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.
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.
小说没有描写男人女人的直接对立,而是让国家机器掌握了所有人的命运。 现实生活中我们所看到的所谓男女平等 LGBT平权不过是政治化的,符合当局者利益的产物。当需要劳动力的时候女性被迫有了工作的权利去和男人争取平等的自由。当需要女性为社会创造劳动力时,自然会要求你回...
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...
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.
评分听的Claire Danes读的有声书,Claire的声音稍稍强硬了些,不太适合表现Offred温吞的性格,我觉得女主角的这种性格正是此作的特色,它讲的不是一个面对压迫奋起反击的英雄故事,而是一名普通得不再普通的女子在政治宗教文化生活环境突变下的直观反应,真实得可怕,特别是那些协助统治阶层压迫这些沦为工具的女子的那些同性别的人。
评分是我想象中的女性叙事一种高度
评分A novel about sex, language, power, taboo, the past, hope and desperation, romance… 很久没读过内容这么丰富而且好看的书了,结局也是出乎意料而震撼人心的,鸡冻地不知道论文写啥了。
评分该书关于欲望的描写概括起来就是:百爪挠心,先痒后痛。。最后那个historical note让作品惊悚程度更上一层楼
