La obra cumbre de Ralph Ellison es una feroz visiï¿½n de la sociedad estadounidense durante los primeros aï¿½os del siglo XX. Considerada la obra cumbre de Ralph Ellison y una de las cien mejores novelas de lengua inglesa del siglo XX, esta novela es el relato en primera persona de quien se describe a sï¿½ mismo como un ï¿½hombre invisibleï¿½, no por una anormal condiciï¿½n fisiolï¿½gica, sino porque la sociedad permanece ciega ante ï¿½l; se niega a verlo. Ellison desgrana asï¿½, desde el presente oscuro, ï¿½bajo tierraï¿½, del protagonista, las preocupaciones sociales e intelectuales de su tiempo con crudeza y sensibilidad. De ello resulta una dura crï¿½tica tejida con poesï¿½a e inteligencia, ganadora del National Book Award de ficciï¿½n en 1953. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - In this deeply compelling novel and epic milestone of American literature, a nameless narrator tells his story from the basement lair of the Invisible Man he imagines himself to be. One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years He describes growing up in a Black community in the South, attending a Negro college from which he is expelled, moving to New York and becoming the chief spokesman of the Harlem branch of "the Brotherhood," before retreating amid violence and confusion. Originally published in 1952 as the first novel by a then unknown author, it remained on the bestseller list for sixteen weeks and established Ralph Ellison as one of the key writers of the century. The book is a passionate and witty tour de force of style, strongly influenced by T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, James Joyce, and Dostoevsky.
