Description:
The Handmaid's Tale is not only a masterful future novel, but also a daring critique of the social relations of the eighties. The United States has become the Republic of Gilead, where women are completely subordinate to men. They are objects of use in a cold and rigid society that operates according to strict laws. Margaret Atwood paints an oppressive picture of the past as a very near future.
Alias ​​Grace is a historical novel about a subject that caused a great deal of commotion in Canada in 1843: the murder of a nobleman and his housekeeper. The beautiful Grace Marks is one of the servants who was convicted for this. But was this special and gentle woman really capable of murder? A penetrating and intense novel, in which Atwood fascinatingly interweaves fact and fiction.
In The Blind Assassin, 82-year-old Iris looks back on her unusual life. She reflects on the events surrounding the publication of The Blind Assassin, the controversial novel that made her late sister famous overnight. While Iris tells her own story, interspersed with newspaper articles and chapters from the novel within the novel, the two stories increasingly intertwine. The carefully built-up tension and surprising denouement make The Blind Assassin a sublime book, the rightful winner of the Booker Prize 2000.
