'In the ongoing contest over which dystopian classic is most applicable to our time... for sheer peculiar prescience, Butler's novel may be unmatched' NEW YORKER 'Octavia Butler was playing out our very real possibilities as humans. I think she can help each of us to do the same' GLORIA STEINEM --- In order for me to understand who I am, I must begin to understand who she was. Asha was born into a broken world. There are many things she needs to know: how her country could embrace a violent, far-right President promising to make America great again, why they turned a blind eye to the suffering - and the truth about her mother. In her journals, Lauren Olamina tells of a great love divided between her young daughter, her community and the revelation that led her to found a new faith that teaches 'God Is Change'. But under a tyrannical religious regime who consider the mere existence of a black female leader a threat, Lauren knows she must soon either sacrifice her daughter and her followers - or forsake the beliefs that could transform human destiny. PRAISE FOR OCTAVIA E. BUTLER, THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR 'Unnervingly prescient and wise' YAA GYASI 'If there is one thing scarier than a dystopian novel about the future, it's one written in the past that has already begun to come true. This is what makes Parable of the Sower even more impressive than it was when first published' GLORIA STEINEM 'Butler's prose, always pared back to the bone, delineates the painful paradoxes of metamorphosis with compelling precision' GUARDIAN 'Octavia Butler was a visionary' VIOLA DAVIS 'One of the most significant literary artists of the twentieth century. One cannot exaggerate the impact she has had' JUNOT DIAZ 'An icon of the Afrofuturism world, envisioning literary realms that placed black characters front and center' VANITY FAIR 'Butler writes with such a familiarity that the alien is welcome and intriguing. She really artfully exposes our human impulse to self-destruct' LUPITA NYONG'O ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Book 2 Of 2 | Parable | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Dimensions | 12.8 x 2.8 x 19.6 cm | | Generic Name | Book | | Importer | Hachette India | | Isbn 10 | 1472263650 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1472263650 | | Item Weight | 280 g | | Language | English | | Packer | Hachette India | | Print Length | 400 pages | | Publication Date | 20 August 2019 | | Publisher | Headline | ## Images ![PARABLE OF THE TALENTS - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Rx8W2PULL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Publish in hindi *by on Reviewed in India 25 January 2019* Please Published the book in Hindi language , many people want to read this book but not available in Hindi .50 crore Indian talk to each other in Hindi. you can understand to value of Hindi language. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent copy. *by on Reviewed in India 2 June 2026* I recieved a decent copy. No damaged spine, no folded covers. Pages are ok. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prescient and Frightening *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 January 2025* I came to read these two Parable books because of social media posts about similarities between them and what is happening and has happened in America right now 🇺🇸. So prescient and frightening. This gave me goosebumps. The narrative is so compelling that it drew me in totally and I was having a hard time not imagining it happening in the not too distant future. I am not a fan of Marc, just saying. Octavia E. Butler should be given more literary recognition and not just be pigeonholed into a genre author. Modern literature at its best in my opinion. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/347073087-parable-of-the-talents](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/347073087-parable-of-the-talents) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
