À propos de cet audio
"Are there any questions?" The final line in Margaret Atwood's modern classic, The Handmaid's Tale, has teased and perplexed fans since the book's original release more than 30 years ago. Now, in this Audible Original production, listeners get some of the answers they've waited so long to hear.
Featuring an all-new interview with Professor Piexoto, written by Atwood and performed by a full cast, The Handmaid's Tale: Special Edition is a must-listen for both fans and newcomers alike. Emmy Award winner Claire Danes (Homeland, Temple Grandin) gives a stirring performance of this classic in speculative fiction, where the message (and the warning) is now more timely than ever. In addition to rich sound design that honors the audio origins of Atwood's classic, the special edition also includes a brand-new afterword from the author and an essay written by author Valerie Martin (Mary Reilly, Property).
After a violent coup in the United States overthrows the Constitution and ushers in a new government regime, the Republic of Gilead imposes subservient roles on all women. Offred, now a Handmaid tasked with the singular role of procreation in the childless household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife, can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost everything, even her own name. Despite the danger, Offred learns to navigate the intimate secrets of those who control her every move, risking her life for mere glimpses of her former freedom, and records her story for future listeners.
Whether you're a fan of the original novel or someone who has recently discovered it, The Handmaid's Tale: Special Edition will shock, impress, and satisfy all those who listen.

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Two nations at war. One prize beyond compare. For generations, the Hundred Isles have built their ships from the bones of ancient dragons to fight an endless war. The dragons disappeared, but the battles for supremacy persisted.

Because whoever catches it will win not only glory, but the war.

Celie has grown up poor in rural Georgia, despised by society and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister, Nettie, from a similar fate, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante, married off to an older suitor, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband. In an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear, Celie begins writing letters to God. The letters, spanning 20 years, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women.

Con man Milan Berg has a photographic memory. But he’s hiding a secret: He can’t read. Unable to interpret the world around him, Milan finds increasingly crafty ways to navigate it. That is, until he comes across a car in traffic with a girl in the back seat. She desperately holds a written note up to the window, but what does it say?

Everyone has wanted their favorite book to be real, if only for a moment. Everyone has wished to meet their favorite characters, if only for a day. But be careful in that wish, for even a history laid in ink can be repaid in flesh and blood, and reality is far deadlier than fiction...especially on Addington Isle.

Seventeenth-century Amsterdam is a city in the grip of tulip mania, basking in the wealth it has generated. Sophia’s husband Cornelis, an ageing merchant, is among those grown rich from this exotic new flower. To celebrate, he commissions a talented young artist to paint him with his young bride. But as the portrait grows, so does the passion between Sophia and the painter; and as ambitions, desires and dreams breed an intricate deception, their reckless gamble propels their lives towards a thrilling and tragic conclusion.

Ouch!
As a teenager and lover of novels and the tales they told, I fancied myself somewhat of a wordsmith. My essays received A+’s and my English papers and book reviews were the teachers’ pets of prose. I happened upon Hardy’s Tess of the D’urbervilles and read greedily as he described the maid, Tess, working in the fields. The line which slayed me was, ‘she was a mere vessel of emotion untinctured by experience.’ Hardy so perfectly said what he meant that I was embarrassed to even consider myself a writer of any ability. I set the novel down and sheepishly picked it up a decade later to see if I could read through the stardust that was Hardy’s gift.
Attwood’s A Handmaid’s Tale eloquently and blatantly shares her command of the English language and its grit and glam. Were I a teenaged boy when I began to read it, I would have tripped over the same Hardy ‘boy’ and walked away…minimized by its exultant command. I am humbled by Attwood’s adroit and adept storytelling and her view into the soul of humanity.

Powerful & Chilling
I had to read “A Handmaid’s Tale” in high school at age 18 and read the book again by choice in my thirties. Now almost 50, I decided to listen to it as audiobook and I am so glad I did. Each reading I’ve appreciated the book so much more. Claire Daines did an absolutely wonderful job narrating the book. I was surprised to see the additional sections at the end. I very much enjoyed listening to Margaret Atwood’s answers to questions she’d been asked over the years. I am currently watching the tv version so I wanted to go back and refresh myself on the source material as I anxiously await Margaret Atwood’s new audible book coming out “The Testaments”. I will definitely listen to “The Testaments” on Audible because I enjoyed listening to “The Handmaid’s Tale” so much this way. I highly recommend this very timely book!

As they say..
As they say..the book is always better than the movie. Well in this case it's the book is better than the TV show.
Atwood has a knack for transporting you to a different reality. A truly absorbing book, you'll find it hard to stop listening.

Claire Danes provides the perfect voice for Offred. And the added commentaries were very insightful. A must read/listen.

This story takes hold of you, and won’t let go!
The story is so shocking, so disturbing, so fascinating, that it sucks you in and doesn’t let you go. The narration, in general, was phenomenal and really helped to draw you into the story. The biggest drawback is Margaret Atwood‘s narration. And some of the excessively-described scenes. But her narration was shockingly bad! LOL She sounded like a corpse attempting to speak. But, her story mesmerizes you so much that her narration is forgivable, albeit extremely distracting and obnoxious. I would highly recommend this book. It will stay with you, long after the story ends.
