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。
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

每一次掙脫,都是在嚮死亡更近一步。 神父走在逃亡的路上,本應越走越遠逃離這場殘酷的宗教迫害,然而不知是責任感還是內心之善屢屢羈絆著他使他的逃亡不能成行。這是一場開始就知道結局的電影,是一個生命無論如何都無法逃脫的死亡。 《The Power an...
評分一本顫顫巍巍打開但卻不願意放下的書,跟著威士忌神父到處逃亡,驚恐他所驚恐的,懷疑他所懷疑的,感謝他所感謝的,當自己覺得纍瞭的時候,神父也走上瞭他的殉道者之路。格雷厄姆·格林不是個信道者,徹底的無神論者,但是在這本書裏,他並沒有叫囂著或陰險地在哪個人物上安裝...
評分讀這本書,會讓人想起其他一些書,例如,《大師和瑪格麗特》,後者用現代語言重新講述瞭耶穌受難的經過,而《權力與榮耀》則重新演繹瞭一個現代背景下的耶穌受難式故事。它還讓人想到魔幻現實主義小說,因為故事同樣發生在具有魔幻現實主義色彩的南美洲,而格林的文筆絕對不輸...

the finest work of Greene
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
評分在四星和五星之間徘徊瞭很久決定給五星。其實是個殉難和復活的故事,隻不過主角不是耶穌,而是個和我們一樣的sinned mortal being。
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very depressing
