This is a good copy of “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood. This is a later printing of the first edition of the dystopian masterpiece. Its dustjacket, while intact, has some very minor tears and creases, as well as some staining to the back. The book itself is in near fine condition with no bumping to the corners and only slight fading and staining to the boards and endpapers. The pages themselves are clean, crisp, and free of markings.
The novel set in the near future within the totalitarian Republic of Gilead. In this society, a theocratic regime overrides individual rights, severely restricting women’s freedoms under the guise of religious doctrine. The narrative follows Offred, a "handmaid" forced into reproductive servitude due to widespread infertility. Through her perspective, the novel explores themes of power, control, identity, and resistance. Atwood’s work is a chilling exploration of the consequences of extreme political and religious oppression, reflecting on the fragility of freedom and the resilience of the human spirit.
Overall, this is the perfect affordable book to begin a dystopian novel collection.
