Synopsis
A novel . 8vo pp. 430 Rilegato tela, sovracoperta (cloth, dust jacket) Jacket design by Paul Bacon Piccola abrasione riparata alla sovracoperta (Dust jacket with a very small closed tear) Ottimo (Fine) Styron pubblicò nel 1967 il suo più controverso ed ambizioso romanzo, "Le confessioni di Nat Turner", storia di una rivolta di schiavi scoppiata nella Virginia del Sud nel 1831 e stroncata nel sangue. L'opera divenne un caso letterario per l'ostilità degli intellettuali e della critica afroamericana, che accusarono Styron di aver letto da un punto di vista sostanzialmente bianco e discutibile la figura del ribelle Turner. Il libro vinse il Premio Pulitzer e il National Book Award.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First edition. Top corner of jacket slightly chewed. 1967 Hard Cover. xvi, 428 pp. 8vo. 1967 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by U.S. writer William Styron presented as a first-person narrative by historical figure Nat Turner, based on the slave revolt in Virginia in 1831. The story that inspired the major motion picture The Birth of a Nation (2016) In the late summer of 1831, in a remote section of southeastern Virginia, there took place the only effective, sustained revolt in the annals of American Negro slavery. The revolt was led by a remarkable Negro preacher named Nat Turner, an educated slave who felt himself divinely ordained to annihilate all the white people in the region. The Confessions of Nat Turner is narrated by Nat himself as he lingers in jail through the cold autumnal days before his execution. The compelling story ranges over the whole of Nat's Life, reaching its inevitable and shattering climax that bloody day in August. The Confessions of Nat Turner is not only a masterpiece of storytelling; is also reveals in unforgettable human terms the agonizing essence of Negro slavery. Through the mind of a slave, Willie Styron has re-created a catastrophic event, and dramatized the intermingled miseries, frustrations--and hopes--which caused this extraordinary black man to rise up out of the early mists of our history and strike down those who held his people in bondage.
