Book Description
In one of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory, Edward P. Jones, two-time National Book Award finalist, tells the story of Henry Townsend, a black farmer and former slave who falls under the tutelage of William Robbins, the most powerful man in Manchester County, Virginia. Making certain he never circumvents the law, Townsend runs his affairs with unusual discipline. But when death takes him unexpectedly, his widow, Caldonia, can't uphold the estate's order and chaos ensues. In a daring and ambitious novel, Jones has woven a footnote of history into an epic that takes an unflinching look at slavery in all of its moral complexities.
This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

評分 評分爱德华•琼迄今只创作出版过三本小说,他的经历堪称充满艰辛。 1950年10月5日,他出生于弗吉尼亚州东北部靠近华盛顿特区的阿灵顿。他父亲是一个牙麦加移民,在他幼年的时候就去世了,因此他对父亲几乎没有什么记忆。他是由大字不识一个、“甚至连自己的名字都不认...

看在普利策的名分上,本想給個高分。可美國的黑人奴隸史,太過遙遠又十分陌生。。看瞭7/8就放棄瞭
评分文字正應如此,人靈魂的鏡像,時代沉屙的水印!這本書繪製的地圖,背麵是Jones血肉幻化而成的山水,正麵是沉澱在黑人身上綿長厚重的曆史。辛勞的人啊,你前半生走過的路,吃過的苦,和單親媽媽相依為命秉燭夜讀的每一秒…苦難的人們啊,奴隸貿易在最明亮的陽光中進行,自由觸不可及…… (迴想我們所處的世界,又比這虛擬的溫和多少呢?而我又有多少勇氣和智慧,像Alice Night那樣,將一切不義化為Wonder呢?)
评分全職全能的敘述者用一種老派、過時的語言揭開內戰前鮮為人知的黑人奴隸主史實……種族、性彆、階級這些權力關係是否界限分明……這是需要思考的問題
评分亞馬遜上買的 50塊錢左右
评分白人的奴隸,黑人的奴隸,層層纍計的殺戮和罪惡。
