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.
好看!
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".
評分英文有聲書。超級長,24個小時。書可能會給三顆半星,但是朗讀要給五顆星!開始聽的是大錶哥讀的那版,覺得怪怪的,後來發現是縮減版;後來找到Simon Slater的全版,覺得讀得真是好啊,口音和聲音都好好聽!而且讀的Cromwell和Ben Miles演的口音和語氣都很像。。。

評分英國人寫起人情世故也是細緻入微,幾處閑筆就能改變整個人的形象。文字有張力,故事也極精彩。
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...
評分充满性和暴力元素的都铎王朝 转自 2010-12-23 时代周报 文:巫马期 有报道称《狼厅》是“史上最畅销的历史小说”,显然失之夸张。称“史上最畅销的曼布克奖获奖作品”,就较为稳妥。而陆谷孙先生说,《狼厅》卖得不过尔尔,还不如同样进入曼布克奖候选的另一位女作家的...
評分我绕了好远的路才找到这本书。最初在美国版Vogue杂志里读到一篇文章叫Second Act, 讲了几位四十岁以上的女子如何开始她们的第二个人生,从中认识了一个英国女作家,被她的人生故事和人生态度所打动,买了她的一本书《Mary Queen of Scots》来读,于是跌入了英国都铎王朝的历史...
