Book Synopsis



Premio Pulitzer 2025 * National Award Prize 2024

James es un libro fascinante, una reescritura de Las aventuras de Huckleberry Finn de Mark Twain desde el punto de vista de Jim, el esclavo. Con una inteligencia sobrecogedora, Percival Everett es capaz de demoler las absurdas barreras del racismo. Sentimos la igualdad natural en esta aventura y entendemos que el robo del lenguaje es fundamental en cualquier tipo de esclavitud. En ese sentido, James resuena en nuestro presente. James es el nombre de la dignidad.

El esclavo ha visitado de forma clandestina la biblioteca de su amo y ha aprendido a leer y escribir. Entonces, se entera de que lo han vendido y que lo van a separar de su mujer y su hija. Decide escaparse. En esa aventura trepidante lo acompaña Huck. Los dos se convierten en una pareja de personajes que se necesitan mutuamente no solo para sobrevivir, también para conocerse y mantener cierta humanidad. El lenguaje es fundamental en este libro de lectura trepidante construido casi enteramente a través del diálogo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Pulitzer Prize 2025 * National Award Prize 2024

James is a fascinating novel--a reimagining of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man. With staggering insight, Percival Everett dismantles the absurd barriers of racism. We feel the natural equality in this journey and understand that the theft of language is central to every form of enslavement. In that sense, James resonates deeply with our present. James is the name of dignity.

The enslaved man has secretly visited his master's library and taught himself to read and write. When he learns he's been sold and will be separated from his wife and daughter, he decides to escape. Huck joins him on this gripping adventure. Together, they become a pair who need each other not only to survive, but to understand themselves and preserve their humanity. Language is at the heart of this fast-paced novel, built almost entirely through dialogue.
