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.

评分Thomas Cromwell,也被使用不同语言的人称作Tomos,Tommaso和Thomaes,Putney的铁匠之子,出生日期不详。他的肖像看起来像杀人犯,有人以为他是威尔士人、爱尔兰人、犹太人、巫师。他的邻居,神圣罗马帝国的大使说他是语言大师,但早年生活成谜。他是个爬到了顶端的幸运儿。故事从Wolsey的倒台开始,庞然大物都不会安静地走开,余音绕梁了很久。Cromwell不是个冷血的人,他只是很practical,不浪费多余的话,不暴露多余的情感。天使一样的Grace死去的时候,他会看起来悲痛多久呢?对Lady Carey算是一种暧昧么?对Wolf Hall的Jane呢?是男人还是父亲的眼光?从Cromwell的角度看出去,一切大概都是"words, just words"的感觉吧。
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。
评分好看!
历史小说与现在时态,似乎是不相兼容的二者,不过,英国作家希拉里•曼特尔的《狼厅》却奇特地将之融汇在一起,因为,“每件历史的背后,都有另一个历史”,曼特尔着意于挖掘其背面的幽微之处,为历史人物留出足够的人性空间,在发展流变中丰满角色的性格。于是,遥远的英...

评分翻譯得太差了,譯者對中文的駕馭能力基本停留在小學畢業的水平上!不過我如果譯者的小學老師,也會感到羞愧的。有能力還是讀原著吧!
评分文/来颖燕,来源《深圳晚报》 读历史小说的时候,我常常会提醒自己,这是小说而非真实的历史。历史已然灰飞烟灭,它在小说家笔下的还原,终究是不可避免主观性的。但意识到这点,不代表排斥历史小说,反而可以直面历史小说中的主观性元素,并且在反思中渐渐靠近那段历史。 文...
评分本文发表于燕赵都市报,未经允许,请勿转载。 说起历史小说,我的印象还停留在《你往何处去》的年代。显翁大气磅礴、苍劲十足的笔法在脑海中留的烙印过于深重了,以至于当我捧起这本勇夺布克奖的《狼厅》时还颇有些不适应。尤瑟纳尔之后,很少读女性作家写的历史小说,乔治...
