Il racconto dell'ancellaSerie
Questa inquietante serie distopica descrive un regime totalitario spietato dove le donne sono sistematicamente oppresse e private dei loro diritti. Al centro della narrazione, una donna lotta per la sopravvivenza e si aggrappa alla speranza in un mondo brutale. La saga esplora temi di sottomissione, identità e la resilienza dello spirito umano di fronte a crudeltà inimmaginabili. È una visione cupa e stimolante di un possibile futuro.

More than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third voice: a woman who wields power through the ruthless accumulation and deployment of secrets. As Atwood unfolds The Testaments, she opens up the innermost workings of Gilead as each woman is forced to come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for what she believes.
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.
