KURZE BESCHREIBUNG/ANMERKUNGEN: Ein großer utopischer Roman, der wie Orwells 1984 und Huxleys schöne neue Welt als Prophezeiung und Warnung Bestand hat. Sicherlich Margaret Atwoods mutigster Roman, der zugleich, dank ihrer Gabe Geschichten und Gestalten lebendig zu zeichnen, ein überaus zugänglicher und populärer Roman ist. AUSFÜHRLICHERE BESCHREIBUNG: b#1iNew York Times/ibestseller bbAn instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction (iNew York Times/i). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss./b Look for iThe Testaments/i,the sequel toiThe Handmaid s Tale/i, available now./b/b b/b In Margaret Atwood s 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 Gilead s 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, iThe Handmaid s Tale /iis a modern classic. bIncludes an introduction by Margaret Atwood/b BUCHBESPRECHUNG: "A novel that brilliantly illuminates some of the darker interconnections between politics and sex . . . Just as the world of Orwell's 1984 gripped our imaginations, so will the world of Atwood's handmaid!" iTheWashington Post Book World/i "iThe Handmaid's Tale/i deserves the highest praise." iSan Francisco Chronicle/i "Atwood takes many trends which exist today and stretches them to their logical and chilling conclusions . . . An excellent novel about the directions our lives are taking . . . Read it while it's still allowed." iHouston Chronicle/i "Splendid." iNewsweek/i AUSZUG AUS DEM BUCH: bfrom the Introduction/b In the spring of 1984 I began to write a novel that was not initially callediThe Handmaid s Tale/i. I wrote in long hand, mostly on yellow legal notepads, then transcribed my almost illegible scrawlings using a huge German-keyboard manual typewriter that I d rented. The keyboard was German because I was living in West Berlin, which was still encircled by the Berlin Wall: the Soviet empire was still strongly in place and was not to crumble for another five years. Every Sunday the East German air force made sonic booms to remind us of how close they were. During my visits to several countries behind the Iron Curtain Czechoslovakia, East Germany I experienced the wariness, the feeling of being spied on, the silences, the changes of subject, the oblique ways in which people might convey information, and these had an influence on what I was writing. So did the repurposed buildings.iThis used to belong to . . . But then they disappeared./iI heard such stories many times. Having been born in 1939 and come to consciousness during World War II, I knew that established orders could vanish overnight. Change could also be as fast as lightning.iIt can t happen here/icould not be depended on: anything could happen anywhere, given the circumstances. By 1984, I d been avoiding my novel for a year or two. It seemed to me a risky venture. I d read extensively in science fiction, speculative fiction, utopias and dystopias ever since my high school years in the 1950s, but I d never written such a book. Was I up to it? The form was strewn with pitfalls, among them a tendency to sermonize, a veering into allegory, and a lack of plausibility. If I was to create an imaginary garden, I wanted the toads in it to be real. One of my rules was that I would not put any events into the book that had not already happened in what James Joyce called the nightmare of history, nor any technology not already available. No imaginary gizmos, no imaginary laws, no imaginary atrocities. God is in the details, they say. So is the devil. Back in 1984, the main premise seemed even to me fairly outrageous. Would I be able to persuade readers that the United States of America had suffered a coup that had transformed an erstwhile liberal democracy into a literal-minded theocratic dictatorship? In the book, the Constitution and Congress are no longer: the Republic of Gilead is built on a foundation of the seventeenth-century Puritan roots that have always lain beneath the modern-day America we thought we knew. The immediate location of the book is Cambridge, Massachusetts, home of Harvard University, now a leading liberal educational institution but once a Puritan theological seminary. The Secret Service of Gilead is located in the Widener Library, where I had spent many hours in the stacks, researching my New England ancestors as well as the Salem witchcraft trials. Would some people be affronted by the use of the Harvard wall as a display area for the bodies of the executed? (They were.) In the novel, the population is shrinking due to a toxic environment, and the ability to have viable babies is at a premium. (In today s real world, studies in China are now showing a sharp fertility decline in Chinese men.) Under totalitarianisms or indeed in any sharply hierarchical society the ruling class monopolizes valuable things, so the elite of the regime arrange to have fertile females assigned to them as Handmaids. The biblical precedent is the story of Jacob and his two wives, Rachel and Leah, and their two handmaids. One man, four women, twelve sons but the handmaids could not claim the sons. They belonged to the respective wives. And so the tale unfolds. 1998, Taschenbuch / Paperback, Neuware, H: 202mm, B: 132mm, T: 17mm, 251g, 336, Internationaler Versand, Selbstabholung und Barzahlung, PayPal, Offene Rechnung, Banküberweisung.
