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.
