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.

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...
评分翻譯得太差了,譯者對中文的駕馭能力基本停留在小學畢業的水平上!不過我如果譯者的小學老師,也會感到羞愧的。有能力還是讀原著吧!
评分狼厅 Wolf Hall 读后感 转自台湾网友:Ruth 亨利八世,第一个知道的是他改革宗教为英国国教,那是我第一段知道关于这个帝王的历史。之后知道他的女儿也就是伊莉莎白女皇,莎士比亚年代时的女皇。后来又有许多电影描述那个年代,而美人心机就是谈论亨利八世为了迎娶安妮而和教...
评分都铎王朝解密 李若庸(国立台北大学历史学系副教授) 本文为台版导读 如果要读者票选一位印象最为深刻的英国国王,那么都铎君主大概抡元无疑了:从结束「玫瑰战争」的亨利七世、娶了六次妻子的亨利八世、化身「乞丐王子」的爱德华六世、登基九日便踏上行刑台的珍.格雷,到「...
