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 Gileadean 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 Renee
Nault, is destined to become a classic in its own right.
