Samenvatting

A visionary novel from Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.



'We are in Africa, now known as Ifrik. The northern hemisphere has succumbed to a new Ice Age. Two children, Mara and Dann, set forth on an odyssey towards the greener country on the chilly southern edge of the Mediterranean. As in all folk tales based on a journey, they pass through ordeals. They meet huge beetles whose pincers can bisect a child, lizards that can carry off a woman in their jaws, both as adventure story and as ecological fable, displays all the vision of a muscular mind. I hope everyone reads it and it wins all the prizes.'
VICTORIA GLENDINNING, 'Literary Review'

'Part fairy tale, part tract for our time, this is an ambitious, demanding, remarkable book. With 'Mara and Dann', Lessing has created a mythical girl and boy who are also touching and credible. Into Mara, the girl child who finds herself, Lessing pours all her insight into how female nature is shaped. A wise, rich and melancholy book.'
ANNE CHISHOLM, 'Sunday Telegraph'

'Together Mara and Dann trace the patterns of gender and of human love from childhood to sexual maturity. Mara's adventures are female, stories of love, fertility, vulnerability and ultimately empowerment; Dann's are darker tales of temptation and sin. Asserted throughout this gripping narrative is a belief in the indestructibility of love. A fascinating profoundly curious novel.'

'Lessing imagines in extraordinary detail how Mara slowly learns survival – how to dig up yellow roots to make flour, how to milk a half-starved cow, how to avoid the giant insects that flourish as drought and flash floods drive human beings into retreat. The reader is left elated by the epic scope of Lessing's vision of life on earth. She has produced her best book yet.'
MAGGIE Gee, 'Daily Telgraph'

  • Dystopisch verhaal

    Positieve punten

    • Spannend
    • Fantasierijk
    • Meeslepend verhaal

    Negatieve punten

    • soms wat somber

    Dystopisch verhaal over 2 kinderen die moeten overleven in een toekomstwereld a la Mad Max, maar dan eng en hopeloos. Margaret Atwood had dit boek zeker gelezen voordat zij met “Oryx and Crake” begon. Als je bang bent voor spinnen dan ga je gruwelen met dit boek. Af en toe een beetje somber. Wel een aanrader.
