About This Novel
The original novel of the popular American drama "The Handmaid's Tale" defeated "Game of Thrones" and "Westworld" and swept the Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards. Offred is a handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She was one of the few fertile women in the country and was assigned to the families of commanders who had no offspring to help them give birth to children. Like other women in this country, she had no freedom of movement and was deprived of property, the right to work, and the right to read. Except for some special days, the maids are only allowed to go shopping together once a day, and their every move is monitored by "eyes". What's worse is that in this crazy world, humans not only have to face problems such as ecological deterioration and economic crisis, but also fall into a chaotic situation of mutual hostility, class differentiation, and wanton killing. Women are not the only victims of oppression in this catastrophe. Everyone is a victim in this seemingly absurd world.

I've watched this American drama, it's so good and depressing
A very famous book!
Everything returns to nature
Don't live up to your name
Very fascinating
Handmaid, comparable to a prostitute
Spend money to buy half of it? The content behind is gone? Where did the rest go?
