Fiction. Literature. Thriller. Historical Fiction. HTML:Set in the challenging terrain of Ice Age Europe that millions of Jean Auel’s readers have come to treasure, The Mammoth Hunters is an epic novel of love, knowledge, jealousy, and hard choices—a novel certain to garner Jean Auel even greater acclaim as a master storyteller of the dawn of humanity.

Ayla, the independent heroine of The Clan of the Cave Bear and The Valley of Horses, sets out from the valley on Whinney, the horse she tamed. With her is Jondalar, the tall, handsome, yellow-haired man she nursed back to health and came to love. Together they meet the Mamutoi—the Mammoth Hunters—people like Ayla. But to Ayla, who was raised by the Clan of the Cave Bear, they are “the Others.” She approaches them with mixed feelings of fear and curiosity.

Talut, a powerful bear of a man with bright red hair, a booming laugh, and a gentle heart, and his tall, dark-haired sister, Tulie, are the leaders of the Lion Camp of the Mamutoi. It is here that Ayla finds her first women friends, but some among the Mamutoi dislike Ayla because she was raised by “flatheads,” their name for the people of the Clan. Ayla is haunted by her memories of the Clan because Rydag, a child of mixed parentage living with the Mamutoi, bears so strong a resemblance to her own son, Durc.

It is the Mamutoi master carver of ivory—dark-skinned Ranec, flirtatious, artistic, magnetic—who fascinates Ayla. She finds herself drawn to him. Because of her uncanny control over animals, her healing skills, and the magic firestone she discovered, Ayla is adopted into the Mammoth Hearth by Mamut, the ancient shaman of the Great Earth Mother.

Ayla finds herself torn between her strong feelings for Ranec and her powerful love for the wildly jealous and unsure Jondalar. It is not until after the great mammoth hunt, when Ayla’s life is threatened, that a fateful decision is made.

Los cazadores de mamuts
Jean M. Auel
Publicado: 1985 | 705 páginas
Novela Aventuras Histórico
Serie: Los hijos de la tierra #3

Ayla ha abandonado el valle que por tantos años la ha cobijado. Acompañada de Jondalar, el hombre al que salvó la vida, va a entrar en contacto por primera vez con aquellos que el Clan del Oso Cavernario consideraban «los otros». Al principio, sólo existe desconfianza aunque Ayla pronto aprende a confiar en Talut y Tulie, jefes del campamento Mamutoi que les cobija. Pero a pesar de que pronto es aceptada gracias a su poder sobre los animales y a sus conocimientos de medicina, el hecho de haber sido criada con los hombres del Clan, a quienes los Mamutoi desprecian considerándoles simples animales, levantará también muchas suspicacias. Ayla deberá mostrar toda la pureza de su corazón hasta que por fin llegue a ser aceptada. Y aún entonces deberá descubrir cuán engañoso y difícil puede ser el amor, atrapada entre sus sentimientos por Jondalar y la atracción por Ranec, sensible y hábil tallista. Una novela apasionante que describe las complejas relaciones en la dura época glacial y que ofrece un detallado panorama de las costumbres, habilidades, creencias y hábitos de esos humanos primitivos.
