Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the slaves lead a hellish existence, but Cora has it worse than most; she is an outcast even among her fellow Africans and she is approaching womanhood, where it is clear even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a slave recently arrived from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they take the perilous decision to escape to the North. In Whitehead's razor-sharp imagining of the antebellum South, the Underground Railroad has assumed a physical form: a dilapidated box car pulled along subterranean tracks by a steam locomotive, picking up fugitives wherever it can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But its placid surface masks an infernal scheme designed for its unknowing black inhabitants. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher sent to find Cora, is close on their heels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom. At each stop on her journey, Cora encounters a different world. As Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America, from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Underground Railroad is at once the story of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shatteringly powerful meditation on history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHitta fler liknande böcker i dessa kategorier:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/pages\/skonlitteratur'\"\u003eSkönlitteratur\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/collections\/skonlitteratur-prosa'\"\u003eProsa\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Whitehead%2BColson%2BUnderground%2BRailroad'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Whitehead+Colson\"\u003eWhitehead, Colson\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Underground+Railroad\"\u003eUnderground Railroad\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Little+Brown\"\u003eLittle Brown\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Utl%C3%A4ndska+ber%C3%A4ttare\"\u003eUtländska berättare\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 33053219\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003eLäst denna bok och vill hjälpa oss att förstå..? \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/antikvariat.hstrom.se\/enkat\/33053219\u0026amp;entry.1763550384=Whitehead,%20Colson\u0026amp;entry.1968095487=Underground%20Railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDelta i vår enkät om denna bok, klicka...\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Brown","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok \/ Pocket","offer_id":43954758811915,"sku":"33053219","price":278.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/no_image_cf27331e-1a8a-4967-bf32-400b7d16721a.jpg?v=1707785802","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/33053219","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
