Offred remembers her old life - love, family, a job, access to the news. It has all been taken away. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire. Includes exclusive content: In The "Backstory" you can read Margaret Atwood's account of how she came to write this landmark ... |

"Защо по нощница се пише най-добре? Какви са причините един мъж да не звъни на жената, която му е хвърлила око? (1. Умрял е и 2. Не иска) Как да се отървем от вътрешната си тревожност и да заприпкаме игриво по улицата, дарявайки околните със слънчева усмивка, без да опустошим хладилника преди това? Кое е по-добре за психиката - чаша вино или споделяне в приятелски кръг? А може би и двете едновременно? Всичко това в история, разказана със смях, сълзи, сополи и романтика, подправена със здравословен цинизъм. Живейте го този живот, защото е дълъг колкото два маха от крила на пеперуда, дъх на колибри и прозявка на котка. ... |

"В разказите - както и в романите си, Николай Табаков не изневерява на себе си: описва чешити, описва чудесии, описва самобитности. Описва живота така, че да го превърне в литература, а литературата я кара да описва така, че да се превърне самата тя в живот.
