Doris Lessing's contemporary gothic horror story—centered on the birth of a baby who seems less than human—probes society's unwillingness to recognize its own brutality.Harriet and David Lovatt, parents of four children, have created an idyll of domestic bliss in defiance of the social trends of late 1960s England. While around them crime and unrest surge, the Lovatts are certain that their old-fashioned contentment can protect them from the world outside—until the birth of their fifth baby. Gruesomely goblin-like in appearance, insatiably hungry, abnormally strong and violent, Ben has nothing innocent or infant-like about him. As he grows older and more terrifying, Harriet finds she cannot love him, David cannot bring himself to touch him, and their four older children are afraid of him. Understanding that he will never be accepted anywhere, Harriet and David are torn between their instincts as parents and their shocked reaction to this fierce and unlovable child whose existence shatters their belief in a benign world.

Not what I expected. Thought it would be a horror story, but it is more like a book about family, about the relationship, and education

評分Tremendously disturbed but I think deep down we're all at some level fascinated by a darker Quasimodo. As if compelled to see he finally bring about annihilation of everything we ever believed to be undestructable — the only right thing to be done. Totally understand Harriet, maternal, Catholic and fatalistic, but hell, I would go nowhere near her.

万事令人厌烦,人不可能说尽。眼看,看不饱;耳听,听不足。已有之事,后必有之;已行之事,后必再行。日光之下,并无新事。 ——《旧约 传道书》 即使知道自己的执拗与自私已经深深伤害到了丈夫和父母,可她仍旧坚持从...
評分一个故事的两个角度 ——读多丽丝•莱辛的《第五个孩子》和《浮世畸零人》 西门媚/文 这两本书看似是一个故事的上下两部分,但给人的心理感受却完全不同。 读《第五个孩子》的时候,完全想不到后面还有那样一个视角和结局。 《第五个孩子》讲述一对平凡的夫妇,有着普通...
評分因为一直对儿童感兴趣,初次看到薄薄的一本灰色暗纸花纹的书时,就被它麻布的质感以及烫印的黑色金属般的字给吸引了。第五个孩子?会有什么样子的呢?像安徒生童话里面上帝赐予的安吉尔吗?哦,那一定是一个特别可爱迷人的小家伙。 打开封面,莱辛的文字简练而平易,读起来如行...
評分我曾经做过一个关于政治倾向的测试,之前满心以为自己一定是右边的,没想到结果是一半一半。 看【第五个孩子】的时候,我忍不住老是想到这件事。 人,从生存的权利来看,是生而平等的吧。没有谁有权利剥夺别人的生命。 那么畸形儿呢? 哦,可怜的班,他身上带着罕见...
評分“可怜的班。” 这是小说中给我印象最深的一句话。 那时班还很小,他几乎不懂得这句话的含义,他称自己为“可怜的班”。也许只是因为他听到别人这么说他,也许,他真的觉得自己可怜。看到这里的时候,我脑中仿佛被一个大锤狠狠地震了一下,猛然惊醒过来。 班生活在一个幸福的家...
