'Few, it seems to me, have driven their words with such passion' Guardian
How our earliest experiences can shape our destiny is the theme that runs like a thread of revelation through these extraordinary stories. They explore the roots of love, of murder and of racial conflict, from the child in 'The Rockpile' who can never be forgiven by his God-fearing father for his illegitimacy to the loneliness of a young black girl in love with a white man who, she knows, will leave her in 'Come Out of the Wilderness' and the horrifying story of the initiation of a racist as a man remembers his parents taking him to see the mutilation and murder of a black man in 'Going to Meet the Man'. In them Baldwin unlocks the concepts of history and prejudice and probes beneath the skin to the soul.
Biografía del autor
Born in Harlem in 1924, James Baldwin was a novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, social critic, and the author of more than twenty books. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, appeared in 1953 to excellent reviews, and his essay collection The Fire Next Time was a bestseller that made him an influential figure in the civil rights movement. Baldwin spent many years in France, where he moved to escape the racism and homophobia of the United States. He died in 1987.

Going To Meet The Man (Paperback)
Anbieter: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, DE, USA
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A haunting collection of short stories by one of the greatest writers of the 20th century'There's no way not to suffer. But you try all kinds of ways to keep from drowning in it.'The eight stories in this collection showcase the breadth of Baldwin's imagination, empathy and social critique as he explores the subtle and profound wounds that discrimination leaves in both its victims and its perpetrators- from the down-and-out jazz pianist recovering from addiction in 'Sonny's Blues' to the adolescent who hides his burgeoning sexuality from the church community that defines his world in 'The Outing' to the horrifying story of the initiation of a racist, as a deputy sheriff remembers his parents taking him to see the mutilation and murder of a black man by a gleeful mob in 'Going to Meet the Man'.First published in 1965, these tales of ingenuity, desperation, power and fear provide a snapshot of a writer at the height of his literary powers. Features stories that explore the roots of love, murder and racial conflict. This book unlocks the concepts of history and prejudice and probes beneath the skin to the soul.
