Synopsis "Jazz (Spanish Edition) (in Spanish)"

Una potente novela sobre un crimen pasional y sus consecuencias ambientada en el Harlem de la década de 1920, con la firma inconfundible de Toni Morrison Cuando Violet y Joe Trace, un matrimonio entrado en años, llegan a Nueva York huyendo de la intolerancia de su Virginia natal, creen que podrán vivir en libertad sin importar el color de su piel. Pero el Harlem de los años '20, foco de un vibrante renacimiento cultural, les depara apuros inesperados. Joe acabará cometiendo un horrendo crimen pasional, mientras que Violet se verá obligada a convivir con sus celos y las repercusiones del acto de su marido. Retrato de una comunidad en plena ebullición, Jazz es una potente novela sobre conflictos raciales, ilusiones perdidas y las injusticias padecidas por las mujeres en el siglo XX. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Transforms a familiar refrain of jilted love into a bold, sustaining time of self-knowledge and discovery. Its rhythms are infectious." --People In the winter of 1926, when everybody everywhere sees nothing but good things ahead, Joe Trace, middle-aged door-to-door salesman of Cleopatra beauty products, shoots his teenage lover to death. At the funeral, Joe's wife, Violet, attacks the girl's corpse. This passionate, profound story of love and obsession brings us back and forth in time, as a narrative is assembled from the emotions, hopes, fears, and deep realities of black urban life. "The author conjures up worlds with complete authority and makes no secret of her angst at the injustices dealt to black women." --The New York Times Book Review

(Ohio, 1931 - New York, 2019) Chloe Ardelia Wofford, known under the pseudonym Toni Morrison, is an African American storyteller. She alternated her job as a Humanities professor at Princeton University with literary activity. In her works, she addressed the issues of the black population in the United States, especially the situation of women. She was the first black woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. She died in August 2019 in the small New York village of Grand View-on-Hudson at the age of eighty-eight.

In her works, she addressed the issues of the black population in the United States, as well as other themes such as identity, memory, racism, or cultural resistance. Among her most notable novels are Beloved, with which she won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize, The Bluest Eye, and Song of Solomon.

Her literary style combines deep psychological introspection with unique lyricism, marking a before and after in American literature. Through her work, Morrison left a timeless legacy, giving voice to silenced stories and challenging dominant power structures.
