Margaret Atwood was born in 1939 in Ottawa and grew up in northern Ontario, Quebec, and Toronto. She received her undergraduate degree from Victoria College at the University of Toronto and her master's degree from Radcliffe College.
Throughout her writing career, Margaret Atwood has received numerous awards and honourary degrees. She is the author of more than thirty-five volumes of poetry, children’s literature, fiction, and non-fiction and is perhaps best known for her novels, which include The Edible Woman (1970), The Handmaid's Tale (1983), The Robber Bride (1994), Alias Grace (1996), and The Blind Assassin, which won the prestigious Booker Prize in 2000. Atwood's dystopic novel, Oryx and Crake, was published in 2003. The Tent (mini-fictions) and Moral Disorder (short stories) both appeared in 2006. Her most recent volume of poetry, The Door, was published in 2007. Her non-fiction book, Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth in the Massey series, appeared in 2008, and her most recent novel, The Year of the Flood, in the autumn of 2009. Ms. Atwood's work has been published in more than forty languages, including Farsi, Japanese, Turkish, Finnish, Korean, Icelandic and Estonian. In 2004 she co-invented the Long Pen TM.
Margaret Atwood currently lives in Toronto with writer Graeme Gibson.
Hag-Seed is a re-visiting of Shakespeare’s play of magic and illusion, The Tempest, and will be the fourth novel in the Hogarth Shakespeare series.
The Tempest is set on a remote island full of strange noises and creatures. Here, Prospero, the deposed Duke of Milan, plots to restore the fortunes of his daughter Miranda by using magic and illusion -- starting with a storm that will bring Antonio, his treacherous brother, to him. All Prospero, the great sorcerer, needs to do is watch as the action he has set in train unfolds.
In Margaret Atwood’s ‘novel take’ on Shakespeare’s original, theatre director Felix has been unceremoniously ousted from his role as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Festival. When he lands a job teaching theatre in a prison, the possibility of revenge presents itself – and his cast find themselves taking part in an interactive and illusion-ridden version of The Tempest that will change their lives forever.
There’s a lot of Shakespearean swearing in this new Tempest adventure…but also a mischief, curiosity and vigour that’s entirely Atwood and is sure to delight her fans.

評分《暴風雨》是莎士比亞生命晚期創作的一部戲劇,也是他創作的最後一個詩劇,講述瞭被弟弟篡奪爵位的米蘭公爵普洛斯彼羅帶著獨女米蘭達逃到荒島,依靠魔法成為荒島主人之後開始復仇的故事。後人多認為會魔法的普洛斯彼羅就是莎士比亞的寫照。在《暴風雨》臨近尾聲時,普洛斯彼羅...
評分我跟很多人一樣,在今年之前不太認識阿特伍德,要不是她1985年創作的《使女的故事》被搬上熒幕,可能未來很長一段時間內都不太知道這個名字。湊巧的是,剛好有機會讀瞭她的新書《女巫的子孫》。 這是一個有趣的改寫計劃,齣版社聯係瞭8位作傢用小說的形式重新創作莎士比亞的8部...

之前讀過一本改編莎士比亞《暴風雨》的現代小說,英文名是《Hag-seed》,中文名是《女巫的子孫》,讀時沒有注意看作者的名字,今天纔知道原來此書居然是Margaret atwood寫的。
評分去年因為有可能做它的中文譯者,讀過這本書(雖然後來翻譯的事兒沒成)改編的很妙,卻不是我想要的感覺
評分好看!竟然看哭瞭
評分2019-12 TERRFIC! But it's a pitty that there is no romance relating to Felix at the end.
評分小說到底更自由,在戲劇空間的延展和角色命運上做瞭更大膽的解構與顛覆,但與原作軌跡依然精準貼閤還大量緻敬其他莎翁作品。不知為什麼最近總是讀到或看到這樣的角色:睏在舊日傷痛中幾近瘋狂,被悲傷啃噬得體無完膚。主角每次迴想起女兒的過往,寥寥字句間灼燒的悔恨讓人心都要碎瞭。
