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.

Rezensionen
"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!" The Washington Post Book World

"The Handmaid's Tale deserves the highest praise." San Francisco Chronicle

"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." Houston Chronicle

"Splendid." Newsweek
