THE MAGIC TOYSHOP
Book ID/图书代码： 11701204B07781
English Summary/英文概要： One night Melanie walks through the garden in her mother’s wedding dress. The next morning her world is shattered. Forced to leave the comfortable home of her childhood, she is sent to London to live with relatives she has never met: Aunt Margaret, beautiful and speechless, and her brothers, Francie, whose graceful music belies his clumsy nature, and the volatile Finn, who kisses Melanie in the ruins of the pleasure gardens. And brooding Uncle Philip loves only the life-sized wooden puppets he creates in his toyshop. This classic gothic novel established Angela Carter as one of our most imaginative writers and augurs the themes of her later creative work..
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 安吉拉·卡特擅长使用魔幻写实的技法，以童话故事为基底，描绘出一个又一个色彩华丽斑斓的情欲场景；另一方面，她也承袭英国哥特式的观察方式，利用偏斜的光线，膨胀所有事物的阴影，将微小的黑暗孕育成充满暴戾、令人惊惧的邪恶意象。阅读此书的经验便是如此：华丽明亮却又鬼影幢幢。安吉拉·卡特一向以女性主义作家自居，经常以女性情欲作为小说主题。在这本书中，她将焦点置于女性对自己肉体的最初觉醒上：“这年夏天，十五岁的梅拉尼发现了自己的血肉之躯。哦，我的美利坚，我的新大陆。”故事以此为开端，接续一连串外在环境的急遽改变，描写了一个女孩由首次经历情欲与邪恶，而后又历经种种情感历练的心理成长故事。(DB)
