Con esta impresionante adaptación gráfica del clásico contemporáneo de Margaret Atwood, llevada a cabo con suma belleza por la artista Renee Nault, el aterrador universo de Gilead cobra vida como nunca hasta ahora.

Defred es Criada en Gilead, una república donde a las mujeres se les prohíbe trabajar, leer y entablar amistades. Sirve en el hogar del Comandante y su Esposa, y en el nuevo orden social tiene un único cometido: una vez al mes, tumbarse boca arriba y rezar para que el Comandante la deje embarazada, porque, en una época en que apenas nacen niños, Defred y las demás Criadas valen en la medida en que son capaces de engendrar. Pero Defred recuerda los años previos a la instauración de Gilead, cuando ella era una mujer independiente con un empleo, una familia y un nombre propio. Ahora, sus recuerdos y su voluntad de supervivencia se consideran actos de rebelión.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon.

One of the most powerful and most widely read novels of our time in display-worthy hardcover: A gripping vision of our society radically overturned by a theocratic revolution--from the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction (The New York Times)

Now a Hulu Original Series

The Handmaid's Tale is a novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. Set in the near future, it describes life in what was once the United States and is now called the Republic of Gilead, a monotheocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men in its population.

The story is told through the eyes of Offred, one of the unfortunate Handmaids under the new social order. In condensed but eloquent prose, by turns cool-eyed, tender, despairing, passionate, and wry, she reveals to us the dark corners behind the establishment's calm facade, as certain tendencies now in existence are carried to their logical conclusions. The Handmaid's Tale is funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing. It is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and a tour de force. It is Margaret Atwood at her best.
