HTML:<b>Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. The basis for the acclaimed original Amazon Prime Video series directed by Barry Jenkins.</b><br /> <br /> Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. An outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is on the cusp of womanhood—where greater pain awaits. And so when Caesar, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him.<br /> <br /> In Colson Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret network of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora embarks on a harrowing flight from one state to the next, encountering, like Gulliver, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop.<br /> <br /> As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum era, he weaves in the saga of our nation, from the brutal abduction of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. <i>The Underground Railroad</i> is both the gripping tale of one woman's will to escape the horrors of bondage—and a powerful meditation on the history we all share.<br /> <br /> <b>Look for Colson Whitehead’s bestselling new novel, <i>Harlem Shuffle!</i></b>.
