From the bestselling author of Alias Grace and the MaddAddam trilogy, here is the #1 New York Times bestseller and seminal work of speculative fiction from the Booker Prize-winning author.
Now a Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss, Samira Wiley, and Joseph Fiennes. Includes a new introduction by Margaret Atwood.
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable.
Offred can remember the days before, when she lived and made love with her husband Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now….
Funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing, The Handmaid's Tale is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and literary tour de force.
MARGARET ATWOOD, whose work has been published in over thirty-five countries, is the author of more than forty books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays. In addition to The Handmaid's Tale, her novels include Cat's Eye, shortlisted for the Booker Prize; Alias Grace, which won the Giller Prize in Canada and the Premio Mondello in Italy; The Blind Assassin, winner of the 2000 Booker Prize; and her most recent, Oryx and Crake, shortlisted for the 2003 Booker Prize. She lives in Toronto with writer Graeme Gibson.

评分看书前就听说这是个政治恐怖小说,果真,整本书里,几乎没有一个对笑容的描写,一些都是沉抑的,没有情感的。故事围绕着Offred (the Handmaid)的命运,她生活在一个做爱是为了繁殖,一切都由权威控制的社会。 一本很好的反乌托邦的书,由于一切都是虚幻的,所以有不少书评家...
评分玛格丽特·阿特伍德拥有魔力。她的笔,如同阿拉贡的纳西尔圣剑,唤醒无数魂灵,如海潮般低低呜鸣,汇聚黑暗中的力量,遮蔽整个天空,风一般掠过众人的身心,冲散他,风干他,白骨乍现。 《使女的故事》是我读的第二本她的小说。扉页上有她的照片,更加印证了她魔法师的真实身...
开始觉得特别derivative(dystopian小说初看都长差不多),后面才喜欢
评分在英国脱欧的夏天读完了这本书。未来就是那未知的黑暗,一切皆有可能。
评分It definitely uses some of the cheap psychological tricks to get readers hooked- a novel lacking overall coherence. Our reality is so far yet so close to the dystopia described in the book.
评分完全不知所云。。。太多的细节场景描写果然会让我犯困。。所以说千万不要以讽刺当今的口吻来写科幻,会很无聊的!!!
评分It is horrible to imagine a society in which women are nothing but two-legged wombs.
