具体描述

内容简介

It is the world of the near future, and Offred is a Handmaid in the home of the Commander and his wife. She is allowed out once a day to the food market, she is not permitted to read, and she is hoping the Commander makes her pregnant, because she is only valued if her ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she was an independent woman, had a job of her own, a husband and child. But all of that is gone now...everything has changed.

作者简介

When Margaret Atwood announced to her friends that she wanted to be a writer, she was only 16 years old. It was Canada. It was the 1950s. No one knew what to think. Nonetheless, Atwood began her writing career as a poet. Published In 1964 while she was still a student at Harvard, her second poetry anthology, The Circle Game, was awarded the Governor General's Award, one of Canada's most esteemed literary prizes. Since then, Atwood has gone on to publish many more volumes of poetry (as well as literary criticism, essays, and short stories), but it is her novels for which she is best known.

Atwood's first foray into fiction was 1966's The Edible Woman, an arresting story about a woman who stops eating because she feels her life is consuming her. Grabbing the attention of critics, who applauded its startlingly original premise, the novel explored feminist themes Atwood has revisited time and time again during her long, prolific literary career. She is famous for strong, compelling female protagonists -- from the breast cancer survivor in Bodily Harm to the rueful artist in Cat's Eye to the fatefully intertwined sisters in her Booker Prize-winning novel The Blind Asassin.

Perhaps Atwood's most legendary character is Offred, the tragic "breeder" in what is arguably her most famous book, 1985's The Handmaid's Tale. Part fable, part science fiction, and part dystopian nightmare, this novel presented a harrowing vision of women's lives in an oppressive futuristic society. The Washington Post compared it (favorably) to George Orwell's iconic 1984.

As if her status as a multi-award-winning, triple-threat writer (fiction, poetry, and essays) were not enough, Atwood has also produced several children's books, including Princess Prunella and the Purple Peanut (1995) and Rude Ramsay and the Roaring Radishes (2003) -- delicious alliterative delights that introduce a wealth of new vocabulary to young readers.

精彩书评

"In this Orwellian dramatization, religion becomes a tool of repression and social control to force women into the roles of stay-at-home wives, domestic staff, prostitutes, or surrogate mothers. They have no rights to their bodies or property and are completely dependent upon men. Those women who have had at least one child find themselves forced into the role of breeding machine, producing children for childless couples. References to 20th-century issues abound, including Agent Orange, abortion, women's rights, and escape attempts to Canada. At least 14 different readers make it easy for the listener to distinguish among the various characters. Despite sound effects and some indistinguishable white noise, there are a few spots with dead air. This program will be of interest to Atwood fans and those interested in futuristic tales. Recommended for public and academic libraries."

公众号推荐来买的,原价很贵,正好凑着活动一起买。但是质量不敢恭维,原价100多的书,还没有同样是英文原版的老版本书质量好,书的封面明显比内页窄,如果这是正版书,真的是不忍直视了。

  非专业习茶的人要在短时间内掌握充分且正确的茶道入门知识是不容易的,笔者以从事二十五年茶道教学的经验,多次整理这类课程,皆希望使初学者能以最短的时间与精力理解并应用这些知识。为达到这个目的,在写法上,如“茶之制造”就不是依绿茶、乌龙茶、红茶、普洱茶等逐个介绍,而是综合叙述后再补以个别的差异;“茶的分类方式”改以消费者与市场为之,避开了以产业为本位的做法。冲泡与饮用的部分则以实际操作为基础,扎实、明确地求其实用,并配合以美学、思想的人文成分。

  本书在制茶、识茶、泡饮三方面的探讨皆以茶文化之全面性为考量,也就是茶的种类包含了茶家族的全体成员;泡茶、品饮的方法不拘于任何流派与地域性,只论原理、原则的共通性。本书形式上看来是方法、技艺性的论述,然而隐藏其间的是茶道艺术、美学、思想本体架构,我们认为这是学茶的终极目标。

以前把人分成士、农、工、商四等,士列居首位,因为古人最好的出路是做官,想做官,就得读书。大家用"书中自有黄金屋,书中自有颜如玉"鼓励男孩子求取功名,但这些并不是今天我想讲的"读书"。今天我想告诉大家的,不是有黄金屋、有美人颜如玉的书,而是从古到今,数以万计的人用他们毕生的阅历和智慧,写来供做我们头脑滋养品的书。大家想想,写成一本书有多么不容易,写一篇文章都未必写得好,何况是一本书!虽然天下文章一大抄,但是这个"抄"的功夫也不简单。抄等于是一种摘录的工作,不仅摘录,还要言之成理,这其中包含了许多人一辈子的经验与智慧,作者可能要花上经年累月的工夫来完成它,而我们只需要数小时就能吸收,天底下哪有这么便宜的事?
