A stunning bespoke gift package featuring an iconic design from the prize-winning artist, Noma Bar, eye-catching sprayed edges and ribbon. The perfect present for those who like their beauty with a bit of bite. 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. - I den patriarkalske republikken Gilead har kvinner mistet alle rettigheter, og tjenerinnens eneste oppgave er å produsere barn - hvis ikke må hun dø.

Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.. - I en fjern fremtid, i republikken Gilead, lever befolkningen under et strengt, puritansk regime som resultat av lange tider med strålingskatastrofer, sykdommer og skremmende lave fødselstall. Fanatisk religiøse grupper har overtatt makten og innført et patriarkalsk diktatur som har fratatt kvinner alle deres rettigheter. Her møter vi tjenerinnen Offred som lever som konkubine med kun én oppgave: å produsere barn. Hvis hun ikke adlyder, vil hun, som andre dissidenter, bli hengt eller sendt vekk for å dø en langsom død. Men selv ikke en undertrykkende stat kan utslette Offreds livsvilje eller hennes begjær til de to mennene som hennes fremtid avhenger av. "Tjenerinnens beretning" er en skremmende bok, en skarp satire skrevet med vidd og innsikt. Samtidig er den en vakker, gripende og livsbejaende bok - og uhyre spennende. - Offred is a Handmaid in The Republic of Gilead, a religious totalitarian state in what was formerly known as the United States. She is placed in the household of The Commander, Fred Waterford - her assigned name, Offred, means 'of Fred'. She has only one function: to breed. If Offred refuses to enter into sexual servitude to repopulate a devastated world, she will be hanged. Yet even a repressive state cannot eradicate hope and desire. As she recalls her pre-revolution life in flashbacks, Offred must navigate through the terrifying landscape of torture and persecution in the present day, and between two men upon which her future hangs. Masterfully conceived and executed, this haunting vision of the future places Margaret Atwood at the forefront of dystopian fiction. - Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now.... - Provocative, startling, prophetic, and more relevant than ever, The Handmaid's Tale has become a global phenomenon. Now, in this stunning graphic novel edition of Margaret Atwood's modern classic, the terrifying reality of Gilead is brought to vivid life like never before. "Everything Handmaids wear is red: the colour of blood, which defines us." Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships. She serves in the household of the Commander and his wife, and under the new social order she has only one purpose: once a month, she must lie on her back and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, ecause in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if they are fertile. But Offred remembers the years before Gilead, when she was an independent woman who had a job, a family, and a name of her own. Now, her memories and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. The Handmaid's Tale and its iconic images - the red of the Handmaids, the blue of the Wives, the looming ileadean Eye - have been adapted into a film, an opera, a ballet, and multi-award-winning TV series. This groundbreaking new graphic novel edition, adapted and featuring arresting artwork by Renée Nault, is destined to become a classic in its own right. - 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. - USA i nær fremtid. Strålingskatastrofer, truende sykdommer, tiltakende ufruktbarhet og skremmende lave fødselstall har ført til ekstrem puritanisme. Kvinnene har mistet alle rettigheter i det patriarkalske samfunnet som er innført. De er totalt umyndiggjort og inndelt i kategorier. Viktigst er Tjenerinnene - kvinner som fremdeles er fruktbare og som har som oppgave forsyne ektepar i øvre sosialklasse med barn. Gjennom Tjenerinnen Offred føres vi inn i dette samfunnet. Som de andre er Offred blitt "omskolert" for å glemme sitt tidligere liv. Men fortiden lar seg ikke viske bort
