Produktinformationen "The Fire Next Time; Nobody Knows My Name; No Name In The Street; The Devil Finds Work"

Novelist, essayist, and public intellectual - James Baldwin is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. This Everyman's Library collection includes his bestselling, galvanizing essay The Fire Next Time-which gave voice to the emerging civil rights movement of the 1960s and still lights the way to understanding race in America today-along with three additional brilliant works of nonfiction by this seminal chronicler and analyst of culture. From No Name In the Street's extraordinary history of the turbulent sixties and early seventies to the "passionate, probing, controversial" (The Atlantic) Nobody Knows My Name and the incisive criticism of American movies in The Devil Finds Work, Baldwin's stunning prose over and over proves relevant to our contemporary struggle for equality, justice, and social change.

James Baldwin

James Baldwin (Author) JAMES BALDWIN (1924-1987) was a novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, appeared in 1953 to excellent reviews, and his essay collections Notes of a Native Son and The Fire Next Time were best sellers that made him an influential figure in the growing civil rights movement. Baldwin spent much of his life in France, where he moved to escape the racism and homophobia of the United States. He died in France in 1987, a year after being made a Commander of the French Legion of Honor.

Nach der Flut das Feuer
'Baldwins Essays sind wie Brandbomben in Trump-Land.' Georg Diez, ¿Der Spiegel¿James Baldwin war zehn Jahre alt, als er zum ersten Mal Opfer weißer Polizeigewalt wurde. Dreißig Jahre später, 1963, brach ¿Nach der Flut das Feuer ¿ The Fire Next Time¿ wie ein Inferno über die amerikanische Gesellschaft herein und wurde sofort zum Bestseller. Baldwin rief dazu auf, dem rassistischen Alptraum, der die Weißen ebenso plage wie die Schwarzen, gemeinsam ein Ende zu machen. Ein Ruf, der heute wieder sein ganzes provokatives Potenzial entlädt: 'Die Welt ist nicht länger weiß, und sie wird nie mehr weiß sein.'Mit einem Vorwort von Jana Pareigis

Go Tell it on the Mountain
James Baldwin's electrifying first novel.<BR><BR>'I had to deal with what hurt me most. I had to deal with my father.'<BR><BR>Drawing on James Baldwin's own boyhood in a religious community in 1930s Harlem, his first novel tells the story of young Johnny Grimes. Johnny is destined to become a preacher like his father, Gabriel, at the Temple of the Fire Baptized, where the church swells with song and it is as if 'the Holy Ghost were riding on the air'. But he feels only scalding hatred for Gabriel, whose fear and fanaticism lead him to abuse his family. Johnny vows that, for him, things will be different. This blazing tale is full of passion and guilt, of secret sinners and prayers singing on the wind. <BR><BR>'His prose hit me, almost winding me with its intensity. I'd never read a novel that described loneliness and desire with such burning eloquence' Douglas Field, Guardian<BR><BR>'A beautiful, enduring, spirtual song of a novel' Andrew O'Hagan

Four Great Americans
James Baldwin was one of the most prolific authors of school books for children at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. Though written for young readers, the stories of Washington, Franklin, Webster, and Lincoln appeal to many adult readers too. Each of these men made invaluable contributions to the early formative years of the formation of United States of America.
