Publisher Description
A true publishing phenomenon, Jean M. Auel's prehistoric odyssey is one of the best-loved sagas of our time. Leave 21st century London and go back to Ice Age Europe. Follow Ayla, a Cro-Magnon child who loses her parents in an earthquake and is adopted by a tribe of Neanderthal, the Clan. See how the Clan's wary suspicion is gradually transformed into acceptance of this girl, so different from them, under the guidance of its medicine woman Iza and its wise holy man Creb. Immerse yourself in a world dictated by the demands of survival in a hostile environment, and be swept away in an epic tale of love, identity and struggle.
All six parts of the legendary Earth's Children® series are brought together in this eBook omnibus
THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR
THE VALLEY OF HORSES
THE MAMMOTH HUNTERS
THE PLAINS OF PASSAGE
THE SHELTERS OF STONE
THE LAND OF PAINTED CAVES
Jean Auel combines her brilliant narrative skills and appealing characters with a remarkable re-creation of the way life was lived thousands of years ago, rendering the terrain, dwelling places, longings, beliefs, creativity and daily lives of Ice Age Europeans as real to the reader as today's news.
'Among modern epic spinners, Auel has few peers.' - Kirkus Reviews
Customer Reviews
Completely Enthralling!
I have loved this story since I first began the series in the 1980’s and waited, though a little impatiently, for each new instalment.
I don’t want to ruin any of the story for those who are considering them for the first time so I just say how the books left me feeling.
Each one I found educational thanks to the author’s extensive research. But at times, I will admit, I got frustrated by the rather long descriptions of plants and animals. However, I’m sure much was necessary.
I also found some of the repetition of events throughout the series a little irritating. But I guess since the long periods of time between the first publications of each book it might have been necessary also. But since this is a compilation of all the books the repetitions were just annoying.
Those were my only grievances.
The story itself was as the title says, completely enthralling. I became so absorbed, in the characters and their lives, that I felt almost as though their joys and heart wrenching pain and as if it were my own. To me, this is what makes a story great; If the author can make u feel what the characters are feeling.
Thank you, Jean M Auel, for all your hard work and devotion to completing this series.
