Histoire
God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

Histoire
For a thousand years, Doro has cultivated a small African village, carefully breeding its people in search of seemingly unattainable perfection. He survives through the centuries by stealing the bodies of others, a technique he has so thoroughly mastered that nothing on Earth can kill him. But when a gang of New World slavers destroys his village, ruining his grand experiment, Doro is forced to go west and begin anew. He meets Anyanwu, a centuries-old woman whose means of immortality are as kind as his are cruel. Now they begin a struggle that will last centuries.

Histoire
When Lilith lyapo wakes from a centuries-long sleep, she finds herself aboard the vast spaceship of the Oankali. She discovers that the Oankali—a seemingly benevolent alien race—intervened in the fate of the humanity hundreds of years ago, saving everyone who survived a nuclear war from a dying, ruined Earth and then putting them into a deep sleep. After learning all they could about Earth and its beings, the Oankali healed the planet, cured cancer, increased human strength, and they now want Lilith to lead her people back to Earth—but salvation comes at a price.

Description
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.
Ce que les critiques en disent
- Nebula Award, Best Novel, 1999

"Though not for the faint-hearted, this work stands out as a testament to the author's enormous talent, and to the human spirit." (Publishers Weekly)

If you loved the first book, you'll love the 2nd
Everything positive that can be said about the first book, Parable of the Sower, can be said of the sequel. I loved it, couldn't put it down. It had the same heartbreaking realism, but overall, it left me satisfied with the series.

Excellent Narration
The Narrator was perfect!
I have also listened to the first book. The narration was new to me then, but it set the tone and remained consistent. Good job.

Book is incredible - narrator is awful
This book is amazing, but the narrator is constantly swallowing and sounds like she is drinking water while reading. It’s so awful I had to stop listening and bought the book to read instead.

overall satisfaction
This is a brilliant and thorough world to visit. I'm very glad to have done so. at time I was over saturated with too many forgettable characters. most often though, the characters were full and rich, with much to to teach me. the 1st book is better. this one is great though. and if by the 3/4 mark you tire of it, know that the end is satisfying.

Amazing!
It’s heavy stuff but incredibly well written and prescient as hell. Climate change, a post-collapse America turning to alt-right and Christian values again resurge in an effort to literally “make America great again”. It’s scary how on point this is for being written in ‘98, and is a fantastic piece of writing. Especially with the full context of the previous book. The narrators are also great!

something off with the exiting
It's a fantastic novel and the narrator is so pleasant to listen to. However, between chapters and breaks in the story the audio is chopped and edited together in a way that takes me out of the story. I don't even know if it's something that ca be fixed, but it was jarring.

Uneven
This story is paced fairly consistently, until the last few chapters, which seem greatly rushed by comparison. The narration is fine but the editing is choppy. Butler is prophetic in her storytelling, and she takes great care to build ip her characters.
