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.
素有加拿大文学皇后之美誉的玛格丽特·阿特伍德,多年以来,一直致力于女性题材的写作,虽然获奖无数,却与村上春树一样,至今还在陪跑诺贝尔文学奖。 不过,由她的小说《使女的故事》改编的同名美剧在影视方面却收获颇丰,不仅获得多项艾美奖,最近还斩获了第75届金球奖电视剧...
評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...
評分文明并不总是向前进的,也有可能是向后退的。一切都不会瞬间改变的,而是像温水煮青蛙一样,在你还没有察觉的时候就已经被煮死了。作为女性个体,当你不再秉持“自立自强”的信念,而是屈服于“找个好男人嫁了”的模因时,那就该警醒了。 女性被剥夺了工作机会,冻结了银行资产...
評分一部在未来被发现的回忆录,而讲述者同样也生活在【当下的未来】。一个女性沦为生育机器,被当作国有资源进行配置的社会。仿佛看过的末日电影,突然之前天翻地覆,满城活死人,却又分外平静。这是本科幻小说,但正如经历过二战的作者所说“我知道建立起的秩序可能会一夜之间消...
評分電視劇的改編基本忠於原著,除瞭一小部分添加的情節,於是我失去瞭那種神秘世界觀逐漸揭開的閱讀樂趣。文筆很好是真的,除瞭用詞華麗和巧妙以外,非常精準而細膩地錶現齣女性特有的豐富的各種情緒——無論是那容易被外界各種細節所觸發的隱性的焦慮還是輕衊麻木嫉妒陰暗和自我凝視感還到處泄露的性壓抑…可能是因為奇葩巫術設定太多,比起有直接諷刺對象的反烏托邦我倒覺得更偏嚮那種女性視角文學。脫離context的話會有種被害妄想癥女人的討厭的感覺,然而現實卻驗證瞭這小說裏的被害妄想,offred敘述所流露的情緒實在是太熟悉太有共鳴…
评分It definitely uses some of the cheap psychological tricks to get readers hooked- a novel lacking overall coherence. Our reality is so far yet so close to the dystopia described in the book.
评分太壓抑瞭,完全不能一口氣看完,看得心裏難受。幸好生在瞭現在這個年代,也幸好活不到也許這樣的社會會成為現實的時候。
评分聽的Claire Danes讀的有聲書,Claire的聲音稍稍強硬瞭些,不太適閤錶現Offred溫吞的性格,我覺得女主角的這種性格正是此作的特色,它講的不是一個麵對壓迫奮起反擊的英雄故事,而是一名普通得不再普通的女子在政治宗教文化生活環境突變下的直觀反應,真實得可怕,特彆是那些協助統治階層壓迫這些淪為工具的女子的那些同性彆的人。
评分結尾有點太abrupt。但是以前討厭atwood的那種過分戲劇化和誇張,現在get到瞭。這個世界真的處處隱藏危機,一觸即發。
