(Ayla et Jondalar, son compagnon, poursuivent leur travers...)
Ayla et Jondalar, son compagnon, poursuivent leur traversée des steppes immenses du continent européen. La femme aux cheveux d'or et le géant blond suscitent le trouble et l'effroi sur leur passage. Les peuples rudes qu'ils rencontrent vivent de la chasse et de la cueillette mais n'ont jamais vu d'animaux domestiques. Or, ce couple étrange se déplace à cheval, en compagnie d'un loup apprivoisé. D'où tient-il donc ses pouvoirs ? En quête d'un lieu qui deviendrait le foyer de leur union, Ayla et Jondalar affrontent les mille périls qui menaçaient nos ancêtres il y a 35 000 ans, entre Lascaux et Neanderthal, et nous font assister à l'éveil de la pensée humaine.

(Once again Jean M. Auel opens the door of a time long pas...)
Once again Jean M. Auel opens the door of a time long past to reveal an age of wonder and danger at the dawn of the modern human race. With all the consummate storytelling artistry and vivid authenticity she brought to The Clan of the Cave Bear and its sequel, The Valley of Horses, Jean M. Auel continues the breathtaking epic journey of the woman called Ayla. Riding Whinney with Jondalar, the man she loves, and followed by the mare’s colt, Ayla ventures into the land of the Mamutoi--The Mammoth Hunters. She has finally found the Others she has been seeking. Though Ayla must learn their different customs and language, she is adopted because of her remarkable hunting ability, singular healing skills, and uncanny fire-making technique. Bringing back the single pup of a lone wolf she has killed, Ayla shows the way she tames animals. She finds women friends and painful memories of the Clan she left behind, and meets Ranec, the dark-skinned, magnetic master carver of ivory, whom she cannot refuse--inciting Jondalar to a fierce jealousy that he tries to control by avoiding her. Unfamiliar with the ways of the Others, Ayla misunderstands, and thinking Jondalar no longer loves her, she turns more to Ranec. Throughout the icy winter the tension mounts, but warming weather will bring the great mammoth hunt and the mating rituals of the Summer Meeting, when Ayla must choose to remain with Ranec and the Mamutoi, or to follow Jondalar on a long journey into an unknown future.

La cautivadora serie Los Hijos de la Tierra de Jean M. Auel se ha convertido en un fenómeno literario, adorado por lectores de todo el mundo. En una brillante novela tan auténtica y entretenida como las anteriores, Auel nos lleva de nuevo a los primeros días de la humanidad y a las cautivadoras aventuras de la valiente mujer llamada Ayla. Con su compañero, Jondalar, Ayla emprende su más peligroso y osado viaje: hacia lo nunca visito, lejos de las cálidas hogueras de aquellos cazadores de mamuts que le dieron la bienvenida. Esta nueva odisea los lleva a través de un hermoso pero poco poblado y traicionero continente de praderas azotadas por el viento, en la Europa de la Edad del Hielo, hasta situarlos entre desconocidos. Algunos se sentirán fascinados por Ayla y Jondalar, poseedores de numerosas e innovadoras habilidades, entre las que se cuentan la doma de caballos salvajes y de un lobo; otros los evitarán al sentirse amenazados por lo que no pueden comprender; y aun otros los amenazarán. Pero sus profundas ansias personales impulsan a Ayla, sin memoria de su propia gente, y a Jondalar, ansioso de volver a los suyos, a seguir el trayecto a través del centro mismo de un mundo espectacular y desconocido, para encontrar un lugar al que ambos puedan llamar hogar.

In a hidden valley she finds not only a herd of steppe horses, but also a unique kinship with animals as vulnerable as herself. Still, nothing prepares her for the emotional turmoil she feels when she rescues a young man, Jondalar -- the first of the Others she has seen -- from almost certain death.

This unforgettable odyssey into the distant past carries us back to the awesome mysteries of the exotic, primeval world of The Clan of the Cave Bear, and to Ayla, now grown into a beautiful and courageous young woman. Cruelly cast out by the new leader of the ancient Clan that adopted her as a child, Ayla leaves those she loves behind and travels alone through a stark, open land filled with dangerous animals but few people, searching for the Others, tall and fair like herself. The short summer gives her little time to look, and when she finds a sheltered valley with a herd of hardy steppe horses, she decides to stay and prepare for the long glacial winter ahead. Living with the Clan has taught Ayla many skills but not real hunting. She finally knows she can survive when she traps a horse, which gives her meat and a warm pelt for the winter, but fate has bestowed a greater gift, an orphaned foal with whom she develops a unique kinship. One winter extends to more; she discovers a way to make fire more quickly and a wounded cave lion cub joins her unusual family, but her beloved animals don’t fulfill her restless need for human companionship. Then she hears the sound of a man screaming in pain. She saves tall, handsome Jondalar, who brings her a language to speak and an awakening of love and desire, but Ayla is torn between her fear of leaving her valley and her hope of living with her own kind.

