De twintigjarige Afro-Amerikaanse Bigger Thomas is afkomstig uit een achterstandswijk in Chicago. Tijdens zijn eerste etmaal als chauffeur in dienst van een gegoede witte familie vermoordt hij de dochter des huizes, en slaat hij op de vlucht. Zowel de moord en aanleiding ertoe, zijn vlucht en het verdere verloop tot aan het vonnis in de rechtszaak zijn doordrenkt van het racisme dat Biggers hele wereld en leven bepaalt. Het verhaal van Bigger houdt ons een spiegel voor. Door dit pijnlijke, messcherpe verhaal staan Bigger Thomas en zijn problemen blijvend in de gedachten van de lezer geëtst. Richard Wright weet voelbaar te maken wat racisme met een mens doet, en hoezeer het een maatschappij ontwricht. Dat maakt Een van ons tot een iconische roman.

Baldwin: A Love Story
WINNER OF THE NBCC JOHN LEONARD PRIZEWINNER OF THE PEN/ JACQUELINE BOGRAD WELD AWARD FOR BIOGRAPHYA TIME TOP 10 BOOK OF 2025AN ATLANTIC TOP 10 BOOK OF 2025A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2025AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE YEARDrawing on new archival material, original research, and interviews, this spellbinding book is the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, revealing how profoundly his personal relationships shaped his life and work. Baldwin: A Love Story, the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, reveals how profoundly the writer's personal relationships shaped his life and work. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material and original research and interviews, this spellbinding book tells the overlapping stories of Baldwin's most sustaining intimate and artistic relationships: with his mentor, the Black American painter Beauford Delaney; with his lover and muse, the Swiss painter Lucien Happersberger; and with his collaborators, the famed Turkish actor Engin Cezzar and the iconoclastic French artist Yoran Cazac, whose long-overlooked significance as Baldwin's last great love is explored in these pages for the first time. Nicholas Boggs shows how Baldwin drew on all the complex forces within these relationships-geographical, cultural, political, artistic, and erotic-and alchemized them into novels, essays, and plays that speak truth to power and had an indelible impact on the civil rights movement and on Black and queer literary history. Richly immersive, Baldwin: A Love Story follows the writer's creative journey between Harlem, Paris, Switzerland, the southern United States, Istanbul, Africa, the South of France, and beyond. In so doing, it magnifies our understanding of the public and private lives of one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century, whose contributions only continue to grow in influence.

The Black Box
Writing the RaceThe allure of this book, and the reason for its existence, are the narrative links he draws among these people and events, and his insistence that a survey of African American history is incomplete without a special consideration of how writing has undergirded and powered it. This is a literary history of Black America, but it is also an argument that African American history is inextricable from the history of African American literature

Zowel de moord en aanleiding ertoe, zijn vlucht en het verdere verloop tot aan het vonnis in de rechtszaak zijn doordrenkt van het racisme dat Biggers hele wereld en leven bepaalt.

Richard Wright weet voelbaar te maken wat racisme met een mens doet, en hoezeer het een maatschappij ontwricht. Dat maakt Een van ons (Native Son) tot een iconische roman.

The Princess Bride Deluxe Limited Edition
“Nutball funny . . . A ‘classic’ medieval melodrama that sounds like all the Saturday serials you ever saw feverishly reworked by the Marx Brothers.”—Newsweek A gorgeously designed limited edition of William Goldman’s beloved classic, featuring sprayed and stenciled edges, and a gold foil cover.—a tale of true love and high adventure, pirates, princesses, giants, miracles, fencing, and a frightening assortment of wild beasts that is a modern storytelling classic. A perfect gift book for those who have already fallen in love with and those still yet to discover the magic of Westley, Princess Buttercup, and their cherished crew. As Florin and Guilder teeter on the verge of war, Princess Buttercup is devastated when her one true love dies at sea. But instead of being able to grieve in peace, she finds herself kidnapped by a mercenary and his henchmen, then rescued by a pirate, then forced to marry Prince Humperdinck, and finally rescued once again by the very crew who absconded with her in the first place. In the course of this dazzling adventure, she'll meet Vizzini—the criminal philosopher who’ll do anything for a bag of gold; Fezzik—the gentle giant; Inigo—the Spaniard whose steel thirsts for revenge; and Count Rugen—the evil mastermind behind it all. Foiling all their plans is Westley, Buttercup's true love who survived after all, and became a very good friend to a very dangerous pirate. The Princess Bride was unforgettably depicted in the 1987 cult classic film directed by Rob Reiner and starring Fred Savage, Robin Wright, Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin, Wallace Shawn, Cary Elwes, and other actors.
