Sobre este artículo
Garden City: Doubleday, 1976. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. Very good with neat owner's gift inscription penned on front fly, spotting on top page edges, some pages neatly dog-eared, spine ends lightly bumped in a very good lightly tanned dustwrapper with spine ends chipped. A groundbreaking book which pioneered mainstream interest in African-American antecedents and culture. The landmark television dramatization was watched by over 100 million people and remains a highpoint in the medium's history. *Roots* was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize in 1977 and it remains a key testament to the scope of the African-American experience.
Sinopsis
Tracing his ancestry through six generations - slaves and freedmen, farmers and blacksmiths, lawyers and architects - back to Africa, Alex Haley discovered a sixteen-year-old youth, Kunta Kinte. It was this young man, who had been torn from his homeland and in torment and anguish brought to the slave markets of the New World, who held the key to Haley's deep and distant past. Originally published: Garden City, N.Y. : Doubleday, 1976.
