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
格雷厄姆·格林,英国大师级小说家。他厌世悲观到极点,却又最关注灵魂的挣扎和救赎;他作品中“恶”无处不在,暴力、罚罪、背叛堕落比比皆是,可最惊心动魄的却是个人内心的道德和精神斗争;他作品中的人物卑琐、绝望到极点,可是污泥中却能绽放出人性的光彩;他称得上是20世纪最严肃最悲 观最具宗教意识的作家,可同时又是讲故事的圣手,是20世纪整个西方最具明星效应的大师级作家之一,英国20世纪读者最多的小说家之一。
语言很优美。。。应该是我目前看过的英语版本中,描写算是最好的。。。不过,对其宗教的很多观点不敢沟通

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...
