Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2009 'Lock Cromwell in a deep dungeon in the morning,' says Thomas More, 'and when you come back that night he'll be sitting on a plush cushion eating larks' tongues, and all the gaolers will owe him money.' England, the 1520s. Henry VIII is on the throne, but has no heir. Cardinal Wolsey is his chief advisor, charged with securing the divorce the pope refuses to grant. Into this atmosphere of distrust and need comes Thomas Cromwell, first as Wolsey's clerk, and later his successor. Cromwell is a wholly original man: the son of a brutal blacksmith, a political genius, a briber, a charmer, a bully, a man with a delicate and deadly expertise in manipulating people and events. Ruthless in pursuit of his own interests, he is as ambitious in his wider politics as he is for himself. His reforming agenda is carried out in the grip of a self-interested parliament and a king who fluctuates between romantic passions and murderous rages. From one of our finest living writers, 'Wolf Hall' is that very rare thing: a truly great English novel, one that explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion, suffering and courage.
Hilary Mantel is one of our most important living writers. She is the author of eleven books, including A Place of Greater Safety, Giving Up the Ghost, and, most recently, Beyond Black, which was shortlisted for the 2006 Orange Prize.
没读完,非线性的叙述和不那么朴实的语言对于我这样英文不大好的人实在不太友好,唉也只能怪自己没文化。
评分好看!
评分用句间结构营造了一种紧凑感,通过细节的编排让读者能够切身感知到人物的处境。难得的是作者对所有人物都怀着同情,却又仔细包裹在行文之中。
评分都不记得自己是什么时候买的这本书,看了1/3,搬来搬去时找不到它,又抓起有声书听。有时早上化妆时听Cromwell家的女孩子们讨论Lady Anne的着装和宫里流行的时尚,听Cromwell对Mary Boleyn克制而暗藏深意的描写,历史好像映照现实,女为悦己者容,由此感到深深无奈,似乎是无法摆脱的困境。这段历史,配合Plantagenet,看过不少影视改编和不同作者的历史描述,Hilary Mantel的语言有时让我想起Tolstoy,虽是写实却让人觉得充满理想主义情怀。明明点到即止,却很容易就能visualize整个场景。再戏剧化的情节,几个精准的短句迅速带过,旖旎从风,又暗潮涌动。
评分这段历史看了很多各个角度的演绎,狼厅追剧在先,回过头来看原著倒反而限制了想象力和感染力。
英国著名作家希拉里•曼尔特(Hilary Mantel)最新作品同样将目光投向热热闹闹的都铎王朝,主人公是当朝最特立独行的传奇人物——克伦威尔(Cromwell)。 托尔斯•莫尔说,“克伦威尔早上被关在深牢大狱,晚上你再去看,他一定已经美美地躺在柔软沙发里,享受他的山珍海味了...
