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。

公眾號推薦來買的,原價很貴,正好湊著活動一起買。但是質量不敢恭維,原價100多的書,還沒有同樣是英文原版的老版本書質量好,書的封麵明顯比內頁窄,如果這是正版書,真的是不忍直視瞭。

這本書談的是初入茶道最急切需要知道的三篇課目,第一是“茶如何製成?”如果連茶是怎麼形成的都不知道,那喝起茶來不就像瞎子摸象?第二是“各種茶的認識”,市麵上的茶葉有那麼多種類,它們的區彆何在,如果沒有一些理論性的理解,難以進入欣賞的領域。第三是“如何享用一杯茶?”包括衝泡與飲用。學茶當然要喝茶,而且也隻有從喝茶中纔能獲得茶的益處,纔能體會到以茶為載體的思想、美學境界。
