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 评分开头看了三遍，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After watching the BBC TV adaptation of Mantel's novels, I went back and re-read the New Yorker profile of Mantel (http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/10/15/the-dead-are-real) and was mesmerized once again. She is such a fascinating author! So the main c...
评分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...

Thomas Cromwell is remaking himself, and a sovereign. He suffices the King's needs while destroying a disgusting church, plus the despicable, people-burning Thomas More. The plot is delicately simple, yet scenes are magically present. The author could have done readers a greater service by replacing 80% of the "he" with just simply "Cromwell".
评分文字有点晦涩
