Primera parte de LOS HIJOS DE LA TIERRA®, el inicio de las aventuras de la pequeña Ayla. La más bella saga prehistórica jamás contada (Novela histórica de acción y aventuras)
En la última fase de la Era Glacial un terremoto deja a la pequeña Ayla, de cinco años, aislada de su tribu. Afortunadamente encuentra refugio entre los miembros del clan, un grupo de neandertales.
Valiente e indomable, la joven infunde al principio sorpresa, luego cautela, hasta que, por fin, es aceptada. Sobre todo, por Iza, la curandera y Creb, el hechicero, que cuidan de ella. El futuro líder del clan, Broud, es el único que sigue mirándola con recelo, y hará todo lo posible para destruirla. Pero Ayla está protegida por el totém del León Cavernario, un espíritu fuerte que la escogió por ser una superviviente.
Ayla y Jondalar emprenderán un viaje a caballo hacia sus lugares de origen, el curso de su aventura será a través de grandes llanuras batidas por el viento en la Europa de la Era Glacial. Conocerán otras tribus, que por no conocer la domesticación de animales ni los métodos de curación, les consideran seres enigmáticos y temibles. En su viaje aprenderán que el mundo desconocido puede ser difícil y traicionero, pero también profundamente bello y aleccionador.
Ayla y Jondalar deciden vivir una temporada cerca del Mar Negro, con los Mamutoi, quienes cazan Mamuts no sólo para alimentarse, sino también para obtener pieles, marfil y otros muchos recursos que honran espiritualmente. Ayla se verá obligada a demostrar su valía como ser humano y su pureza de corazón para ser acogida por una gente que la desprecia por haber sido criada con los hombres del Clan, a quienes consideran simples animales.
Traducida a 35 idiomas, LOS HIJOS DE LA TIERRA® es una de las series más conocidas y de más éxito de la historia del mundo editorial. Sus ventas suman por el momento más de 45 millones de ejemplares, 3 de ellos sólo en EspAña y AMérica Latina. Jean M. Auel combina sus brillantes dotes narrativas y unos personajes atractivos con una sorprendente recreacIón de la manera de vivir de hace miles de años, plasmando el terreno y convirtiendo los lugares, los deseos, las creencias, la creatividad y la vida cotidiana de los europeos de la Era Glacial en algo muy real para el lector de hoy en día.
Hace ya muchos años que Ayla, la niña cromañón, fue expulsada del Clan del Oso Cavernario y que inició; su largo viaje por todo el continente europeo. Finalmente, en este libro, La tierra de las cuevas pintadas, se ha establecido en la cueva de donde procede su compañero Jondalar, con quien ha tenido una muy deseada hija llamada Jonayla. La joven lucha por encontrar un equilibrio entre sus nuevas obligaciones como madre y su preparacIón para convertirsé;en líder espiritual y en curandera. Durante su formación queda muy impactada al contemplar las maravillosas pinturas que se encuentran en algunas cuevas y le ayudan a sentirse especialmente cercana a la Madre Tierra.
Tras ser expulsada del Clan del Oso Cavernario, la joven Ayla decide buscar a los que son como ella, los cromañones, y emprende un viaje lleno de peligros y aventuras hasta que encuentra una cueva donde refugiarse durante un tiempo.
Su extraordinario instinto de supervivencia y su mente inquieta la conducirán a grandes descubrimientos, como hacer fuego «de piedra» y domesticar animales; entre otros a la yegua Whinney, que se convertirá en su fiel compañera. Además, tendrá que combatir la soledad y el dolor por ese hijo de «espíritus mezclados» que tuvo que dejar atrás.
El destino conduce a Ayla hasta Jondalar, un zelandonii herido, a quien lleva a su cueva para curarlo. Durante unos meses comparten habilidades, aventuras y sentimientos.
Quinto título de la serie LOS HIJOS DE LA TIERRA®, comienza justo en el mismo punto en el que los lectores despidieron a los dos protagonistas en LAS LLANURAS DEL TRÁNSITO. Nuestra protagonista Ayla y su compañero Jondalar llegan hasta el Valle de la Dordoña francesa, tierra donde habita la tribu de la familia de Jondalar, los Zelandonii.
The second novel in the Earth's Children series, Jean M. Auel's internationally bestselling reconstruction of pre-historic life, when two kinds of human beings, Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon, shared the earth.
Forced to leave the Clan and her young son, Ayla sets out alone to travel the frigid steppes until she comes across the valley of horses. Unable to find people like herself, the Cro-Magnons, she settles there and seeks friendship elsewhere. First she adopts a young filly, then a wounded lion cub.
But far to the west, two young Cro-Magnon brothers have begun a journey. One of them is Jondalar, whose destiny is bound inextricably with Ayla's.
Set 25,000 years in the past, yet utterly relatable today, The Valley of Horses is an epic tale of love, identity and the struggle to survive, rich in detail of language, culture, myth and ritual.

Through Jean M. Auel’s magnificent storytelling we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves The Clan of the Cave Bear.
A natural disaster leaves the young girl wandering alone in an unfamiliar and dangerous land until she is found by a woman of the Clan, people very different from her own kind. To them, blond, blue-eyed Ayla looks peculiar and ugly—she is one of the Others, those who have moved into their ancient homeland; but Iza cannot leave the girl to die and takes her with them. Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza’s way of healing, most come to accept her. But the brutal and proud youth who is destined to become their next leader sees her differences as a threat to his authority. He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge.

But as Ayla and Jondalar prepare for the formal mating at the Summer Meeting, there are difficulties. Not all the Zelandonii are welcoming. Some fear Ayla’s unfamiliar ways and abhor her relationship with those they call flatheads and she calls Clan. Some even oppose her mating with Jondalar, and make their displeasure known. Ayla has to call on all her skills, intelligence, knowledge, and instincts to find her way in this complicated society, to prepare for the birth of her child, and to decide whether she will accept new challenges and play a significant role in the destiny of the Zelandonii.
Jean Auel is at her very best in this superbly textured creation of a prehistoric society. The Shelters of Stone is a sweeping story of love and danger, with all the wonderful detail—based on meticulous research— that makes her novels unique. It is a triumphant continuation of the Earth’s Children® saga that began with The Clan of the Cave Bear. And it includes an amazing rhythmic poem that describes the birth of Earth’s Children and plays its own role in the narrative of The Shelters of Stone.
