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.

　　一个人道德水平的高低，很大程度上取决于道德修养的自觉程度。因此，评价一个人的道德水准，不能仅看他表面上是否懂得了某种道德原则和规范，而最关键的还在于，他是否把这种道德原则和规范转化为自己的道德品质，自觉地落实到行动上，严于律己，宽以待人。特别是在独自活动无人监督的情况下，能够坚持做好事而不做坏事，始终保持高尚的道德情操和品质，这点尤为重要。

今天刚刚拿到书，这本（:..美1.美）:..路易丝·埃姆斯1.路易丝·埃姆斯（:..美1.美）:..卡罗尔·哈柏1.卡罗尔·哈柏写的你的9岁孩子很不错，你的9岁孩子由路易丝·埃姆斯、卡罗尔·哈柏著，玉冰译全球阶梯教养圣经！郑重地向所有的家长们推荐这本书。因为这是迄今为止对家长育儿最有帮助的书郑重地向老师们推荐这本书，因为有了这本书，忙碌的老师们就再也不用为发展心理学中的那些生涩的字词而头痛了。你的9岁孩子由路易丝·埃姆斯、卡罗尔·哈柏著，玉冰译。当有一本书说孩子的感知运动时期的第八循环第一阶段，其生物功能如何被环境所改变，这一改变来自于怎样的图示过程时，家长和老师们真的就被吓住了，他们带着可怜的、自信心受到打击的神情对你说我学不会。我不懂，我做不到。假设你是那个作者。当一个老师或一个家长这样对你说时。你会绝望吗你会觉得他们不适合做父母和老师吗这时，请你看看这本你的9岁孩子，看看它是用怎样的关怀。向想要了解孩子的人讲述孩子，又是用怎样朴实贴切的招数在帮助它的读者。看了这本书，你会知道，这本书是有鲜活灵魂的，当你面对它时，你会自然轻松地用心灵与它沟通。朋友们，请打开这本书吧，不管你是妈妈还是爸爸，不管你是老师还是教育家。请打开这本书吧！我们在这里讲述的是孩子在相应年龄段所应有的行为或者行为规范。这些东西能使得不少家长看过之后感到心里踏实，因为做父母的总是愿意了解自己的孩子会有哪些行为。当然，我们的这些描述也有可能反而使一些家长更焦虑，甚至是愤慨。好在绝大多数的父母因为预先知道了孩子可能会出现的一些行为，而能够多多少少放松下来。这正是我们愿意看到的事情。尤其让许多父母感到放心的地方是，他们现在终于明白，孩子在某些阶段出现的一些糟糕行为，其实是一种正常行为。因为，别人的孩子也这样。我们这一群人在阿诺德·格塞尔博士的亲自带领下，跟踪孩子们40多年，研究儿童行为的变化与发展。我们的研究始于当年格塞尔博士指导下的耶鲁大学科研诊所，也就是现在著名的格塞尔人类发展研究所的前身。这些针对数千名儿童（一点不夸张）的不断学习和研究，使得我们坚信，人类行为的成长模式十分有规律。我们可以相当准确地预料出孩子在某种行为阶段之后将会是什么行为阶段。这里的行为，指的是能够表现出孩子的运动能力、语言能力、适应能力以及与人相处的能力等各方面的行为。我们能够很自信地告诉你，通常来说，一个男孩子或者女孩子会在某个年龄出现某种行为特征。但是，毫无疑问，没有哪个孩子肯定是一个通常来说的孩子。正如我们在这本书里要详细阐述的那样，每一个孩子都是独一无二的个体，都可能从各个不同的方面有别于任何其他孩子，甚至包括和
