Description
"Así empieza Paraíso, con esta horrible escena de violencia. El pueblo de Ruby, Oklahoma, se fundó en los años cuarenta por descendientes de esclavos liberados y supervivientes de un éxodo hostil. Esta comunidad patriarcal está erigida sobre los cimientos de la justicia, el respeto mutuo y el amor al prójimo. Pero en los setenta esos valores han sido sustituidos por el miedo. El paraíso terrenal que se habían construido se estaba desmoronando. El chivo expiatorio se encuentra solo a veintisiete kilómetros de distancia, en El convento, una mansión abandonada ocupada por cuatro mujeres desesperadas, también hijas de exiliados. Sobre ellas cae el dolor, el terror y la rabia asesina de nueve hombres ciudadanos de Ruby."--Casadellibro.
Description
"They shoot the white girl first. With the rest they can take their time." So begins Toni Morrison's Paradise, which opens with a horrifying scene of mass violence and chronicles its genesis in an all-black small town in rural Oklahoma. Founded by the descendants of freed slaves and survivors in exodus from a hostile world, the patriarchal community of Ruby is built on righteousness, rigidly enforced moral law, and fear. But seventeen miles away, another group of exiles has gathered in a promised land of their own. And it is upon these women in flight from death and despair that nine male citizens of Ruby will lay their pain, their terror, and their murderous rage.
