內容簡介
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.
作者簡介
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.
精彩書評
"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."

本書在製茶、識茶、泡飲三方麵的探討皆以茶文化之全麵性為考量,也就是茶的種類包含瞭茶傢族的全體成員;泡茶、品飲的方法不拘於任何流派與地域性,隻論原理、原則的共通性。本書形式上看來是方法、技藝性的論述,然而隱藏其間的是茶道藝術、美學、思想本體架構,我們認為這是學茶的終極目標。

以前把人分成士、農、工、商四等,士列居首位,因為古人最好的齣路是做官,想做官,就得讀書。大傢用"書中自有黃金屋,書中自有顔如玉"鼓勵男孩子求取功名,但這些並不是今天我想講的"讀書"。今天我想告訴大傢的,不是有黃金屋、有美人顔如玉的書,而是從古到今,數以萬計的人用他們畢生的閱曆和智慧,寫來供做我們頭腦滋養品的書。大傢想想,寫成一本書有多麼不容易,寫一篇文章都未必寫得好,何況是一本書!雖然天下文章一大抄,但是這個"抄"的功夫也不簡單。抄等於是一種摘錄的工作,不僅摘錄,還要言之成理,這其中包含瞭許多人一輩子的經驗與智慧,作者可能要花上經年纍月的工夫來完成它,而我們隻需要數小時就能吸收,天底下哪有這麼便宜的事?
