书籍简介

Parable of the Sower 奥克塔维亚·巴特勒：播种者的寓言 Octavia E. Butler

我们要分开了。 我们是一根绳索，一次一股。

美国是一个混乱的地方，暴力统治着这里，只有富人和强者才是安全的。 劳伦·奥拉米娜 (Lauren Olamina) 是一位拥有超凡能力的年轻女性，她可以像自己一样感受他人的痛苦，她在日记中记录了她所看到的这个破碎世界的一切。

然后，在一个可怕的夜晚，一切都变得面目全非，为了她所爱的人，劳伦必须让人们听到她的声音。

很快，她的愿景变成了现实，她对更好生活方式的梦想获得了永远改变人类的力量。

We are coming apart. We're a rope, breaking, a single strand at a time.

America is a place of chaos, where violence rules and only the rich and powerful are safe. Lauren Olamina, a young woman with the extraordinary power to feel the pain of others as her own, records everything she sees of this broken world in her journal.

Then, one terrible night, everything alters beyond recognition, and Lauren must make her voice heard for the sake of those she loves.

Soon, her vision becomes reality and her dreams of a better way to live gain the power to change humanity forever.

Parable of the Talents 奥克塔维亚·巴特勒：天才者的寓言 Octavia E. Butler

为了让我了解我是谁，我必须开始了解她是谁。

阿莎出生在一个破碎的世界。 她需要知道很多事情：她的国家如何能够接受一位承诺让美国再次伟大的暴力的极右翼总统，为什么他们对苦难视而不见——以及关于她母亲的真相。

在她的日记中，劳伦·奥拉米娜讲述了她的小女儿、她的社区和导致她建立一种教导“上帝就是改变”的新信仰的启示之间的巨大爱。 但在一个将黑人女性的存在视为威胁的专制政权下，劳伦知道她必须很快要么牺牲她的女儿和她的追随者——要么放弃可以改变人类命运的信仰。

In order for me to understand who I am, I must begin to understand who she was.

Asha was born into a broken world. There are many things she needs to know: how her country could embrace a violent, far-right President promising to make America great again, why they turned a blind eye to the suffering - and the truth about her mother.

In her journals, Lauren Olamina tells of a great love divided between her young daughter, her community and the revelation that led her to found a new faith that teaches 'God Is Change'. But under a tyrannical religious regime who consider the mere existence of a black female leader a threat, Lauren knows she must soon either sacrifice her daughter and her followers - or forsake the beliefs that could transform human destiny.
