Qu? puede lograr la amistad en un escenario apocal?ptico?

Significa algo ser libre si el mundo est? por terminarse?

Qu? historias vale la pena contar de frente a la extinci?n?

Es el a?o 2042, las abejas se han extinguido por completo y la tecnolog?a logr? traer de vuelta a unas bestias arcaicas los mamuts. Con el flagelo de pandemias y el avance inicuo de la ciencia, la humanidad empieza a dividirse en dos: Silvestre y Javier viven en extremos opuestos. Para el primero, aclamado director de cine, la emergencia clim?tica es una consecuencia inevitable de la miseria humana; para el segundo, cazador que abastece con carne de bisonte a las familias m?s privilegiadas, implica el recrudecimiento de la lucha por sobrevivir. En su segunda novela, Igor Ram?rez Garc?a-Peralta se adentra en la discusi?n sobre el sentido de la vida a las puertas de la sexta extinci?n masiva. Y lo hace desde una arista ?ntima y luminosa: la amistad entre quienes piensan diferente. Mediante una historia que trenza recuerdos fragmentados por un cataclismo con intensas escenas narradas en tiempo real, El valle de los mamuts retrata un futuro demasiado parecido al presente que estamos viviendo. De tal manera, la ficci?n se muestra como un pulido espejo para reparar en nuestras acciones, recuperar las riendas del porvenir y reconocer el poder de la literatura para abrir nuevos caminos cuando todo parece estar perdido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

What friendship worth in an apocalypse?

Does freedom mean anything if the world is about to end?

Which stories are worth telling when extinction looms?

In the year 2042, bees have disappeared from the planet and technology has brought back Ice Age creatures like the mammoth. Besieged by pandemics and ominous scientific advances, humanity divides into two bands. Silvestre and Javier live at opposite extremes: for the former, an acclaimed movie director, the climate emergency is an inevitable consequence of human wretchedness; for the second, a hunter who supplies privileged families with bison meat, it means an even more desperate battle for survival. In this his second novel, Igor Ram?rez Garc?a-Peralta contemplates the meaning of life on the brink of the sixth mass extinction. He does so with an intimate and luminous take on the friendship between two very different people. Weaving memories shattered by cataclysm with intense scenes told in real time, Valley of the Mammoths is a little too close for comfort to present reality. Fiction becomes a mirror for reconsidering our actions, seizing the reins of the future, and recognizing the power of literature to open new doors when all appears to be lost.
