保羅·霍夫曼,英國作傢。《上帝的左手》是他的“凱爾三部麯”中的第一部。他此前寫過兩部小說:《鰐魚的智慧》預言瞭世界金融體係的崩潰;《審查官的光輝歲月》是一部以他當電影審查官的經曆為基礎創作的充滿黑色幽默的作品。
They call him Cale.
He is destined to save the world...
...or destroy it.
In the Redeemer Sanctuary, the stronghold of a secretive sect of warrior monks, torture and death await the unsuccessful or disobedient. Raised by the Redeemers from early childhood like hundreds of other young captives, Thomas Cale has known only deprivation, punishment, and grueling training. He doesn't know that another world exists outside the fortress walls or even that secrets he can't imagine lurk behind the Sanctuary's many forbidden doorways. He doesn't know that his master Lord Bosco and the Sanctuary's Redeemers have been preparing for a holy war for centuries-a holy war that is now imminent. And Cale doesn't know that he's been noticed and quietly cultivated.
Then, Cale decides to open a door.
It's a door that leads to one of the Redeemers' darkest secrets and a choice that is really no choice at all: certain death or daring escape. Adrift in the wider world for the first time in his young life, Cale soon finds himself in Memphis, the capitol of culture-and the den of Sin. It's there that Cale discovers his prodigious gift: violence. And he discovers that after years of abuse at the hands of the Redeemers his embittered heart is still capable of loving-and breaking.
But the Redeemers won't accept the defection of their special subject without a fight. As the clash of civilizations that has been looming for thousands of years draws near, a world where the faithful are as brutal as the sinful looks to young Cale to decide its fate.
在西方基督教的教义里,将基督视为上帝的右手,是上帝在人间的代理者,行使正义与公正,以拯救受难的世人。做为一种微妙的平衡,上帝的左手则并不常常为人所提及,一般将之视为上帝的惩罚,做为人类罪恶之审判者的威慑令人胆寒。据说印度诗人泰戈尔也曾经有过类似的表达,即:...

評分故事的开始,就被毫无头绪的黑暗牵扯着,看的我一阵头晕目眩,烦躁的不得了。没有历史背景的描写,没有故事缘由的交代,一开场,扔给读者的就是一个充满绝望毫无生气的圣殿。然后是对圣殿这个地方冗长繁复的文字描述。我向来对这样的句子没有抵抗力,很难快速消化。 还好,主...
