Cora, seize ans, est esclave sur une plantation de coton dans la Géorgie d'avant la guerre de Sécession. Abandonnée par sa mère lorsqu'elle était enfant, elle survit tant bien que mal à la violence de sa condition. Lorsque Caesar, un esclave récemment arrivé de Virginie, lui propose de s'enfuir, elle accepte et tente, au péril de sa vie, de gagner avec lui les États libres du Nord. De la Caroline du Sud à l'Indiana en passant par le Tennessee, Cora va vivre une incroyable odyssée. Traquée comme une bête par un impitoyable chasseur d'esclaves qui l'oblige à fuir, sans cesse, elle fera tout pour conquérir sa liberté.

L'une des prouesses de Colson Whitehead est de matérialiser l' "Underground Railroad", le célèbre réseau clandestin d'aide aux esclaves en fuite qui devient ici une véritable voie ferrée souterraine, pour explorer, avec une originalité et une maîtrise époustouflantes, les fondements et la mécanique du racisme.

À la fois récit d'un combat poignant et réflexion saisissante sur la lecture de l'Histoire, ce roman est une œuvre politique aujourd'hui plus que jamais nécessaire.©2016 / 2017 Colson Whitehead, tous droits réservés / Éditions Albin Michel pour la traduction française (P)2017 Audiolib Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Literary Fiction

I wanted the English version there’s nothing on here saying it’s the French version is I think it’s French not Spanish. I know it’s a great book I read it in high school and now my daughter needs to read it and I need the English version so does she

Doesn’t say anywhere in the product title or image that this recording is of a French language narrator, but it is. Not a good surprise.
