Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Galardonada con el Premio Pulitzer 2017 y con el National Book Award, El ferrocarril subterraneo fue, en su momento, el acontecimiento literario del ano en Estados Unidos. Colson Whitehead es uno de los pocos escritores que ha conseguido ambos premios por el mismo libro. Con El ferrocarril subterraneo entra a formar parte del grupo de grandes nombres como Faulkner, Proulx, Updike y A. Walker.La adaptacion televisiva de la novela en AMAZON ha estado a cargo de Barry Jenkins, director de Moonlight, ganadora del Oscar a la mejor pelicula en 2017. Una renovada vision de la esclavitud donde se mezclan leyenda y realidad y que oculta una historia universal: la de la lucha por escapar al propio destino Cora es una joven esclava de una plantacion de algodon en Georgia. Abandonada por su madre, vive sometida a la crueldad de sus amos. Cuando Cesar, un joven de Virginia, le habla del ferrocarril subterraneo, ambos deciden iniciar una arriesgada huida hacia el Norte para conseguir la libertad. El ferrocarril subterraneo convierte en realidad una fabula de la epoca e imagina una verdadera red de estaciones clandestinas unidas por railes subterraneos que cruzan el pais. En su huida, Cora recorrera los diferentes estados, y en cada parada se encontrara un mundo completamente diferente, mientras acumula decepciones en el transcurso de una bajada a los infiernos de la condicion humana. Aun asi, tambien habra destellos de humanidad que le haran mantener la esperanza. Whitehead nos brinda una historia universal, onirica y a la vez brutalmente realista, sobre la libertad y las ilusiones truncadas, que nos habla de la fuerza sobrehumana que emerge ante la determinacion de cambiar el propio destino. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this #1 New York Times bestseller chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. The basis for the acclaimed original Amazon Prime Video series directed by Barry Jenkins. Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. An outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is on the cusp of womanhoodwhere greater pain awaits. And so when Caesar, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him. In Colson Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret network of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora embarks on a harrowing flight from one state to the next, encountering, like Gulliver, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum era, he weaves in the saga of our nation, from the brutal abduction of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is both the gripping tale of one woman's will to escape the horrors of bondageand a powerful meditation on the history we all share.
