Throughout her writing career, Margaret Atwood has received numerous awards and honourary degrees. She is the author of more than thirty-five volumes of poetry, children’s literature, fiction, and non-fiction and is perhaps best known for her novels, which include The Edible Woman (1970), The Handmaid's Tale (1983), The Robber Bride (1994), Alias Grace (1996), and The Blind Assassin, which won the prestigious Booker Prize in 2000. Atwood's dystopic novel, Oryx and Crake, was published in 2003. The Tent (mini-fictions) and Moral Disorder (short stories) both appeared in 2006. Her most recent volume of poetry, The Door, was published in 2007. Her non-fiction book, Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth in the Massey series, appeared in 2008, and her most recent novel, The Year of the Flood, in the autumn of 2009.

Hag-Seed is a re-visiting of Shakespeare’s play of magic and illusion, The Tempest, and will be the fourth novel in the Hogarth Shakespeare series.
The Tempest is set on a remote island full of strange noises and creatures. Here, Prospero, the deposed Duke of Milan, plots to restore the fortunes of his daughter Miranda by using magic and illusion -- starting with a storm that will bring Antonio, his treacherous brother, to him. All Prospero, the great sorcerer, needs to do is watch as the action he has set in train unfolds.
In Margaret Atwood’s ‘novel take’ on Shakespeare’s original, theatre director Felix has been unceremoniously ousted from his role as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Festival. When he lands a job teaching theatre in a prison, the possibility of revenge presents itself – and his cast find themselves taking part in an interactive and illusion-ridden version of The Tempest that will change their lives forever.
There’s a lot of Shakespearean swearing in this new Tempest adventure…but also a mischief, curiosity and vigour that’s entirely Atwood and is sure to delight her fans.
《暴风雨》是莎士比亚生命晚期创作的一部戏剧,也是他创作的最后一个诗剧,讲述了被弟弟篡夺爵位的米兰公爵普洛斯彼罗带着独女米兰达逃到荒岛,依靠魔法成为荒岛主人之后开始复仇的故事。后人多认为会魔法的普洛斯彼罗就是莎士比亚的写照。在《暴风雨》临近尾声时,普洛斯彼罗...
評分对布克奖得主水平和路数的认知完全来自于写出《占有:一段罗曼史》和《天使与昆虫》的拜厄特,在对作者不熟悉的情况下,对本书的大体预期是建立在经验之上,但是开始读没多久,就觉得期望落空了。不可否认这篇文章故事的搭建和细节的处理毫无破绽,但是过于忠实戏剧编导过程的...
評分 評分互文套层结构在如今看来已经不新鲜,但是如果能将这种结构玩出花样来,那就会非常有意思。玛格丽特•阿特伍德的《女巫的子孙》,这部改编自莎士比亚《暴风雨》的小说,可以说,这是阿特伍德的一篇小说论文。将套层结构发挥极致,并借用人物之口变幻加以诠释自身对莎翁这出剧...
評分作为莎翁戏剧《暴风雨》的改编小说,《女巫的子孙》讲了一个围绕《暴风雨》衍生出的不同故事。《暴风雨》的主题是复仇,《女巫的子孙》沿袭了这个思路,但也并没有简单的局限于此。玛格丽特·阿特伍德当然清楚,身居21世纪互联网时代的读者,不会仅仅满足于一个单薄的复仇故事...
Atwood的熱情和自我沉溺讓這部劇becomes almost personal...知道她會寫,但在寫劇本上有technique problem... 不知道為啥國內好像還蠻流行的,可能也是因為新吧。畢竟that’s Jeff’s answer when I asked him why this one...
评分即便沒有看過tempest,也能體會老太太設置的精妙。中後的地方覺得復仇部分並不過癮,可是最後的課堂討論完全超齣預期,還有第九重監獄——戲劇本身,真的太棒!
评分去年因為有可能做它的中文譯者,讀過這本書(雖然後來翻譯的事兒沒成)改編的很妙,卻不是我想要的感覺
评分小說到底更自由,在戲劇空間的延展和角色命運上做瞭更大膽的解構與顛覆,但與原作軌跡依然精準貼閤還大量緻敬其他莎翁作品。不知為什麼最近總是讀到或看到這樣的角色:睏在舊日傷痛中幾近瘋狂,被悲傷啃噬得體無完膚。主角每次迴想起女兒的過往,寥寥字句間灼燒的悔恨讓人心都要碎瞭。
