Invisible Man / Ralph Ellison
Titre : Invisible Man Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ralph Ellison, Auteur Editeur : Penguin English Library Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 581 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-241-97056-0 Langues : Américain (ame) Note de contenu : The narrator introduces himself right off the bat as an invisible man. Hi, invisible man.
He lives off the grid, in a warm hole in the ground where he is hibernating in anticipation of future direct, visible action. But before all this direct, visible action happens, he needs to detail his road to recognizing his invisibility. We get context when we learn that the narrator's grandparents were former slaves freed after the Civil War.
On his deathbed, the narrator's grandfather, who had been considered a meek man, confesses anger towards the white-controlled system and advocates using the system against them. The narrator dismisses his grandfather's words and goes on to live a meek and obedient life as a model black student. After writing a successful speech on the importance of humility to black progress (i.e., the idea that blacks can progress as long as they recognize whites as superior), he is invited to give the speech to leaders of his town. The narrator is super-excited to give this speech.Age : A partir de 10 ans Invisible Man [texte imprimé] / Ralph Ellison, Auteur . - Penguin English Library, 2014 . - 581 p.
