Teresa of Avila 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

A refreshingly modern reconsideration of Saint Teresa (1515-1582), one of the greatest mystics and reformers to emerge within the sixteenth-century Catholic Church, whose writings are a keystone of modern mystical thought.

From the very beginning of her life in a convent, following the death of her mother and the marriage of her older sister, it was clear that Teresa's expansive nature, intensity, and energy would not be easily confined. Cathleen Medwick shows us a powerful daughter of the Church and her times who was a very human mass of contradictions: a practical and no-nonsense manager, and yet a flamboyant and intrepid presence who bent the rules of monastic life to accomplish her work--while managing to stay one step ahead of the Inquisition. And she exhibited a very personal brand of spirituality, often experiencing raptures of an unorthodox, arguably erotic, nature that left her frozen in one position for hours, unable to speak. Out of a concern for her soul and her reputation, her superiors insisted that she account for every voice and vision, as well as the sins that might have engendered them, thus giving us the account of her life that is now considered a literary masterpiece.

Medwick makes it clear that Teresa considered her major work the reform of the Carmelites, an enterprise requiring all her considerable persuasiveness and her talent for administration. We see her moving about Spain with the assurance (if not the authority) of a man, in spite of debilitating illness, to establish communities of nuns who lived scrupulously devout lives, without luxuries. In an era when women were seldom taken seriously, she even sought and received permission to found two religious houses for men.

In this fascinating account Cathleen Medwick reveals Teresa as both more complex and more comprehensible than she has seemed in the past. She illuminates for us the devout and worldly woman behind the centuries-old iconography of the saint.

  看完电影找来原著读，感觉小说的层次感比电影还要丰富 ，菲尔和彼得两人的博弈紧张又精彩，张力拉满直到最后才喷薄而出。而浑厚又细腻西部景色既中和了这种紧张感，又恰到好处地撑起了所有的故事。看电影时觉得模糊不清的部分，忽略掉的隐晦枝蔓，在小说里都补齐了线索，几个人物的行为全都说得通了。故事里的受害者也绝不仅是女性，作者似乎更多是在质疑传统男性气质的正统地位，为所谓的女性“特质”正名，比单纯从性别角度切入的延展性更高。看完才明白这本书在当时确实足够超前，即使放到现在也意味深长。（p.s.全程代入卷福脸
