About This Novel

Barry Jenkins, the Oscar-winning director of "Moonlight", directs the "Underground" drama series of the same name, which will premiere on May 14, 2021. With "The Underground Railroad", Colson Whitehead became the only novelist in the 21st century to win the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for the same novel. The book was praised by both Obama and Oprah, and was included in Obama's summer reading list and recommended by the "Oprah Book Club". It is also loved by famous writers and authoritative book critics such as Stephen King, John Updike, Salman Rushdie, Vazquez, Michiko Kakutani, etc. It also swept through all major book lists in the United States and was recommended by mainstream media such as The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Times. This is a "wonderful story about escape, dedication, and rescue." The girl Cora is homeless, bullied and raped, and leads a hopeless life. Determined to escape from the hell on earth, she crossed the black water of the swamp and the darkness of the forest, took the secret underground railway, and headed north to freedom. Along the way, she saw the evil in society, the injustice of the law, violence everywhere, and how fragile kindness is. The good Samaritans fell one by one, but the slave hunters were still in hot pursuit. Maybe you have to be brave enough to decide to read a novel about slavery. But once you embark on Cora's escape, you can't give up halfway. This is a heartbreaking story and an enlightening journey to find life in the face of hopeless adversity and find light in the dark underground.

Slavery, oppression, unfairness. Even now, there is still a long way to go in the pursuit of peace and fairness. I would like to thank and pay tribute to those who continue to pay and sacrifice for this. We should also reflect on ourselves, starting with me.

The foreign past may seem far away from us, but it still has practical significance and remains fresh over time.

Like. On the fictional railway tracks, multiple humanities are displayed.

I came to read the underground railway in order to write a thesis, and got a thrilling story. I hope Cora will always be free.
