" Atwood à l'apogée de son pouvoir poétique. " The New York Times Book Review
L'amour, la perte, le temps qui passe, la nature, ou encore... les zombies : la poésie de Margaret Atwood est introspective, personnelle dans la forme, universelle dans le fonds. Poème après poème, elle déploie des trésors d'imagination tandis qu'elle promène son regard acéré vers un monde qu'elle perçoit avec prudence et intuition.
Beaucoup connaissent les romans de Margaret Atwood, parmi lesquels les best-sellers

The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates she will, like all dissenters, be hanged or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale In this extraordinary collection, Margaret Atwood gives us nine unforgettable tales that reveal the grotesque, delightfully wicked facets of humanity. Alphinland, the first of three loosely linked tales, introduces us to a fantasy writer who is guided through a stormy winter evening by the voice of her late husband. In Lusus Naturae, a young woman, monstrously transformed by a genetic defect, is mistaken for a vampire. And in the title story, a woman who has killed four husbands discovers an opportunity to exact vengeance on the first man who ever wronged her. By turns thrilling, funny, and thought-provoking, Stone Mattress affirms Atwood as our greatest creator of worlds--and as an incisive chronicler of our darkest impulses.
