威脅到哈布斯堡王朝的存亡。作者受其啟發,創作了《放血醫師的女兒》。這個小說以豐富的細節和對黑暗罪惡的描寫刻畫了一出狂熱和復仇的傳奇。(Celia)
