Zustand: Sehr gut. 2. Auflage. 304 (2) Seiten mit vielen Abbildungen. Sehr guter Zustand. "Myers combines an innovative format, complex moral issues, and an intriguingly sympathetic but flawed protagonist in this cautionary tale of a 16-year-old on trial for felony murder." Der 16-jährige Steve ist einer von vier Angeklagten, die des Totschlags an einem Drugstore-Besitzer beschuldigt werden. Im Gegensatz zu seinen Mitangeklagten ist er zuvor polizeilich nie aufgefallen. Er kommt aus einer rechtschaffenen Familie und ist viel versprechendes Mitglied des Filmklubs seiner Schule. Und doch gibt es Hinweise, dass er an einem Raubüberfall beteiligt war, in dessen Folge der Drugstore-Besitzer erschossen wurde. Steve erzählt die Geschehnisse rund um die elftägige Gerichtsverhandlung aus seiner Zelle und dem Verhandlungssaal auf zwei Arten: sein Tagebuch und ein Drehbuch, das er über die Verhandlung schreibt. Während seine Tagebucheintragungen einen Jugendlichen zeigen, den die Verhältnisse im Gefängnis zutiefst ängstigen und der sich immer wieder die Frage stellt, ob er tatsächlich das Monster ist, als das ihn der Staatsanwalt hinstellt, ermöglicht das Drehbuch einen objektiven Blick auf die Verhandlung. Schnell ist der Leser in der Rolle des Geschworene n, der mit darüber zu entscheiden hat, ob Steve lebenslang hinter Gitter soll. Doch was hat er getan Diese Frage durchzieht den Prozess und somit das Buch. Er hat sich mit den falschen Leuten eingelassen, so viel steht bald fest. Doch kann man schuldig werden, indem man nichts tut Denn das war das vereinbarte Zeichen: Steve sollte den Drugstore auskundschaften und dann, ohne ein Zeichen zu geben, herauskommen, wenn die Luft rein war. Kann man schuldig werden, indem man nichts tut Diese zutiefst moralische Frage bleibt bestehen, nachdem Steve freigesprochen worden ist, und wird den Leser auch nach dem Abspann des imaginären Films nicht loslassen. Walter Dean Myers erhielt für 'Monster! Monster ' zahlreiche Auszeichnungen, darunter den 'Corretta Scott King Award' und den von der American Library Association vergebenen 'Michael L. Printz Award'. Außerdem kam er auf die Auswahlliste zum 'National Book Award'. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 288 18,2 x 12,7 cm. Taschenbuch. Kartoniert.

Trade paperback printing.

The story of free colored slaveholders in 1840's Virginia is both historically accurate and moving. Author Jeffrey Lent called this "a modern masterpiece that staggers the imagination.the most powerful and deeply realized novel I've read in a long time. This is a work that transforms and transports to such a thorough degree that when you finally step out 'The Known World,' you're shaken and turned around, never again to be the same. This novel is what literature can and should be.' Cover features an Eudora Welty photograph. 388 pp. plus an additional 27 pp section with an interview with the author, a list of the dramatis personae in the novel, and a short story from his collection 'Lost in the City.'
