The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children #1), Jean M. Auel

The Clan of the Cave Bear is an epic work of prehistoric fiction by Jean M. Auel about prehistoric times. A five-year-old girl, Ayla, whom readers come to understand is Cro-Magnon, is orphaned and left homeless by an earthquake that destroys her family's camp. She wanders aimlessly, naked and unable to feed herself, for several days. Having been attacked and nearly killed by a cave lion and suffering from starvation, exhaustion, and infection of her wounds, she collapses, on the verge of death.

The narrative switches to a group of people who call themselves "The Clan" and whom we come to understand are Neanderthal, whose cave was destroyed in the earthquake and who are searching for a new home. The medicine woman of the group, Iza, discovers the girl and asks permission from Brun, the head of the Clan, to help the ailing child, despite the child being clearly a member of "the Others," the distrusted antagonists of the Clan. The child is adopted by Iza and her brother Creb. Creb is this group's "Mog-ur" or shaman, despite being deformed as a result of the difficult birth resulting from his abnormally large head and the later loss of an arm and eye after being attacked by a cave bear.

The Clan worship spiritual representations of Earthly animals called "totems", whom they believe can influence their lives by way of good or bad luck and for whom Mog-ur acts as an intermediary. Brun agrees to allow Iza to treat the dying child and to adopt her only if Creb can discover her personal totem spirit. ...

Geschafft! Bei diesem Buch bin ich nun wirklich froh, es beendet zu haben. Ich habe es 2010 schon einmal lesen wollen und dann bei 350 Seiten aufgegeben. Dabei ist die Geschichte nicht schlecht, im Gegenteil. Ich finde das Setting total spannend und faszinierend und es interessiert mich auch sehr, wie die Menschen damals gelebt haben (könnten). Aber manchmal war es mir dann zwischendurch immer mal wieder etwas zu langatmig.
Den zweiten Band möchte ich aber dennoch noch lesen, denn es interessiert mich schon, wie die Geschichte von Ayla weitergeht.
