Glued binding. 224 p. <b>La obra cumbre de Ralph Ellison es una feroz visi�n de la sociedad estadounidense durante los primeros a�os del siglo XX.</b> <p/>Considerada la obra cumbre de Ralph Ellison y una de las cien mejores novelas de lengua inglesa del siglo XX, esta novela es el relato en primera persona de quien se describe a s� mismo como un �hombre invisible�, no por una anormal condici�n fisiol�gica, sino porque la sociedad permanece ciega ante �l; se niega a verlo. <p/>Ellison desgrana as�, desde el presente oscuro, �bajo tierra�, del protagonista, las preocupaciones sociales e intelectuales de su tiempo con crudeza y sensibilidad. De ello resulta una dura cr�tica tejida con poes�a e inteligencia, ganadora del National Book Award de ficci�n en 1953. <p/><b>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION</b> <p/><b>NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - In this deeply compelling novel and epic milestone of American literature, a nameless narrator tells his story from the basement lair of the Invisible Man he imagines himself to be.</b> <p/><b>One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years</b> <p/>He describes growing up in a Black community in the South, attending a Negro college from which he is expelled, moving to New York and becoming the chief spokesman of the Harlem branch of "the Brotherhood," before retreating amid violence and confusion. <p/>Originally published in 1952 as the first novel by a then unknown author, it remained on the bestseller list for sixteen weeks and established Ralph Ellison as one of the key writers of the century. The book is a passionate and witty tour de force of style, strongly influenced by T.S. Eliot's <i>The Waste Land</i>, James Joyce, and Dostoevsky<b>.</b>
