The Golden Notebook: Perennial Classics Edition

　　本書是英國文學最具女性主義象徵的大師級作品。全書以「自由女性」的一部短篇小說為骨架 (可獨立成篇)，而這短篇小說又分別以黑色、紅色、黃色和藍色四部筆記呈現。屬於「自由女性」的主角用鋼筆斜斜地劃去一頁頁的筆記，留下支離破碎的部分

＂The Golden Notebook is Doris Lessing’s most important work and has left its mark upon the ideas and feelings of a whole generation of women.＂ -- New York Times Book Review

Anna is a writer, author of one very successful novel, who now keeps four notebooks. In one, with a black cover, she reviews the African experience of her earlier years. In a red one she records her political life, her disillusionment with communism. In a yellow one she writes a novel in which the heroine relives part of her own experience. And in a blue one she keeps a personal diary. Finally, in love with an American writer and threatened with insanity, Anna resolves to bring the threads of all four books together in a golden notebook.

Lessing’s best-known and most influential novel, The Golden Notebook retains its extraordinary power and relevance decades after its initial publication.
