Chroniques du pays des mères
Chroniques du pays des mères | Elisabeth Vonarburg
5 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
Au Pays des Mères, quelque part sur une Terre dévastée du futur en train de se remettre lentement, les hommes sont très rares. Seules les Captes des Familles - les Mères - font leurs enfantes avec les Mâles. Les autres femmes doivent utiliser une forme hasardeuse d'insémination artificielle. Lisbeï et Tula ne s'en soucient pas trop : filles de la Mère de Béthély, elles grandissent ensemble, sœurs et amies. Mais Lisbeï se révèle stérile; ne pouvant être la Mère comme elle en avait rêvé, elle doit quitter Béthély, et Tula. Devenue " exploratrice ", elle accomplira un autre de ses rêves : découvrir les secrets du lointain passé du Pays des Mères. Mais certains rêves sont difficiles à vivre... Chroniques du Pays des Mères : le livre le plus adulé d'Elisabeth Vonarburg! " Une expérience mentale excitante, exigeante et satisfaisante, de la science-fiction sérieuse accomplissant ce que seule peut accomplir la science-fiction. " Ursula K. Le Guin

We reading it in class, right now!

tournevis The students are having a hard time thinking in terms of gender norms. They've not been taught to think critically about what makes them boys or girls in our society. Kinda sad. 8y
Lindy This brings back memories! Read this long ago and loved it. 8y
tournevis @Lindy It is so good. The translation in English was well done so. It was such a difficult book to translate. In any version it's great. One of my favorite books ever. 8y

Day 21 of #riotgrams is #cool spines. Well, I have so many books, in my office at home, my office at uni, my living room, I just can't find the energy to looks at those spines for the especially cool ones. I do think that the multiplication of spines is cool, though. So many books so many spines.

The book I tagged is one of the best sf book ever written. Ask Ursula LeGuin, she agrees. Read it.

i found this book randomly digging around in a used bookstore and bought it based on the Le Guin blurb. I ADORED IT. it has some of the scholarly feel of Susannah Clarke's work, plus the transgressive imagination of Margaret Atwood's. i am just obsessed. turns out it's actually a sequel, and i already ordered THE SILENT CITY, cannot wait to read it.
