Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hellish for all the slaves, but Cora is an outcast even among her fellow Africans, and she is coming into womanhood; even greater pain awaits. Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, and they plot their escape. Matters do not go as planned - Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her - but they manage to find a station and head north.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is not a metaphor - a secret network of tracks and tunnels has been built beneath the Southern soil. Cora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, where both find work in a city that at first seems like a haven. But the city's placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens - and Ridgeway, the relentless slave-catcher sent to find her, arrives in town. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing journey, state-by-state, seeking true freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike Gulliver, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journey - Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors for black people in states in the pre-Civil War era. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage, and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe story of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shatteringly powerful meditation on history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinner of the National book award 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinner of pulitzer prize for fiction 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59755840929873,"sku":"0708898408","price":133.0,"currency_code":"PEN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/6455\/3809\/files\/A1d080MlgaL.jpg?v=1783391677","url":"https:\/\/provetodo.cl\/es-pe\/products\/libro-the-underground-railroad-10th-anniversary-edition","provider":"Provetodo ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
