Review: Disturbingly Prophetic - Written back in the 90’s but set in the time we are living in now; this book is a sad and thought-provoking dystopian portrait of environmental and societal breakdown where many people today already are and where many more are headed. It is a beautifully written book. Totally absorbing. A little quirky in terms of some of Lauren’s ideas and philosophies but nevertheless a haunting and powerful read. Review: Another good read - I came to this having read Kindred by the same author. That was a book grounded in slavery but with a time travel story, which I found a bit bolted on. Having said that, I did really enjoy it, which led me picking this up. Like Kindred this has a main story type, that of being a dystopia of sorts. Again, Butler uses a separate device to attempt to give the book some form of originality or greater substance; namely a religion called earthsea. Again, I found this plot device bolted on, and for me didn't really offer anything to the book, making this not particularly different to other books in the genre. However, I found this a really good read despite these issues. It has great characters, cracks along at a great pace and is told in a way that really resonates with me and the ideas in the story and the peril it exudes really hit home. Overall, this was another book by the author and I will be reading more, especially the next book in the series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 2,029,233 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 113 in Dystopian 129 in Post-Apocalyptic 2,207 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Book 1 of 2 | Parable | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (21,006) | | Dimensions | 13.21 x 2.54 x 20.32 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1538732181 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1538732182 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 368 pages | | Publication date | 30 April 2019 | | Publisher | Grand Central Publishing | ## Images ![Parable of the Sower: 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZLgz1U1lL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Disturbingly Prophetic *by J***E on 19 December 2024* Written back in the 90’s but set in the time we are living in now; this book is a sad and thought-provoking dystopian portrait of environmental and societal breakdown where many people today already are and where many more are headed.

It is amazing how accurate the author was with her predictions. Things haven't got quite that bad yet but what she says resonates with the trends in gun crime and "apartheid" between the ghettoed well to do Americans and the have nots. The fear the author generates as the security of the well to do's crumbles is palpable. The parable is the novum that underpins and carries the book. Worth a read. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Parable of the Sower (Parable, 1) - Parable of the Talents (Parable, 2) - The Handmaid's Tale --- ## 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.tn/products/317506258-parable-of-the-sower-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/317506258-parable-of-the-sower-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
