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.

評分都鐸宮鬥 無法不拜倒在Master Cromwell的魅力之下 本部段位最高的Thomas 期待續篇!
評分這段曆史看瞭很多各個角度的演繹,狼廳追劇在先,迴過頭來看原著倒反而限製瞭想象力和感染力。
評分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".
評分N's present.
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...

評分公元1500年,15岁的少年在被无法无天残暴凶恶的父亲一顿血淋淋地暴打之后,他决定离家出走。年少的他,除了年轻,别无优势。 公元1527年,42岁的他,已是红衣主教托马斯·沃尔西身边的亲信和法律顾问,没有人知道他从15岁到42岁中,这个叫托马斯·克伦威尔的人曾经经历了什么...

評分文/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...
