地球之种2:天赋寓言 – Parable of the Talents (Earthseed #2) by Octavia E. Butler

20多年前,它被写出来用作警世,如今,它或许已然成为现实

2025年的一个晴朗夜晚,15岁的黑人女孩劳伦仰望星空,脑中出现一个词:地球之种。

此时,地球自然环境急剧恶化,美国社会和经济危机四伏,新奴隶制度悄然兴起……

2年后,当她独自走上流亡之路,她又一次望向“地球之种”。她不知道,有个更大的使命在等待着自己,关于未来,关于人类的命运……

Environmental devastation and economic chaos have turned America into a land of horrifying depravity. Assault, theft, sexual abuse, slavery, and murder are commonplace. Taking advantage of the situation, a zealous, bigoted tyrant wins his way into the White House.  

Directly opposed is Lauren Olamina, founder of Earthseed – a new faith that teaches “God Is Change”. Persecuted for “heathen” beliefs as much as for having a Black female leader, Earthseed’s followers face a life-and-death struggle to preserve their vision.

Best-selling author Octavia Butler’s fluid writing and keen observations about race, gender, politics, and religion make for a moving parable that will be pondered for generations. A powerful reading from three standout narrators captures the multi-generational sweep of this poignant tale.

Butler’s acclaimed novels have won numerous awards, and she is a recipient of a “genius” grant from the MacArthur Foundation. Parable of the Talents was selected as one of the best books of the year by Publishers Weekly.
