具體描述
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.

評分《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...

用戶評價
我太喜歡Mantel的文風瞭
评分不是我的菜
评分文字有點晦澀
评分都不記得自己是什麼時候買的這本書，看瞭1/3，搬來搬去時找不到它，又抓起有聲書聽。有時早上化妝時聽Cromwell傢的女孩子們討論Lady Anne的著裝和宮裏流行的時尚，聽Cromwell對Mary Boleyn剋製而暗藏深意的描寫，曆史好像映照現實，女為悅己者容，由此感到深深無奈，似乎是無法擺脫的睏境。這段曆史，配閤Plantagenet，看過不少影視改編和不同作者的曆史描述，Hilary Mantel的語言有時讓我想起Tolstoy，雖是寫實卻讓人覺得充滿理想主義情懷。明明點到即止，卻很容易就能visualize整個場景。再戲劇化的情節，幾個精準的短句迅速帶過，旖旎從風，又暗潮湧動。
评分聽的audible，從頭到尾聽瞭三遍不齣二十分鍾立馬睡著，連早醒型失眠都能治
