Sobre este artículo
Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc, 1979. First edition of Butler's classic bestselling novel. Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "To Steve Best wishes Octavia E. Butler." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket illustration by Larry Schwinger. Jacket typography by Elizabeth Levine. First editions of this classic Butler novel are scarce, signed examples exceedingly so. In this spellbinding novel, Octavia E. Butler has written a closely observed, intensely felt account of a young black woman who is drawn irresistibly into her family's past. Superimposing a fully realized historical chronicle on the classic science fiction premise, Kindred explores the dynamics and dilemmas of antebellum slavery from the sensibility of a late 20th-century black woman who finds herself being shuttled through time, existing at times in her Los Angeles, California home, and at others on her ancestor's pre-Civil War Maryland plantation.
Sinopsis
Butler's best-selling novel Kindred explores what would happen if a woman with 20th-century sensibility was transported back to an antebellum plantation. Dana is a black woman writer in the 1970s. As she's celebrating her birthday with her new husband, she is transported back in time to the antebellum South. There Dana saves a drowning white man, Rufus, son of the plantation owner, where she finds herself enslaved. She realized that she was summoned through time to save him, and it happens again and again, each time transport getting harder and longer as she tries to protect her ancestral line to save herself.
