Publicada originalmente en 1998, el mensaje de esperanza y resistencia frente al fanatismo de esta profética novela es más relevante que nunca. En 2032, tras perder su hogar y su familia, Lauren Olamina estableció una pacífica comunidad en el norte de California, basada en su fe recién fundada: Semilla Terrestre. En ella ofrece refugio a los marginados y perseguidos por la administración de Jarret, un presidente ultraconservador que promete «hacer que Estados Unidos vuelva a ser grande». En una nación cada vez más peligrosa y dividida, la subversiva colonia de Lauren, una facción religiosa minoritaria dirigida por una joven mujer negra, se convierte en un objetivo del reinado de terror y opresión de Jarret. Años después, Asha Vere lee los diarios de su madre, Lauren, a la que nunca conoció. Buscando respuestas sobre su propio pasado, trata de reconciliarse con el legado de una madre atrapada entre la familia y la vocación de guiar a la humanidad hacia un futuro mejor. Con el trasfondo de un continente devastado por la guerra y un cruzado religioso de extrema derecha en la presidencia, la novela explora temas como la alienación y la trascendencia, la violencia y la espiritualidad, la esclavitud y la libertad, la separación y la comunidad en el quebrado?y escandalosamente familiar?mundo de 2032.

Mikhail lives in Russia in 1881. When a skeleton of a rare wild horse is brought to him, the zoologist plans an expedition to Mongolia to find the fabled Przewalski horse, a journey that tests not only his physicality, but his heart.In 1992, Karin, alongside her troubled son Mathias and several Przewalski horses, travels to Mongolia to re-introduce the magnificent horses to their native land. The veterinarian has dedicated her life to saving the breed from extinction, prioritizing the wild horses, even over her own son.  Europe’s future is uncertain in 2064, but Eva is willing to sacrifice nearly everything to hold onto her family’s farm. Her teenage daughter implores Eva to leave the farm and Norway, but a pregnant wild mare Eva is tending is about to foal. Then, a young woman named Louise unexpectedly arrives on the farm, with mysterious intentions that will either bring them all together, or devastate them one by one. Spanning continents and centuries, The Last Wild Horses is a powerful tale of survival and connection—of humans, animals, and the indestructible bonds that unite us all.  Translated from the Norwegian by Diane Oatley

Title: Clean Air

Author: Sarah Blake

Narrator: Sol Madariaga

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 46 minutes

Release date: February 8, 2022

Genres: Apocalyptic & Dystopian

Publisher's Summary:

In this postapocalyptic story of mystery, suspense, grief, and loss, a girl processes her mother’s death as a serial killer’s presence makes her already dangerous world even more deadly.   The climate apocalypse has come and gone, and in the end it wasn't the temperature climbing or the waters rising. It was the trees. They created enough pollen to render the air unbreathable, and the world became overgrown. In the decades since the event known as the Turning, humanity has rebuilt, and Izabel has grown used to the airtight domes that now contain her life. She raises her young daughter, Cami, and attempts to make peace with her mother's death. She tries hard to be satisfied with this safe, prosperous new world, but instead she just feels stuck. And then the tranquility of her town is shattered. Someone—a serial killer—starts slashing through the domes at night, exposing people to the deadly pollen. At the same time, Cami begins sleep-talking, having whole conversations about the murders that she doesn't remember after she wakes. Izabel becomes fixated on the killer, on both tracking him down and understanding him. What could compel someone to take so many lives after years dedicated to sheer survival, with society finally flourishing again? Suspenseful and startling, but also poetic and written with a wry, observant humor, this “skillful blend of postapocalyptic science fiction, supernatural murder mystery, and domestic drama is unexpected and entirely engrossing” (Publishers Weekly).
