Sobre este artículo
Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler. Signed by Octavia Butler on title page. Fine with very light shelf wear being only located at the verty bottom of the spine and likewise a tiny wrinkle bottom of dust jacket at spine. Unclipped dust jacket which is protected by professional mylar cover. Though this is the 4th published book in Butler"s Patternist series, chronologically, it is the earliest. Not remaindered. In near perfect condition.
Sinopsis
Wild Seed is the first book chronologically in the Patternist series, although it is the fourth published. The story centers around the main characters of Doro and Anyanwu, two immortals living in Africa. Doro is a spirit who can inhabit other people's bodies but kills them recklessly. He is breeding a race of superhumans, along with his son Issac. Anyanwu is a shapeshifting healer and one of the only beings Doro can't sense when she changes into an animal. Doro is compelled and threatened by her power, but she becomes repulsed by his callous murders. If they can work together, they have the true power to change the world. Butler's novel explores eugenics, the ethics of controlled evolution, and the creation of a black superrace through the same means colonists and enslavers used to promote white supremacy. Butler also portrayed a strong black female protagonist when they were nearly nonexistent in American literature.
