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.

Margaret Atwood currently lives in Toronto with writer Graeme Gibson.
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.
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...
评分 评分《女巫的子孙》其实不能算是一部严格意义上的莎士比亚戏剧的改写作品,因为它创作了一个新故事——现代社会的《暴风雨》版本。只是沿用了《暴风雨》的故事框架和人物设置,旧瓶子装了新酒,还是和旧酒口味很像的新酒。 故事中规中矩,很安全地按照《暴风雨》的起承转合完成了...
评分《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...
评分2019-12 TERRFIC! But it's a pitty that there is no romance relating to Felix at the end.
评分即便没有看过tempest,也能体会老太太设置的精妙。中后的地方觉得复仇部分并不过瘾,可是最后的课堂讨论完全超出预期,还有第九重监狱——戏剧本身,真的太棒!
评分飞机上开始看的,可以当成是不同角度与方法的《暴风雨》解读、教学及戏剧编排来读。故事本身情节结构上向《暴风雨》致敬。
评分大学时候看过她的一篇短篇《rape fantasy》, 很有趣,最近根据她的小说改编的美剧很火,突然想起了读她的书
评分2019-12 TERRFIC! But it's a pitty that there is no romance relating to Felix at the end.
