Overview

El libro de cabecera de una nueva generaciĆ³n.

AmparĆ”ndose en la coartada del terrorismo islĆ”mico, unos polĆ­ticos teĆ³cratas 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 podrĆ­a 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 anticipĆ³ con llamativa premoniciĆ³n una amenaza latente en el mundo de hoy.

En la RepĆŗblica de Gilead, el cuerpo de Defred sĆ³lo sirve para procrear, tal como imponen las fĆ©rreas normas establecidas por la dictadura puritana que domina el paĆ­s. Si Defred se rebela -o si, aceptando colaborar a regaƱadientes, no es capaz de concebir- le espera la muerte en ejecuciĆ³n pĆŗblica o el destierro a unas Colonias en las que sucumbirĆ” a la poluciĆ³n de los residuos tĆ³xicos. AsĆ­, el rĆ©gimen controla con mano de hierro hasta los mĆ”s Ć­nfimos detalles de la vida de las mujeres: su alimentaciĆ³n, su indumentaria, incluso su actividad sexual. Pero nadie, ni siquiera un gobierno despĆ³tico 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 religiĆ³n y polĆ­tica; el empeƱo de todo poder absoluto en someter a las mujeres como paso conducente a sojuzgar a toda la poblaciĆ³n; la fuerza incontenible del deseo como elemento transgresor: son tan sĆ³lo una muestra de los temas que aborda este relato desgarrador, aderezado con el sutil sarcasmo que constituye la seƱa 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.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

#1 New York Times bestseller

Look for The Testaments, the sequel to The Handmaidā€™s Tale, available now.
Ā 
An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from ā€œthe patron saint of feminist dystopian fictionā€ (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss.
Ā 
In Margaret Atwoodā€™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 Gileadā€™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 Handmaidā€™s Tale is a modern classic.
