(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
A gripping vision of our society radically overturned by a theocratic revolution, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid's Tale has become one of the most powerful and most widely read novels of our time.
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, serving in the household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife. She may go out once a day to markets whose signs are now pictures because women are not allowed to read. She must pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, for in a time of declining birthrates her value lies in her fertility, and failure means exile to the dangerously polluted Colonies. Offred can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost even her own name. Now she navigates the intimate secrets of those who control her every move, risking her life in breaking the rules.
Like Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Handmaid's Tale has endured not only as a literary landmark but as a warning of a possible future that is still chillingly relevant.

評分正因为所有事情都曾真实地发生过,禁止堕胎、月经警察、秘密处决、人口清洗,使得把它归类为科幻小说真的很讽刺。 喜欢看女性写女性,因为知道她的心里究竟在想什么,女人如此感性,被爱与欲望驱使着,盲信于人,善良而温顺,女人的恐惧又是根植于生命里的,渗透在生活所有缝隙...
評分 評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...
