"From Percival Everett-a recipient of the National Book Award, NBCC Lifetime Achievement Award and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Booker Prize, and numerous PEN awards-comes James, a retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both harrowing and ferociously funny, told from the enslaved Jim's point of view. When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond. While many narrative set pieces of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the river's banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin.), Jim's agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light. Brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a "cult literary icon" (Oprah Daily), and one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime, James is destined to be a major publishing event and a cornerstone of twenty-first century American literature"--.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Catalán. DELIRANTMENT DIVERTIT, DEMOLIDOR AMB EL RACISME, _JAMES_ ÉS JA UN CLÀSSIC CONTEMPORANI QUE, INEVITABLEMENT, TAMBÉ ENS PARLA DEL MÓN D'AVUI. Amb el seu humor característic i una extraordinària habilitat narrativa, Percival Everett ha reescrit Les aventures de _Huckleberry Finn_ de Mark Twain, capgirant-la i subvertint-la. Ara no és Huck, el noi blanc, sinó Jim, l'esclau, qui ens narra i qui ens presenta la societat -bestialment racista- del sud dels Estats Units. Ara, les «aventures» poden significar, per a Jim, aconseguir la llibertat personal, l'empoderament racial i la dignitat humana. Quan Jim s'assabenta que el volen vendre, separant-lo de la seva dona i la seva filla, decideix escapar-se i arribar als estats no esclavistes. Per atzar Huck l'acompanyarà en una singladura trepidant al llarg del riu Mississipi, on la desesperança, el naufragi o el linxament els amenacen a cada revolt. Però amb la llibertat a l'horitzó.
