The Handmaid's Tale is an instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from \"the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction\" ( New York Times ) 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Beavers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43546474905623,"sku":null,"price":299.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/8407\/4775\/files\/TheHandmaid_sTale_MargaretAtwood.jpg?v=1761210058"},{"product_id":"the-testaments","title":"The Testaments","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen the van door slammed on Offred's future at the end of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Handmaid's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, readers had no way of telling what lay ahead for her--freedom, prison or death.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Testaments\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the wait is over.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMargaret Atwood's sequel picks up the story more than fifteen years after Offred stepped into the unknown, with the explosive testaments of three female narrators from Gilead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this brilliant sequel to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Handmaid's Tale,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eacclaimed author Margaret Atwood answers the questions that have tantalized readers for decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Dear Readers: Everything you've ever asked me about Gilead and its inner workings is the inspiration for this book.
