Confessions of Nat Turner

(us) William Styron

318K0

The leader of the black slave uprising sounded the strong voice of freedom in desperate situations! The Pulitzer Prize winner analyzes history with words of blood and tears! This book is a Pulitzer Prize-winning book and has been certified by Time magazine as one of the Top 100 English Novels. Its content subverts the traditional heroic narrative and has a more shocking soul confession than "Braveheart". It witnesses the darkness of human nature at the intersection of violence and compassion. The author uses words to penetrate the fog of history and reconstructs the truth with a seven-thousand-word confession: He is trapped between the slave world and the free world, unable to reach or escape. In 1831, the black prophet Nat Turner launched the only effective and sustained uprising in the history of black slavery in the United States. After this failure Turner was tried, convicted and hanged in Jerusalem, Virginia. William Styron wrote the novel "The Confessions of Nat Turner" based on real historical figures. He used first-person narration to revive the hanged uprising leader in literature. He not only captured the courage of people under oppression, but also captured the hesitation of those who were unable to advance or retreat, and the loneliness of those who had no support. With his profound understanding of complex social reality and complex human nature, Styron gave Nat Turner a rich flesh and blood that was never shown in macro historical narratives. This is not a black-and-white epic of resistance, but a soulful lament that explores the complexity of human nature amid oppression and violence.

Writer Wang Xiaofang clearly blends the two perfectly. He integrates the profound thoughts of Chinese sages into the novel's situation in a concise, bright and vivid style. Through a series of wonderful dreams experienced by a fourteen-year-old girl Qianyi, he introduces the core thoughts of Chinese philosophers from different schools from ancient times to the present when they think about the universe and life.
