Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Neuware -Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award • In this powerful work of nonfiction that takes up immigration and the strength of family, Edwidge Danticat tells the story of her beloved father and uncle – how her father came to the US; and how his brother later died at the hands of the Department of Homeland Security while he pleaded asylum trying to escape untenable violence at home. A National Book Award Finalist • A New York Times Notable Book • A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Century"Remarkable. . . . A fierce, haunting book about exile and loss and family love." —The New York TimesFrom the age of four, Edwidge Danticat came to think of her uncle Joseph, a charismatic pastor, as her "second father," when she was placed in his care after her parents left Haiti for a better life in America. Listening to his sermons, sharing coconut-flavored ices on their walks through town, roaming through the house that held together many members of a colorful extended family, Edwidge grew profoundly attached to Joseph. He was the man who "knew all the verses for love."And so she experiences a jumble of emotions when, at twelve, she joins her parents in New York City. She is at last reunited with her two youngest brothers, and with her mother and father, whom she has struggled to remember. But she must also leave behind Joseph and the only home she’s ever known.Edwidge tells of making a new life in a new country while fearing for the safety of those still in Haiti as the political situation deteriorates. But Brother I’m Dying soon becomes a terrifying tale of good people caught up in events beyond their control. Late in 2004, his life threatened by an angry mob, forced to flee his church, the frail, eighty-one-year-old Joseph makes his way to Miami, where he thinks he will be safe. Instead, he is detained by U.S. Customs, held by the Department of Homeland Security, brutally imprisoned, and dead within days. It was a story that made headlines around the world. His brother, Mira, will soon join him in death, but not before he holds hope in his arms: Edwidge’s firstborn, who will bear his name—and the family’s stories, both joyous and tragic—into the next generation.Brother I’m Dying is a true-life epic on an intimate scale: a deeply affecting story of home and family—of two men’s lives and deaths, and of a daughter’s great love for them both. Universally praised by critics and readers upon its original publication in 2007, it remains just as relevant today.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 288 pp. Englisch.…
