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.

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.

For years, the Trader cities valiantly battled their enemies, the Chalcedeans. But they could not have staved off invasion without the powerful dragon, Tintaglia. In return, the Traders promised to help her serpents migrate up the Rain Wild River after a long exile at sea - to find a safe haven and, Tintaglia hopes, to restore her species. But too much time has passed, and the newly hatched dragons are damaged and weak, and many die.

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.

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.

Rightly influential
An essential work, stunningly perfomed by the great Lynne Thigpen.I don't know how I missed this one back in the '90s, but it's amazing to go back and see how many stories I love were influenced by this brilliant speculative fusion. Both a rip roaring adventure tale and a description of human darkness and resilience echoing Elie Wiesel's Night and the slave narratives.

100% Must Read, excellent female-authored fantasy
Couldn't put it down. I powered through this and then immediately read Parable of the Talents. The narrator was excellent. As a woman, I struggle to find fantasy novels that don't make me physically cringe with their description of women, or their complete lack of realistic female characters. When describing this issue to a friend, he recommended Olivia Butler.
I was shocked to find out when this book was written. You'd think it was written during the Trump era, but it was merely predicting things that would come to pass, like the resurgence of the Reagan era "Make America Great Again" slogan.
This deserves to be considered a classic, ala Atwood's Handmaiden. The book doesn't focus on the plight of women, but of racism and classism, and the general tendency of humanity to form in and outgroups.
