Book description
La trilogía olvidada de la gran dama de la ciencia ficción. Treinta años después de su primera publicación en castellano, La estirpe de Lilith, título que reúne la Trilogía Xenogénesis en un solo volumen, vuelve a las librerías dispuesta a reivindicar a Octavia E. Butler como la gran pionera que deslumbró en ciencia ficción siendo una mujer negra. Hoy se la considera la primera escritora afroamericana de género en incorporarse al canon de la literatura norteamericana. Lilith Iyapo despierta en una nave espacial oankali, la raza alienígena que salvó a la humanidad de la extinción después de que la Tierra quedase devastada a causa de una guerra nuclear. Estos seres han mantenido a Lilith y a otros supervivientes dormidos en animación suspendida durante siglos. Ella será la elegida que guiará a los suyos de vuelta a su propio planeta, ahora dominado por la naturaleza salvaje, para que aprendan a vivir en él y se conviertan en la semilla de una nueva estirpe. Pero todo intercambio tiene una contrapartida: su descendencia no será humana. O no exactamente. Bienvenidos a la poderosa epopeya interplanetaria que ha convertido a Octavia E. Butler en un mito. «Hablé con unos treinta o cuarenta escritores negros de género que publicaban relatos cortos, novelas y demás, y todos lo hacían porque Octavia E. Butler les había abierto el camino.» -N. K. Jemisin. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The acclaimed trilogy that comprises Lilith's Brood is Hugo and Nebula award-winner Octavia E. Butler at her best. Presented for the first time in one volume with an introduction by Joan Slonczewski, Ph.D., Lilith's Brood is a profoundly evocative, sensual -- and disturbing -- epic of human transformation. Lilith Iyapo is in the Andes, mourning the death of her family, when war destroys Earth. Centuries later, she is resurrected -- by miraculously powerful unearthly beings, the Oankali. Driven by an irresistible need to heal others, the Oankali are rescuing our dying planet by merging genetically with mankind. But Lilith and all humanity must now share the world with uncanny, unimaginably alien creatures: their own children. This is their story...
