The handmaid's tale /
Atwood, Margaret, 1939-
The handmaid's tale / Margaret Atwood. - London : Vintage Books, 1996. - 324 p. ; 20 cm.
The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs. Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of twenty-first century America gives full rein to Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit and astute perception.
