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
一本书一旦涉及宗教,看起来就觉得压力山大。 《权力与荣耀》从标题开始就带有深深的宗教意味。只要你稍微了解一点《圣经》,就应该能够看出书的标题来自《主祷文》“因为国度、权柄、荣耀都是你的,直到永远”,而书的主角既然是天主教神父,就更脱不开与宗教...

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).
