Langbeschreibung
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction (The New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss.
Look for The Testaments, the bestselling, award-winning the sequel to The Handmaid s Tale
In Margaret Atwood s dystopian future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gilead s commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of narrative suspense, The Handmaid s Tale is a modern classic.
Includes an introduction by Margaret Atwood

Kurzbeschreibung
Ein großer utopischer Roman, der wie Orwells 1984 und Huxleys schöne neue Welt als Prophezeiung und Warnung Bestand hat. Sicherlich Margaret Atwoods mutigster Roman, der zugleich, dank ihrer Gabe Geschichten und Gestalten lebendig zu zeichnen, ein überaus zugänglicher und populärer Roman ist.
