Your Cart is Empty
Multiple award winner Octavia E Butler's astonishing novels have made her a powerful, acclaimed voice in women's fiction, African-American literature, and modern science fiction. American literature, and modern science. PARABLE OF THE SOWER is her stunning portrait of an all too believable near future, a twenty-first century of horror and hope.
Lauren Olamina is an empath, crippled by the pain of others. Cloistered inside a neighborhood enclave in a U.S. where the distance between the haves and the have-nots has widened to a gaping chasm, she lives a protected life. But on night, violence explodes, and the walls of her neighborhood are smashed, annihilating Lauren's family and friends-all she loves and knows.
Now the empath must face the world outside. Leading a tiny band of desperate followers through a thousand miles of Hell, she is a prophet bearing nothing but the promises of new life and a new faith...Earthseed.
"A POWERFUL STORY OF HOPE AND FAITH IN THE IDST OF URBAN VIOLENCE AND DECAY...EXCELLENT SCEIENCE FICTION AND A PARABLE OF MODERN SOCIETY." Denver Post
