The Handmaid's Tale (Margaret Atwood)
Offred is a Handmaid in The Republic of Gilead, a religious totalitarian state in what was formerly known as the United States. She is placed in the household of The Commander, Fred Waterford - her assigned name, Offred, means 'of Fred'. She has only one function: to breed. If Offred refuses to enter into sexual servitude to repopulate a devastated world, she will be hanged. Yet even a repressive state cannot eradicate hope and desire. As she recalls her pre-revolution life in flashbacks, Offred must navigate through the terrifying landscape of torture and persecution in the present day, and between two men upon which her future hangs.

Рассказ служанки (Маргарет Этвуд)
Оффред — служанка в Республике Галаад, религиозном тоталитарном государстве, ранее известном как Соединенные Штаты. Ее помещают в дом командующего Фреда Уотерфорда - присвоенное ей имя Оффред означает «принадлежащая Фреду». У нее только одна функция: размножаться. Если Оффред откажется вступить в сексуальное рабство, чтобы заново заселить опустошенный мир, ее повесят. Однако даже репрессивное государство не может искоренить надежду и желание. Вспоминая свою дореволюционную жизнь в воспоминаниях, Оффред должна пройти через ужасающий ландшафт пыток и преследований в наши дни, между двумя мужчинами, от которых зависит ее будущее.
