Synopsis "El Año del Diluvio / The Year of the Flood (in Spanish)"

RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW Y EN SU PODCAST READ WITH JENNA Una eminente ficción distópica sobre la amistad de dos mujeres que sobreviven a la extinción del planeta. Segunda parte de la llamada Trilogía de MaddAddam. Las predicciones de Adán Uno, afable líder de los Jardineros de Dios, se han hecho realidad, y el Diluvio Seco ha asolado el planeta y parece haber acabado con toda traza de vida humana. Solo dos mujeres parecen haber sobrevivido a la gran catástrofe natural: Toby, que se ha atrincherado en un balneario de lujo, y Ren, una joven artista de trapecio encerrada en Colas y Escamas, un distinguido club donde trabajan «las chicas guarras más limpias de la ciudad . Y mientras Toby y Ren deciden cuál será su siguiente paso, en el mundo exterior campan a sus anchas los gobernantes corruptos y proliferan las nuevas especies transgénicas, que amenazan con destruirlo todo. El año del Diluvio, que es tierna y sombría a partes iguales, nos descubre a la Margaret Atwood más brillante e imaginativa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION - READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY - RECOMMENDED ON THE 'READ WITH JENNA' PODCAST- The long-awaited new novel from Margaret Atwood. The Year of the Flood is a dystopic masterpiece and a testament to her visionary power. The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners--a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life--has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God's Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the treatments are edible. Have others survived? Ren's bioartist friend Amanda? Zeb, her eco-fighter stepfather? Her onetime lover, Jimmy? Or the murderous Painballers, survivors of the mutual-elimination Painball prison? Not to mention the shadowy, corrupt policing force of the ruling powers . . . Meanwhile, gene-spliced life forms are proliferating: the lion/lamb blends, the Mo'hair sheep with human hair, the pigs with human brain tissue. As Adam One and his intrepid hemp-clad band make their way through this strange new world, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move. They can't stay locked away . . . By turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive.
