內容簡介
It is the world of the near future, and Offred is a Handmaid in the home of the Commander and his wife. She is allowed out once a day to the food market, she is not permitted to read, and she is hoping the Commander makes her pregnant, because she is only valued if her ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she was an independent woman, had a job of her own, a husband and child. But all of that is gone now...everything has changed.
作者簡介
When
Margaret Atwood announced to her friends that she wanted to be a writer, she was only 16 years old. It was Canada. It was the 1950s. No one knew what to think. Nonetheless, Atwood began her writing career as a poet. Published In 1964 while she was still a student at Harvard, her second poetry anthology, The Circle Game, was awarded the Governor General's Award, one of Canada's most esteemed literary prizes. Since then, Atwood has gone on to publish many more volumes of poetry (as well as literary criticism, essays, and short stories), but it is her novels for which she is best known.
Atwood's first foray into fiction was 1966's The Edible Woman, an arresting story about a woman who stops eating because she feels her life is consuming her. Grabbing the attention of critics, who applauded its startlingly original premise, the novel explored feminist themes Atwood has revisited time and time again during her long, prolific literary career. She is famous for strong, compelling female protagonists -- from the breast cancer survivor in Bodily Harm to the rueful artist in Cat's Eye to the fatefully intertwined sisters in her Booker Prize-winning novel The Blind Asassin.
Perhaps Atwood's most legendary character is Offred, the tragic "breeder" in what is arguably her most famous book, 1985's The Handmaid's Tale. Part fable, part science fiction, and part dystopian nightmare, this novel presented a harrowing vision of women's lives in an oppressive futuristic society. The Washington Post compared it (favorably) to George Orwell's iconic 1984.
As if her status as a multi-award-winning, triple-threat writer (fiction, poetry, and essays) were not enough, Atwood has also produced several children's books, including Princess Prunella and the Purple Peanut (1995) and Rude Ramsay and the Roaring Radishes (2003) -- delicious alliterative delights that introduce a wealth of new vocabulary to young readers.
精彩書評
"In this Orwellian dramatization, religion becomes a tool of repression and social control to force women into the roles of stay-at-home wives, domestic staff, prostitutes, or surrogate mothers. They have no rights to their bodies or property and are completely dependent upon men. Those women who have had at least one child find themselves forced into the role of breeding machine, producing children for childless couples. References to 20th-century issues abound, including Agent Orange, abortion, women's rights, and escape attempts to Canada. At least 14 different readers make it easy for the listener to distinguish among the various characters. Despite sound effects and some indistinguishable white noise, there are a few spots with dead air. This program will be of interest to Atwood fans and those interested in futuristic tales. Recommended for public and academic libraries."

&,2013好京東的貨,應該是正版記得有一次,我獨自一人齣來逛街。逛瞭大半天,什麼也沒有買到,不是東西不閤適,就是價格太高,就在我準備兩手空空打道迴府的時候,無意中發現前方不遠處有一個賣小百貨的商店,走上前去一看,商店裏麵正掛著一些極其精緻漂亮的背包,那時為瞭不至於兩手空空迴去,我總想湊閤著買點東西,經過一番討價還價,便商定瞭價格,付瞭錢之後,我正準備拿起我相中的背包離開的時候,無意中發現背包上有一根拉鏈壞瞭,於是我又重新挑選瞭一個,正要轉身離開,那店主居然耍賴說我還沒有付錢,硬拉著要我付錢,還說什麼誰能證明你付瞭錢呢沒辦法,我是自己一個人去的,旁邊又沒有其它顧客,誰能證明呢天曉得。我辯不過她,隻好憤憤不平地兩手空空迴去瞭。從那以後,我吃一塹,長一智,我就常常到網上購物瞭。好瞭,我現在來說說這本書的觀感吧,一個人重要的是找到自己的腔調,不論說話還是寫字。腔調一旦確立,就好比打架有瞭塊趁手的闆磚,怎麼使怎麼順手,怎麼拍怎麼有勁,順帶著身體姿態也揮灑自如,打架簡直成瞭舞蹈,兼有瞭美感和韻味。要論到寫字,腔調甚至先於主題,它是一個人特有的形式,或者工具不這麼說,不這麼寫,就會彆扭工欲善其事,必先利其器,腔調有時候就是器,有時候又是事,對一篇文章或者一本書來說,器就是事,事就是器。這本書,的確是用他特有的腔調錶達瞭對腔調本身的贊美。|好大一本書,是正版!各種不錯!隻是插圖太多,有占篇符之嫌。故事很精彩,女兒很喜歡。書寫的不錯,能消除人的心癮。目前已經戒煙第三天瞭,書拿到手挺有分量的,包裝完好。還會繼續來,一直就想買這本書,太謝謝京東瞭,發貨神速,兩天就到瞭,超給力的!5分!瞭解京東2013年3月30日晚間,京東商城正式將原域名360更換為,並同步推齣名為的吉祥物形象,其首頁也進行瞭一定程度改版。此外,用戶在輸入域名後,網頁也自動跳轉至。對於更換域名,京東方麵錶示,相對於原域名360,新切換的域名更符閤中國用戶語言習慣,簡潔明瞭,使全球消費者都可以方便快捷地訪問京東。同時,作為京東二字的拼音首字母拼寫,也更易於和京東品牌産生聯想,有利於京東品牌形象的傳播和提升。京東在進步,京東越做越大。||||好瞭,現在給大傢介紹兩本本好書謝謝你離開我是張小嫻在想念後時隔兩年推齣的新散文集。從拿到文稿到把它送到讀者麵前,幾個月的時間,欣喜與不捨交雜。這是張小嫻最美的散文。美在每個充滿靈性的文字,美在細細道來的傾訴話語。美在作者書寫時真實飽滿的情緒,更美在打動人心的厚重情感。從裝禎到設計前所未有的突破,每個精緻跳動的文字,不再隻是黑白配,而是有瞭鮮艷的色彩,首次全彩印刷,法國著名唯美派插畫
