Krátky popis
The unmissable debut novel by the critically acclaimed author of
Between the World and Me andWe Were Eight Years in Power- a richly
imagined and compulsively page-turning journey to freedom Hiram
Walker is born into bondage on a Virginia plantation. But he is
also born gifted with a mysterious power that he won't discover
until he is almost a man, when he risks everything for a chance to
escape. One fateful decision will carry him away from his makeshift
plantation family - his adoptive mother, Thena, a woman of few
words and many secrets, and his beloved, angry Sophia - and into
the covert heart of the underground war on slavery. Hidden amidst
the corrupt grandeur of white plantation society, exiled as
guerrilla cells in the wilderness, buried in the coffin of the deep
South and agitating for utopian ideals in the North, there exists a
widespread network of secret agents working to liberate the
enslaved.Hiram joins their ranks and learns fast but in his heart
he yearns to return to his own still-enslaved family, to topple the
plantation that was his first home. But to do so, he must first
master his secret power and reclaim the story of his greatest loss.
Propulsive, transcendent and blazing with truth, The Water Danceris
a story of oppression and resistance, separation and homecoming.
Ta-Nehisi Coates imagines the covert war of an enslaved people in
response to a generations-long human atrocity - a war for the right
to life, to kin, to freedom.
