あらすじ・解説
In this episode, we dive into the gripping historical novel 'Wolf Hall' by Hilary Mantel. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the 16th-century Tudor court, the book centers on Thomas Cromwell, a cunning and ambitious lawyer who rises to become the right-hand man of King Henry VIII. As we navigate the political intricacies and complex relationships, we explore themes of power, ambition, and moral ambiguity. Cromwell, a character often vilified in history, is painted in a refreshingly nuanced light. Together, we dissect the author's skill in character development, her masterful use of present tense, and the book's impact on reshaping historical narratives. We also delve into its relevance in modern times and, of course, give our own scores. Tune in for a compelling discussion on a novel that has redefined historical fiction.
