The Power and the Glory (权力与荣耀) - by Graham Greene

墨西哥荒芜的烈日下,一位满身污点的神父逃亡在路上,兀鹰飞过。

一路上,神父不仅要躲避迫害与追捕,也进行着欲望与道德的激烈斗争:

是弃绝神职的权力,堕落地偷生,

还是坚持信仰的荣耀,在死亡边缘挣扎?

神父既不坚定也不彻底,但最终他必须作出选择。

而权力与荣耀拉扯着他的灵魂,直到一个更高也更危险的地方。

Graham Greene explores corruption and atonement in this penetrating novel set in 1930s Mexico during the era of Communist religious persecutions. As revolutionaries determine to stamp out the evils of the church through violence, the last Roman Catholic priest is on the lam, hunted by a police lieutenant. Despite his own sense of worthlessness—he is a heavy drinker and has fathered an illegitimate child—he is determined to continue to function as a priest until captured. He is contrasted with Padre Jose, a priest who has accepted marriage and embodies humiliation.

A Christian parable pitting God and religion against 20th-century materialism, The Power and the Glory is considered by many, including the author himself, to be Greene’s best work.
