Here is Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel "The Handmaid's Tale" written in 1985 and published by Everyman's Library.
ABOUT THE BOOK
"Set in a near-future New England, in a totalitarian theocracy that has overthrown the United States government, the novel explores themes of women in subjugation and the various means by which they gain individualism and independence. The novel's title echoes the component parts of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, which comprises a series of connected stories ("The Merchant's Tale", "The Parson's Tale", etc.)."
The Handmaid's Tale won the 1985 Governor General's Award and the first Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1987; it was also nominated for the 1986 Nebula Award, the 1986 Booker Prize, and the 1987 Prometheus Award. The book has been adapted into a film (1990), an opera (2000), a TV series (2017), and other media." [1]
BINDING & PAPER
The book is bound in a scarlet coloured cloth, smyth-sewn with acid-free cream wove neutral paper. The book is 350 pages long and it has a gold ribbon marker. The paper is thick and the text is set in Bembo.
CONTENT
The book has selected bibliography, chronology and historical notes from Atwood. It also contains a 12 pages long introduction by the author Valarie Martin.
EXTRA
I wanted to uploaded this now since I have seen a lot of talk about the new Hulu series based on the book (starring Elisabeth Moss, Yvonne Strahovski, Alexis Bledel), which apparently is quite good.
