Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A stunning love story about a young Black woman whose life is torn apart when her lover is wrongly accused of a crime 'a moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless' (The New York Times Book Review). Also a major motion picture from Barry Jenkins. 'One of the best books Baldwin has ever written perhaps the best of all.' The Philadelphia InquirerTold through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin s story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned.

Buch
Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Includes If Beale Street Could Talk, now a major motion picture directed by Barry Jenkins.The Library of America completes its edition of the collected fiction of the literary voice of the Civil Rights era with this volume gathering three revealing later works of the 1960s and 70s. With such landmark novels as Go Tell It on the Mountain, Giovanni s Room, and the essay collections Notes of a Native Son and The Fire Next Time, James Baldwin established himself as the indispensable voice of the Civil Rights era, a figure whose prophetic exploration of the racial and sexual fissures in American society raised the consciousness of American readers. But by the late 1960s and 70s many regarded Baldwin as being out of sync with the political and social currents transforming America: too integrationist for Black Arts Movement writers and others on the Left, yet too pessimistic for many white readers, and as a result his later novels have never received the consideration given his earlier fiction. Sober in outlook but ambitious in scope, these works show Baldwin responding with his signature passion for music, for justice, for life and searching intelligence to the new realities of a rapidly changing cultural landscape, as the Movement era gives way to the age of identity politics that we still live in today. This culminating volume in the Library of America edition of his fiction illustrates how Baldwin continues to be relevant in twenty-first-century America, especially in his dramatizing of the unequal treatment of black men by the police and the justice system, his nuanced depictions of the black family, and his explorations of sexuality.LIBRARY OF AMERICAis an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America s best and most significant writing.
