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.

評分Happiness. That is what we all want.

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...
