Description
Manuel de Pedrolo's post-apocalyptic novel tells the story of two children who survive the destruction of Earth by alien explorers. Alba and Dídac retreat to the forest and journey to the rubble of Barcelona to rescue and preserve human civilization. In the absence of law and social norms, they create a utopian world of two, honoring knowledge and interracial love, as they try to bring about the world's second origin. This novel, first published in Catalan, explores the theme of survival in the face of ecological destruction. It offers a timely warning about the threat of global ecological destruction, transcending national and cultural borders. The book provides a unique perspective on the region of Spain that was targeted and punished by Francisco Franco, making it an important work for understanding the country's history. A powerful and thought-provoking tale, Typescript of the Second Origin is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in science fiction and international perspectives on the human condition.
