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。

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...

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

评分飞机上把这个读完有点儿不想继续读格林了,决定放一阵想起来了再把剩下的几篇读完,虽然很有异国情调,可是有些不太有感的国家,比如墨西哥,比如海地,读起来故事似乎也没啥趣味。
评分文学课上必须看的书 虽然英文看着很费劲 但是感觉最后一部分whiskey priest和 lieutenant的对话很有感触
