<p><b>The extraordinary, prescient <i>New York Times</i> bestseller - a modern classic about a young girl fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic world.</b></p><p>'If there is one thing scarier than a dystopian novel about the future, it's one written in the past that has already begun to come true. This is what makes <i>Parable of the Sower </i>even more impressive than it was when first published'<b> GLORIA STEINEM</b></p><p>'Unnervingly prescient and wise' <b>YAA GYASI</b></p><p><i>We are coming apart. We're a rope, breaking, a single strand at a time.</i></p><p>The time is 2025. The place is California, where small walled communities must protect themselves from the violence breaking out across America. Lauren Olamina, a young woman with the extraordinary power to feel the pain of others, records everything she sees of the fracturing world in her journal.</p><p>One terrible night, her home is overrun, and Lauren sets off on foot along the dangerous coastal highways, moving north into the unknown.<br><br> But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: a startling vision of a better way to live - and the birth of a new faith that will change humanity forever. </p><p><b>PRAISE FOR OCTAVIA E. BUTLER</b></p><p>'In the ongoing contest over which dystopian classic is most applicable to our time... for sheer peculiar prescience, Butler's novel may be unmatched' <b>NEW YORKER</b></p><p>'Butler's prose, always pared back to the bone, delineates the painful paradoxes of metamorphosis with compelling precision' <b>GUARDIAN</b></p><p>'Octavia Butler was a visionary' <b>VIOLA DAVIS</b></p><p>'One of the most significant literary artists of the twentieth century. One cannot exaggerate the impact she has had' <b>JUNOT DIAZ</b></p><p>'An icon of the Afrofuturism world, envisioning literary realms that placed black characters front and center' <b>VANITY FAIR</b></p><p>'Butler writes with such a familiarity that the alien is welcome and intriguing. She really artfully exposes our human impulse to self-destruct' <b>LUPITA NYONG'O</b></p>
