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.

對我來說是未知的世界,但細細碎碎的講述方式加上遙遠陌生又不感興趣的情景真是讓人放下之後就沒興趣再拿起嘞……看完腦子好空哦。

評分文字正應如此,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?)
評分Pulitzer prize owners's works are all Really great!! ranther than some N* price work, male-dominant and white. The chaotic but organized timeline makes the stories vivid and attractive.
評分Beautifully-organised language, clear thought on every line. Truly a Brilliant book! Worth reading!

評分 評分爱德华琼斯是个命运坎坷的人,所幸的是他对得起他所经历的坎坷,用老头子沉静的笔写了一本了不起的书。 奴隶黑人、自由黑人、奴隶主黑人、穷白人、奴隶主白人,奴隶贩子,在奴隶制的大环境下,这些人各有各的立场,各有各的善恶道德标准,又老又黑的爱德华琼斯以亨利汤森家为主...
