Una de las mejores novelas del autor afroamericano James Baldwin. Una dolorosa historia de amor e injusticia racial en el Nueva York de los setenta que ha inspirado la nueva pel?cula de Barry Jenkins, director de la oscarizada Moonlight.

En este gran cl?sico de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XX, James Baldwin da voz a Tish, una chica de diecinueve a?os embarazada de un joven escultor llamado Fonny. Novios desde el instituto, decidieron casarse y formar una familia, pero sus planes se truncan cuando ?l es injustamente acusado de violaci?n y encarcelado.

A trav?s del relato de Tish recorremos la historia de amor de esta pareja afroamericana a la vez que asistimos al intento desesperado de la familia por liberar a Fonny de la c?rcel y demostrar su inocencia, en una lucha contra la hostilidad y la injusticia de un sistema racista y corrupto.

Publicada por primera vez en 1974, la violencia y la sensualidad de la novela de Baldwin siguen golpeando y conmoviendo conciencias con la cadencia triste y pasional del blues m?s sentido, avivado en estas p?ginas por el amor m?s puro y el af?n de supervivencia de unos seres marginados por el color de su piel y por su pobreza.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From one of the most important writers of the twentieth century comes 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).

"One of the best books Baldwin has ever written--perhaps the best of all." --The Philadelphia Inquirer

Told 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. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions--affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.
