劳伦·维斯贝格尔,著名时尚杂志《VOGUE》前主编助理。《时尚女魔头》是她的处女作,引起强烈震动。
A delightfully dishy novel about the all-time most impossible boss in the history of impossible bosses.
Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job “a million girls would die for.” Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child.
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA gives a rich and hilarious new meaning to complaints about “The Boss from Hell.” Narrated in Andrea’s smart, refreshingly disarming voice, it traces a deep, dark, devilish view of life at the top only hinted at in gossip columns and over Cosmopolitans at the trendiest cocktail parties. From sending the latest, not-yet-in-stores Harry Potter to Miranda’s children in Paris by private jet, to locating an unnamed antique store where Miranda had at some point admired a vintage dresser, to serving lattes to Miranda at precisely the piping hot temperature she prefers, Andrea is sorely tested each and every day—and often late into the night with orders barked over the phone. She puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get Andrea a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, however, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide whether or not the job is worth the price of her soul.

很早就想看看原著是什么样子的,看过电影后总想看看原著。 这几天正好有空,总算把这本书看过。 书和电影其实差不大多,就是在细节上有点出处! 我很感概,好莱坞 竟然可以把这么长的一本书 压缩成一个半小时的电影! 了不起的好莱坞 最近看了一些关于,为了工作而牺牲自己感情...
评分十分怀疑作者劳伦在写这本书的时候是一种什么目的或状态——报复?发泄?整本书看下来让人觉得很不舒服——一个整天穿着Jimmy Choo,Chanel,Versace,Gucci的主编助理Andrea(现实原型就是作者自己)每天都在抱怨她的工作,上司,同事,甚至她身边的朋友。 她的工作发挥...
评分以前看 The Devil wears Prada 的电影,总觉得味道不太对,一直想读一下原版书,最近赋闲在家,终于有时间。 看了蛮有同感的,也许是因为第一份工作也是助理性质,给美籍华人的职业经理人做英文秘书,的确是有点Miranda那样的做派。 第一天上班发现原来不只一个秘书,有和书中E...
评分终于,这周officially啃完了The Devil Wears Prada一书,这好像还是本人读的第一本当代英文小说,自然跟看狄更斯等古人的感觉很不一样。最直观的感觉就是简单,完全不用像以前读书的时候啃古书隔两个词查一下字典,很顺的可以看下来,完全make sense不费力。不过俺这种超慢速阅...
评分You remind me of myself when I was your age. Here is a rule of thumb: if you are not sure what you will be like ten years from now, just observe your colleagues or your boss, and very probably, you will become one of them. Andrea’s last straw is not Mir...
