À propos de cet audio

Audie Award, Fiction, 2013

Margaret Atwood's popular dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale explores a broad range of issues relating to power, gender and religious politics. Multiple Golden Globe award winner Claire Danes (Romeo and Juliet, The Hours) gives a stirring performance of this classic in speculative fiction, one of the most powerful and widely read novels of our time.

After a staged terrorist attack kills the president and most of Congress, the government is deposed and taken over by the oppressive and all controlling Republic of Gilead. Offred, now a Handmaid serving in the household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife, can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost even her own name. Despite the danger, Offred learns to navigate the intimate secrets of those who control her every move, risking her life in breaking the rules in hopes of ending this oppression.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Claire Danes sparkles in this performance...Danes's Offred is complex, and her flashes of intense strength highlight her vulnerability. This is a consuming listen, thanks to Danes's emotional subtleties.” (AudioFile)

The final chapter is useful in bringing it all together. Atwood wrote an interesting book - back in the 80’s - that harkens a bit to today’s news stories coming out of the states. Take note people !

Very interesting listening, especially sine there is also a TV series

Such a phenomenal book that I think anyone of voting age needs to read. So much of it can be seen in our current global political landscape.

Loved listening to this book. Although the narration was slower, it was easy to follow and suspenseful. #Audible1

Excellent book!

I liked it, but I didn't love it. I thought I would because I generally like the dystopias. It was hard to get into because nothing really happened in the beginning.

well narrated

Classic book! I highly recommend it. Love the writing style and performance, it takes a while to get started but it gets really good after the first couple of chapters.

Classic! highly recommend

Having read the book many years ago I couldn’t remember most of the story - now
Seems to be very popular again - likely due to the new series. Thoroughly enjoyed the story. Normally I do not listen to fiction on audible but I highly recommend this book. It kept your interest and the narrator had a pleasant voice. Often there are books I would get but am turned of by the chosen narrator.

Very Good- good narration

Quite eerie are the similarities of the time in which this was written to our own 37 years later. Absolutely profound, fascinating, and prophetic.

One of my favourite books ever!

I could not have loved this more. Powerhouse combo of Atwood’s prose and Danes’ performance.

Compelling story and perfect narration!

Amazing, thoughtful, deep, and very profound. This is obviously a classic. Inspiration for a generation of women. #audible1
