The three people largely responsible for the founding of the National Portrait Gallery are commemorated with busts over the main entrance. At centre is Philip Henry Stanhope, 4th Earl Stanhope, with his supporters on either side, Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay (to Stanhope's left) and Thomas Carlyle (to Stanhope's right). It was Stanhope who, in 1846 as a Member of Parliament (MP), first proposed the idea of a National Portrait Gallery. It was not until his third attempt, in 1856, this time from the House of Lords, that the proposal was accepted. With Queen Victoria's approval, the House of Commons set aside a sum of £2000 to establish the gallery.

Thérèse Desqueyroux (French pronunciation: [teʁɛz dɛskɛʁu]) is the most famous novel by François Mauriac. Thérèse Desqueyroux. Author, François Mauriac.
the author explicitly connects her to one of his mentors, Francois Mauriac. She is a version of Mauriac's Therese Desqueyroux, whose sinful preoccupations and behavior, and whose capacity for evil, have been of no small interest to him.
Taken together, these people make up their creator's take on modern man -- as in Jung's "modern man in search of a soul." (Mr. Endo has studied psychoanalysis with interest, especially its Jungian variant.) All of these "cases" (again, save Otsu) have tried to live conventional, reasonably successful secular lives and have failed -- not in a dramatic way (an ostentatious turn to an "alternative life style," a collapse into madness), but with muffled cries of vague apprehension betraying a despair they don't even know, never mind acknowledge. Under such circumstances they are curiously restrained combatants, a seemingly unpromising crew for a traditionally constructed novel with a specific plot: a trip to a strange land; a tour guide who is a religious teacher of sorts; some minor but instructive, even emblematic characters (a young honeymooning couple, the husband a greedily prying photographer, the wife callow and spoiled, who give their creator a chance to comment on the self-indulgent fatuousness of a certain type of Japanese -- and not only Japanese -- youth). Yet Mr. Endo is a master of the interior monologue, and he builds, "case" by "case," chapter by chapter, a devastating critique of a world that has "everything" but lacks moral substance and seems headed nowhere.

is very much a character out of another French novelist's literary and religious imagination: the cure in Georges Bernanos's "Diary of a Country Priest." That cure, too, seems to be a bumbling innocent, no match for the guile of various high and mighty folk, especially certain church bureaucrats who can't for the life of them comprehend him, his nature and his manner of being. This is the Judeo-Christian story, endlessly retold -- by the prophet Isaiah, by the writers of the four Gospels, by a succession of novelists (Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy and Dickens) -- and given by Bernanos the expository life of a rural French parish in the early years of this century: Christ foretold, Christ remembered, Christ evoked.
All through "Deep River" Otsu's pilgrimage haunts Mitsuko, his secular antagonist, and, through her, the other characters in this beautifully wrought, lyrically suggestive story, so charged by the moral energy of its maker -- who (like Thomas Merton at the time of his accidental death in Asia) wants to bring a Catholic sensibility to the shores of Hinduism and Buddhism. Not that this is a novel of easy grace. Doubt, Shusaku Endo has always known, is very much an aspect of faith. In the last pages, his sardonic, shrewd, embittered heroine glimpses "the sorrows of this deep river of humanity," realizes herself to be a part of it and takes a momentary step away from the tenacious pride that has prompted her to be so standoffish. Soon enough, we know, she will be aiming again for her solitary, privileged perch above it all, revealing the defiance of the egoistic observer.
如果說基督教支持我們這個被進入歷史的上帝挑戰的孤獨個體，那麼佛教給了我們準備投降的人，最終，他們可以衡量自己的人性和精神的特殊性，並接受他們的同胞，成為他們的一部分。 人類的大潮。
If Christianity holds up to us the lonely individual challenged by a God who entered history, Buddhism gives us people who are ready to surrender, finally, a measure of their human and spiritual particularity and who, with acceptance, join their fellow creatures as part of the great tide of humanity. Mr. Endo manages to merge both of these streams of faith, bringing them together in a flow that is, indeed, deep. His work is a soulful gift to a world he keeps rendering as unrelievedly parched.他的作品是對一個他一直渲染為無法解脫/焦躁不安。的世界的深情禮物。
