Krátky popis
A discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and
the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands, a
Pulitzer Prize winner tells a sweeping story of spirit, obsession,
and injustice across American historyKentucky, 1850. An enslaved
groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding
that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the
South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young
artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up
arms for the Union.On a perilous night, he reunites with the
stallion and his groom, very far from the glamour of any racetrack.
New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for
taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a
19th equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance.Washington,
DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a
Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly
connected through their shared interest in the horse-one studying
the stallion's bones for clues to his power and endurance, the
other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who
were critical to his racing success. Based on the remarkable true
story of the record-breaking thoroughbred, Lexington, who became
America's greatest stud sire, Horse is an original ,gripping,
multi-layered reckoning with the legacy of enslavement and racism
in America.
