This eBook includes the full text of the novel plus the following additional content: An exclusive preview chapter from Jean M. Auels The Land of Painted Caves, on sale in hardcover March 29, 2011 An Earths Children series sampler including free chapters from the other books in Jean M. Auels bestselling series A Q&A with the author about the Earths Children series 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 Aylas life is threatened, that a fateful decision is made. Set in the challenging terrain of Ice Age Europe that millions of Jean Auels 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.

😍 Tercer volumen de la saga Los Hijos de la Tierra. Ayla emprende el viaje junto a su compañero a la tierra de los Otros, aquellos que son como ella pero que no conoce. El primer pueblo que encuentra es el de los cazadores de mamuts, los Mamutois. Esta primera familia los acoge. Comienza un proceso de aprendizaje mutuo, donde Ayla aprende parte de las costumbres de los Otros y los Mamutois aprenden costumbres del Clan.
Una historia hermosa.

Hours and hours of He loves me/He loves me not🌼! But the story continues to develop and I really enjoy it. This is as far as I got with the series in the 80‘s and I‘m looking forward to the last three books. Although, a Litten mentioned to me that the next book is Hours and Hours of travel 👣👣. 3/5🦣s

TheSpineView I loved this series. ❤📚 3y
Wife @TheSpineView It was the Outlander or Game of the Thrones of it‘s day (80‘s) in terms of series popularity. I think it‘s held up so far🦣 3y
TheSpineView @Wife Yeap sure was. I even remember the movie from the 80s starring Daryl Hannah. Terrible movie.😬 3y

I finished this chunker last night. I did not enjoy this one as much as the last two. It was repetitive in places and a bit drawn out. However, I found it incredibly enjoyable and I really like this series. Ayla is compelling and her constant struggle and will to learn more keeps me with this series. It is definitely a feminist anthem and Ayla only get stronger with each book.

cherinium I was obsessed with these books when I was in high school. I love Ayla! But, each book in the series is more repetitive than the last, and I have yet to finish the last book, because of this issue. Someday... 6y

Lively saga so far. "Now, with her devoted Jondalar, Ayla boldly sets forth into the land of the Mamutoi--the Mammoth Hunters, the Others she has been seeking."

Just managed to slog through the audio book. Now I remember why I never finished it. In the second book Jondolar seems like a dream come true. In this one he's a whiny little b*. The only thing that kept me going were the descriptions of what life might have been like back in the ice age. Also Ayla apparently invents all sorts of things... the Heimlich manoeuvre.. Needles, the list goes on. I don't want to listen to descriptions of his manhood.
