内容简介

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. But Katniss has been close to death before - and survival, for her, is second nature. "The Hunger Games" is a searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present. Booktopia Buzz Review: "The Hunger Games is a gripping, futuristic novel set in post-apocalyptic North America. Katniss Everdeen is a dirt-poor teenager from District 12. Each year the autocratic government holds "The Hunger Games" in which they randomly select two participants from each of the 12 districts to compete and there is only one rule - kill or be killed. It is definitely a winner."

　　苏珊·柯林斯（Suzanne·Collins），苏珊·柯林斯1991年就开始儿童电视剧创作。她为“尼科罗登”儿童台创作的《克拉丽莎都知道》及《谢尔比·吴的神秘档案》系列剧，获得了艾美奖。她还著有畅销系列奇幻小说《地底纪事》（Underland Chronicles）。柯林斯对于《饥饿游戏》的写作动机是这样说的，那来自于她一天扫电视频道时得到的灵感，现实生活的真人秀竞赛和有关战争的报道“交织在一起，都令人感到不安”。这两者间的界线模糊了，我于是有了这个故事的构思。同时柯林斯也借鉴希腊神话中雅典王特修斯和牛头人身怪兽米诺塔的故事。这个神话讲的是因为先人的过失，雅典人每过一段时间就要送七个少男少女去克里特岛的迷宫中，献给牛头人身怪兽米诺塔。在柯林斯还是个小孩的时候，她就已经能感受到这个神话故事的残忍和无情。克里特岛传达出一个信息：“和我们作对我们会做出比杀死你们还残忍的事，我们会杀死你们的孩子们。” 而事实就是这样，父母们只能无力的坐观。特修斯，雅典王的儿子，自愿前往克里特岛作祭司品。柯林斯觉得凯特尼斯就是未来版的特修斯。而书中的帕纳姆世界中特别是凯匹特城，都有很深的罗马文化的寓意。古罗马角斗士文化也给柯林斯带来了灵感。目前，柯林斯正忙于她的科幻系列作品《饥饿游戏》第三部的创作。在位于康涅狄格州的家中，她与家人和收留的两只野猫幸福地生活在一起。
