Reviews
"Tenderly perceptive....A resounding affirmation of humanity and what it holds dearest, from one of our most gifted storytellers." -- "Publishers Weekly"(starred review)"On the surface a grand adventure, this novel at its heart makes fascinating argument for the force of affection and the power of the questioning mind." -- "The New Yorker""Provocative and stimulating." -- "Los Angeles Time""A substantial achievement, the latest remarkable book from a seemingly inexhaustible writer."-- "Boston Globe"""Mara and Dann" has the shape of a myth or a folktale....But the book's proportions are those of an epic....Vividly rendered."-- "New York Times Book Review"
Synopsis
A brilliantly imagined novel of fantasy and adventure set in a distant, drought-filled future, written by the renowned author of "Love, Again" and "The Golden Notebook.", Víctimas de un complot palaciego, los niños Mara y Dann deben abandonar su familia y país para escapar de una muerte segura. Pese a la constante presencia de enemigos, varias personas les ayudan a llegar a una pequeña aldea, donde una mujer los cría y les, Thousands of years in the future, all the northern hemisphere is buried under the ice and snow of a new Ice Age. At the southern end of a large landmass called Ifrik, two children of the Mahondi people, seven-year old Mara and her younger brother, Dann, are abducted from their home in the middle of the night. Raised as outsiders in a poor rural village, Mara and Dann learn to survive the hardships and dangers of a life threatened as much by an unforgiving climate and menacing animals as by a hostile community of Rock People. Eventually they join the great human migration North, away from the drought that is turning the southern land to dust, and in search of a place with enough water and food to support human life. Traveling across the continent, the siblings enter cities rife with crime, power struggles, and corruption, learning as much about human nature as about how societies function. With a clear-eyed vision of the human condition, "Mara and Dann" is imaginative fiction at its best., Víctimas de un complot palaciego, los niños Mara y Dann deben abandonar su familia y país para escapar de una muerte segura. Pese a la constante presencia de enemigos, varias personas les ayudan a llegar a una pequeña aldea, donde una mujer los cría y les enseña a hacer frente a su difícil existencia. Sin embargo, la persistente sequía que asuela la parte de Ífrik donde se encuentran los hermanos, les fuerza a unirse a los grupos migratorios que avanzan, a través de tierras áridas e infestadas de bestias extrañas y supervivientes de las catástrofes naturales, hacia el Norte, en busca del agua y la civilización. Inician así una gran aventura, durante la cual, si bien su vida se verá a veces amenazada, conocerán los valores y sentimientos que vinculan a los seres vivos por muy distintos que éstos sean, descubrirán emociones hasta entonces ignoradas y llegarán a conocer cuál es su propia identidad.

- e***- (122)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseUnfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.
- v***v (2103)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.How to chalk talk, by Harlan Tarbell (#197064259889)
