Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2009 'Lock Cromwell in a deep dungeon in the morning,' says Thomas More, 'and when you come back that night he'll be sitting on a plush cushion eating larks' tongues, and all the gaolers will owe him money.' England, the 1520s. Henry VIII is on the throne, but has no heir. Cardinal Wolsey is his chief advisor, charged with securing the divorce the pope refuses to grant. Into this atmosphere of distrust and need comes Thomas Cromwell, first as Wolsey's clerk, and later his successor. Cromwell is a wholly original man: the son of a brutal blacksmith, a political genius, a briber, a charmer, a bully, a man with a delicate and deadly expertise in manipulating people and events. Ruthless in pursuit of his own interests, he is as ambitious in his wider politics as he is for himself. His reforming agenda is carried out in the grip of a self-interested parliament and a king who fluctuates between romantic passions and murderous rages. From one of our finest living writers, 'Wolf Hall' is that very rare thing: a truly great English novel, one that explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics. With a vast array of characters, and richly overflowing with incident, it peels back history to show us Tudor England as a half-made society, moulding itself with great passion, suffering and courage.
Hilary Mantel is one of our most important living writers. She is the author of eleven books, including A Place of Greater Safety, Giving Up the Ghost, and, most recently, Beyond Black, which was shortlisted for the 2006 Orange Prize.
开头看了三遍,看不下去。 翻译青涩,有些地方已经差到造成我的阅读障碍。 标点符号混乱。 这是译文四人合译本,我只想知道开头第一章到底是谁翻译的。

评分《狼厅》读后感 转自台湾网友“LUNA的一字一句”点评: 英国历史对我来说,蛮陌生的,虽然有听过都铎王朝,但要说历史上发生的事,我一概不知,所以在阅读这本书时,除了新鲜外,还有种开扩视野的感觉,而前面的序有助于像我这种不了解的人,更快速进入到故事里,当我读完整本...
都铎宫斗 无法不拜倒在Master Cromwell的魅力之下 本部段位最高的Thomas 期待续篇!
评分这段历史看了很多各个角度的演绎,狼厅追剧在先,回过头来看原著倒反而限制了想象力和感染力。
评分渐入佳境,越来越喜欢她的叙事风格,没有一个单词是废话
评分N's present.
评分都不记得自己是什么时候买的这本书,看了1/3,搬来搬去时找不到它,又抓起有声书听。有时早上化妆时听Cromwell家的女孩子们讨论Lady Anne的着装和宫里流行的时尚,听Cromwell对Mary Boleyn克制而暗藏深意的描写,历史好像映照现实,女为悦己者容,由此感到深深无奈,似乎是无法摆脱的困境。这段历史,配合Plantagenet,看过不少影视改编和不同作者的历史描述,Hilary Mantel的语言有时让我想起Tolstoy,虽是写实却让人觉得充满理想主义情怀。明明点到即止,却很容易就能visualize整个场景。再戏剧化的情节,几个精准的短句迅速带过,旖旎从风,又暗潮涌动。
