À propos de cet audio

 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • From the National Book Award–winning author of Between the World and Me, a boldly conjured debut novel about a magical gift, a devastating loss, and an underground war for freedom.

“This potent book about America’s most disgraceful sin establishes [Ta-Nehisi Coates] as a first-rate novelist.”—San Francisco Chronicle

IN DEVELOPMENT AS A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • Adapted by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Kamilah Forbes, directed by Nia DaCosta, and produced by MGM, Plan B, and Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Films

NOMINATED FOR THE NAACP IMAGE AWARD • NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • NPR • The Washington Post • Chicago Tribune • Vanity Fair • Esquire • Good Housekeeping • Paste • Town & Country • The New York Public Library • Kirkus Reviews • Library Journal

Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all memory of her—but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home he’s ever known.

So begins an unexpected journey that takes Hiram from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia’s proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the wilderness, from the coffin of the Deep South to dangerously idealistic movements in the North. Even as he’s enlisted in the underground war between slavers and the enslaved, Hiram’s resolve to rescue the family he left behind endures.

This is the dramatic story of an atrocity inflicted on generations of women, men, and children—the violent and capricious separation of families—and the war they waged to simply make lives with the people they loved. Written by one of today’s most exciting thinkers and writers, The Water Dancer is a propulsive, transcendent work that restores the humanity of those from whom everything was stolen.

Praise for The Water Dancer

“Ta-Nehisi Coates is the most important essayist in a generation and a writer who changed the national political conversation about race with his 2015 memoir, Between the World and Me. So naturally his debut novel comes with slightly unrealistic expectations—and then proceeds to exceed them. The Water Dancer . . . is a work of both staggering imagination and rich historical significance. . . . What’s most powerful is the way Coates enlists his notions of the fantastic, as well as his fluid prose, to probe a wound that never seems to heal. . . . Timeless and instantly canon-worthy.”—Rolling Stone Fantastique Fiction Fiction de genre Historique Magique Magical Realism Fiction

This story is magical and beautiful. The narration is so powerful in its ability to place you in every circumstance that you feel like you can not only experience but touch.
Beautiful.

Magical and beautiful

Very much enjoyed this deep journey through what slavery was like in Virginia, and getting a better sense of how twisted and tangled it became.
My only complaint is that I found the mysticism aspect ultimately didn’t feel real and I simply didn’t know what to do with it. But that may simply be my shortcomings.

So deeply evocative

A wonderful story and amazing narrator! It didn’t take long to fall into this book and the story. It took me away and I was sad when it was over. I could have kept listening for hours.

Wonderful Listen

This unique novel is narrated by the most talented man who breaks out into song intermittently. What an unusual addition to a most enchanting novel.
This is the number 1 for the year in my opinion!

Truly remarkable tale

The first sentence was long and breathless and intriguing. I wanted to know more about the ‘stone bridge”, and “she”, and the “I” who “avoided that bridge”. The rest of the story and the beautiful writing didn’t disappoint.

Joe Morton has a gift for creating theatre for the mind.

I’ve recommended this novel on my Facebook page, and like I’ve said there, It’s a story you wouldn’t soon forget.

Story-telling At Its Best

This is not normally the type of book I would read but it was well worth every moment. Although the story is fiction the it felt very real. To be enslaved with no control over any aspect of your life is uncomprehendable and what would you do to escape? There is so much more to this. Very well written and told beautifully by Joe Morton the perfect voice for the telling.

Fabulous Story

OMG I thought I knew about the underground railway but I need more information. amazing story and I love it all

What an amazing read, narrator was brilliantly chosen. I did not want to stop listening to eat. What a remarkable depiction of the era of the Underground Railroad, the lack of racist words or the depiction of physical abuse. It made the book definitely more tolerable to read, yet my heart still pained at times listening to the many injustice that happened.

Great narrator

Took me through Hiram’s life reflection and made me walk in his shoes. Great narration with character distinction! Recommend a listen

Great listen!

It was a most heart wrenching story told brilliantly! I could not stop listening and sad when it finished.. We all heard stories of slavery before but Ta-Nehisi managed to convey even more meaning to the suffering in this book.

Enticing and heart wrenching
