by Margaret Atwood (Author)

El libro en que se basa la serie de hulu.

El libro de cabecera de una nueva generaci n.

Ampar ndose en la coartada del terrorismo isl mico, unos pol ticos te cratas se hacen con el poder y, como primera medida, suprimen la libertad de prensa y los derechos de las mujeres. Esta trama, inquietante y oscura, que bien podr a encontrarse en cualquier obra actual, pertenece en realidad a esta novela escrita por Margaret Atwood a principios de los ochenta, en la que la afamada autora canadiense anticip con llamativa premonici n una amenaza latente en el mundo de hoy.

En la Rep blica de Gilead, el cuerpo de Defred s lo sirve para procrear, tal como imponen las f rreas normas establecidas por la dictadura puritana que domina el pa s. Si Defred se rebela -o si, aceptando colaborar a rega adientes, no es capaz de concebir- le espera la muerte en ejecuci n p blica o el destierro a unas Colonias en las que sucumbir a la poluci n de los residuos t xicos. As , el r gimen controla con mano de hierro hasta los m s nfimos detalles de la vida de las mujeres: su alimentaci n, su indumentaria, incluso su actividad sexual. Pero nadie, ni siquiera un gobierno desp tico parapetado tras el supuesto mandato de un dios todopoderoso, puede gobernar el pensamiento de una persona. Y mucho menos su deseo.

Los peligros inherentes a mezclar religi n y pol tica; el empe o de todo poder absoluto en someter a las mujeres como paso conducente a sojuzgar a toda la poblaci n; la fuerza incontenible del deseo como elemento transgresor: son tan s lo una muestra de los temas que aborda este relato desgarrador, aderezado con el sutil sarcasmo que constituye la se a de identidad de Margaret Atwood. Una escritora universal que, con el paso del tiempo, no deja de asombrarnos con la lucidez de sus ideas y la potencia de su prosa.

Rese as:

«Merece un lugar de honor en el reducido estante reservado a las obras de literatura anticipatoria que han conseguido formar parte del folclore moderno. Un lugar cercano, y en ning n caso inferior, al de Un mundo feliz y 1984. -Publishers Weekly

«Una novela que ilumina con brillantez algunas de las m s oscuras conexiones entre pol tica y sexo. ...] Satisfactoria, inquietante y fascinante. -The Washington Post

«Esta novela visionaria, en la que Dios y el gobierno se funden y Estados Unidos se convierte en una teocracia puritana, puede leerse como un volumen gemelo de 1984 de Orwell; de hecho, como su reverso. -E. L. Doctorow

«Una historia de anticipaci n fascinante, maravillosamente escrita, inquietante. -Toronto Sun
«De una narraci n ensombrecida por el terror surgen percepciones deslumbrantes, im genes de brillante intensidad y sarc stico ingenio. -The Independent

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

#1 New York Times bestseller

Look for The Testaments, the sequel to The Handmaid's Tale, available now.

An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from "the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction" (New York Times).

Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss.

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.
