I had loved the earlier Earth's Children novels dearly and had eagerly anticipated hearing what happened to Ayla and Jondalar when they reached his home. Perhaps it's only that I was only a teenager when I read the first several books, and nearly 40 when I read this one, so that I'm approaching the main characters and their drama from a different perspective and with an adult's experiences and taste. In any case, I couldn't even work up an interest in the final book just released last year. I've waited for this last volume of the series with very mixed feelings. On the one hand I wanted to know what happened to Ayla, and also if she ever was reunited with her son Durc, but on the other hand vol. 5 was alrady disappointing and giving me a bad feeling about a continuation of the tale. That feeling proved to be right, as vol. 6 turned out to be a complete failure, and I also didn't finish it - something I rarely do. I really love the series and have re-read the first 4 volumes multiple times in German and English. But I don't feel any desire to re-read vol. 5 so far, and don't think I'll ever finish vol. 6. Definitely can't recommend. Deutsche Fassung: Den letzten Band dieser Serie habe ich mit sehr gemischten Gefühlen erwartet. Einerseits wollte ich unbedingt wissen wie es mit Ayla weitergeht, anderseits fand ich bereits Band 5 zunehmend frustrierend und hatte ein mulmiges Gefühl, was dessen Fortsetzung angeht. Leider zu recht, denn der 6. Band hat sich als kompletter Reinfall erwiesen, den ich auch - was mir nur selten passiert - nicht zuende gelesen habe. Ich liebe die Serie sehr und habe die ersten vier Bände auf deutsch und englisch mehrfach gelesen, doch auch den 5. Band schon nur ein Mal und nicht vor, ihn wiederzulesen. Los refugios de piedra Jean M. Auel Publicado: 2002 | 773 páginas Novela Aventuras Histórico Serie: Los hijos de la tierra #5 Después de su épico viaje a través de Europa, Ayla y Jondalar llegan por fin a su hogar, la Novena Caverna de los Zelandonii, al suroeste de Francia, antiguo emplazamiento de la Edad de Piedra. La familia de Jondalar se muestra cauta con Ayla, la bella y joven mujer que le acompaña, criada en su infancia con el Clan. Pronto se verá sorprendida por sus costumbres y forma de vida, asà como por sus ropas, casas y diferentes formas de interpretar el arte. Ayla queda encantada cuando encuentra a Zelandoni, la lÃder espiritual de la Novena Caverna, junto con la que podrá compartir sus conocimientos y prácticas medicinales de curación. Tras las dificultades y los peligros que hasta ahora les han acechado, Ayla anhela paz y tranquilidad junto a Jondalar, quien desea unirse en la inminente ceremonia matrimonial. Sin embargo, sus singulares dotes espirituales no pasan inadvertidas a los integrantes de su nueva comunidad, e incluso después de dar a luz a su deseado hijo debe aceptar la idea de que tiene que desempeñar un papel más decisivo en el destino de los Zelandonii.
That's informative but not nearly as much fun as The Flintstones. The story is thin and the cast so distended—there are 86 characters—that few will make it to the end. Ayla and Jondalar's saga would have been a breeze at 300 pages, but unfortunately for readers and forests alike, Auel allows it to bloat to more than 700. Bursting with hard information about ancient days and awash in steamy sex (though lacking the high suspense that marked Ayla's debut), Auel's latest will not only please her legions of fans but will hit the top of the list, pronto. The plot is slow to unfold, because Auel's first goal is to pack the tale with period Pleistocene detail, provocative speculation, and bits of romance, sex, tribal politics, soap opera, and homicidal wooly rhino-hunting adventure. It's an enveloping fact-based fantasy, a genre-crossing time trip to the Ice Age. Pertence a SérieEarth's Children (5) Distinctions

HTML:The Shelters of Stone opens as Ayla and Jondalar, along with their animal friends, Wolf, Whinney, and Racer, complete their epic journey across Europe and are greeted by Jondalarâ??s people: the Zelandonii. The people of the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonii fascinate Ayla. Their clothes, customs, artifacts, even their homesâ??formed in great cliffs of vertical limestoneâ??are a source of wonder to her. And in the woman Zelandoni, the spiritual leader of the Ninth Cave (and the one who initiated Jondalar into the Gift of Pleasure), she meets a fellow healer with whom to share her knowledge and skills. 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 Aylaâ??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 detailâ??based on meticulous researchâ?? that makes her novels unique. It is a triumphant continuation of the Earthâ??s Children® saga that began with The Clan of the Cave Bear. And it includes an amazing rhythmic poem that describes the birth of Earthâ??s Children and plays its own role in the narrative of The Shelters of Stone. This eBook includes the full text of the novel plus the following additional content: â?¢ An Earthâ??s Children® series sampler including free chapters from the other books in Jean M.

If it makes you feel any better, the perfection between Ayla and Jondalar does get broken a bit, with Jondalar acting like an ass (
