Résumé

Revue de presse "Compulsively readable" ( Daily Telegraph) "The mother of all feminist dystopian novels." (Sarra Manning Red) "The novel satirises the strain of evangelical puritanism in American culture and the objectification and control of women’s bodies. It is more broadly a contemporary myth of despotic power, and how such power deforms those who are subjected to it." (Tim Adams Observer) "One of Atwood’s finest pieces of work serves as a great reminder of what humanity is capable of." (Hannah Dunn Red) "Margaret Atwood is a wry and perceptive observer of society as well as an original storyteller" (Cecilia Heyes Psychologist) Biographie de l'auteur Margaret Atwood is Canada's most eminent novelist, poet and critic.
