Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Doris Lessing, one of England's finest living novelists, invites us to imagine a mythical society free from sexual intrigue, free from jealousy, free from petty rivalries: a society free from men. An old Roman senator, contemplative at his late stage of life, embarks on what will likely be his last… endeavour: the retelling of the story of human creation. He recounts the history of the Clefts, an ancient community of women living in an Edenic, coastal wilderness, confined within the valley of an overshadowing mountain. The Clefts have no need nor knowledge of men -- childbirth is controlled, like the tides that lap around their feet, through the cycles of the moon, and their children are always female. But with the unheralded birth of a strange, new child -- a boy -- the harmony of their community is suddenly thrown into jeopardy. At first, in their ignorance, the Clefts are awestruck by this seemingly malformed child, but as more and more of these threateningly unfamiliar males appear, now unfavourably nicknamed Squirts, they are rejected, and are exposed on the nearby mountainside; sacrificed to the patrolling eagles overhead, the sentinels of their female haven. Unbeknownst to the Clefts, however, these baby males survive, aided by the very eagles sent to kill them, and thrive on their own on the other side of the mountain. It is not until an unusually curious young Cleft named Maire goes beyond the geographical, and emotional, divide of the mountain that this disquieting fact is uncovered -- a discovery that forces the Clefts to accept and realign themselves to the prospect of a now shared world, and the possible vengeance of the wronged males. In this fascinating and beguiling novel, Lessing confronts head-on the themes that inspired much of her early writing: how men and women, two similar and yet thoroughly distinct creatures, manage to live side by side in the world, and how the specifics of gender affect every aspect of our existence. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Zustand: Very Good. : En esta fascinante novela, Doris Lessing nos invita a imaginar una sociedad mítica libre de intrigas sexuales, celos y rivalidades mezquinas: una sociedad libre de hombres. Un viejo senador romano, contemplativo en la última etapa de su vida, se embarca en lo que probablemente será su último esfuerzo: la na…rración de la historia de la creación humana. Relata la historia de las Clefts, una antigua comunidad de mujeres que viven en un Edén costero, confinadas dentro del valle de una montaña que las eclipsa. Las Clefts no tienen necesidad ni conocimiento de los hombres: el parto se controla, como las mareas que lamen sus pies, a través de los ciclos de la luna, y sus hijos son siempre mujeres. Pero con el nacimiento inesperado de un niño extraño, un niño, la armonía de su comunidad se ve repentinamente en peligro. EAN: 9780007233434 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Literatura y Ficción Título: The Cleft Autor: Doris Lessing Editorial: Fourth Estate (GB) Idioma: en Páginas: 288 Formato: tapa dura.