Employing meticulous research and the consummate artistry of a master storyteller, Auel paints a vivid panorama of the dawn of modern humans. Through Ayla, an orphaned girl who grows into a beautiful and courageous young woman, we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world, home to the Clan of the Cave Bear. Now, for the first time, all six novels in the Earth’s Children® series are available in one convenient audiobook collection: 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 A natural disaster leaves a young girl wandering alone in an unfamiliar and dangerous land until she is found by a woman of the Clan, people very different from her own kind. To them, blond, blue-eyed Ayla looks peculiar and ugly―she is one of the Others, those who have moved into their ancient homeland; but Iza cannot leave the girl to die and takes her with them. Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza’s way of healing, most come to accept her. But the brutal and proud youth who is destined to become the Clan’s next leader sees Ayla’s differences as a threat to his authority. He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge. Praise for the Earth’s Children® series “Auel is a highly imaginative writer. She humanizes prehistory and gives it immediacy and clarity.” ―The New York Times Book Review “Storytelling in the grand tradition…. From the violent panorama of spring on the steppes to musicians jamming on a mammoth-bone marimba, Auel’s books are a stunning example of world building. They join the short list of books, like James Clavell’s Shogun and Frank Herbert’s Dune, that depict exotic societies so vividly that readers almost regard them as ‘survival manuals.’” ―Vogue “Jean Auel has established herself as one of our premier storytellers…. Her narrative skill is supreme.” ―Chicago Tribune “Pure entertainment at its sublime, wholly exhilarating best.” ―Los Angeles Times “Readers who fell in love with little Ayla will no doubt revel in her prehistoric womanhood.” ―People “Lively and interesting, enhanced greatly by the vividly colored backdrop of early humanity…Auel is a prodigious researcher.” ―The Washington Post Book World “Among modern epic spinners, Auel has few peers…. She deftly creates a whole world, giving a sense of the origins of class, ethnic, and cultural differences that alternately divide and fascinate us today.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Lentement, durant des millénaires, l'homme s'est peu à peu dégagé de la bête et il apparaît à peu près tel qu'il est aujourd'hui. Il connaît l'outil, le feu, le vêtement. Il fabrique des armes pour chasser, aménage des grottes pour s'abriter. Dans le chaos de la nature, il est parvenu à créer un peu d'harmonie. En ces premiers temps du monde, Ayla, une fillette de cinq ans, échappe à un tremblement de terre et se sort des griffes d'un lion pour se réfugier auprès d'un clan étranger. On l'adopte. Très vite, les gestes et les paroles d'Ayla suscitent l'étonnement et l'inquiétude. Car, venant d'une tribu plus évoluée que celle d'adoption, Alya diffère physiquement et psychologiquement : elle s'oppose souvent à leurs coutumes et à leurs règles. Le clan songe donc à la supprimer...

Dotada de gran habilidad narrativa y haciendo gala de la misma vÍvida autenticidad que plasmó en El clan del oso cavernario y su continuación, El valle de los caballos, Jean M. Auel sigue el imponente y épico viaje de la mujer llamada Ayla. Acompañada de Jondalar, el hombre al que ama, cabalgando sobre Relinchona, su yegua, y seguidos por el potro de ésta, Ayla se aventura en la tierra de los Mamutoi: los cazadores de mamuts. Por fin ha encontrado a los Otros, a quienes ha estado buscando. Los Otros la adoptan debido a su notable habilidad para la medicina y la caza y su extraordinaria técnica para encender el fuego. Luego de traer al cachorrito de un lobo al que ha matado, Ayla también les enseña la forma en que domestica animales. Hace amigas, tiene dolorosos recuerdos del Clan que abandonó y conoce a Ranec, un moreno y magnético hombre, experto en la talla del marfil, y al cual ella no puede rechazar; esto provoca en Jondalar unos celos feroces; pero él la evita para tratar de controlarlos. Poco familiarizada con las costumbres de los Otros, Ayla se equivoca, piensa que Jondalar ya no la ama y se acerca cada vez más a Ranec. La tensión aumenta a lo largo del helado invierno, pero las temperaturas más cálidas traen la caza de los grandes mamuts y los rituales de parejas en el Encuentro del Verano, en donde Ayla debe escoger entre quedarse junto a Ranec y los Mamutoi, o seguir a Jondalar en un largo viaje hacia un futuro desconocido.
