图书标签: 外国文学 Christianity
'I wish to remain single, for I have made a vow of virginity.' This is the remarkable story of the twelfth-century recluse Christina, who became prioress of Markyate, near St Albans in Hertfordshire. Determined to devote her life to God and to remain a virgin, Christina repulses the sexual advances of the bishop of Durham. In revenge he arranges her betrothal to a young nobleman but Christina steadfastly refuses to consummate the marriage and defies her parents' cruel coercion. Sustained by visions, she finds refuge with the hermit Roger, and lives concealed at Markyate for four years, enduring terrible physical and emotional torment. Although Christina is supported by the abbot of St Albans, she never achieves the recognition that he intended for her. Written with striking candour by Christina's anonymous biographer, the vividness and compelling detail of this account make it a social document as much as a religious one. Christina's trials of the flesh and spirit exist against a backdrop of scheming and corruption and all-too-human greed.
翻译精湛,你不会相信这是一本中世纪写出来的圣徒传记。
评分圣徒传记(hagiography)可以远比人物传记深邃,此作就是一例。The gentleness and divine intimacy in knowing and contemplation. Christina与Geoffrey在对神至深的敬爱中互相扶持教导,如同为彼此灌溉,是某种友爱的典范。许多影像画面充满灵性。Christina坚定且愈发强大,但作者不断着墨于她的不安与失措,使她性灵的修行更扎实且动容。对理解童贞(virginal humility and humble virginity)的宗教性和文学性有颇多帮助,重要的是欲望并非一定是守贞的反义或恶意的干扰。本书中带有苦行性质的疾病与贤者的治愈力则是另一组意味深长的对照。文笔质朴,却具有饱含灵性的delicacy。
