Unabridged on mp3 audio disk. How does good spoil, and how can bad be redeemed? In his penetrating novel The Power and the Glory, Graham Greene explores corruption and atonement through a priest and the people he encounters. In the 1930s one Mexican state has outlawed the Church, naming it a source of greed and debauchery. The priests have been rounded up and shot by firing squad--save one, the whisky priest. On the run, and in a blur of alcohol and fear, this outlaw meets a dentist, a banana farmer, and a village woman he knew six years earlier. For a while, he is accompanied by a toothless man--whom he refers to as his Judas and does his best to ditch. Always, an adamant lieutenant is only a few hours behind, determined to liberate his country from the evils of the church. On the verge of reaching a safer region, the whisky priest is repeatedly held back by his vocation, even though he no longer feels fit to perform his rites: "When he was gone it would be as if God in all this space between the sea and the mountains ceased to exist. Wasn't it his duty to stay, even if they despised him, even if they were murdered for his sake? even if they were corrupted by his example?" As his sins and dangers increase, the broken priest comes to confront the nature of piety and love. Still, when he is granted a reprieve, he feels himself sliding into the old arrogance, slipping it on like the black gloves he used to wear. Greene has drawn this man--and all he encounters--vividly and viscerally. He may have said The Power and the Glory was "written to a thesis," but this brilliant theological thriller has far more mysteries--and troubling ideals--than certainties. --Joannie Kervran Stangeland
格雷厄姆·格林,英国大师级小说家。他厌世悲观到极点,却又最关注灵魂的挣扎和救赎;他作品中“恶”无处不在,暴力、罚罪、背叛堕落比比皆是,可最惊心动魄的却是个人内心的道德和精神斗争;他作品中的人物卑琐、绝望到极点,可是污泥中却能绽放出人性的光彩;他称得上是20世纪最严肃最悲 观最具宗教意识的作家,可同时又是讲故事的圣手,是20世纪整个西方最具明星效应的大师级作家之一,英国20世纪读者最多的小说家之一。
语言很优美。。。应该是我目前看过的英语版本中,描写算是最好的。。。不过,对其宗教的很多观点不敢沟通
评分Yet another "rephrasing" of the ultimate paradox of "bearing the unbearable", a very profound one nevertheless. This is more a Kafka-esque parable, or even a Greek tragedy, than an elaborately narrated modern novel. In the story, necessity comes not from humanity but from un-humanity, or destiny or fate as someone would like to put it. Because, paradoxically, humanity is in everyone and there is no question of it, but saintliness is not, though it is forced upon the priest as the result of, alas, humanity. I was looking for the best word to express what I felt reading the book, and finally could only come up with "sorry". On the other hand, the Grand Inquisitor's theme is vaguely present, although not firmly articulated. Should the two themes be engaged more precisely this could be a greater story. It is a shame that I was not aware of Greene and his works till not long ago. I am much obliged to the girl who kindly presented the book to me and urged me to finish it. (finished in the early spring of 2010).
评分Sombre and extremely depressing....
评分觉得不够有吸引力 电影感十足 但总觉得差了很多东西2011.6.XX 很无聊 实在没多大兴趣2011.7.15
评分在四星和五星之间徘徊了很久决定给五星。其实是个殉难和复活的故事,只不过主角不是耶稣,而是个和我们一样的sinned mortal being。

评分每一次挣脱,都是在向死亡更近一步。 神父走在逃亡的路上,本应越走越远逃离这场残酷的宗教迫害,然而不知是责任感还是内心之善屡屡羁绊着他使他的逃亡不能成行。这是一场开始就知道结局的电影,是一个生命无论如何都无法逃脱的死亡。 《The Power an...
评分一 如果用三个关键词来形容格林的小说,就是:间谍,旅行,天主教。 这些主导性的主题在格林小说中获得了一如既往的延续性,几乎所有格林小说都是同类主题的不同变奏,而关乎灵魂去向的宗教问题尤其占据着格林创作的核心位置。 于是《权力与荣耀》无论在题材上还是手法上都成为...
