本书收录八个短篇。主人公都是武士时代的上班族,每天到藩城里工作,下班回家还得搞些副业补贴家用。藤泽周平擅长透过出身卑微的武士,将小人物的喜怒哀乐刻画得淋漓尽致,人、情、景清淡细腻却纠结人心,即使发生在数百年前的武士世界,依旧引人共鸣。 书中八个故事主人公都很类似,完全没有中国武侠小说主人公英俊潇洒、武艺绝伦、年少多金之类的特性,他们都像普通的野草,平凡、卑微。经常被别人践踏,但却会在那一瞬间爆发出巨大的力量,让生命只在那一刹那如鲜花绽放,而后迅速归于平淡。
八个故事只讲一件事:一个男人如何“善刀而藏”。这样的故事教人珍重现世,能让你想起同事中的某甲,路人中的某乙。在他们平庸的面容底下,平淡的相处之外,是否也有着动人的故事呢?

Unabridged on mp3 audio disk. How does good spoil, and how can bad be redeemed? In his penetrating novel The Power and the Glory, Graham Greene explores corruption and atonement through a priest and the people he encounters. In the 1930s one Mexican state has outlawed the Church, naming it a source of greed and debauchery. The priests have been rounded up and shot by firing squad--save one, the whisky priest. On the run, and in a blur of alcohol and fear, this outlaw meets a dentist, a banana farmer, and a village woman he knew six years earlier. For a while, he is accompanied by a toothless man--whom he refers to as his Judas and does his best to ditch. Always, an adamant lieutenant is only a few hours behind, determined to liberate his country from the evils of the church. On the verge of reaching a safer region, the whisky priest is repeatedly held back by his vocation, even though he no longer feels fit to perform his rites: "When he was gone it would be as if God in all this space between the sea and the mountains ceased to exist. Wasn't it his duty to stay, even if they despised him, even if they were murdered for his sake? even if they were corrupted by his example?" As his sins and dangers increase, the broken priest comes to confront the nature of piety and love. Still, when he is granted a reprieve, he feels himself sliding into the old arrogance, slipping it on like the black gloves he used to wear. Greene has drawn this man--and all he encounters--vividly and viscerally. He may have said The Power and the Glory was "written to a thesis," but this brilliant theological thriller has far more mysteries--and troubling ideals--than certainties. --Joannie Kervran Stangeland
