Mit einem epischen Roman über die Auswüchse der Sklaverei in den USA errang Edward P. Jones in diesem Frühjahr den Pulitzer Preis 2004. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein freier schwarzer Farmer und sein Kampf um Unabhängigkeit. In a daring, morally complex novel, Jones has woven a footnote of history into an epic that goes to the heart of slavery, one that is hard to put down and impossible to forget.
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.
