Sobre este artículo
Sidgwick & Jackson: London, 1980. First British edition (& 1st printing). Hardcover. Part of the Patternmaster sf series. In Pringle: Science Fiction, The best 100 novels no 92. Wonderful wraparound colour cover art by Peter Bowman. This UK edition is much more uncommon than the Doubleday hardcover (and better cover art). Fine copy in a fine dustjacket (as new).
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.
