Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES * RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW Y EN SU PODCAST READ WITH JENNAEl libro en que se basa la serie de Hulu.El libro de cabecera de una nueva generacion.Amparandose en la coartada del terrorismo islamico, unos politicos teocratas 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 podria 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 anticipo con llamativa premonicion una amenaza latente en el mundo de hoy.En la Republica de Gilead, el cuerpo de Defred solo sirve para procrear, tal como imponen las ferreas normas establecidas por la dictadura puritana que domina el pais. Si Defred se rebela -o si, aceptando colaborar a reganadientes, no es capaz de concebir- le espera la muerte en ejecucion publica o el destierro a unas Colonias en las que sucumbira a la polucion de los residuos toxicos. Asi, el regimen controla con mano de hierro hasta los mas infimos detalles de la vida de las mujeres: su alimentacion, su indumentaria, incluso su actividad sexual. Pero nadie, ni siquiera un gobierno despotico 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 religion y politica; el empeno de todo poder absoluto en someter a las mujeres como paso conducente a sojuzgar a toda la poblacion; la fuerza incontenible del deseo como elemento transgresor: son tan solo una muestra de los temas que aborda este relato desgarrador, aderezado con el sutil sarcasmo que constituye la sena 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 DESCRIPTIONNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY RECOMMENDED ON THE 'READ WITH JENNA' PODCASTA book-adapted series on Hulu. !Look for The Testaments, the sequel to The Handmaids Tale, available now. An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction (New York Times).Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. In Margaret Atwoods 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 Gileads 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 Handmaids Tale is a modern classic. "Titulo original: The handmaid's tale"--Title page verso.
