A world-wide bestseller, major motion picture and upcoming "Director's Cut" TV mini-series exclusively for the U.S!
" Pope Joan has all the elements one wants in a historical drama–love, sex, violence, duplicity, and long-buried secrets. Cross has written an engaging book." –Los Angeles Times Book Review
For a thousand years her existence has been denied. She is the legend that will not die–Pope Joan, the ninth-century woman who disguised herself as a man and rose to become the only female ever to sit on the throne of St. Peter. Now in this riveting novel, Donna Woolfolk Cross paints a sweeping portrait of an unforgettable heroine who struggles against restrictions her soul cannot accept.
Brilliant and talented, young Joan rebels against medieval social strictures forbidding women to learn. When her brother is brutally killed during a Viking attack, Joan takes up his cloak–and his identity–and enters the monastery of Fulda. As Brother John Anglicus, Joan distinguishes herself as a great scholar and healer. Eventually, she is drawn to Rome, where she becomes enmeshed in a dangerous web of love, passion, and politics. Triumphing over appalling odds, she finally attains the highest office in Christendom–wielding a power greater than any woman before or since. But such power always comes at a price . . .
In this international bestseller, Cross brings the Dark Ages to life in all their brutal splendor and shares the dramatic story of a woman whose strength of vision led her to defy the social restrictions of her day.
在女性地位低下的年代,琼安没有向命运低头,在通往知识大门的荆棘道路上排除各种障碍,她得到的智慧超越了当代人的一般见解甚至到达一千多年后的现代。作为生活在知识随处可得的现代人表示非常惭愧,要是琼安生活在现代,我们大概会羡慕她才华,或者说是思想前卫的人。...
評分以前看过杜撰的女教皇的漫画,所以看到小说就拿来读读。所以说,通俗漫画也是有启蒙意义的:P。 同样考证癖发作,又搜索,Baidu完全不给力,只好维基百科了:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Joan。结果,再次发现年代久远后已无真相,叹息。不过,还是想再看看电影的。 因...
評分前半段写的很抓人,那个时代的黑暗愚昧感,从字里行间不动声色地泄露出来,哪怕他没发生什么跌宕起伏的剧情,光看那些文字也就够了。 到修道院部分还行,但从剧情转入罗马开始,一下就拉开了距离感,原本生动的描述褪色了,虽然剧情更加戏剧性,涉及的历史事件更多更有名,琼安...
評分对她前半生的描述非常棒,吸引我想一口气看完,可到了她成年后的描述就非常的欠缺真实性了,唯一能说的就是,这是上帝的旨意,他接选了她。
評分以这样一个惊世骇俗的宏大题材来说,作者显出力所不及。就整部作品来说,缺乏这样一个题材应有的深度和厚重。它只是陈述了一系列故事和事件,没有对人物本身进行更深程度的开发。 对一个挣扎在男性世界的女人来说,重男轻女的父母、周遭人的歧视和虐待、发奋图强、始终不离不...
