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.
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...
评分 评分这个一星,是评给译者的。拒绝这本书,因为译者站在作者的对立面,随时随刻找机会扭曲作者原意。你花了钱、花了时间、花了精力,最后得到的是跟作者意思截然相反或者不知扭曲到何处的刻意误读,得到错误信息,还不知道究竟错在哪里,连调整都无从可调。效果跟喝百草枯一模一样...

评分正因为所有事情都曾真实地发生过,禁止堕胎、月经警察、秘密处决、人口清洗,使得把它归类为科幻小说真的很讽刺。 喜欢看女性写女性,因为知道她的心里究竟在想什么,女人如此感性,被爱与欲望驱使着,盲信于人,善良而温顺,女人的恐惧又是根植于生命里的,渗透在生活所有缝隙...
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.
评分设定其实没什么说服力,但写得真的太好了!期待电视剧!
评分好久没看英文书确实读得慢,这么薄一本书看了快两个月。作者构建的未来社会其实一点不觉得科幻,并且让我惊叹的是八十年代写的小说就已经写下了伊斯兰恐怖分子,这不由得让我慢慢意识到宗教斗争也许从未也不会停止。基于原教旨主义建立的GILEAD国,一套套严苛控制思想和行为的制度,强压下让人失去反抗的能力,认为这就是新常态,这种政府管理的做法,新鲜吗?仿佛就漂浮在我们的身边。但让人感到一丝光亮的是,作者笔下的主要人物,都在集权制度的夹缝中偷偷“生活”,这依然是人性使然。世界发展是极其不均衡的,这些事情显然在不同国家地区不同时代,都在上演。小说构建了这种世界格局,但戛然而止的结局,让人捉急,看来作者也不知道,这样的事情有没有一个结局。也许并没有。
