Book Description
In one of the most acclaimed novels in recent memory, Edward P. Jones, two-time National Book Award finalist, tells the story of Henry Townsend, a black farmer and former slave who falls under the tutelage of William Robbins, the most powerful man in Manchester County, Virginia. Making certain he never circumvents the law, Townsend runs his affairs with unusual discipline. But when death takes him unexpectedly, his widow, Caldonia, can't uphold the estate's order and chaos ensues. In a daring and ambitious novel, Jones has woven a footnote of history into an epic that takes an unflinching look at slavery in all of its moral complexities.
This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

評分《已知的世界》被视为二十一世纪第一个十年间英语文学中无与伦比的史诗巨作。以宏大的气魄,将个人的命运交叠成了历史;以完美的小说技巧,再造了“一个世人自以为了解的非凡世界”。

评分亞馬遜上買的 50塊錢左右
评分Beautifully-organised language, clear thought on every line. Truly a Brilliant book! Worth reading!
评分全職全能的敘述者用一種老派、過時的語言揭開內戰前鮮為人知的黑人奴隸主史實……種族、性彆、階級這些權力關係是否界限分明……這是需要思考的問題
评分Pulitzer prize owners's works are all Really great!! ranther than some N* price work, male-dominant and white. The chaotic but organized timeline makes the stories vivid and attractive.
