Native son / by Wright, Richard,1908-1960.;

Right from the start, Bigger Thomas had been headed for jail. It could have been for assault or petty larceny; by chance, it was for murder and rape. Native Son tells the story of this young black man caught in a downward spiral after he kills a young white woman in a brief moment of panic. Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Richard Wright's novel is just as powerful today as when it was written -- in its reflection of poverty and hopelessness, and what it means to be black in America.

The collected poems of Langston Hughes / by Hughes, Langston,1902-1967.; Rampersad, Arnold.; Roessel, David E.(David Ernest),1954-;

Includes bibliographical references and indexes."The ultimate book for both the dabbler and serious scholar. -- [Hughes] is sumptuous and sharp, playful and sparse, grounded in an earthy music -- This book is a glorious revelation." -- Boston Globe Spanning five decades and comprising 868 poems (nearly 300 of which have never before appeared in book form), this magnificent volume is the definitive sampling of a writer who has been called the poet laureate of African America--and perhaps our greatest popular poet since Walt Whitman. Here, for the first time, are all the poems that Langston Hughes published during his lifetime, arranged in the general order in which he wrote them and annotated by Arnold Rampersad and David Roessel. Alongside such famous works as "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" and Montage of a Dream Deferred, The Collected Poems includes the author's lesser-known verse for children; topical poems distributed through the Associated Negro Press; and poems such as "Goodbye Christ" that were once suppressed. Lyrical and pungent, passionate and polemical, the result is a treasure of a book, the essential collection of a poet whose words have entered our common language.A chronology of the life of Langston Hughes -- The poems of Langston Hughes: Poems 1921-1930 -- Poems 1931-1940 -- Poems 1941-1950 -- Poems 1951-1960 -- Poems 1961-1967 -- Appendix 1: Poems circulated by the Associated Negro Press -- Appendix 2: Poetry for children -- Appendix 3: Additional poems.
