Handmaid's Tale Deluxe Edition, The: Margaret Atwood

A modern classic of speculative fiction, in a edition worthy of its legacy.

Margaret Atwood’s seminal novel is a work of such power that its images and its warnings stay with the reader long after the final page. Set in the near future, it takes place in what was once the United States and is now the Republic of Gilead, a monotheocracy born from social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate. Gilead has answered these crises by reviving, and then surpassing, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. Its rulers take the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with chilling consequences for the women and men living under their control.

Told through the eyes of Offred, a Handmaid assigned to a Commander’s household, the story follows her quiet resistance in a society that has stripped her of her name, her freedom, and her voice. Haunting, prophetic, and unforgettable, The Handmaid’s Tale remains as urgent and provocative as ever.

This beautifully crafted hardcover edition features:

• A leatherette cover
• Gilt edging
• A ribbon marker

An ideal gift for devoted fans, book club members, and readers discovering Atwood’s masterwork for the first time, and a handsome addition to any collection.
