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,英國大師級小說傢。他厭世悲觀到極點,卻又最關注靈魂的掙紮和救贖;他作品中“惡”無處不在,暴力、罰罪、背叛墮落比比皆是,可最驚心動魄的卻是個人內心的道德和精神鬥爭;他作品中的人物卑瑣、絕望到極點,可是汙泥中卻能綻放齣人性的光彩;他稱得上是20世紀最嚴肅最悲 觀最具宗教意識的作傢,可同時又是講故事的聖手,是20世紀整個西方最具明星效應的大師級作傢之一,英國20世紀讀者最多的小說傢之一。

評分語言很優美。。。應該是我目前看過的英語版本中,描寫算是最好的。。。不過,對其宗教的很多觀點不敢溝通
評分羅馬帝國殉道者的拉美高清重置版,很好看。雖然很喪(。

評分Sombre and extremely depressing....
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...
評分 評分在读约翰欧文《独居的一年》时,就对格雷厄姆格林这个人感到好奇。女主人公把他的人物传记当成一本需要静下来读的书。虽然嘴上说着其中内容多么不吸引人,但扔给她的女儿取名叫格雷厄姆。格雷厄姆的书在国内停不流行的,只能几经周折找到了PDF版本的。《the Power and the Glor...
評分读这本书,会让人想起其他一些书,例如,《大师和玛格丽特》,后者用现代语言重新讲述了耶稣受难的经过,而《权力与荣耀》则重新演绎了一个现代背景下的耶稣受难式故事。它还让人想到魔幻现实主义小说,因为故事同样发生在具有魔幻现实主义色彩的南美洲,而格林的文笔绝对不输...
