** THE SUNDAY TIMES NO. 1 BESTSELLER **

Discover the dystopian novel that started a phenomenon.

Offred is a Handmaid in The Republic of Gilead. She is placed in the household of The Commander, Fred Waterford – her assigned name, Offred, means ‘of Fred’. She has only one function: to breed. If Offred refuses to enter into sexual servitude to repopulate a devastated world, she will be hanged. Yet even a repressive state cannot eradicate hope and desire.

As she recalls her pre-revolution life in flashbacks, Offred must navigate through the terrifying landscape of torture and persecution in the present day, and between two men upon which her future hangs.

'A fantastic, chilling story. And so powerfully feminist' Bernadine Evaristo

Kritikerstimmen

A fantastic, chilling story. And so powerfully feminist (Bernadine Evaristo, author of GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER)
Compulsively readable
Out of a narrative shadowed by terror, gleam sharp perceptions, brilliant intense images and sardonic wit
The Handmaid's Tale is both a superlative exercise in science fiction and a profoundly felt moral story (Angela Carter)
Moving, vivid and terrifying. I only hope it's not prophetic
The images of brilliant emptiness are one of the most striking aspects of this novel about totalitarian blindness...the effect is chilling
Powerful...admirable (Robert Irwin)
It's hard to believe it is 25 years since it was first published, but its freshness, its anger and its disciplined, taut prose have grown more admirable in the intervening years... Atwood's novel was an ingenious enterprise that showed, with out hysteria, the real dangers to women of closing their eyes to patriarchal oppression
Turned 25 this year and...worth re-reading. As you grow, such books grow with you
Fiercely political and bleak, yet witting and wise...this novel seems ever more vital in the present day

Ein absolutes Muss für alle weiblichen Leser! Sprachlich, inhaltlich, formal - das Buch ist in jeder Hinsicht ein Genuss.

Phantastisch

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
First the story is great, caching and in an interesting format, Personal narration. This, allows to present the heroine as really humane, with virtues and faults that give a great color to the dark story behind...

And as a fascinating plus, the story is narrated by an actress (pretty talented one) that transmit real feeling to the story, happiness, regret, sadness resentment...

It's truly a great audiobook!!!

An interest and different distopia

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
Captivating storyline but also makes it scary at times thinking of what ifs .. what if this is the reality of today or tomorrow .. what if this was the case ages ago.. what if it’s happening and we aren’t event realising it

Great storyline and performance

The book is shockingly close to home. A must read for anyone anywhere right now.

Possibility of truthfulness

Very well written and read. Definitely recommend it. The story is fascinating and the characters are well though out and go through a personal development.

One of the best Audiobooks I've bought.
