    Abstract

    Nous sommes en 127, Temps d'après les Oléoducs. Quatre-vingts ans plus tôt, les Muantes, une race de femmes clonées se reproduisant par parthénogenèse, se sont échappées de l'usine où leurs créateurs les maintenaient en esclavage. Elles ont trouvé la paix loin de la décrépitude de Saltwater City, aujourd'hui ravagée par une épidémie de grippe du tigre ayant tué presque tous les hommes.

    McCarthy, Cormac

    Abstract

    Winner of the Pulitzer Prize — National Bestseller — A searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son’s fight to survive that “only adds to McCarthy’s stature as a living master. It’s gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful” (San Francisco Chronicle). One of The New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark.

    Erdrich, Louise

    Abstract

    A New York Times Notable Book. Louise Erdrich, the New York Times bestselling, National Book Award-winning author of LaRose and The Round House, paints a startling portrait of a young woman fighting for her life and her unborn child against oppressive forces that manifest in the wake of a cataclysmic event. The world as we know it is ending. Evolution has reversed itself, affecting every living creature on earth. Science cannot stop the world from running backwards, as woman after woman gives birth to infants that appear to be primitive species of humans.
