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....

内容简介

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.

精彩书评

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.

　　严于律己，离不开不谅“小恶”。所谓“小恶”就是大家常说的犯小毛病。“小恶”因其小而常常被人们所忽视，不是有许多人对自己的小毛病不以为然吗？其实，我们常讲的自我批评，自我解剖就是指要重视解决“小恶”的问题，否则，就不可能坚持做到“吾日三省吾身”。应该看到“小”是相对的，“蚁穴”虽小，但久而久之，千里之堤可能毁于一旦；医生做手术，哪怕还有一点点病菌没消灭干净，也会引起溃烂，甚至危及生命；“差之毫厘，失之千里”，说的就是这个道理。因此“小恶”不可小看。“小恶”不是凝固不变的，努力克服它、纠正它，它会愈来愈小，以至消失；放任它，忽视它，与其和平共处，它就会由小变大，成为祸患。平时小错不断，大错不犯，对什么都抱着无所谓的态度，以致放松思想改造，慢慢滑向犯罪的深渊，这样的例子并不鲜见。刘备曾给儿子留下“勿以恶小而为之”的遗言，我们后人也应把它铭记在心。

[][]真的不错一直来京东购买图书。杂志数字版在百度文库开始正式发售。持续一周的独家首发，截止目前已经有5697名网友购买了电子书。要知道这本书的数字版可是卖到了9.8元，甚至比一些纸质书卖得都贵。而这次合作的收益者除了版权方之外，更大的赢家当属百度文库了。可以说，此次百度文库和韩寒达成合作，是一个标志性的里程碑，在很大程度上意味着版权方和互联网企业从对立走向了合作共赢。此次与韩寒的合作是百度在数字阅读领域呈现的大手笔，在互联网领域，如何高效的运用数字平台，推广数字阅读，同时保护版权方的权益，是行业健康发展的关键所在。自5月正式亮相以来，百度文库在数字业表现惊艳，百度文库同时接受版权机构和个人都可以在平台中上传正版作品出售，而百度文库三年内抽取零分成，这种让利幅度与决心在业内是空前的，相比之下显然版权方更看重百度文库的合作模式，当当、京东之前就曾因定价问题而被版权方投诉并中止了合作。近期，数字阅读逐渐成长为人们主要的阅读方式之一，电子书的阅读量增幅较为明显。据第十次全国国民阅读调查显示，我国18周岁至70周岁成年人中，进行数字阅读的人群超过了2.5亿人，18—70周岁国民人均阅读电子书2.35本。调查结果还显示，超过六成(60.6%)的数字阅读读者表示获取便利是选择数字阅读的首要原因。方便随时随地阅读也是读者转向数字阅读的一个重要因素，比例达到45.4%。此外，有26.9%的数字阅读者表示方便检索信息是他们选择数字阅读方式的原因，与数字阅读方式相比，传统的纸质读物并不具备信息检索方面的优势。据估计到2018年，全球电子阅读的市场份额将超过传统阅读，数字化阅读的兴盛为人们的生活和学习提供了更多乐趣和便利。对于数字阅读这盘棋，百度文库明显棋高一着。在当下阅读载体发生了变化，阅读内容也日益多元的趋势下，内容是数字阅读产业的核心资源，百度文库作为文档分享平台，在丰富的阅读内容的储备上有先天优势。百度文库平台上发布的超过7000万份文档中，79%是教育文档和专业资料，内容干货十足。没有内容资源上的强大储备，再强大的企业也只会教育市场后继无力，徒为他人做嫁衣，而这也足以让现在那些没有长远规划和战略布局，只是追赶潮流的企业一声长叹。吸引用户的核心价值是优质，百度与方的合作，就是强强联合，优势互补。方是通过实体书籍的销售检验的，在内容上有很多的优质资源，但是在渠道这一块相对较弱，百度作为国内互联网的领军企业在传播方面的优势异常突出。所以百度文库电子版权平台推出后，成绩斐然，从数字上来讲，平台中已有1242家版权机构及104位版权个人的1082万份版权内容。百度文库作为平台与韩寒
