Every author carries within them at least two existences: the one who lives and the one who writes.

Raised by scientist parents, she spent most of her time in the wild forests of northern Quebec: an endless playground for her entomologist father and resourceful mother. It was a free and carefree childhood, sometimes isolated but at the same time exciting and beautiful.

Atwood unfolds the story of her life by connecting defining personal moments with the books that marked her work—from the difficult school year that inspired Cat's Eye, to the charged atmosphere of Berlin in the 1980s, where she began writing The Handmaid's Tale. Through pages full of images of nature, reading discoveries, and major political moments – as well as her love for the charismatic author Graham Gibson – poets, bears, Hollywood stars, and unforgettable characters emerge; figures that seem to have come straight from the pages of one of her novels.

Dive into the universe of Margaret Atwood, her explosive life, and the art she served.
