Beschreibung

<p><b>A beautiful hardback edition of Atwood's classic dystopian novel.</b><br><br>'As relevant today as it was when Atwood wrote it' <i>Guardian</i><br><br><b>Offred is a Handmaid in The Republic of Gilead, a religious totalitarian state in what was formerly known as the United States.</b><br><br>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.<br><br>If Offred refuses to enter into sexual servitude to repopulate a devastated world, she will be hanged.<br><br>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.<br><br><b>Masterfully conceived and executed, this haunting vision of the future places Margaret Atwood at the forefront of dystopian fiction.</b><br><br>'Fiercely political, yet witting and wise...this novel seems ever more vital in the present day' <i>Observer</i><br><br><b>Vintage Quarterbound Classics: Bound to be beautiful</b></p>
