Sinossi
Impeccabile. Il più impressionante dei suoi romanzi Atlantic Monthly In questo romanzo riflessivo e commovente, quattro uomini si ritrovano indissolubilmente legati tra loro dalle loro storie passate. L'anziano giudice Clane sogna di resuscitare la confederazione, mentre suo nipote, Jester, è involontariamente attratto da Sherman, un orfano nero volubile che sente il pungiglione acuto dell'ingiustizia razziale, soprattutto quando scopre la verità sulla sua parentela. Attraverso gli occhi di questi individui Carson McCullers esplora le radici del pregiudizio razziale e la doppia moralità dei bianchi leader della città.

Informazioni sull?autore
Carson McCullers was born in 1917. She is the critically acclaimed author of several popular novels in the 1940s and '50s, including The Member of the Wedding (1946). Her novels frequently depicted life in small towns of the southeastern United States and were marked by themes of loneliness and spiritual isolation. McCullers suffered from ill health most of her adult life, including a series of strokes that began when she was in her 20s; she died at the age of 50. The Member of the Wedding was dramatized for the stage in the 1950s and filmed in 1952 and 1997. Other films based on her books are Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967, with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando), The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968, starring Alan Arkin) and The Ballad of the Sad Café (1991).
Dalla quarta di copertina
In this thoughtful and moving novel, four men find themselves inextricably bound together by their past histories. The aged Judge Clane dreams of resurrecting the confederacy, while his grandson, Jester, is involuntarily drawn to Sherman, a volatile black orphan who feels the sharp sting of racial injustice, especially when he finds out the truth about his parentage. Through the eyes of these individuals Carson McCullers explores the roots of racial prejudice and the dual moralities of the town's leading whites.
