Uno de los mejores libros del Siglo XXI seg�n el New York Times Galardonada con el Premio Pulitzer 2017 y con el National Book Award, El ferrocarril subterr�neo fue, en su momento, el acontecimiento literario del a�o en Estados Unidos. Colson Whitehead es uno de los pocos escritores que ha conseguido ambos premios por el mismo libro. Con El ferrocarril subterr�neo entra a formar parte del grupo de grandes nombres como Faulkner, Proulx, Updike y A. Walker. La adaptaci�n televisiva de la novela en AMAZON ha estado a cargo de Barry Jenkins, director de Moonlight , ganadora del Oscar a la mejor pel�cula en 2017. Una renovada visi�n de la esclavitud donde se mezclan leyenda y realidad y que oculta una historia universal: la de la lucha por escapar al propio destino Cora es una joven esclava de una plantaci�n de algod�n en Georgia. Abandonada por su madre, vive sometida a la crueldad de sus amos. Cuando C�sar, un joven de Virginia, le habla del ferrocarril subterr�neo, ambos deciden iniciar una arriesgada huida hacia el Norte para conseguir la libertad. El ferrocarril subterr�neo convierte en realidad una f�bula de la �poca e imagina una verdadera red de estaciones clandestinas unidas por ra�les subterr�neos que cruzan el pa�s. En su huida, Cora recorrer� los diferentes estados, y en cada parada se encontrar� un mundo completamente diferente, mientras acumula decepciones en el transcurso de una bajada a los infiernos de la condici�n humana... Aun as�, tambi�n habr� destellos de humanidad que le har�n mantener la esperanza. Whitehead nos brinda una historia universal, on�rica y a la vez brutalmente realista, sobre la libertad y las ilusiones truncadas, que nos habla de la fuerza sobrehumana que emerge ante la determinaci�n de cambiar el propio destino. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One of the New York Times 's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this #1 New York Times bestseller chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. The basis for the acclaimed original Amazon Prime Video series directed by Barry Jenkins. Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. An outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is on the cusp of womanhood--where greater pain awaits. And so when Caesar, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him. In Colson Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret network of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora embarks on a harrowing flight from one state to the next, encountering, like Gulliver, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum era, he weaves in the saga of our nation, from the brutal abduction of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is both the gripping tale of one woman's will to escape the horrors of bondage--and a powerful meditation on the history we all share.
