SOFTCOVER. A visionary novel from Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. It is sooner than you might think. And the Earth's climate is much changed - it's colder than ever before in the north, and unbearably dry and hot in the south. Mara, who is seven, and her four-year-old brother Dann find themselves somewhere very strange, not home . They are taken in by a kindly, grandmotherly woman, but this new life is hard: hunger, dirt, thirst and danger are the children's constant companions. Drought and fire carry off their adoptive home and force them to set off northward into the unknown, to experience a series of adventures that bring them to an altogether altered world, where they can start to learn and build anew. Doris Lessing has written a compelling, troubling and entertaining novel that, through the remarkable odyssey of a brother and sister living in the imagined future, manages to tell us a great deal about the present we perceive only dimly and scarcely know how to value. 1999. A trade paperback copy in near fine condition.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In ferner Zukunft ist die nördliche Hemisphäre unter der Schneedecke einer neuen Eiszeit begraben, während sich im Süden die Dürre immer weiter ausbreitet. Zu dieser Zeit machen sich zwei Geschwister, die siebenjährige Mara und ihr jüngerer Bruder Dann, von Süden aus auf den mühseligen Weg nach Norden, in der Hoffnung, dort bessere Lebensumstände vorzufinden. Ihre Reise wird zu einer Odyssee, sie begegnen Missgunst, Hinterlist und Gewalt, manchmal aber auch Freundschaft und Hilfsbereitschaft. Der kleinen Mara stellt sich immer öfter die Frage nach der eigenen Bestimmung, und sie macht sich Gedanken über das Schicksal vergangener Zivilisationen.
