Margaret Atwood, the author of "The Handmaid's Tale" is a representative work, and Ferrante, the author of "My Brilliant Girlfriend", recommends a must-read list for women. "The Blind Assassin" is Atwood's novel published in 2000. It was also her first work to win the Booker Prize. She had been shortlisted three times before and finally won the award for this book. The novel is grand in length, ingenious in conception, and skillful in writing techniques. It is a landmark work in which Atwood's personal creation has entered a mature stage. The novel tells the story of the different encounters of two women in the Chase family. Through layers of nested narratives, in the interweaving of fiction and reality, it gradually reveals the truth that has been obscured by memories. It also reveals the complex inner world of women in modern society and their very different moods when facing the male-dominated external world. At the same time, the writer uses these cyclical narrative voices to skillfully switch between a variety of seemingly disparate literary styles, boldly expanding the narrative mode of the novel, and constantly breaking through the boundaries of imagination. The novel's psychological and emotional descriptions of the characters are detailed and in-depth, and its narrative language is full of poetry and beauty. It is ultimately presented as a rare masterpiece.

What do we want? Money, wisdom, or hope? Why do we have the innate urge to tell stories? Is art in our nature? Am I an unscrupulous feminist? Has the situation for women improved?

What's next? Human society in the 21st century has witnessed too many great changes.

We call those women who dare to break the rules and long for the unknown Wilderness Women. Now, ladies and gentlemen, let us invite the "Lady of the Wilderness" to make her debut - "Furball": A lover's betrayal is nothing, even if she takes revenge, she must find another way. "Isis in the Dark": Does anyone still write poetry in this impetuous era? She is the light that has not disappeared in the ordinary world. "Clay Man": She can give a man divinity, but of course she can also take away his aura at any time. 10 Stories, 10 women who actively survive in the wilderness of life tell you: life is not a track, but a wilderness that can be explored to your heart's content.

Margaret Atwood, the author of "The Handmaid's Tale" and the world's most popular spokesperson for female writing, is a masterpiece of poetry. The famous poet Wu Ang translated the poems and faithfully restored the female voices, letting words illuminate the darkness and witnessing reality with imagination. This book collects Atwood's poetry from 1995 to 2007. Through these works, she seeks to explore the nature of poetry, passages in time, and our shared moral consciousness. This is a brave, passionate collection of poetry that reflects on and interrogates the standpoints of human life, reaffirming Atwood's status as one of the most important English-language poets of our time. Atwood specializes in blank free verse, and has conducted various explorations in poetry forms and creative techniques over the years. Her poems are restrained and calm, focusing on the rhythm of words and the presentation of images. She is also good at using rich creative techniques such as collage and word games. Compared with her early works, these poems in her mature period of creation show a trend of being simpler, clearer and sharper, conveying the poet's powerful spiritual heritage and her examination of society and the times with cold or even sharp language.

This book collects Margaret Atwood's essays from 1970 to the beginning of the 21st century, including book reviews, literary reviews, creative talks, obituaries, etc. This collection of essays is more like an informal autobiography, showing readers a life full of curiosity. She is a witty critic who offers unique insights into the works of Updike, Angela Carter and others; she is also a cool skeptic who reserves her own views on "female bad behavior" in Canadian history and novels. Her life is as exciting as her narrative: a haunted farm, a misogynistic interview host, an arctic adventure with food poisoning, and literary festivals around the world, leaving readers dizzying. Naturally, there are also reviews of the creation of some classic works, such as "The Handmaid's Tale", "Alias ​​Grace", "Oryx and Crake" and so on. Atwood uses his rich and varied perspective to lead readers on a literary journey, and also goes deep into the reverse flow of time, looking back at some landmark events in the twentieth century and witnessing our journey to the twenty-first century.

The sequel to Atwood's acclaimed "Oryx and Crake" and the second installment in the "Mad Adam" series. In "The Year of the Flood", the flood that mankind has long feared has finally arrived. This "waterless flood" had nothing to do with the biblical floods sent by God to sweep away evil and sin: it was a rapidly spreading disease that could not be suppressed by biological means, engulfing city after city like fire, turning the world into a slaughterhouse of corpses. This "flood" killed tens of millions of people and almost wiped out all traces of humankind. Ryan and Toby became the few survivors. In the shadow of a corrupt ruling power and the threat of a new genetically engineered species, Ryan and Toby must quickly decide their next move and not just lock themselves in a temporary safe house. The floods described in "The Year of the Flood" have nothing to do with the floods God sent to sweep away evil and sin in biblical stories. "The Year of the Flood" takes us into a weird world - both weird as the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and as absurd as "A Clockwork Orange". Everything has fallen apart. In a sense, Atwood's new film is a companion piece to his 2003 film, Oryx and Crake.

Five years later, when these three sisters-in-law women shared lunch, the impossible happened: "waves of malice flowed out of the body like cosmic rays," and Zenia returned...
