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
宗教的力量到底有多大? 在无神论者眼里看来,宗教不过诳语。但在虔诚信仰,并且甘愿为此约束自我的人看来,宗教所信奉的主,便是主导一切的自己的主人。 这本书故事不算复杂,只是讲了在全面清除信仰的国家之中,一位神父为了躲避抓捕而进行的流亡。 这个国家不允许上帝的存在...
评分译文和译林出版社都出过这部小说。这部小说用通俗的一句话来说,就是一个落魄的神父的逃亡之旅。 作者是比春上村树还厉害的诺贝尔文学奖的陪跑者。 小说是以第三人称的视角展开的,叙述者处在全知全能的位置,掌握着人物全部的行动和情感。这样的安排让作者不必把视角始终聚焦...

评分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...
评分不要地图的旅行:《格林文集》一瞥 卢德坤 对中文世界的读者来说,格雷厄姆•格林不是一个陌生的名字。其中有钩稽沉迷数十年如傅惟慈先生者,也有普通的外国文学爱好者。据有关报道称,从上世纪80年代起,傅先生就在策划一套20卷本的《格林文集》,格林本人甚至已经答应写序...
体验度与百年孤独完全不在一个层次。
评分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).
评分在四星和五星之间徘徊了很久决定给五星。其实是个殉难和复活的故事,只不过主角不是耶稣,而是个和我们一样的sinned mortal being。
