The work of Doris Lessing (b. 1919) is truly multifaceted, among her works are works belonging to a wide variety of genres: from anti-colonial novels to philosophical fiction. In 2007, Lessing was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for her skeptical, passionate and visionary insight into the experience of women." "The Tale of General Dann, Mara's Daughter, Griot and the Snow Dog" is the second part of a dystopian dilogy set in the distant future at a time of terrible cataclysms. Orphaned by the death of his beloved sister, Dunn is initially deaf to the pleas and appeals of others who are convinced that his mission is to save civilization. However, his devoted friends manage to pull him out of the abyss of despair. The adventure continues… Once again, we are convinced that Doris Lessing is one of the wisest and most intelligent writers of our time. Philadelphia Bulletin.
