The Handmaid's Tale
Author: Margaret Atwood
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 0771008791
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “Handmaids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’s persistent memories of life in the “time before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.

Book Description
Dossie's publications in chemistry and other useful arts exhibit this change in presentation. In The Handmaid to the Arts, his book about "materia pinctoria," he used a form typical for books about materia medica. The contents are grouped according to techniques employed as well as by the media to which they might be applied. Within that framework, working from the general to the more specific, Dossie included materials and processes involving detailed recipes, with annotations and directions for appropriate use. In a format that seems almost Linnean at times, The Handmaid to the Arts included information about coloring materials--pigments, dyes, and enamels--as well as coloring techniques. The bringing together of all recipes for one color, or all recipes containing or used for a specific material, simplified and clarified the task of the reader. For the nonspecialist this was, as Dossie stated, improved consumerism; the order would have aided experimental work as well, but this is left unsaid.
