Krátky popis
'Octavia Butler was playing out our very real possibilities as
humans. I think she can help each of us to do the same' GLORIA
STEINEM'Her evocative, often troubling, novels explore far-reaching
issues of race, sex, power and, ultimately, what it means to be
human' NEW YORK TIMESFrom the groundbreaking, award-winning author
of Parable of the Sower: one young man with extraordinary gifts
must reconcile his own heritage before he can change the fate of
humanity. Lilith's son Akin looks like an ordinary child.His family
live together on Earth, but not in complete peace. The Oankali
saved humanity years before, compelled by the desire to create an
extraordinary new race of children. But there are those who resist
the Oankali and the salvation they offer.The first of his kind,
Akin is more powerful than any other being. He understands the
desire to fight for the independence of humanity. He also fears
that, if left alone, humanity will destroy itself again.And when
young Akin is stolen from Lilith and their hybrid family, he soon
faces an impossible choice. But first he must reconcile with his
own heritage in a world already torn in two. PRAISE FOR OCTAVIA
E.BUTLER, THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR'In the ongoing
contest over which dystopian classic is most applicable to our
time... for sheer peculiar prescience, Butler's novel may be
unmatched' NEW YORKER'Butler's prose, always pared back to the
bone, delineates the painful paradoxes of metamorphosis with
compelling precision' GUARDIAN'Octavia Butler was a visionary'
VIOLA DAVIS'One of the most significant literary artists of the
twentieth century. One cannot exaggerate the impact she has had'
JUNOT DIAZ'An icon of the Afrofuturism world, envisioning literary
realms that placed black characters front and center' VANITY
FAIR'Butler writes with such a familiarity that the alien is
welcome and intriguing.She really artfully exposes our human
impulse to self-destruct' LUPITA NYONG'O
