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
一 如果用三个关键词来形容格林的小说,就是:间谍,旅行,天主教。 这些主导性的主题在格林小说中获得了一如既往的延续性,几乎所有格林小说都是同类主题的不同变奏,而关乎灵魂去向的宗教问题尤其占据着格林创作的核心位置。 于是《权力与荣耀》无论在题材上还是手法上都成为...

评分 评分在读约翰欧文《独居的一年》时,就对格雷厄姆格林这个人感到好奇。女主人公把他的人物传记当成一本需要静下来读的书。虽然嘴上说着其中内容多么不吸引人,但扔给她的女儿取名叫格雷厄姆。格雷厄姆的书在国内停不流行的,只能几经周折找到了PDF版本的。《the Power and the Glor...
评分一本颤颤巍巍打开但却不愿意放下的书,跟着威士忌神父到处逃亡,惊恐他所惊恐的,怀疑他所怀疑的,感谢他所感谢的,当自己觉得累了的时候,神父也走上了他的殉道者之路。格雷厄姆·格林不是个信道者,彻底的无神论者,但是在这本书里,他并没有叫嚣着或阴险地在哪个人物上安装...
Yet another "rephrasing" of the ultimate paradox of "bearing the unbearable", a very profound one nevertheless. This is more a Kafka-esque parable, or even a Greek tragedy, than an elaborately narrated modern novel. In the story, necessity comes not from humanity but from un-humanity, or destiny or fate as someone would like to put it. Because, paradoxically, humanity is in everyone and there is no question of it, but saintliness is not, though it is forced upon the priest as the result of, alas, humanity. I was looking for the best word to express what I felt reading the book, and finally could only come up with "sorry". On the other hand, the Grand Inquisitor's theme is vaguely present, although not firmly articulated. Should the two themes be engaged more precisely this could be a greater story. It is a shame that I was not aware of Greene and his works till not long ago. I am much obliged to the girl who kindly presented the book to me and urged me to finish it. (finished in the early spring of 2010).
评分权利与荣耀。好epic的感觉有木有?冰与火之歌有木有?其实是个很简单的故事啦。前面渲染的厉害有点找不着主线,不过越到后面越清晰流畅。整体来看很不错。
评分William Heinemann 1959. Hardcover
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Sombre and extremely depressing....
