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.

sorta half-baked, unsatisfactory ending for a novel with such emphasis on pushing the plot forward
評分很難想象這麼拖遝,這麼不可怕不可信的毫無想象力的小說的作者是諾貝爾文學奬獲得者。或者諾貝爾文學奬其實不過也隻是《楚天都市報》編輯的水平。
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.
評分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

“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...
評分 評分是不是人越活越复杂?想的越来越多,原本很简单纯粹的问题,总是会摊铺来看…… 海蕊和戴维的相识有点不可思议,对待婚姻对待孩子的态度倒是契合… 他们先后拥有了四名子女, 他们有着周围人觉得过大的房子, 他们有着与四个孩子生活并不等称的收入来源,幸好,他们的父母多少...

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...
