À propos de cet audio
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.
For her elegant, literate works of science fiction, Octavia E. Butler has been compared to Toni Morrison and Ursula K. LeGuin. Narrator Lynne Thigpen's melodious voice will hold you spellbound throughout this compelling parable of modern society.

What if you’ve sworn to protect the one you were born to destroy? Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family. She was raised in isolation by a mysterious, often absent mother known only as the Lady. The Lady sends her to the capital of the global empire of Aritsar to compete with other children to be chosen as one of the crown prince’s Council of Eleven. If she’s picked, she’ll be joined with the other council members through the Ray, a bond deeper than blood. That closeness is irresistible to Tarisai. But the Lady has other ideas....

Stories of Your Life and Others presents characters who must confront sudden change-the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens-while striving to maintain some sense of normalcy. In the amazing and much-lauded title story (the basis for the 2016 movie Arrival), a grieving mother copes with divorce and the death of her daughter by drawing on her knowledge of alien languages and non-linear memory recollection.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 69
In a world scarred by an apocalyptic past, evoking a time both 2,000 years past and 2,000 years into the future, untold thousands gather for a crusade. Among them, two men and two women are ensnared by a mysterious traveler, Anasûrimbor Kellhus - part warrior, part philosopher, part sorcerous, charismatic presence - from lands long thought dead. The Darkness That Comes Before is a history of this great holy war, and like all histories, the survivors write its conclusion.

The Shadow of the Torturer is the first volume in the four-volume epic, the tale of a young Severian, an apprentice to the Guild of Torturers on the world called Urth, exiled for committing the ultimate sin of his profession - showing mercy towards his victim.
Gene Wolfe's "The Book of the New Sun" is one of speculative fiction's most-honored series. In a 1998 poll, Locus Magazine rated the series behind only "The Lord of the Rings" and The Hobbit as the greatest fantasy work of all time.

A Good General Dystopian Survival Guide
Great teller. Compelling characters. The story is sad and will stick with you. Some features of the dystopia feel contrived while others are real and unique to this body of work. The story is worth your time.

Prophetic and heartbreaking
Such a gorgeous way to experience this Butler classic - the narrator strikes a strong balance between having a soft empathic voice appropriate to the character, while conveying stoicism and shock describing the horrible atrocities in the plot. Definitely listening to the sequels!

Gripping and powerful
A gripping and powerful read from start to finish. I found it a similar approach to science fiction as The Handmaid's Tale. The narration was excellent.

An eerily plausible depiction of the near future.
Narrators suite the book well, excellent performance. Amazing book. Not only a stark reminder of what could lie ahead if thing go poorly in t he world but also a message of hope for those struggling with the currently conflicts, both human and natural, that plague the world

Scary world
This is a scary world!!! Hope it will never be our reality. Parable of the sower is an intense read at time. One you cannot shy away from. Certain passages felt so real that I had to stop. Can’t wait to see where the story will go in Parable of the talents!!! Frightening!!!
