Doris Lessing's contemporary gothic horror story—centered on the birth of a baby who seems less than human—probes society's unwillingness to recognize its own brutality.Harriet and David Lovatt, parents of four children, have created an idyll of domestic bliss in defiance of the social trends of late 1960s England. While around them crime and unrest surge, the Lovatts are certain that their old-fashioned contentment can protect them from the world outside—until the birth of their fifth baby. Gruesomely goblin-like in appearance, insatiably hungry, abnormally strong and violent, Ben has nothing innocent or infant-like about him. As he grows older and more terrifying, Harriet finds she cannot love him, David cannot bring himself to touch him, and their four older children are afraid of him. Understanding that he will never be accepted anywhere, Harriet and David are torn between their instincts as parents and their shocked reaction to this fierce and unlovable child whose existence shatters their belief in a benign world.

Tremendously disturbed but I think deep down we're all at some level fascinated by a darker Quasimodo. As if compelled to see he finally bring about annihilation of everything we ever believed to be undestructable — the only right thing to be done. Totally understand Harriet, maternal, Catholic and fatalistic, but hell, I would go nowhere near her.
评分Happiness. That is what we all want.
评分Time passed. It did pass.
评分Not what I expected. Thought it would be a horror story, but it is more like a book about family, about the relationship, and education

因为一直对儿童感兴趣,初次看到薄薄的一本灰色暗纸花纹的书时,就被它麻布的质感以及烫印的黑色金属般的字给吸引了。第五个孩子?会有什么样子的呢?像安徒生童话里面上帝赐予的安吉尔吗?哦,那一定是一个特别可爱迷人的小家伙。 打开封面,莱辛的文字简练而平易,读起来如行...
评分这是12年的某个下午在图书馆里看完的书。书评写在空间上了。粘过来。 其实对作者的深意仍没看的很明了。 暂且写一写我看到的一些吧。 海蕊和大卫,确实像两个边缘人,书一开始便反复的说着他们与那个社会的种种格格不入。追求着简单幸福的生活——多要一些孩子,一个宽敞舒适...
评分 评分沒有人看這本《第五個孩子》時會有笑聲。如同它書封上寫著的,這是一本令人毛骨悚然的故事,所想必閱讀的時候,應該會是驚恐的,更別說是發出笑聲了。我不知道為什麼寫書介的人會用這「毛骨悚然」來形容它,是因為這第五個孩子「班」的怪異的行為,以及它根本不像人類的種種?...
评分每当我看完一本书,或者不等看完,脑子里就会对那本书有个印象,很多时候最终会归结成一个句子或一个词语,有时候如灵光乍现,也有的时候是慢慢慢慢地像滴水穿石。我如果写书评,通常会用那些句子或词语做标题。 扯远了,似乎。读《第五个孩子》的时候,脑子里的句子是...
