** THE SUNDAY TIMES NO. 1 BESTSELLER **
Discover the dystopian novel that started a phenomenon before you read the Booker Prize-winning sequel The Testaments
NOW AN AWARD-WINNING TV SERIES STARRING ELISABETH MOSS
Offred is a Handmaid in The Republic of Gilead, a religious totalitarian state in what was formerly known as the United States. 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.
Masterfully conceived and executed, this haunting vision of the future places Margaret Atwood at the forefront of dystopian fiction.
‘A fantastic, chilling story. And so powerfully feminist’ Bernadine Evaristo, author of GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER
‘This novel seems ever more vital in the present day’ Observer
Includes exclusive content: In The 'Backstory' you can read Margaret Atwood's account of how she came to write this landmark dystopian novel.

Zustand: Bueno. : En un futuro distópico, la República de Gilead ha surgido en lo que antes eran los Estados Unidos, donde las mujeres son subyugadas y despojadas de sus derechos. Offred, una mujer fértil, es obligada a convertirse en una 'Handmaid', cuyo único propósito es procrear para la élite gobernante. En este régimen opresivo, Offred lucha por sobrevivir y aferrarse a los recuerdos de su vida anterior, mientras busca una forma de rebelarse contra el sistema y recuperar su libertad. Una historia escalofriante y provocadora sobre el poder, la opresión y la resistencia en un mundo donde la individualidad es un acto de valentía.
