Con esta impresionante adaptación gráfica del clásico contemporáneo de Margaret Atwood, llevada a cabo con suma belleza por la artista Renee Nault, el aterrador universo de Gilead cobra vida como nunca hasta ahora. Defred es Criada en Gilead, una república donde a las mujeres se les prohíbe trabajar, leer y entablar amistades. Sirve en el hogar del Comandante y su Esposa, y en el nuevo orden social tiene un único cometido: una vez al mes, tumbarse boca arriba y rezar para que el Comandante la deje embarazada, porque, en una época en que apenas nacen niños, Defred y las demás Criadas valen en la medida en que son capaces de engendrar. Pero Defred recuerda los años previos a la instauración de Gilead, cuando ella era una mujer independiente con un empleo, una familia y un nombre propio. Ahora, sus recuerdos y su voluntad de supervivencia se consideran actos de rebelión. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon. One of the most powerful and most widely read novels of our time in display-worthy hardcover: A gripping vision of our society radically overturned by a theocratic revolution--from "the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction" (The New York Times) Now a Hulu Original Series 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.Shipping Notes

A book every teacher/parent should read!
Format: Hardcover
I LOVE this book because the "bad seed" reminds me of my son. I don't believe there are any "bad kids" in the world but I'm sure kids look at themselves as bad if that is all they ever hear. I love how this story gives a sympathetic backstory on how he got "so bad" and how he is trying to do better and change his bad ways. Even though my son isn't perfect, he sure does try to do good and his behavior improves when people notice the POSITIVE instead of the negative. I absolutely love the last lines of the book where the other seeds are gossiping (another lesson) saying, "Hey! There goes that bad seed," and another seed sticks up for him and says, "Actually, he isn't that bad anymore." Then the "bad seed" turns around with a smile on his face and says, "I heard that." Moral of the story.....children are always listening. Focus on the positive rather than the negative and a child's self-talk and behavior will drastically improve. My son's 2nd grade year was so negative and he was always getting into trouble. I rarely heard the good and neither did my son. His 3rd grade year was amazing. The teacher really focuses on pointing out his good choices and what a difference that made in my son's attitude toward school. Thank you Jory John for writing this book. I also love the book, "I Love You Already" which teaches readers about friendship, love, patience, loyalty and forgiveness. :)
