About Margaret Atwood

With books such as "Alias ​​Grace", the "Oryx and Crake" series and "The Handmaid's Tale", world-renowned Margaret Atwood has challenged her readers' views on power, climate, gender, racism, religious fundamentalism and much, much more.
Atwood is one of the most significant and influential living authors, particularly within the science fiction genre.

With biting satire and colorful imagination, she has written about equality, the climate crisis and democracy in novels that have also become films, series and pop culture phenomena.

This year, Atwood is the recipient of the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Literature Prize. The prize has previously been awarded to major international writers such as Isabel Allende, Salman Rushdie and Haruki Murakami.
