A História de uma Serva - Novela Gráfica by Margaret Atwood

katya_m's review against another edition

Por muito que aprecie o esforço - e o esforço nesta adaptação é fenomenal - nada supera o original (quase 400 páginas de original).
Ainda assim, esta graphic novel é excelente: a claustrofobia, o controlo, a vigilância, a sensação de ameaça e injustiça constantes estão bem patentes no ambiente que a artista desenvolve e ilustra com esmero.



A arte de Renée Nault é excelente, mantém o espírito do original e acrescenta ao horror com algumas cenas icónicas em destaque gráfico. No entanto, esta adaptação não sobrevive sem o romance/distopia de Atwood - e esse é um dos problemas maiores que tenho com as adaptações de obras literárias extensas a qualquer outro meio. Apesar de impressionante, terá de funcionar como um complemento para os seus leitores já familiarizados com a história.

Ugh literal chills. I love the watercolour art style and how it transitions from present to flashback so seamlessly ❤️❤️❤️

This might be a graphic novel thing, I'm not very familiar with them, but it's missing way too many details...I haven't read the book, although I do want to, but it feels likeI've raced through a story that isn't supposed to be raced through...I've thought about giving it 3 stars for the beautiful illustrations, but it really irks me that the story doesn't seem complete enough to know what it's actually about. A shame.

As a fan of the original novel and of the tv series, I was thrilled to find out about the graphic novel. The illustrations are exquisite and this particular adaptation manages to convey many nuances of the story with undeniable force.
