The Known World A novel by Edward P JonesAwardsNational Book Award for Fiction (nominee)Pulitzer Prize for FictionMasterful, Pulitzer-prize winning literary epic about the painful and complex realities of slave life on a Southern plantation. An utterly original exploration of race, trust and the cruel truths of human nature, this is a landmark in modern American literature. Henry Townsend, a black farmer, boot maker, and former slave, becomes proprietor of his own plantation -- as well as his own slaves. When he dies, his widow, Caldonia, succumbs to profound grief, and things begin to fall apart: slaves take to escaping under the cover of night, and families who had once found love beneath the weight of slavery begin to betray one another. Beyond the Townsend household, the known world also unravels: low-paid white patrollers stand watch as slave 'speculators' sell free black people into slavery, and rumours of slave rebellions set white families against slaves who have served them for years. An ambitious, luminously written novel that ranges from the past to the present, The Known World seamlessly weaves together the lives of the freed and the enslaved -- and allows all of us a deeper understanding of the enduring multi-dimensional world created by the institution of slavery.
Synopsis:
Linked by a legendary star sapphire necklace that was carried by the Magi as they went to see the Christ Child and that magically reappears just before the turn of each century to bestow the gift of love upon its temporary owner, this sparkling quartet of holiday romances from four of Jove's better-known writers sweeps readers from 999 to 1999, deftly capturing the differing flavors of each period in well-crafted tales of love and enchantment. Two sisters find unexpected love and help bring peace between two enemy warriors in Jo Beverley's passionate, Viking-filled "Day of Wrath"; a jilted heroine, a noble sea captain, and his young nephew heal old wounds and form a family at the dawn of the 19th century in Alice Alfonsi's charming "Starlight Wedding"; a cowboy kidnaps a mail-order bride intended for another to provide a "mother" for four orphans he has inadvertently won in a poker game in Tess Farraday's lively, funny "Last Kiss at the Loving Cup Saloon"; and a downed plane, missing millions, and Y2K cause problems for a wealthy foundation director in Kate Freiman's very modern, mystery-laced "Joy to the World."
