MARGARET ATWOOD, whose work has been published in over thirty-five countries, is the author of more than forty books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays. In addition to The Handmaid's Tale, her novels include Cat's Eye, shortlisted for the Booker Prize; Alias Grace, which won the Giller Prize in Canada and the Premio Mondello in Italy; The Blind Assassin, winner of the 2000 Booker Prize; and her most recent, Oryx and Crake, shortlisted for the 2003 Booker Prize. She lives in Toronto with writer Graeme Gibson.
From the bestselling author of Alias Grace and the MaddAddam trilogy, here is the #1 New York Times bestseller and seminal work of speculative fiction from the Booker Prize-winning author.
Now a Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss, Samira Wiley, and Joseph Fiennes. Includes a new introduction by Margaret Atwood.
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable.
Offred can remember the days before, when she lived and made love with her husband Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now….
Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and literary tour de force.
已经很久没有哪本书让我在阅读的时候,几乎从头到底都感觉内心各种情绪翻滚翻腾的了。 事实上,这并不让我意外。 早在2015年我第一次拿起这本出版于1985年的反乌托邦小说, 读了近30% 就让我不得不放下手中的书,暂停, 然后几乎两年都不曾再拾起。 原因很简单,Atwood让我从明...
评分生儿育女,从个体上讲,关乎家庭幸福,是私人的事;若从整体来看,则关乎国家兴衰,是全社会的事。人口结构对社会、经济、资源各方面都有直接的影响,甚至改变全人类的未来生存状态,毕竟人类得以世代延续靠的就是繁衍生息。 如果人类面临严重的生育危机,该当如何呢?早在三十...
评分看书前就听说这是个政治恐怖小说,果真,整本书里,几乎没有一个对笑容的描写,一些都是沉抑的,没有情感的。故事围绕着Offred (the Handmaid)的命运,她生活在一个做爱是为了繁殖,一切都由权威控制的社会。 一本很好的反乌托邦的书,由于一切都是虚幻的,所以有不少书评家...
评分 评分文:鱼鲜支 最近读的几本书里,印象最深的是一本《使女的故事》,加拿大作家玛格丽特·阿特伍德创作于1984年的幻想小说。 根据这本小说改编的同名美剧,去年夺得艾美奖五项大奖,今年第二季的豆瓣评分又达到了9.1分。原著小说也随之大热,在出版三十年后登顶美国亚马逊畅销书榜...
It was not as good as I have expected, by 1/3, I was still a bit confused. There are, of course, good points reflected in the book, about women, love, desire, sex, reproduction, mind, idea, etc. Yet it is not gripping nor powerful enough to shock one to the core.But maybe it is because similar situations are not unseen in Chinese history.
评分Moira, the singular of Moirai (Fates), Greek deities, incarnations of destiny, including Atropos, Lakhesis and Clotho. So sad to see her finally yield to the tides, for she's the only one that jumps out of this messy blur. How I wish the last I knew of her would be the woman walking out of the Red Centre, head held high. That would just be perfect.

评分开始觉得特别derivative(dystopian小说初看都长差不多),后面才喜欢
评分结尾有点太abrupt。但是以前讨厌atwood的那种过分戏剧化和夸张,现在get到了。这个世界真的处处隐藏危机,一触即发。
