内容简介
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.
作者简介
玛格丽特·阿特伍德(Margaret Atwood)于1939年11月18日出生加拿大首都渥太华,在家排行老二,有一兄,一妹。父亲是森林植物学家,母亲毕业于多伦多大学,主修家政。阿特伍德七岁时,全家移居多伦多,父亲则任教多伦多大学。
阿特伍德就读于里赛高中时即展露文才,在校刊发表散文及诗作,之后就读多伦多大学的维多利亚学院,师事诺若普·佛莱等教授。毕业时荣获伍卓·威尔森(Woodrow Wilson)奖学金,继续在哈佛大学攻读维多利亚时期英国文学,师承杰隆·巴克利,二十三岁获硕士学位,随即留在哈佛攻读博士课程。1966年自从她的第二本诗集《圈戏》出版后,阿特伍德在加拿大文学界就声名大噪。目前阿特伍德与小说家格姆·吉伯森及女儿洁思定居多伦多市。
在阿特伍德的诗作中,举凡《圈戏》、《在那国度的动物》、《苏珊娜·慕迪的札记》、《诗选》、《双首诗选》及《不见月亮的期间》等,都呈现女性观察入微,深入心灵意识的层面,主题也多围绕“在一个瞬息万变、诡谲的世界里,如何保持清晰意识及自主性”的课题。
1976年的《女法师》、1986年的《贴身仕女的故事》、1988年的《猫眼》、1993年的《强盗新娘》、1996年《别名葛莉丝》及近作2000年8月出版的《盲刺客》皆以独特的阿特伍德叙事手法、复杂的情节铺陈以及女性意识的勾勒,吸引广大的读者。
