Beschreibung

From the pioneering mind of Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower is the radically speculative odyssey of a young Black woman in a post-apocalyptic America, and the community she cultivates despite the horrors of climate change and social inequality.

A New York Times Book of the Year
With a new introduction by Gloria Steinem

The time is 2025. The place is California, where small, walled communities must protect themselves from hordes of desperate scavengers and roaming bands of people addicted to a drug that activates an orgasmic desire to burn, rape, and murder.

When one small community is overrun, Lauren Olamina, an 18-year-old Black girl with the hereditary train of "hyperempathy"—which causes her to feel others’ pain as her own—sets off on foot along the dangerous coastal highways, moving north into the unknown.

Don't miss the second book the Parable duology, Parable of the Talents.

Über den Autor

A writer who darkly imagined the future we have destined for ourselves in book after book, and also one who has shown us the way toward improving on that dismal fate, OCTAVIA E. BUTLER (1947–2006) is recognized as among the bravest and smartest of contemporary fiction writers. A 1995 MacArthur Award winner, Butler transcended the science fiction category even as she was awarded that community’s top prizes, the Nebula and Hugo Awards. She reached readers of all ages, all races, and all religious and sexual persuasions. For years the only African-American woman writing science fiction, Butler has encouraged many others to follow in her path.
