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。
very depressing
评分因堕落而净化,由肤浅的爱上升到对众生真正的仁慈和博爱
评分罗马帝国殉道者的拉美高清重置版,很好看。虽然很丧(。
评分震撼,有时过于黑暗让人不能一口气读完。前言说作者在牛津读本科时就常玩俄罗斯轮盘,那么小说如此厌世也就不足为奇了
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).
不要地图的旅行:《格林文集》一瞥 卢德坤 对中文世界的读者来说,格雷厄姆•格林不是一个陌生的名字。其中有钩稽沉迷数十年如傅惟慈先生者,也有普通的外国文学爱好者。据有关报道称,从上世纪80年代起,傅先生就在策划一套20卷本的《格林文集》,格林本人甚至已经答应写序...
评分作为一个已经很少读小说的人,我很庆幸自己打开了这本书。格林的文字十分独特,他永远不会满怀感情的去刻画一个人或者一件事情,因为世界上已经没有什么东西能让他满怀感情地去朗诵。 我是一个经常被外界触动的人,高兴,沮丧,生气,受挫等等,什么都来得快,走得快。这个特...
评分No wonder so many people show great preference for him , even the old-fashioned members from the Royal Swedish Academy . I love Graham Green .[可怜] I just can't help it . [愉快]He is really magnificent! By the way , it is about A whisky priest Who committ...
评分故事内容比较厚实,以神父逃亡的过程为主线,在城里,芭蕉园,乡村,城里监狱,边境,最后被抓。整部小说充斥着神父内心的矛盾,一边履行着神父的职责,一边又臣服于人性的欲望不能自拔。刚开始100多页的时候写的有些零散,感觉找不到北,随着故事的深入,越来越精彩,最后100...
