Summary/Abstract: The review focuses on Margaret Atwood’s anti-utopian novels “The Testaments” and “The Handmaid’s Tale”. The text discusses the current issues raised in the works. For example, gender relations and in particular the place of women in the modern world, religion and its use as a means of control and subordination, as well as the problem of the destructive dimensions of power. Emphasis is also placed on Atwood's other anti-utopian novels, which moot similar topics. Such are “Oryx and Crake”, “The Year of the Flood”, “MaddAddam” and “The Heart Goes Last”.
