具体描述
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.

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...
评分英国著名作家希拉里•曼尔特（Hilary Mantel）最新作品同样将目光投向热热闹闹的都铎王朝，主人公是当朝最特立独行的传奇人物——克伦威尔（Cromwell）。 托尔斯•莫尔说，“克伦威尔早上被关在深牢大狱,晚上你再去看,他一定已经美美地躺在柔软沙发里,享受他的山珍海味了...

用句间结构营造了一种紧凑感，通过细节的编排让读者能够切身感知到人物的处境。难得的是作者对所有人物都怀着同情，却又仔细包裹在行文之中。
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
评分英国人写起人情世故也是细致入微，几处闲笔就能改变整个人的形象。文字有张力，故事也极精彩。
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。
评分英文有声书。超级长，24个小时。书可能会给三颗半星，但是朗读要给五颗星！开始听的是大表哥读的那版，觉得怪怪的，后来发现是缩减版；后来找到Simon Slater的全版，觉得读得真是好啊，口音和声音都好好听！而且读的Cromwell和Ben Miles演的口音和语气都很像。。。
